We really wanted to like Wako Taco, but our experience was just okay. We ordered tacos that were…read moresupposed to come with pico, but they had Baja sauce instead. Unfortunately, the sauce made them super spicy, and we could barely eat them. Since we picked up our order, we didn't realize the mix-up until it was too late to fix it. On the bright side, the guacamole was the best part--super fresh and delicious! Overall, the flavors had potential, but the order mistake really took away from the experience.

The gentleman who runs it and is the Chef makes everything from scratch. I knew it was gonna be…read moregood when I got the Agua Fresca, with mango, it was so fresh and amazing. Also, I got the yucca chips which came with three different sauces. That were just a perfect compliment. Then I had the beef empanada that came with a spiced cheese sauce, refried beans and some amazing rice. Normally when I get stuff like that, I'll just skip the rice and beans... But these were amazing. The rice cooked perfectly it wasn't overcooked or mushy. And the refried beans was smooth yet tasty. Not bland. The empanadas were handmade tortillas that were created and the deep-fried and came on a bed of shredded cabbage, which kept it from getting mushy on the bottom and allowed for the empanada to cool without becoming soggy. And the sauce is the cheese pickled onions on top were just an amazing combination. And then I had gotten the tacos and I thought it was like one taco each, but each taco was like huge. I got a chicken mole taco, and I got al paster pork taco, and finally I got a shrimp taco. Thinking they would be small, but they came on lettuce and we're all amazing and fresh. He asked me if I thought I was gonna eat all this by myself and I was laughing and think one empanada ...no, it came with three. And the tacos came with came with an amazing fresh piece of watermelon seasoned with spices. It was an amazing feast. He is such a gifted Chef. The seating is in the union so it's like a big hub where you can try different kinds of restaurants. And I walked around for a while before I pick this one, but his food just looks so fresh and tasty and it was. I am so glad I picked him. Definitely gonna have to come back and try the rest of his food and I suggest that you give him a try to cause this place is amazing and needs to be experienced. And don't miss dessert... The churros and ice cream are amazing

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!

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 menu took a minute to understand, but once you figure out the organization, the menu is simple. We got the taco plate and the flautas. The flautas were good, crispy, the chicken was of good quality, and the seasoning was tasty without being over powering. Got one of each flavor of tacos on corn tortillas, all were vey delicious with a decent amount of meat, perfect amount of seasoning, and cooked perfectly. The beans were very good. Veggies, guacamole, and cheese seemed fresh. The red and green sauces were good, be careful the green had some zing. Not a complaint, but the rice did not stack up to the rest of the food. It was ok, where everything else was awesome. This place was like some abuelita was in the back making the food with love. Definitely will be going back when in town

The hubs ordered 2 pork tamale ala carte (there is a platter if you want) and then he got some breakfast tacos. He specified no cheese or dairy and was told they would not put cheese in. 10 min later his buzzer went off and he opened up his box to find there was cheese in his breakfast taco. He brought it back to ask if there was cheese and the worker said no, there is no cheese. I took a look and saw there was shredded cheese in the taco and brought it back to the counter and brought it to the owners attention. The owner asked the worker if there is cheese in the taco, the worker said no. Then I literally pulled the cheese out of the taco and it was stringy, definitely cheese. Then they took back the box and said they would remake the breakfast taco with no cheese. So the two tamales were small tamales and a little dry. It's good with a dipping sauce. The breakfast taco was alright. Of course we were a little worried that there was cheese in it!
