We stopped in for tacos today to try this foos truck. We were pleasantly surprised at the menu choices. We enjoyed 3 different tacos as well as a poblano plate. It's worth the drive. And you know it's good when there is a constant stream of cars pulling in. And they have Mexican Coke! read more

Needed a quick meal for lunch because Braum's didn't begin serving lunch until 10:30a.m. I ordered the taco dorados meal for $8.00, which was decent. The beans and rice was AWESOME!!! Light and fluffy rice and the beans were creamy and flavorful. The taco roll-up were chicken...crispy but not much flavor. But the customer service, location and beans and rice gave this meal the 4 stars. read more

I was a regular here for quite some time., but I made myself stop. I love the flavor of barbacoa so that's what I order. Unfortunately it seems every single taco I get from them has a huge chunk of fat; almost half a taco worth. I got tired of this and have been trying to find someplace equivalent since. Their Verde sauce is some of the best I've ever tasted and always asked for extra. I told them if they jarred it I would buy it. Their horchata is a bit hit and miss. You definitely want to get there early or they start watering it down. Get there before that and it's fantastic! I wish they served elote. That might have been enough to keep me coming there (if it was good), but they don't so it's a moot point. The rice is always good but the beans can be hit and miss. A few times is been runny and/or very salty. I'll try again in a few months to see if they've fixed the fat chunck issue. If not there are other options in the area read more

Have I said how much I love having food trucks in Watauga Texas? This taco gem recently made its way to my fine city, and they are throwing down some serious food that tastes just like I remember tacos in Baja tasting. Their Al Pastor is spot on, and Sopes are just like my friends used to make. Their Horchata is made fresh in house, and not from a package. Lighter on the rice side, and more on the cinnamon - A-Maz-Ing. They have several great salsa options and temps, and the staff is super friendly. Seriously, go get your Gordito Chon on Ya'll. read more

Horrible service! Asked for gorditas and got tacos. Went back up there with the tacos and the guy would not exchange them. I was even willing to pay the difference. Horrible customer service, rude, and will not be back! My mistake for the one time of not checking my order before I left. But clearly it would've never made a difference because the guy was just arguring that I asked for tacos which I didn't. I know what I said and this could've been easily resolved.

Place is easy to find. Taco truck outside a Valero gas station. Good service. Received tacos in a reasonable amount of time. Asada, Al Pastor, and Carnitas were good. Seasoning and texture was good. The carnitas had a slight crunch, n i'm all about that. The lengua meat was mushy as fuck tho. Shit look like a flat tire. Tortillas were descent. One or two were colder than my heart on Valentines day. Green sauce was weaker than my knees on a cold day. The habanero sauce is good asf. I had much better for the price but i left satisfied with my meal. Maybe top 3 in the 2 mile radius. IG: @__thetacochief__ read more

I usually go here as an alternate to Taco Chon (closed on Mondays) and have had no bad experiences until today. To give you an idea of the after effects of eating here all you need to know is that I'm writing this review from my toilet seat. Not only that but Gordito Chon messed up my order (probably because I'm just a Gringo) so in effect I'd like to say they're either racist and intentionally poisoned me or their food is just bad.

Alright fine!! Twist my arm I'll give this place 5 stars. I almost didn't want to eat here with the fear of being disappointed and then I would have to be the one to give it 4. Luckily I only ordered a variety of tacos. Service was great first of all so quick and nice. Make sure you specify which salsa you want. I highly recommend the spiciest one. I won't go into detail with the meats other than emphasizing that all are well seasoned perfectly cooked and full of flavor. All the tacos were small double tortillas and they were fat with meat. These are your traditional tacos nothing fancy with the toppings they just have the raw onions and cilantro. So All others I my area have just been moved down on the ladder these are the best so far in my proximity. Also I just want to put it out there in the universe.. wouldn't it be nice if we could just call them and they would just show up and whip up some tacos in my driveway and then leave?? read more

The asada tacos are delicious. The salsas are also very good. Will definitely eat again. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that each taco is $1.75. Now this isn't a horrible price, I just wish they offered a type of discount or special if you are ordering 20 or more tacos. A party option would be nice.

Some of the best tacos and tortas in the area! Located on the corner of 377 and Watauga road. The food is fresh, the salsitas are full of flavor and delicious. We visited for the first time when they were open on Sundays. We were hesitant to order because Mexican food in the area misses the mark by a LOT. The owner was so confident in his tacos that he allowed us to try the carne asada before ordering. Not only did that make a huge impression on us, the flavor was DELICIOUS and it wasn't greasy. We come here when we have a hunger for tacos. Don't forget your horchata or your mexican coke! read more

But boy, did they walk into a situation that really required 2 to 3 food trucks, and they were the only one... The line was long and the wait was longer, but I can't really fault them for that. Witherspoon had a bigger than expected crowd that evening, with some live music and a couple of events (including a Match.com event - that made for some fun people watching). Apparently BMB was told earlier that day that a large crowd could materialize, so they didn't really have time to buy extra food or prep much. But they kept smiling and were nice about it, and everyone went with the flow and it was fine. By the time we finally got our food (made to order for sure - took a while), we were starving. I got the burger (the brisket on a biscuit had run out) and my wife got the special (which I'm blanking on). Both were very tasty. The burger was maybe just a *tad* overdone and the patty wasn't big, but serving it on a biscuit-style bun with some yummy sauce made for a good, hefty sammich. With a side of fries that we shared - which were excellent - it was plenty of food. Value was pretty good, too, particularly for a food truck. I don't think I'd go as far as calling it gourmet like some people have, but it was good and were satisfied. I'd totally order food from the BMB truck again. Oh, and it wasn't exactly a truck - it's actually a really nice trailer. :) (See the pic someone posted.)

During our friendly conversation, Joe let us know this was a recipe made by him that he's honed over the years. Admittedly, when I think of Cajun flavors and/or cuisine, my immediate thought never thinks burger. So, I was skeptical. After one bite, though, I was a complete convert. A definite must-try! No complaints about the Catfish Po'boy. The sauce, seasoning, and spice level was on point. It was also served with a homemade tartar sauce that was tasty. As good as everything was, the Spicy Wings were the stand-out IMO. These wings are less - wait, nothing - like standard Buffalo Wings. They were more in the realm/world of an expertly piece of Southern Fried Chicken. To begin with, it was an ENTIRE wing - basically the size of your hand or the equivalent to about 9 wings. The entire tip, flat, and drum are fried intact, yielding a super crispy bite here, a juicy succulent flat there, finished off with a meaty, few bites of a drum. Nothing burnt, dry, or overcooked. Again, the meat was so moist, the crunch so satisfying, and the seasoning/flavor - beyond. I have to touch on the fact that the owner/chef seriously came across happy to be cooking for us in the midst of 100+ weather. The service wasn't over-the-top or gimmicky in the least. All of us thought and felt this person/food truck team was simply there because they genuinely wanted to be. Simply put - both the food and staff left us feeling good. :-) I'm only sorry I didn't try their red beans and rice or a couple of other menu items that weren't available at my particular time of visit. No worries though, because I'll definitely back.

I struggled today and went with the Chicken enchiladas topped with green tomatillo sauce and Sour cream sauce. Delicious! My sister ordered her fave, 2 soft ground beef tacos. Tex Mex at its finest!

I was in the area and saw a new taco place (used to be a fried chicken place) and decided to try…read moreit. It was really more like 3-stars, but added one simply going it's because they haven't been there long and the lady working there was very polite and sweet. I got 4 tacos (barbacoa, pollo, asada, and pastor) for a variety. The meat tasted fine, but the real complaint is portion size for the hot sauce and the tortilla itself. The hot sauce was ok, but not exceptional. The red is the spicy one and the green is more mild. The green is super thick for some reason and tbh couldn't really taste it while on my taco and each of the containers only had about how much hot sauce would normally put on each taco, but for 4 tacos, I got 2 hot sauce (luckily asked for an extra red because I prefer spicy, so had a third container) Also the tortilla, had a complaint. Based on the texture and flavor they taste like homemade, though mine tasted like made yesterday. It still had a good flavor BUT, the tortilla was falling apart on me making it really difficult to eat, especially the barbacoa one. I might come back and might not, just depends on if in the area, but nothing really exceptional imo.... And looking at the menu, saw the Texas burrito. It listed mayo as an ingredient which to me sounds very odd for a burrito, but that's another thing

This place is a very traditional Mexican style, not your Tex-Mex go to, but still very good. The…read moreauthentic dishes were prepared well. The service was excellent. The dining room is a little cold and sterile, but adequate for our needs. On that particular occasion, they were out of Agua de Jamaica and I had to drink agua de Horchata instead.

When you go to your favorite Mexican food restaurant, you imagine that people really eat these…read morekinds of things in Mexico. Of course, in your heart of hearts, you know that they don't. Vaquero's is what they really eat. These kinds of tortillas can only be made by the old grandmother's in Mexico, who have never been to the US, and never plan on going. These tortillas here are obviously grown in house on a Metate (ok, I had to look that up), And the meats taste like they are marinated for days, in order to taste like this. My favorite is the Alambre Burrito. If you accidentally order something else in addition to the Burrito, you will probably be taking it home. And when you take home your Taco's, don't forget to take the chips with you. The chips are also obviously made in house, and fried in Lard before coming to every table.

Food delicious & great service. Received our food quickly. Large portions. We will be backread more

I grew up in the south side of Fort Worth where there are great tacos up and down Hemphill. We…read moremoved to this area in 2019 and tried this place multiple times hoping we would get tacos similar to the tacos we get from multiple places on Hemphill. It was a disappointment. Fast forward to 2026. My husband and I started noticing an increase in the drive through lines in 2025 and decided to try them earlier this year. We're very happy to say, we no longer have to make the long drive to south side for tacos de asada anymore (except for Sundays, lol). The change in management is obvious. Shout out to the new management, cause the asada tacos are (chefs kiss)! lol Both salsa roja and verde are really good, as well as the grilled onions. We need some grilled serranos! Keep up the great work!
