    1 dozen tapatios
    Lindsay D.

    I understand the craze now. I've been following La Maceta Tapatios on Instagram and Facebook for a little while now trying to figure out this best timing and location combo that would allow me to finally sink my teeth into their beloved tapatios. Well, wonder no more because the stars aligned and you're darn right I made an event out of it. There are some important things to note though when it comes to La Maceta Taptios though before you go. 1. Track their locations, times, and menu item availability on their social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram are active, can confirm). 2. When you get to their food truck they have an order system. They'll set up a couple crates (and hopefully some signs if it's not too windy) and ask folks that have yet to order to form a single-file line by those crates and wait. 3. They take orders in batches. When you form that single-file line in #2, they may not take your order immediately. If you don't see anyone to take your order, just wait by the crates and they'll be with you shortly. Why? They're making other orders at the time and probably are trying not to overload the kitchen. 4. Get the tapatios. 5. All orders are to-go and they have figured out how to package them to arrive to your dining destination safely and still crispy and warm. They have flat Styrofoam trays/plates that have lips around the edges, and then they place a rather sturdy bit of aluminium foil over the top. Genius. Food quality was amazing, fresh ingredients, and those tapatios. Do yourself a favor and just get them. You wanted tacos? Get those too, but also get those tapatios. Crunchy, filled with chicken, topped with tomatoes, cabbage, and queso fresco (I believe). Delicious.

    La Maceta Tapatios has won my heart! These ladies know what they are doing, and they are the best! Food: Tacos, tacos, tacos and más tacos! I honestly can't remember the name of the tacos I order, but they were made of asada and I added cheese and avocado. My order had the classic double corn tortilla and the meat and toppings were fresh and delicious. All of their food is made to order, so I've heard of some people having to wait up to an hour because they had a huge waiting line. Honestly, this doesn't bother me because I appreciate the effort and freshness that comes with their tacos. Location: La Maceta Tapatios location changes from day to day. They are usually around the downtown, southtown and south side area. My pro tip for you, is to follow their Instagram account because that is where they announce their weekly schedule and any changes to their location.

    Yaaassssss !!Finally had a chance to pre-order and get myself some amazing Mexican food. Kind of want to try the whole menu but this time I was able to try their mini tacos along with the Mexican hotdog. My boyfriend have got the mini tacos with the Tapatio's. And must I say their food is definitely made with love. everything was hot everything was amazing and tacos were amazing which is definitely hard to find authentic Mexican food. Okayyy I will definitely be back when I am on this side of town. It just sucks that they're not close but for now I will make the drive. I definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting anything but your typical TexMex. especially being from Cali. keep slaying la Maceta

    Food was ok, but pricy. This is a food truck and they are located in different parts of town. You can check their Facebook page for the locations I had the veggie tacos. I don't know why they were $1 more than the meat tacos. It had corn, cabbage, onions and avocado. It comes with six mini tacos to one order and you can't order single ones like the meat tacos. It comes with a side of beans that have bacon, so if you're vegetarian, you can't have any and they don't offer you to substitute. The corn in a cup is no worth the $4. It is canned corn and has nothing special in it. I suggest you skip it. My boyfriend had the combo plate. It came with half mini tacos and half tapatios. He liked the tapatios more than the mini tacos. The cabbage topping on the tapatios was pretty yummy. The tapatios had a good flavor. The beans were lacking flavor. They have two tables with a few chairs set up in case you want to eat there

    Valen-tacos! Nothing says I love you more than these babies
    Bernie B.

    Valen-tacos for the win! Nothing says I love you more than these babies! Always fresh, the taste bangs and that green salsa is to die for! A great place with consistent flavors, service and smiles. The new Toma Todo S.A drinks are one of a kind! I can't wait to try these babies in the summer in the Texas heat!

    Tacos Tapatios

    The food flavors were delicious. The taquitos were perfectly fried and the pickled cabbage was delicious. Price was too high for 6 taquitos. The other downside was they are inside a bar not family friendly.

    Omg! I was in Tapatio heaven! The only other place you can get Tacos Tapatios, is in Acuña, Mexico. They tasted just like the ones from Acuña!! Plus now I can get them at home instead of crossing the border lol. They are flautas, even thought they are called tacos, piled high with cabbage, tomatoes, crema, and mexican cheese, and a jalepeno on the side. I also tried the Mexican hot dog, which was a frank piled with bits of bacon, crema, and pico de gallo. Everything was delicious!!! We will definitely be coming back!!!!

    Finally made it out to see what the big hype was about these Tapatios. I've had Tapatios in Del Rio TX so I knew what to expect. The Tapatios were very good. They tasted like I was back in Del Rio. The cabbage and crema were perfect ratio. I did order extra crema just Incase it wasn't enough but honestly I think it was enough with what it came with. I also ordered mini tacos. The Asada tasted very good and the onions were finely chopped. The day I went they were giving complementary charro beans. Great flavor. The only con that I have is the long wait. I did see the young ladies working very hard to get our orders perfect so I would say it was worth the wait. I will be going back. If it's your first time there go prepared. Take lawn chairs and water the wait it long but worth it.

Having grown up in San Antonio, I have literally been to Mi Tierra's 100s of times. When you walk into the restaurant you experience immediate sensory overload (so much to see where it is hard to focus)...papel picado strung everywhere...in different colors...in different textures...metallic and paper...wow wow wow!!! In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

    Party of 2 on Monday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Seated right away. Mario was our kind and happy server. He provided great recommendations. He checked us often and refilled our waters often. CHIPS AND SALSA Complimentary. Tortilla chips are freshly made, oil it was cooked in tasted well, and the salsa was flavorful with roasted ingredients. FLOUR TORTILLA Very fresh, the right amount of salt and moisture, hot, toasted perfectly, just the right thickness, and teared apart very well. CHALUPA COMBO The chalupa was made with a typical crispy tortilla. Placed next to the enchilada so it made it a bit difficult to grab since one half of the chalupa got soggy. EL RANCHO SPECIAL Recommended by Mario. Selected beef tips. The beef was very tender and flavorful, the sauce was flavorful with spice and savory, the rice/beans were well seasoned and flavorful. The guacamole/lettice/cheese was placed into a taco shell. The guacamole was very fresh and had a great texture with varying chunks of avocado. ENCHILADA POBLANO The shredded chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The poblano mole sauce was mildly creamy, tasted of delicious poblanos, seasoned well, and added a refreshing contrast to the savory chicken filling. The pickled onions were a refreshing addition and had a great snap to them. AMBIANCE Feels like we were in a home. The place is decorated vibrantly. The decorations were also very bright and clean. The booth was comfortable and relaxing.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.
