    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I love Ninfa's!…read more Service here is always friendly and upbeat. There's a decent size parking lot in front. I like the plants and Mexican decor. They have a taco salad that is absolutely delicious! Their margaritas are also on point. The Waco restaurant is a little more homey and not quite as luxe feeling as the Houston locations, but it can be solidly relied upon for good, filling Tex-Mex, so I love to stop by when I'm in town.

    Ninfa's was aggressively fine, and honestly, sometimes that's enough…read more I got the smothered burrito with the "spicy" ground beef, and someone else in our group got the chicken quesadilla. Nothing was bad by any means. Portions were pretty large, the chips were fresh, and the free salsa was actually surprisingly spicy in a good way, which I appreciated. It had a little more attitude than I expected. That said, everything else was very generic Mexican restaurant energy. Not bad generic, just very "yep, this is Mexican food near me" generic. It hits when you're with a picky eater and need something safe that everyone can survive, but nothing really felt elevated or memorable. The food came out in about 15 minutes, service was fine, and the place was pretty quiet when we got there before getting busier as we were leaving. My only real side-eye was the payment screen starting the tip options at 25%, which is becoming one of my least favorite modern restaurant jump scares. Overall, it was perfectly fine. Three stars in the most non-hostile way possible. I'm not mad I went, but I'm also probably not planning my next Waco trip around a return visit.

Thought we'd give it a try seeing as it was 10 minutes off I-35. Found the small place and it was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and salsa was super tasty, the half and half tea was on point, and you can't go wrong with a Mexican coke! Ordered the cheese enchiladas plate and the wife got a quesadilla. We were pleasantly satisfied and they hit the spot. Tbh though, the beans and rice won my heart being so flavorful and delicious. The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. All in all, we highly recommend you visit them if you're in the area, we got a table quick around 7 pm and it was a quaint epic time! Try it soon and you won't regret!

    We love this local spot and choose it regularly…read more The barbacoa quesadillas for lunch are incredible. I can really only eat half, so I save the rest for later. Their homemade chips are light and crispy, and their salsa is super flavorful while not overly spicy. It hits that happy medium between my husband and me. Breakfast is also great. 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.
