    Really great spot, it's pretty tiny, and whenever we go every table is full. Th service is really friendly. I get a potato, egg, and cheese taco, of which they have a good version. Then the rajas con queso taco is phenomenal. The cheese is like you would find at an Indian restaurant as paneer. Super delicious. My husband always loves the tacos he gets. It's an easy to miss spot, but totally worth looking for!

    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.

    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.

    The tip you leave for the workers doesn't get to them; it gets stolen, and the workers are treated badly.

    I visited here during happy hour one day. I'd previously visited one of their other locations…read moreseveral years ago since I heard they had really great cheese enchiladas. On this visit I just wanted a drink and a small bite though. Upon walking in, the restaurant was nearly full and bustling. I spotted some seats over at the bar area in the back right so I sat there. There are happy hour specials ending at 6pm weekdays but the bartender told me about the daily specials and how the Natalitas margarita was stronger than the happy hour one for about the same price, so I chose that one. I ordered the large for $10.25 which comes in an 18 oz large glass. After looking at the menu, I settled on one of my typical orders at happy hour, the small (8 in) beef fajita quesadilla. This comes out after about 10 mins and it has the typical sour cream and guacamole on the sides. There is plenty there to be placed on all 8 of the quesadillas. This is a pretty standard tasting quesadilla, nothing really stood out about it. Same goes for the margarita. Keep in mind this is a discounted drink and made with pre-mixed sweet and sour from a large plastic bucket at the back of the bar area using a house tequila and a house orange liquor. I couldn't read the labels on either bottle since they turned them backward during my entire visit. Not sure if they do this on purpose or not. Either way, there are better quality margarita options obviously, using fresh juice they store in their refrigerator and a margarita that is actually shaken. The discounted ones are so discounted, they actually just pour the ingredients into an ice filled glass and ask you to stir it yourself when they place it in front of you. Either way, it is a convenient location and the prices of their entrees are reasonable compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. I don't think I saw any dish above 18.99. Mondays look to be a good day to come for their Patron margarita special for around $10.99.

The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.
