This convivence store/gas station restaurant doesn't look like much but it is the true definition of a hidden gem. I'm not sure if the restaurant goes by "Don Taco" or "Guapo Taco" but signage for Guapo Taco was painted on the inside and outside when I visited. I tried the Mexican Street Elote and Birria Tacos. The elote was some of the best I have ever tried (even when in Mexico). Juicy corn was topped and mixed with creamy mayo and sour cream and paired perfectly with hot sauce. The tacos were also phenomenal! Savory crisped tortillas were filled with tender flavorful beef and gooey cheese and paired flavorful consommé for dipping, crisp onions, limes, and flavorful cilantro. This was some of the best Mexican food I have had in Texas and a must try.

Y'all already know gas station tacos are the best tacos! I didn't make the rule it's just the way it is! Now let's get into these tacos! The reviews did not lie! These tacos are SO good!! There way the picture looks is exactly the way they taste, sensational! If you are in the area or willing to drive these tacos will not let you down!!

We just moved here from Dallas and we have been having trouble finding a good taco spot.... well... WE FOUND IT! They are really good and if you like alittle extra salt you can add it. The vibe is nice, and his customer service is great! Now, they are a bit pricey if you dont come on a day with a special but its worth it! AND he has Elotes & Aguas frescas

Came back here for the first time since beginning of Covid. I guess this place really boomed since then!!! I love me some Birrieria tacos so I got those which were sooo crispy and greasy in a good way. The consome was beefy as expected. I thought the street tacos were pretty standard, it didn't stand out imo. And the beans/rice were forgettable. What makes this stand out is the owner, he cares about the customers and will go out of his way to make you happy. Deserves a 5 star.

The best birria tacos I've had in a long time!!

Holy sh!$t!!, we have been in Austin for over a year hoping to find some good Birria Tacos, no luck, we found some freaking amazing tacos here in Ft Worth. Please don't let the place turn you away when you pull up. Yes it's a gas station, yes it doesn't look like a place with amazing tacos but come on in! My wife and I had the birria with consumel, deliciooooosss! I love when the tacos are nice and crispy and the cheese is so hot when you bite in you know they're fresh. The guacamole salsa has a nice bite and just so good. We were here in Dallas to see our Dodgers win 2 out of 3 from the Rangers, Guapo Tacos capped off a great weekend. Next time I am coming to Dallas I'm making a point to head into Ft Worth to get my fix of birria! It's a small place, support this great local eatery.

Sherelle L.

The hype is real! BEST Birria tacos I have had in DFW. Yes, it's in a gas station.. but to me that makes it better lol. The tacos were packed with meant and meat seasoned to perfection. Beyond the amazing tacos the service was friendly! The man held a nice casual conversation with me which was surprising for the environment. I WILL BE BACK!

Guapos Tacos, Ft. Worth: A Unique Take on Mexican Fare Ambiance: Guapos Tacos in Ft. Worth is located in an unsuspecting location within a gas station to the far right corner hidden behind the cashier desk. The decor is simple and overall the dining experience is casual. Food: I started with the Guapo taco, which was bursting with flavor and generously topped with crunchy cabbage. It was a delightful introduction to their menu. Next, I tried the burrito, filled with garbanzo beans, corn, cilantro, and a variety of other ingredients. While flavorful, I personally prefer Mexican dishes with subtle flavors that allow the star ingredients to shine. Nevertheless, I appreciated the craftsmanship and unique approach to their offerings. Overall Experience: Guapos Tacos offers a refreshing twist on traditional Mexican cuisine, catering to those who enjoy bold and diverse flavors. The food is crafted with care, showcasing a creative blend of ingredients that may not align perfectly with my personal taste preferences but certainly demonstrate culinary expertise. Would I recommend it? For adventurous eaters seeking inventive Mexican dishes in Ft. Worth, Guapo Tacos is worth exploring. While it may not align with everyone's flavor preferences, the vibrant ambiance and innovative menu make it a standout in the local dining scene.

Robert L.

In the back corner of a convenience store, Guapo Taco is a hidden gem to be sure. Absolutely perfect birria tacos. Flavorful filling with an exterior crunch and a consommé that will become your best friend. Served with a heap of cilantro and chopped onions. Cannot wait to come back.

Charles B.

Without a doubt the best Birria tacos you're going to find in Fort Worth You'll be surprised that you've never heard of this place before. We just happened to drive by and saw birria tacos sold out of a gas station, that was all we needed to know. Sure enough, easily top 3 taco I've ever had

This is a small taco stand in the back of a gas station convenience store. The taco meats were seasoned nicely, the veggies crunchy and fresh, the salsa tasty and hot! If you like small divey taco places that deliver solid street style tacos, try Guapo Taco. It was recommended to us by some locals as some of the best tacos in Ft Worth so we stopped in for a lunch bite. There a few tables that seat 4 people inside. It seems a lot order tacos to go. The menu was not extensive but what they served was delicious. Would definitely visit this place again when I am hungry for a good street style taco.

Guapo Taco is a hidden gem. It's inside the gas station with a casual interior. Absolutely blown away with the quality of the food here. Birria consumé is smoky, beefy, rich, and delicious. They have trophies on display for their Al pastor tacos but I'm telling you, the consumé is insanely good. Really welcoming staff too.

This place is freaking amazing, didn't expected the flavors by the looks of outside, I don't live close to here but will be back. Food taste like if you were in TJ Mexico

Heard a lot about this place through friends and reviews. Gave it a try, inside a little gas station and I'm not sure the pumps even work lol. Tried 2 of the "Guapo" style tacos. Both were great, fresh, obviously made to order. It seemed to get busy but not bad but it was a little wait so if you are going for lunch, FYI. But worth the wait! Will be back, they have a nice menu and the chef/owner is very hospitable and attentive to each guest. Will be back! read more

First of all,the OWNER-Angel Fuentes- was on his phone the first 8 whole minutes before he acknowledged me and took and my order. Second,when he finally got off the phone,he was rushing me through my order and said "Oou I got you girl." Like don't do that, tf, we are not homies. Thirdly, I literally walked out the store and back in less than 3min and he was already done with my whole order. Which I was trying to make changes to, because my man doesn't eat pork, so I just wanted to take the pastor quesadillas and 3 pastor tacos off and keep my 3 barbocoa tacos. (Which they only had pastor and barbocoa avail,like what kinda shit!?). Then Angel had an attitude and was tossing my food around,huffing and puffin!. Once I finally got my food, he charged me $30 for 3 tacos, and still got mad because HE misunderstood me. But he went ahead and gave me full order and reimbursed me, but still had a terrible attitude. LASTLY, when I started eating, I could tell he just put my barbocoa meat on the PASTOR tortillas bc you could see the red marinade left. Me and my man got sick, and was throwing up, and the meat was runny. Smh! Out of alllllll the times I been here, I've never had issues, I always refer ppl here, but after this experience with the owner himself, they don't have to worry about my service.. do TF better.

Some of the best Tacos we've had in Fort Worth! Found Guapo Taco in a Texas Monthly review. Tried two of the Los Tres Amigos Tacos; El Guapo Taco with Asada and El Borracho with Pastor. They were each presented with a special crema & 3 different salsas. Both tacos were so good - the flavors were so well balanced they didnt need any salsa. We liked the simplicity of the white bean and rice sides. Dont let the gas station appearance put you off and miss this great taco experience. read more

And the portions were SMALL. We were sharing across four adults and three kids and everyone only ended up getting a tiny amount. It was really difficult believing we were receiving any real value...it felt like the Don and figured out how to have unsuspecting guests pay double! It to say this isn't a legit high-end Mexican restaurant, it is. But I would more realistically describe it as a high-end steak house with wrap-around Mexican dishes (which explains why the side prices were so extreme). Kids quesadillas with steak were $17 a piece with no sides other than potato chips (a little odd given the context). Anyway, I'll end it where I began...food was good, servers were great...but just not worth the price. If the bill had been half or the portions were larger, it would have felt like we were actually getting value for our money.

Bar seats are comfortable, views of a tv for anyone sitting at the bar, and it's just a nice comfortable atmosphere in there. The hostess and bar tenders I interacted with provided great service.

Interesting experience with some hits but quite a few misses…read more Service was exceptional. Greeted warmly and seated quickly. We started off with a couple margaritas, a side of queso and guacamole. Their chips and salsa were ok....no not really. Their salsa's are "bland". Missing flavor. We tried multiple and non were tasty. We added some verde to their main salsa, squeezed a lime or two and asked for some cilantro, salt and created the perfect salsa. Their Queso had a generic taste. It doesn't taste like real cheese and was liquidity....Even as it cooled it was too runny. A big miss. Their guacamole also felt "premade". Another miss. I ordered the verde enchiladas and enjoyed them. They were tasty but was light on the green sauce. He had the Flautas and Sour cream enchilada. Both were really good. Flautas were crispy.

Just a simple order of cheese enchiladas with beans and rice. I know where comfort food will come from from now on.

The interior and exterior of Buena Vida is warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and quick with our order. There are plenty of areas to sit and their menu offers a variety of options.

Man, this one was a complete surprise. Our original plans for the evening were thrown off due to…read morenot knowing which places in the area were open when, so we opted for this place since it was accessible and the parking seemed to be more reasonable than others in the area. They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.

Wicked Butcher

Went here for a work dinner. I order a very expensive bourbon with 1 small ice cube. 20 minutes…read morelater they bring out the same bourbon full of ice. Said they messed up. You want it? Yes maam! Most of us ordered steaks. Kind of predictable. The waitstaff was so nice, fast, attentive, and just great all around. She made the experience fun but explaining the backgrounds of some plates. Just the right touch. There are so many steak places in downtown Fort Worth. Many are great. Being seated downstairs at the Wicked Butcher is a treat. Try it. It's not the dark dingy experience. It's better.

I essentially lived at Wicked Butcher this week while staying at the Sinclair Hotel, eating here…read moretwice, and it absolutely delivered on every level. The swank, Art Deco atmosphere matches the hotel perfectly, but the food is the real star. For lunch, the Wicked Burger was phenomenal. Built with cheddar, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and a rich sauce on a toasted sesame brioche bun, it hits every savory note perfectly. The rest of the table was equally thrilled with their choices, including the French Dip (loaded with caramelized onions, provolone, and horseradish-garlic aioli on a baguette with a stellar au jus) and the crisp Steak Cobb salad. The truffle fries were a massive hit and a frequent topic of conversation around the table, and even the fountain Diet Coke was perfectly calibrated. I'd be completely remiss if I didn't mention the monster rolls brought out for the table--they are giant, incredibly airy, golden popovers served with a spectacular rosemary honey butter that steals the show before the main course even arrives. For breakfast, I wanted to stay on the healthier side and ordered the Sinclair Breakfast with chicken sausage. The sausage delivered incredible flavor with a perfect, distinct peppery bite. The plate was beautifully balanced with delicate microgreens, and the breakfast potatoes were a total standout--perfectly executed with a great outer char and deep flavor. Paired with excellent, robust Lavazza drip coffee, it was a flawless start to the morning. Across both visits, the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and highly attentive with beverage refills. Top-tier service, great quality, and an absolute must-visit in Fort Worth.

While the bahn mi isn't exactly traditional, it is still very good -- I'd highly suggest getting it with the pate. The sampler appetizer has a little bit of everything and is great for sharing. Pineapple fried rice was delicious. Pad Thai also great! If you're a spicy eater like me, just go for very spicy.

A quick note on seating: the patio is lovely in theory, with the optional open windows and a breezy feel, but the chairs are not winning any comfort awards. Inside booths are the move. Also worth noting, this is Fort Worth, and once the thermometer hits triple digits, the patio conversation ends itself if the windows are open. Plan accordingly. Malai starts every table with steamed sticky rice and an eggplant dip, which is a charming little ritual and a genuinely good one. We also kicked things off with the Edamame, a heads up on the heat level there, and the Fried Imperial Rolls, filled with ground pork and shrimp and served with a sesame soy sauce. Fair warning: these do not photograph well and arrive at the table looking a little shy. Don't be fooled. They're flavorful, subtly spicy, and well worth ordering. For entrees, we tried the Basil Vegetable Fried Rice two ways, one vegan and one with chicken. The vegan version was a genuine surprise, with vegetables cooked just right and a flavor that didn't need the chicken to make its case. The mushrooms, however, had the texture of something you'd find in a hardware store. Chew at your own risk. The Green Curry, meanwhile, was a case of too much of a good thing. The curry was so heavy-handed it drowned everything underneath it. Sometimes restraint is a virtue. Save room for the Banana Pot de Crème. It's creamy, subtly sweet, and a graceful finish to the meal. The service at Malai is enthusiastic, and I do mean enthusiastic. The staff works as a team, all smiles, attentive, always nearby. Occasionally a little too nearby. More than once a plate nearly disappeared before we were done with it. It's a small complaint, and honestly a far better problem than the alternative. They're warm, cheerful, and clearly enjoy what they do, which goes a long way. Portions are generous, so order a few dishes and share the wealth. For a lunch stop between shops, Malai Kitchen punches well above its weight.

There are lots of burger options to choose from, so there's something for just about everyone. One suggestion would be to add a dedicated toppings section to the menu. When building your own burger, it's difficult to know all of the available topping choices. The only downside to our visit was that there was a very large dog dining inside the restaurant. The staff allowed the dog's water bowl to be placed on the table, and while the dog remained on a leash, several employees stopped to pet it before returning to refill drinks, deliver food, or check on guests. That wasn't something I was comfortable with and took away from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

We ordered the shrimp shumai, hot oil wontons, and crispy shrimp balls for our appetizers as well which were all very good. For entrees we ordered General Tso's chicken and Mongolian beef but the Mongolian beef came out tasting unusually sweet so we informed the waitress and she replaced it with a different entree the longhorn beef and peppers which was really good, a few minutes later the manager came to the table and asked about the Mongolian beef and let us know that she had them remake it, she brought it back out to the table and this time it was done perfectly with a good amount of spice and no sweetness we were also able to keep all three entrees which was cool and she took the Mongolian beef off of our check which we very much appreciated. Overall Teddy Wong's is highly recommended by this yelper and I must try for anyone that loves great food and service! We'll definitely be back!

Tried Guapo for the first time today and HOLY SMOKES it was incredible! I had the Guapo Taco, the Latin Lover (both with pastor) and the Elotes Loco, and my boyfriend had the lamb Birria tacos with an ice cold horchata. 10/10 would recommend! Angel is literally the Taco God and we are excited to go back many more times in the future!
