    Needs salt
    Richard L.

    Mi abuela used to tell me a legend. Over breakfast, she would whisper, "Mijo, one day you will taste a taco where the eggs stand alone, the bacon is proud, and the sausage sings. I once found it in a small town, hidden like a treasure. But one night, a great storm swept through thunder cracking, winds howling, rain blurring the streets and the town vanished. The taco, the recipe, everything was gone. That taco will not just feed you it will change you. This is the story of La Leyenda del Taco Perdido en la Tormenta." I laughed then. But today, at Arturo's Taqueria, the legend was fulfilled. Walk in: tiny spot, a lot of meat options but no eggs. My soul whispered, "¿Por qué, Arturo por qué?" Then BOOM. Eggs, separate in a pan, shining like golden treasure. Bacon, separate in another, crisped like it was kissed by fire. Sausage, also separate, sizzling like it was performing a mariachi solo just for me. I froze. I gasped, followed by an audible "¡Abuela!" My coworker looked at me, confused. And then I whispered, "La Leyenda del Taco Perdido en la Tormenta" the legend is true." I built the masterpiece: egg taco with sausage, bacon, cheese, beans, and added a carne guisada with beans, no cheese. Flour tortillas. Plus a Joe Lemonade because as G.I. Joe taught me, knowing is half the battle, and hydration is the other half. I ran to the truck with tears of excitement. Then tragedy: the carne guisada taco? Flavor ghosted me, vanished like my ex. I nearly hurled it at my coworker and let gravity finish the job. So I cautiously opened the legendary taco would it be real or just a folk tale? Bad start: they forgot my cheese. No manches. My spirit broke. But then I bit into the egg taco. And in that bite "La Leyenda del Taco Perdido en la Tormenta" exploded into life. The sizzle of the pans roared like distant thunder, steam twisted like lightning, and every aroma hit like a gale-force wind. The kitchen itself seemed alive, echoing the storm from the vanished town. This wasn't a taco. This was the taco of legends. The taco that broke the code. The taco that made me want to call my family, sobbing, to tell them abuela wasn't crazy the legend is true. I will return, to worship at the altar of Arturo's Taqueria forever. Breakfast tacos will never, ever, be the same again.

    Happy to fine this taqueria Food was good Service was excellent Ambiance was small and quant.

    Breakfast tacos for the kiddos and chicharon for the wife.

    Food was amazing, tacos de chicharon prensado were really good. And the barbacoa Tacos. Tortillas are delicious, I buy 2 packs to take home with after we finish eating for the week.

    Just ok

    I was really excited to come try this place: A hole in the wall taqueria that isn't really advertised. Came here for lunch to sit down and eat. They had a sign out front saying to please wear a mask, which is fine and per Texas regulation. I went in and first thing I noticed were that of the 5 employees there, 4 were wearing their mask down below their chin, and the one was wearing his mask under his nose. I don't want to get into politics or beliefs here but there is a Texas law right now that restaurant staff must wear masks properly. I don't know the rules about gloves but nobody was wearing any. Also how does the restaurant ask its patrons to wear masks but they themselves don't wear them properly to cover either the mouth or the nose. That being said, I still wanted to try the food so I at least ordered to go. I ordered huevos rancheros and migas ($6.50 and $5.50). For the migas, I was asked regular potatoes or the spicy potatoes. For tortillas, I asked for one with corn and one with flour tortillas which was an additional $1.50 upcharge that I was not told of or could see anywhere obvious. The food itself was not that impressive either. Huevos rancheros were two eggs, old fried potatoes tossed with a tomato salsa, and refried beans. Migas were all mixed in with the refried beans. The refried beans and tortillas were actually pretty good, though I don't believe the tortillas were made in house, despite it being a taqueria. The rest was subpar. Only thinking of the food and value, I would say 2 stars for the huevos rancheros and migas. For following regulation would be 0 stars. Overall experience: 1 star.

    Authentic, delicious, and great service! Family owned and run. Great casual ambiance and the Gordita is the best here!!

    Update 7/8/2019 I've now eaten here a couple times on separate trips. This probably my favorite street taco of anywhere that I've eaten. The freshness, taste and cost are unbeatable. This is a hole in the wall, hidden gem.

Our server, Freddy, got the order in perfectly, even though there were 7 of us. The prices were reasonable. The food again was spot on. We WILL return! BTW, the watermelon margarita was wonderful!

TLDR: Thar food, those ritas. This place has become my most recent go-to when that little voice says - "pssst....Dave....Dave....i know you hear me....you want fajitas." Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!

The horchata stood out right away, perfectly sweet and easily one of the best I've found in the city. I ordered the chorizo breakfast tacos, which were solid, and the huevos ahogados with frijoles charros, both full of flavor and well-prepared. The empanadas were also great, especially the chicken and cheese, that one was my favorite. To finish, I tried the pan de elote, and it was excellent.

All of our items were fresh and delicious! I was enchanted by the atmosphere and presence of the owner and her family. We have already been back for a different special on this week's menu! We especially love the creamy poblano corn empanadas. We fought over one last time, but this time we each got our own. The waitstaff we have had both times is very sweet, but does not speak or understand English very well and was unable to really help us decide this second time, so we just took her recommendation. One of the items she recommended, the Huarachon, was not my favorite, but the other items were very good. We would have especially enjoyed some interaction with the chef-owner or the gentleman who seems to be her husband, since it did not seem very busy at the time, but they simply said "hello". Hopefully next time! And there will be a next time!
