Dropped into Waco from Houston without a clue where to eat, but Yelp led us to a hidden…read moregem--Taquería Las Tapatías--and it did not disappoint. My brother-in-law and I went for the Steak a La Mexicana (flavorful, and cooked just right), my niece had the Camarones Veracruzana (light and full of flavor), and my sister tried the Plato Jalisco. I never finish the rice and beans on my plate. But theirs? I cleaned it up. Even the charro beans got a shoutout from my sister. Only downside? No margaritas--no alcohol here. But honestly, the food makes up for it. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Really great food! I got the mini tacos plate with half fajita and Al pastor. Corn tortillas were…read moretoasted nicely and didn't break. Onions, limes were such good quality themselves. Fajita was a really good classic execution. Just really clean good flavors. Al pastor knocked it out of the park for me. Really moist, a lot of seasoning that most Al pastor don't have. Charro beans that came with it was great as well. Would want to come back to try their other dishes!

The Mexican corn was delicious. My fiancé got the Redfish and forced himself to eat as we were both just so starving. Both his sides were flavorless the long rice and cabbage.. I will add Jordan was our waitress and she was amazing! Very attentive and friendly. Notified her of our review of the food and she was very understanding and apologetic. Unfortunately we won't be back but wouldn't consider this anywhere near a Mexican style restaurant.

We were seated right away at a table for 6 though we only had two people. I know why they were voted best for chips and salsa.. the chips are super thin and crunchy and that red sauce was deep red and flavorful. I absolutely love flautas and boy these were thee biggest flautas I have ever had. Definitely get the chimichurri rice and the pinto beans (the ones with the sauce and bacon) The hubs got tacos and comes out on a taco stand! We're grateful that he was able to get it without all the cheese and sour cream (a huge plus for Jorge's!) This place is good for those with dairy intolerance! We filled up in the chips and salsa too much to enjoy dessert. That's ok, we'll them up for that next time we're passing through.

The ladies are very nice and always get the food out quickly. The breakfast tacos are great, and I do think the fajita tacos and quesadilla are pretty delicious as well. Their red and green salsas are the bomb!

We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

When I think of special at restaurants it's a hit or miss. They make a big batch and sometimes it's old and doesn't taste the best but I was optimistic because my sister said this place was authentic Mexican food. So I got my plate to-go and I got home and opened it and the aroma of the onions, tomatoes, jalapeños and carnitas slapped me in my face and I was ready to dig in. The portion was a pretty good size! The carnitas were packed with flavor and were tender but also had a few of those sorta kinda crunchy pieces rice and beans were amazing and both of the salads I got were so good as well. I honestly do not have anything bad to say. From the service I got to the food I ate it was great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will definitely come back again.

My cousin orders the shrimp ranchero religiously. Swears by it. It looked really good too. I had the shrimp stuffed avocado. It was really nice. I was only a bit put off by the avocado being warm - didn't expect that - but the shrimp flavor was so good I got over it quick! The beans - soooo good! Thick, creamy, cheesy, perfect! It was so good Inforgot to take a picture of it.! Chicken tortilla soup is fully loaded, no short cuts! The nacho chips aren't my fave. Too cornmeal ish and thick. Not like fresh cooked ones. They could step their game up in this area. But with the bean dip being so good, the chips fade to background. They have a full bar and a big selection of margaritas. I have to say my cucumber margarita was ok. Not as tangy as I hoped it would be. But maybe the premier would hit the spot. The staff were very friendly. (Must admit, with all the anti-Cali immigrant hateration going around, I was very surprised to find it harder to communicate with the wait staff here than I ever have had in Cali, but I digress.) There are highly competent English speaking staff available to assist when needed. I had a great meal here, wonderful staff, tasty food, and all at really reasonable prices. So now I have another place to eat at when I'm visiting Mexia.

The beef fajitas were great and I liked the beans and rice as well. The queso was decent as well. My wife liked the rice and beans and she is pretty particular in that area so that was good. I didn't get a pic of the food as I was famished and it smelled so good I ended up digging right in. We will be back again when in the area and I will get a shot then. I did get a shot of my beautiful wife happily eating here though. It is a good place to stop in for a quick bite when on the road.
