I personally love pork meat, and I think it pairs really well with this plate. This was also my first time trying their Peach Fruit Tea, and it was really good!

Wako Roll was a real treat. After a long drive, I was tired and wanted something simple and fast…read moreso I could get to my hotel and recover. What I found was a great little sushi joint that had some interesting Asian twists to follow along. When I arrived, the dining area was fairly busy, yet felt comfortable in the modern Asian restaurant style, slightly reminiscent of a Pei-Wei. I admit, I can't do this place justice because I was tired and did not get enough photos of the place. Even though I hate using order yourself kiosk, I can't complain much about the ones at Wako Roll. The system provides you good images of the items you are selecting and easy ways to substitute or add ingredients or modify your order. The menu offers a wide variety of Korean dishes including bibimbap and various varieties of bulgogi, but what caught my eyes were the Wako Roll Tacos. I ordered a Bulgogi Taco and a Spicy Pork Taco, plus a California Roll for good measure. The tacos were larger than I expected and served in a common street taco style, but LOADED with ingredients. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the fresh vegetables added the perfect crunch. What really surprised me was the California Roll, a basic sushi staple at every sushi bar worth its name. The roll was larger than expected, tasted wonderful, was clearly freshly made, and STUFFED with a marinated, shredded crab that was an unexpected treat. For the price, of $7 it was far better than I expected it to be. Traveling through Waco anytime soon? Stop at Wako Roll and try something out. Chances are, you will not be disappointed.

We were the only ones there and she kept coming back every 4mins to bring us things we weren't asking for and interrupting our lunch. She meant well and this is not the reason for the 3 stars, just making it known for others who may experience this. The food was meh. It's hard to mess up sushi and sashimi but this was just not great. I've had better at buffets that offer sushi and that's saying a lot. The hibachi was ok, but nothing I would brag about. Maybe dinner time is better, but I don't think we will be back for lunch. Their ginger dressing is very good though.

Long version: Fresh seafood served with bright citrus and crisp veggies is a recipe for success.

But they were eager to please with what they had and honest about where they were. The Pacifica mixed ceviche bowl was AMAZING. I'm not kidding. Mango, pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, and lime for days. Shrimp & Mahi were perfectly balanced, tender, and tangy. I highly recommend this truck, and I do not like most mobile eateries.

Were they working nonstop trying to take care of hundreds and hundreds of guests all at once? Absolutely. And through all of it, the front of house staff handled the pressure with grace, calm, professionalism, and genuinely selfless hospitality toward every single table. In reading some of the negative reviews, I think it's important to remember that while a few people may have had frustrating moments during one of the busiest weekends of the year, there were also countless guests having wonderful experiences that same evening. Small businesses and restaurants are incredibly difficult industries, especially during high-volume weekends like Baylor graduation, and the people showing up to serve deserve kindness too. Our experience this weekend -- and every experience we've ever had at Diamondback's -- has been exceptional. You can feel how much every staff member cares about every guest who walks through the door, and that care extends all the way to ownership. The owner clearly does not take feedback lightly, and it's obvious she pours her heart into this restaurant and the people dining there. Diamondback's continues to embody true hospitality, and I could not recommend them more. Looking forward to many more memorable evenings dining at this amazing Waco restaurant.

Came here with my sisters expecting a great dining experience and left completely disappointed…read more Hostesses were fake and borderline condescending right from the start. We kept it simple with apps and drinks, and even that was a letdown. The calamari came out lukewarm with zero flavor. Crab cakes were also barely warm (they tasted okay, but still shouldn't be served like that). The worst part was the lobster bisque--bland, lukewarm, and honestly tasted like canned soup with a few pieces of "lobster" thrown in. No flavor at all. We didn't complain, but the manager came over after noticing it wasn't touched and said the chef was "trying something different"... it didn't work. Even a guest next to us overheard and said the quality has gone downhill--she had sent hers back too. The only good thing was the drinks--dirty vodka martinis were solid. Overall, not worth the price. We won't be back.

It's hands down the best I've had at any of their locations I've visited. It was creamy, well-balanced, and the perfect complement to the hearty plate. If you're in Waco and even slightly considering it, just go. This location sets the bar high.
