    Stopped in while passing through town. So glad I did! Very clean and pleasant dining area. The staff is very friendly and polite. It was lunchtime and there were only 4 other parties in the restaurant. Food came out quickly and with a nice presentation. I had the birria taco plate. Awesome taste and plenty of food with the three taco. Served with chips and salsa and under $13 with water to drink. Overall a great experience and highly recommend.

    Asada Burrito
    Tessa K.

    This place is amazing! Fabulous staff, and yummmmmmy food. The burritos are soooooo good. The tortilla shells are clearly homemade and taste incredible. Skip the tacos and get a burrito. They also have great salsa and queso. My kiddos love the queso. Great place all around that I will now frequent.

    Wako Taco: My Grandma Might Be Offended, But She'll Understand I never give perfect reviews. Even my grandma's cooking gets a 9.5 just to keep her humble. But Wako Taco? It's a 10 out of 10 no joke!, just wow. We came in for breakfast, and from the first bite, I felt like I was back in my grandma's kitchen... if her kitchen had a designer's touch and a brunch menu that could win awards. I had the huevos rancheros with egg whites, and let me tell you, even with the healthy twist, the flavors were rich, bold, and so authentically Mexican it made me want to call my tia choocha and brag. My husband had the chilaquiles, and I didn't get more than one bite before he protected his plate like it was his last meal. That's how you know it's good. And then there was the French toast.. we split it for "dessert" (because that's a thing now), and it was pure, cinnamon-kissed, crispy-edged happiness. The vibe? Elevated but warm. Classy without being pretentious. This place knows who it is, and it's not trying too hard--it's just that good. Wako Taco didn't just impress me it rewrote my breakfast standards. Can't wait to come back for lunch and start a new love story with the tacos. Sorry, Grandma

    Very delicious.

    I had 3 tacos asada and a flan. Delicious. The salsa with the pre-meal chips was especially good. Toppings were available for the flan but I declined. If I come back to Waco, I want to eat here again; after having their lunch I would like to try breakfast; they're open 6-9 most days.

    Plastic found in Birria Tacos

    After visiting many times before I've never had any issues, but today I found three pieces of plastic, maybe from a grill brush, in my birria tacos. This is extremely concerning and a food hazard.

    I had the Baylor Taco plate. Homemade tortillas. Great Tacos!! Sirloin tacos with Cilantro and onions.

    Birria Taco Plate

    A little pricey but everything was exceptional so no complaints! The food was delicious, I got birria tacos. The service was as prompt as could be during lunch rush. The ambiance was cute, local taco restaurant with inside and outside seating. Definitely a return spot for when I'm in the area!

    Ordered takeout birria taco plates. The tacos and consommé were very tasty but overly salty. Otherwise the flavor was amazing.

    We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

    The food is very good. The service is outstanding. The chips…read moreare not good. There's so much seasoning on them that you don't get to appreciate the salsa because the chips are overpowering.. A restaurant with this type of quality needs to have chips that are made in house without anything other than salt.

    Fun place - and sour cream chicken enchiladas are to die for!!…read more Decor : Absolutely a nice and clean TexMex environment. Charming spaces and tables are not too close together. Music is softly playing in the background. The bar is large with three TVs. Very warm and inviting. Score: 10 out of 10 Chips: Chips are medium thickness, unsalted, very nice. Score: 7.5 out of 10 Salsa: Salsa has a beautiful traditional tomato based flavor medium on the spicing and low heat - flavorful. Score: 9 out of 10 Chicken Quesadilla w/ onions & peppers: Skip this one. The chicken is absolutely bone dry, tough, and overcooked. The peppers and onions are beautifully sautéed al dente and the cheese veg and meat ratios are proportional. Score: 2 out of 10 Guacamole: Very nice, but had bit of saltiness to the point I could not enjoy it. (Note: I also don't use much salt myself, so the average person may not even notice it.) Score: 2 out of 10 Beef Enchilada with chili con Carne sauce: Good portion. Meat is moist, not greasy, but also not seasoned very much. The chili carne sauce was nice but had a bit of sweetness (possibly sugar added). Was enjoyable, but not outstanding. Score: 7 out of 10 Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada: Amazing! Outstanding! Absolutely get some! The chicken is extremely moist, absolutely perfect seasoning with just a gentle hint of heat. The sauce has a beautiful tang from the sour cream and the correct consistency. Good portion. Can't wait to come back and have them again. Score: 10 out of 10 Server (CiCi) Absolutely wonderful. Very attentive refresh my drink without me asking for it and very courteous. Score: 10 out of 10 Overall Score: 7.5 But for the guacamole and quesadilla issues, score would be 9 out of 10. DEFINITELY go for the Sour Cream Enchiladas!!!! I'll be back for those!

You go in and pretty much grab a table unless there's a line with people waiting. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Typical mom and pop type interior with a mixture of booth seating and tables with metal chairs. It's always clean. Branch out and try something new. Highly recommend.
