    Took my daughter for taco and she rated them a 4/5. Service was pretty quick for the amount of people inside. Went around 3 on Saturday so it was busy. We didn't like our drinks but that's ok. The tacos were very good and have a great amount of meat on each. I also liked the salsa bar with the different spice levels.

    We met up with my cousin here after seeing all the rave reviews -- and wow, everyone was right. We rolled in around 7:40pm on a Sunday and the place was packed. It's first-come, first-serve, so we scoped out a table and only waited about 10 minutes. Not bad for a busy night. We ordered two taco plates: one carnitas, one bistec. Both were absolutely killer -- solid 5/5. I also appreciate that they use grilled onions instead of the raw, tear-inducing kind. Bless them for that. We added rice and charro beans on the side, and those were tasty too -- an easy 4/5. Bottom line: delicious food, great vibe, and we're already planning our next visit!

    Listen! When I say these tacos hit the spot, I MEAN IT ! Out of all my taco-eating adventures in the DFW metroplex, no one has seasoned and perfected an entire taco plate like this spot. The onions? Grilled and seasoned just right--not hard, not mushy, not half-done. Perfect texture and flavor. The meat? Downright delicious--juicy, tender, flavorful, and in generous portions that had me savoring every bite. And let's talk about the drinks! They let me remix the fresh watermelon agua fresca with lemonade (at no extra charge, unlike some other local spots ). The result? Absolute perfection--refreshing, balanced, and the perfect sidekick to my tacos. Honestly, when your food is this good, there's no need to nickel-and-dime customers--the flavors speak for themselves. The best part? I've already been back for round two before even posting this review. So yeah... you know it's real.

    Absolutely delicious, staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs , you come you order and you eat , you also pick up your food , self serve salsa station, you clean up after yourself. They have tacos special 10 tacos for $23.99 I believe , and 20 for $46 something like that lol they also have delicious tortas , chilaquiles , menudo on the weekends and don't forget they have cold beer, also aguas frescas like horchata and Jamaica (hibiscus) ! Absolutely enjoyed it .. I'll be back lol Lots of parking , seating can get crowded .. but it's tacos , they don't take long to eat !

    Amazing service and very quick getting our food out! LOVE the pastor tacos!! We came from fort worth and this place does not disappoint! Also love the ambience, so pretty and good music.

    We forgot that Guantaco opened up closer to us so we popped in for a last minute dinner decision. This new space is located near the bowling alley and is pretty spacious with plenty of seating. Staff handles the orders quickly. They kept their signature salsa bar and the variety on their menu. Prices are also reasonable for their dishes with the larger dishes being a bit pricier but still worth the portions. Gorditas tasted just as good as I remembered and were super filling! The chilaquiles was a good size that we had to take the rest to go as well as the 10 taco combo since the tacos were filled too! Love that they opened a location nearby and have kept up with the same quality and pricing as the original location.

    Service was really great and helpful. Decor inside the restaurant is really cool and vibrant. So far I've tried queso Barria and fries is really good, the Al pastor is ok. Their sauce bar is very clean, sauce is so fresh and well made.

    I've heard good reviews about it on IG & read the reviews on Yelp before going to the restaurant. Everyone online said it was super good. We walked in & the atmosphere was chill. They have a big menu we didn't really know what to get so we got tacos & nachos for appetizer. The nachos were 1/10. The cheese wasn't even good. It had a lot of beans & the chips were bland. I got the salsas which they have a lot of options & the salsas were 10/10! Pretty good. The only thing is that they need to work on adding more flavor to their meats. The fajita & chicken didn't have sazón. It didn't taste good. The barbacoa was okay but not great. They need to make sure to cook the tortilla well... it literally tasted like the heated up the tortilla in the microwave, at least add a little bit of oil or heat it up correctly. The taco plate does come with rice & beans together in one container whenever I picked up my food I asked the lady if she could put them separately & she kindly did. I ended up trying the chocoflan which was 10/10 tbh, it better be for almost being $7 a slice. Overall, they hype this place too much I don't think I would come back to try something different.

    Can you say super fresh!!

    Ok so had time to stop by for breakfast. I was going to have some breakfast tacos,,, but I asked Do you have Huevos Rancheros?? And they said YES!!! So two eggs over easy, potatoes, beans and two pieces of bacon,,, yum Sorry ate it, no pictures And bottle of coke. Give it a try

    Very good taco spot!! Love the atmosphere. Affordable cost. Got Elotes ( corn in a cup ) and also the ceviche sooo yummy! I also got a strawberry Margarita a good size for the price. The employees were very kind and helpful. I will definitely be back.

    Checked out after seeing IG hype, was excited to try but food just wasn't good. The meat quality was poor and everything was super greasy with barely any flavor. The carnitas looked like mush and had no flavor. The birria had an okay flavor but the tortilla was tough from not being cooked entirely . The al pastor was a greasy mess -- poor flavor and didn't look like it came off a trompo. Even the cooked onions tasted old. Got an horchata that didn't even look right in color but wanted to give it a chance and just as it looked- it was super watered down. Cashier was kind, place was clean, but honestly the food is not worth the hype or the money. Restaurant is definitely beautiful and clean but again food is 0/5.

    Taco special

    This place is amazing! You a 4tacos and a drink for $10.00 Tacos are so good! Definitely coming back.

    Moved to Arlington in the last year, and I'm so grateful family members told me this restaurant was…read morehere! They're always so clean, the music isn't too loud and the whole place smells delicious. I was able to order 6lbs of Pollo and 8lbs Bistek on a Thursday after 5pm, for a party on Saturday 1pm. It's so worth the time and it came out very savory and fresh. This place is amazing for takeout or dine in; just be aware that they're rightfully busy! Please have patience with the staff, they're so kind and helpful all the time.

    Found this place on yelp. They had high reviews so I decided to give it a try. Everything was okay…read more Nothing really stood out. The salsa was tasty and spicy. The tacos weren't overly greasy. I got the 5 taco plate with beans and rice it was 15.99 but with tax and tip it came closer to $20 (no drink included). The two meats I got were barbacoa and bistec. The texture of the bistec was chopped very finely (I'm use to bigger pieces). Both meats were soft and "juicy" (I felt like they were watery) they didn't hold much flavor. The tortillas were fairly good. The space is really big and clean, the employees were very nice. I wish I would've liked the tacos more but they just weren't for me! However, they might be for you, so I would still stop by and give them a try! Maybe you will have better luck or pick a better item on the menu! They did have a lot to choose from.
