Taco Container is a total gem! Deliciously unique flavors and a vibrant, family-friendly vibe. It's fresh, creative, and a must-visit. been there so far 3 times. mango margaritas or micheladas are really good too. read more

The evening was perfect patio weather! So, an outdoor eatery was chosen, and the Taco joint provided the perfect environment. The food was all very well seasoned and cooked. The quality and quantity matched the cost. Service was friendly, and after your order is placed, it will be brought to your table along with any other request made. Although if you were to compare to other taquierias, you'd think they were pricey. In our case, we couldn't be upset with the perfect weather, great customer service, and the available photos ops. I'm happy to go back and try more food off the menu on my next trip down south! **They do not sell alcohol nor is it byob** read more

Their tacos are very good, the atmosphere is what brought me to this place. Very nice! And the service is good

Five stars the burger is really really good 10 out of 10 burger I had in a while if your craving a burger this is the spot

I would call this place a little hole in the wall more like a hidden gem. The food was amazing. I had the chicken tacos and my daughter had the bistec tacos. Both tacos were very good. They give you 5 small street tacos with either grilled or raw onions, cilantro and of wedges of lime. It also comes with a cup of charro beans. I must say I've had my fair share of beans but the ones at this place is by far the best. To quench my thirst I had a mango lemonade - very refreshing. The service was great. They don't have an indoor dining place since the entire restaurant is made out of actual containers but they do have a quaint outdoor dining area. If you are ever in McAllen, I highly recommend this place for good street tacos! read more

Good fresh food and amazing lemonades! I love the burritos. Such a cute place to dine outside!

This is a cute little spot to enjoy outdoor dining. I came on a Tuesday night. There were plenty of other groups eating, and they had several to-go orders for pickup. The food is pretty good. We ordered the tacos al pastor and tacos pollo. The orders come in a set of 5 tacos for $9. They also come with grilled pineapple slices and two sauces. Flavors were alright, nothing outstanding, but still tasty. To drink, we ordered the cucumber lemonade and the strawberry lemonade. Both were great. It was very easy to place my order. You can pay with cash or card. I will say though, it takes quite a while to get your food and drinks. We waited for about 15 minutes before receiving just one of our drinks. And then another 15 minutes to receive the second drink and our tacos. Overall, this is a nice spot if you want to eat in a pretty outdoor venue. Probably not your best option if you are in a rush to eat. read more

Let me just start off by saying that this is one of the coolest taco spots I've been to. The neon lights, restaurant built out of a storage container... awesome. All outdoor seating, didn't have much trouble with flies or bugs as I sometimes do at certain trucks, overall just a really pleasant experience. The food took a while, maybe 20 minutes to come out which is a long time by taco standards. I got tacos pollo and al pastor, which came with piña and two different salsas. I usually don't get chicken tacos but regardless these were preeetty salty. The pastor was better. I tried a cucumber lemonade and my girlfriend got a strawberry lemonade which were both great. I'd come back again and try a different dish and maybe their shakes. read more

Terrible service, they had a full staff and approximately 4-5 tables and we waited about an hour and 15 mins and still claimed our order was almost ready. We decided to leave and they took even longer to give us our return. Literally no one was there. We heard of this before and were trying to give the benefit the doubt. Unfortunately it's true, management needs to do better. read more

I honestly can't find a negative thing to write about this location. There's a few negative reviews on here but...it's about my experience right? First things first... practically all the seating is outdoors. I loved the ambience of the place...there's different types of chairs/benches to sit on. Whether you're on a date, with your family, or flying solo, they have a spot for you. Some people have complained about the wait...we went when no one was there and the food came out within 10 mins so no complaints. We ordered the basics...tacos and tostadas; the menu is fairly simple. We started off with their charro beans... delicious! The beans were flavorful and the perfect start to whet the appetite. The tacos came next and I don't know about the local food trucks down the street, but save your gas. If you read that maybe chicken tacos take longer to cook...maybe order something besides chicken tacos...just a thought? Not to mention their bistec tacos are well worth it! The tacos LOOKED appetizing and tasted just how they looked... amazing. They provided us with 3 different salsas...the perfect complements to the tacos. They also have aguas frescas....I ordered the cucumber mint and it was refreshing with just the right amount of sweet mintiness. I high recommend it.... Our service was also good...you place the order inside and they bring you the order wherever you sit outside. Only possible downside to this place is it's outside...so it'll be affected by the weather, so go when it's a beautiful night with your loved one and you'll enjoy the perfect tacos with them like I did. read more

Let me first of all start by saying that the food here is pretty decent, but the customer service and staff here could use a significant improvement. My GF and I did a call ahead order for 2 bistec tacos since the lady on the phone mentioned that the chicken tacos would be a 30-minute wait, while the bistec tacos would be ready in 5 minutes. Around 15 minutes later, we parked at the parking lot and gave Container Taco Factory another call. Be warned that parking is pretty limited here and fills up quickly. The same lady answered the phone and mentioned that she was getting our order ready. I didn't mind because I understand that during pandemic times, it takes longer to get orders ready. However, over 30 minutes go by and we see other people getting their call ahead orders and they arrived much later than us. We went inside to talk with the staff and see what happened to our order. The staff mentioned that they would bring out our order soon. Another 10 minutes go by and then we finally get our order. Something that bothered me about the staff here is that they did not apologize for the delay or even provide a reason for the delay. This is probably some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced and I will probably never come back here because of that. In regards to the food, the bistec tacos were small and flavorful. The bistec was juicy and seasoned very well. They were a pretty good value for the price and quantity that you get. Overall, if you're getting take out and have a lot of time on your hands, then this is the place to go. However, there are better taco places around that have more kind and caring customer service. read more

The food was so good, they did not have any cheese cake but that was ok. We had more than enough for dinner!! The service is always great! We had our order to go although we have eaten dinner there before. read more

Was really looking forward to this because of the reviews but after receiving it, I'm thinking of ordering tacos from the taco truck down the street. This was a huge let down. I'm making a mental note to never go back or order from here again read more

So great! A perfect place to pick up a Family feel good meal!!! Like a family meal, movie and or games! Delivery is on time and very good and received perfect meals and all condiments Thanks guys!!!!!! read more

We were on our way back to our airbanb and saw this place and decided to stop. the tacos were great service was nice. We're from Oregon where we have a lot of great food and taco trucks. I'd put container taco factory right up there with them. read more

Good food, good ambiance. There were quite a bit of flies once the food arrived, but it's all outside seating...you can't expect no critters. Food was really good, and service was very friendly. They have specialty drinks, and their mango-chamoy concoction was tasty and fresh, especially with valley heat! read more

Tacos were great, we got the Taquisa, it's a big tray full of tacos. We also got a papa, tacos al pastor and the alambres. Everything was very good, we really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend!!! read more

We decided to try this place tonight and the bistek tacos and beans are awesome! The tacos are perfect size. The meat is tender and not fatty! You have to try this place! The hot salsa and jalapeño are so good and hot! read more

I've only been here once. But, the tacos I ordered were really good. I like the outdoor seating area as well. Just browsing through the menu makes it a place that I want to come back to and try more of their tacos. read more

Tacos Matamoros were great. Hard to find a table to sit and eat and there is limited parking available.

What great taco place!! Im a huge fan of tacos and me and my wife found this gem while driving around. My wife is very picky with chicken tacos and she fell in love with these. I had the bistec tacos with a papa on the side and was so delicious that we are already looking forward to our next visit. read more

This is a really great spot. The food is sooooo good! We will be coming back again for sure. Especially when the weather gets cooler.

Overrated. Let's start with the positive. It's a cool location. Honestly nice environment. The flavor of the food is good, but it is definitely Americanized. The salsa tastes good but is not hot at all. It was a bit hipster actually. I had two major issues with this place, the first and perhaps the biggest offense is simply that the portion size was small compared to other places and we had to order more food than we normally would for our family. The boys in our group all finished their food and were hungry for more. Also, the service was lacking. We asked for more tostadas to go with the baked potatoes and the waitress said they only came with one tostada. We asked if we could have more, she said no. We asked if we could buy more, she said no. Later when the owner came around asking about things we told her this and she apologized and told us that she would have happily given us more if she had known. I just was left unimpressed. I won't go out of my way to go here. read more

I ordered for take out due to a time crunch. We got there before they officially opened and they were ready to serve us without a question. The food was great! I'd definitely love to go back sometime to enjoy the atmosphere. Cute place!! read more

I'm not too sure where to begin. This place is considered fast food and is by no means a gourmet restaurant. The atmosphere is charming but where I draw the line is waiting 45 minutes for chicken tacos. I visited during the week and there were hardly any customers. It takes less time to cook at home. Disappointed. The food is mediocre at best. Never again. read more

Not sure this place even deserves one star but gave one because ice was cold. So was the food. Waited 40 mins to be served cold tacos with little to no taste. Charming setting and decor but awful service and not so good food. read more

I love it here after having a horrible day with another restaurant. They made it10 times better. Its a chill and friendly environment. I would totally come back here. Even making it my new favorite taco spot read more

Tried for the first time ... called in the order to be picked up, didn't have to wait a long time at all. Tacos were delicious! Not greasy, beans were excellent, hot sauce not too spicy which was perfect! We will definitely get again in the future. read more
