    Bistec tacos

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Loved the ambience

    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.

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

    (((Taquería Tepeque ))) en McAllen, TX…read more Pasé por aquí porque un amigo me recomendó la SÚPER QUESADILLA ... y no me decepcionó para nada!! La tortillas son hechas a mano, bien suavecitas, pero doradita como le gustan a Miguelito! Justo como las que comía en Tacos El Poblano en Compton. Me trajo recuerdos con la primera mordida. También le ponen limón, cilantro, cebolla picada, y dos salsas, una verde y una roja, y las dos tienen buen sabor. Se nota que todo es fresco y bien preparado. No es un lugar elegante ni nada, pero la comida está . Si estás buscando una quesadilla con sabor de verdad, esta es la indicada. Sin duda regreso! (((Taqueria Tepeque ))) in McAllen, TX I randomly stopped by this spot after hearing a friend mention the super quesadilla, and wow. Totally lived up to the hype. The tortillas are handmade and remind me of the ones I used to get at Tacos El Poblano in Compton. That first bite took me back. Everything's fresh, you get lime ‍ green/red salsa, onion, and cilantro on the side. The flavors are bold, and they don't hold back with portions either. It's not a fancy place, but the food speaks for itself. If you're craving a bomb quesadilla, this is the place. Definitely coming back! ( no gatekeeping here). Remember to enjoy your meal with someone you love .

    Food is amazing. The carnitas on the weekend are the best, but get there early, they run out fast!!read more
