Menus, salsa, and tortilla chips.
Liam R.

Great food the chicken tortilla soup will take a little, but it's worth the wait. The service was wonderful as the staff treated my party with respect. The ambiance was very relaxing it made me feel at home.

Majel, Jamie, Emanuel (owner) Scarlett, Clayton.  Thank you for having us!  Love, former Betos crew

Worst Mexican food I've ever had and I'm not a picky person lol the meat tasted sour everyone…read moreagreed that it was probably bad..food isn't fresh at all just terrible! My enchiladas had no sauce they were so dry. They put a little picante on top like the stuff you get at the grocery store with some weird tasting tangy sauce pretty sure the sauce was old also. The entire time I was saying to myself "I hope I don't get food poisoning" don't eat here. Also the service is slowwwwww

Really did not have a great experience here. First of all, the restaurant was hot and kind of dirty…read more(as in lots of dirty dishes throughout the restaurant). There seemed to be one single employee running the place, while also caring for her children. And yes, there were children running around, one of which was scooting around the restaurant barefoot on a scooter, yelling, climbing on furniture, etc. It took a while for drinks and food to arrive since, again, there was one single waitress - and although she was very nice, she seemed absolutely overworked and probably could have used at least one other person to help. All of this could have been forgiven, however, if the food had been any good at all. For one thing, they were sold out of several things we asked for. We ended up ordering the fajitas (chicken, beef, and shrimp), and they were just awful. The meat was dry and oversalted and the shrimp was completely inedible and stuck to the shell. The guacamole was that weird squeeze bag stuff and the pico seemed old, like the kind you get at the grocery store that sits in a container and has zero flavor. I'm only giving the restaurant two stars instead of one because the salsa was pretty good. The green was definitely better, but they were both pretty good. Like I said, I am pretty easy to please and most of the issues could have been forgiven. The kids don't bother me, I don't mind waiting a bit, I understand that restaurants can be understaffed at times. However, I just can't forgive the pretty clear lack of effort behind the food.

(From May, 2024)…read more Whoever put this on YELP, shoutout to them for making it easy to find this spot. I found this on a Tuesday in the middle of May as I had an assignment in the Cleveland/Sheppard area of Texas. Many of you know that Taco Tuesdays are my thing. Finding taco spots in small towns are a challenge but fortunately this truck was available across from the gas station on 23 County Road. It's your standard taco truck serving tortas, tostados, burritos, gorditas, quesadillas, sopes, burgers & hot dogs. About 8 protein options are available, cash only (or Zelle/cash app), and mainly en espanol (although they speak some english). I did an order of tacos (Fajita, Barbacoa, Lengua, Buche), a chicharron gordita, and some quesadillas (regular sized tripa; small barbabcoa). They also give you a complimentary charo beans that you can eat while you wait. The beans smell amazing that are piping hot with some meat drippings mixed in. Good way to start the meal. Upon receiving your food, you can either eat at their picnic tables or take it to go. I brought it back to my hotel room and unpacked; fortunately everything kept well with no spillage or messings like some places. The tacos are good size with the lengua and fajita being my favorite. The buche is a unique protein, basically pig's stomach so there's a chewy texture so may not be for everyone; I'm glad I tried it. The gordita was excellent; very filling with meat, beans, and cheese packed in; loved every bite of it. The quesadillas are also delicious with the tripa being crunchy and barbacoa being tender and succulent. Every item was straight up fire from here. If you find yourself in Cleveland, be sure to stop at this truck and check it out. Hours are 5-11PM Monday-Friday. And don't forget cash!

La comida es muy deliciosa. Recomiendo las quesa birrias todo está súper delicioso y el servicio…read morede lo mejor
