    Breakfast tacos...
    Ken S.

    Woke up Sunday morning and found this small gem just down the street from where we were staying at. Small places like this are the ones that usually surprise you and this place sure did. Ordered some breakfast tacos and a plate and the food was brought out in a timely manner. Food was good and so was the service. If I'm ever in the area I will not hesitate to eat here again.

    What was in my bean and cheese
    Madi K.

    I threw up this morning eating my bean and cheese taco I ordered i don't know what the hell this is I want an answer? I bought 3 and I threw the other 2 away I was so sick to my stomach

    Chicken Mole Plate with beans & rice .
    JoAnna G.

    Benny's Tacos has great tasty food . This is the only place that I will eat Chicken Mole at besides home . Their chicken is always tender & the Mole sweet just the way I like it . If your in the Walzem Rd area go check them out .

    Getting our Mexican on. I'm having Mole enchiladas for those whom claim I'm vaguebooking. Lol
    Sam H.

    This is a solid three star place. Look it will take a lot to get five stars in this town. We are Mexican food. I had the mole and it was good but too runny. It needs density and this wasn't quite there. I would give this place 4 stars because of the value this place has with $5 lunches galore. Benny's is real good not great. Will be back.

It doesn't come with a side but it does have 3 very filling tacos. It was grilled halibut, pico, romaine lettuce, guacamole and Baja sauce. It was delicious and very flavorful. It needed a spicier sauce but deff would go back for this.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

    This place is a small hole in the wall type place but if you are looking for great Mexican bbq food…read more- look no further. The menu is fairly simple but everything is too notch. The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!

Now listen I enjoy a good mood, but this setting went a little past moody. It was DARK dark. They could definitely bump those lights up about two settings and still keep all the ambiance. lol Thankfully, the food and service needed no adjustments. Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.
