    Went May 5, we usually love this spot. Had a weird experience today Juan was unwelcoming and very short during the ordering process it was us and one other person inside, I order asada fries per usual they had 1.50 pastor tacos I ordered two and didn't receive them they turned the open sign off and started cleaning the lobby I went back inside to ask about the tacos and Juan asked me how much I let him know he was dismissive and relooked up the order to double check and handed the tacos off with a attitude

    Best Mexican food we've come across in Texas so far. And we've tried many. Great food with great prices. Will definitely be one of our new local spots to frequent!!!

    " Wet" Memphis Burrito (California Style) Amazing!
    D N.

    A great place to eat. The Memphis Burrito is great by it make Itself. However, the new Memphis Burrito California Wet Style is one of the best burritos I have ever had! Wet California style means they add The Secret Tomatillo Sour Cream Sauce and shredded cheese over the burrito then broil it until the cheese golden perfection. This Burrito won't disappoint!

    Asada Fries

    Some of the most delicious tacos I have ever eaten! The Al Pastor tacos were out of this world! I also loved their asada fries. That queso they put on top of the fries are the cherry on top! Mr. Tako probably has the best tacos in McKinney!!

    Bean and cheese taco. One with red sauce
    Sunny D.

    Husband got a beef fajita street taco and a crispy beef taco. He said they were both good and he did try the red and green sauce. Both were hot but the red was very hot! I'm vegetarian so I had some beans on a corn tortilla with cheese and fresh onions. It was good, nothing special, but glad they could accommodate me. The red sauce rocks!!!

    Back again but finding better. The service has been great each visit with a bright ans clean restaurant. The food comes out fast and the price is right. All that upside is sure to have a down and that the food. I'm finding it more constantly dry. On this visit I ordered: *Buche *Barbarcoa *Chapechano All of which tasty but on the dry side. I was loading the tacos with salsa. Bummer. As I'm exploring more taquerias in the McKinney area I'm discovering some real gems. Unfortunately Mr T's is not high on my list. There's potential and you should absolutely try for yourself. It's not my jam.

    Asada Fries, so good.
    Ashly R.

    We came across Mr. Tako when driving to another place, we looked them up and went there that same day because we had to try them. We only tried the Asada Fries this time and man were they good. The lady taking our order was soo nice, she let my husband taste 2 of the drinks to make sure he liked them before buying them. We will be back to try more good.

    Carne asada frys! Were Loaded up and fairly priced! Al Pastor is greasy how I like it and flavorful! The customer service was great and while busy it flowed greatly with the team. No negatives, if you near by, give it a go!

    Plain Jane dining room, concrete floors and fluorescent lighting. Clean-ish

    Food quality is good. Fast service. Unfortunately food is loaded with msg and prices are too high for this class of restaurant. Self service, plastic forks, and paper towel rolls for napkins. Why is a basic lunch $10-14? Chips and salsa +$3, chips and queso +$6. You can go eat at great full-service Tex Max restaurants at this price point. Also why are you asking me for tips at the register? There is no service here.

    I'm curious if you have any vegan friendly options or options that can be altered to be made vegan? Vegan = NO animal products... No milk, no butter, no meat, no cheese, no egg, no animal stock, no fish sauce, etc. THANK YOU! :)?

    Probably not.

    I visited Mexican Cactus Taco Bar expecting your typical strip mall taco joint with decent tacos…read moreand some TVs to watch a World Cup match, but WOW did I underestimate what I was in for. I knew from the second we walked in, based on the list of made-in-house horchatas and agua frescas, that we were going to be in for a good meal. The menu was refreshingly unique compared to your basic street taco style setup or the usual Tex-Mex mashup of inauthentic tacos topped with shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Our group of 3 adults, plus my 7 year old niece, shared a bowl of guacamole, which was phenomenal and came mixed with sunflower seeds and topped with crumbled cotija, alongside house-made corn tortilla chips. We also split an elote cup, which was great. My wife got a classic horchata, which was deliciously sweet (but not overly so) with a nice slight punch of cinnamon. I went with water but will definitely try an agua fresca next time. I ordered two tacos, both on house-made flour tortillas (I like corn tortillas but prefer flour when made fresh). The Pollo Azteca, with marinated grilled chicken tenderloin, mango pico, and a drizzle of crema, was phenomenal, and had more flavor than most chicken tacos I've had before. The star of my meal, however, was the Al Pastor, with adobo marinated pork tenderloin, diced pineapple, onions, and cilantro, with a slice of lime to squeeze on top. This was hands down one of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. I was floored. I also tried my wife's Carne Asada tacos, which came topped with cilantro and onions, and a slice of lime, on their house made corn tortillas. The steak was incredibly flavorful, and the corn tortillas were tender without being chewy. We shared a side of rice and beans, which was good, but not the star of the show. The rice was your typical Mexican yellow rice, and the beans were more of a soupy whole-beans style, which reminded me of my Colombian mother-in-law's recipe. The staff makes four homemade salsas, ranging from mild to pretty spicy, and I loved all of them with the exception of the mild. My niece got the kids' cheese quesadilla, which was a simple melted Oaxaca cheese between a flour tortilla, served with rice, beans, and a little side of crema. The last thing I will rave about is the service. The staff was incredibly nice from the minute we walked in, pleasant to talk to when delivering our order and asking how everything was tasting, to the moment we bussed our tables and headed for the door. I cannot wait to come back again, and I hope they stay very busy until I'm able to do so, because I want this place to be around for a very long time!

    I came in to place a takeout order and had a very disappointing experience. The man at the register…read morewas unfriendly and unprofessional. When I got home and opened my bag, the paper bag holding the tacos tore because it was completely soaked in oil. Every taco was sitting in a pool of oil and was inedible. The meat in each taco looked questionable and unappetizing. The rice was extremely dry and bland, and the beans were just as disappointing. I've ordered this exact meal from other Torchy's Tacos locations without any issues, which makes this even more frustrating. This experience did not meet basic standards of food quality or service. I will not be returning.

    FOOD: Stopped in to try the new RONIN taco. It's the taco of the month. The taco has teriyaki…read moresteak, chipotle slaw, grilled onions, cotija cheese, peanuts, sriracha, and avocado sauce on a flour tortilla. It's sounded very interesting so I thought why not. I was not impressed with it. Maybe the peanuts were too much. However, it was fun to try. I also think they didn't put much sauce on it. I will start saying extra sauce. I didn't taste the sriracha at all. The meat could have been a bit more tender. The overall flavor and components were just ok. The taco complexity of ingredients sounded better than it tasted. 3 STARS SERVICE: was good no complaints. The staff seemed pleasant. 4 STARS AMBIANCE: I love the decor and design of this location. So RED and vibrant. It's cool and fun with a great vibe and energy. The lighting fixtures are so cool. 4 STARS I am only giving them a 4 because the Ambiance and Service. The food is definitely not the star of this visit. Looking forward to the next new taco of the month.

This is it and I'm positive I'll be getting it every Saturday that I can during the cooler months. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to trying everything else on their menu. Today we took our order to go and it was packaged completely perfectly with generous salsas and toppings.
