It was right next door to the hotel I was staying at. Was seated right away as it was only me. I was on a business phone call but told the girl my drink order. She came back and asked if I was ready to order. I told her I needed another min. I hung up my phone call and waited for her to come back. After making eye contact with another waiter, I thought he would tell her I was waiting. No chips or salad brought to me but the guy took them to other tables. I waited 15 minutes for my waitress, who never showed back at my table. It was already late and I just needed to eat something. So I went to the counter to order take out so I could eat in my room then go to bed. Once I ordered it took about another 15 minutes to get my food. It was hot, even with a 5 min walk back to the hotel. I got the quesabirria tacos with beans and rice on the side. When I got back to my room the tacos were sitting in the beans and made them super hard to grab as they stuck to the beans and rice and made it really messy. The consume was really flavorful. The tacos were packed with lots of meat. So much that out of the 3 tacos I could only eat 2 of them.,The food was great, but expect to order from the counter if you go to eat there.
My girlfriend and I visited Mr. Taquito around 12 pm for the first time and decided to do takeout. We were warmly greeted by a friendly staff member, which gave us a good first impression. We ordered two Birria rice plates ($36), birria-style fries ($16), two orders of consommé, and one order of elote ($9), totaling $72 after a $4 tip. Unfortunately, our experience went downhill from there. We waited about 40 minutes for our food, which wouldn't have been an issue if the food had been of good quality. However, when we got home and opened our order, everything was cold. It seemed like the food had been prepared early on but wasn't packaged and sent out until much later. One of the Birria rice plates was portioned correctly but was cold. The second plate was also cold and had significantly less birria in the tacos--only about a quarter of what was in the first plate. The birria-style fries were portioned nicely, but they were also undercooked and cold, indicating they had been sitting out for a while before being packaged. The consommé came in tiny cups, and to make matters worse, the cups were only half full. The only thing we enjoyed was the elote, but even that was overpriced at $9 for a very small cup. In the end, we barely touched the food, and most of it went to waste. Overall, I would rate this place two star due to the long wait time and poor food quality. The ambience is nice, but spending $72 on a meal that ends up mostly in the trash is unacceptable. I wouldn't mind waiting if the food were fresh and properly prepared, but based on this experience, I won't be returning to Mr. Taquito.
My first time trying this place, I was not impressed. The way the food is shown on instagram, is not the same in person. We ordered 6 tacos, 2 chalupas & nachos. I was excited to try the chalupa, only to be let down by the chicken & chipotle salsa. The chicken was very dry and it seemed as if they poured more salsa than anything else. It was extremely spicy to the point where I can't eat it. They remade my chalupa's to pastor since they ran out of chicken. My friends who ordered the tacos and nachos, mentioned how they were good but not great. 1/5. The service was good, our server was polite and attentive. I only wish they had a better way to know if you sit yourself down or get sat down by a host. You awkwardly just stand there until someone shows up to you. 4/5 As we got sat down, we noticed their A/C was possibly not working so they had a medium size unit inside. We instantly noticed a weird smell from the surroundings of our table. The lights went out mid of us eating and they went back on 30 min later. And the music was LOUD. 2/5. This place needs more upgrading from food to ambiance.
The food was good but not the 25-minute wait that we had. For clarification, there were less than 10 people in the in the building. The service was slow but very friendly. The ambiance on that day was cool. There was a saxophone player on this day (Sunday), which was cool and chill. Though I did not give a high score, I do see potential and am willing to go back in the future in hopes of improvement.
I came here after seeing it keep popping up on my instagram feed! I saw the menudo and it looked so good in the photos and I said man I have to try this place. Came in, they sat me. The waitress was super nice and super sweet! I ordered a Vampiro taco de Carne Asada and Menudo! Vampiro was so delicious! Cheesy and super favorable! Menudo was super tender and the broth was pretty amazing! I never take pictures but I decided to take one after I devoured the taco! Lol sorry I know but it was really good and I would recommend coming here!
We were excited to try this place as we watched the process of it being built. We came on a Sunday morning to try the breakfast molcajete. It was about 10:30 in the morning and there was just one person at the bar. We expected a restaurant style place but it's more of a taqueria. You have to order at the counter and they give you a number and bring your food to you. Unless you sit at the bar. That was a little disappointing but not a deal breaker. This is more of a taqueria with a full bar Our server/bartender was young and shy, when I asked her what their signature drink was she looked confused and said "well that's our drink menu". So I ordered a mangonada margarita and it was delicious. We placed our food order and waited. We ordered the breakfast molcajete and a bean and cheese burrito. The molcajete is good but can use some work. It is a little dry and needs more salsa and it was missing the green onion. The flavor though is on point! The tortillas were freshly made and so amazing!!! The bean and cheese burrito as basic as it sounds was delicious! The bartender brought us our tab before asking if we wanted anything else and we actually did want another drink. I ordered the "TNT Cadillac Margarita" if you frequent another nearby restaurant you'll know where this name came from. But it did not disappoint! So delicious and lived up to its name. We typically wait several months to visit a new establishment but it's so close to home and all the hype I've been seeing on instagram we thought we'd give it a try on a rainy Sunday morning. We will be back and try it for lunch or dinner and see how the vibe is for evening drinks so we aren't ruling it out as a regular place just yet. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food and good drinks then Mr. Taquito is your spot but if you're looking for good food, good drinks, and great service I'd wait a few more months until they work out the kinks. I can see this being a local Sunday morning football watching spot or a fight night spot. Definitely has a lot of potential and I'm here for it and excited to see its growth!
Not bad! A solid 3 1/2 stars. They serve salsa and chips when they seat you. We ordered guacamole as an appetizer, a burrito and a Carnitas plate for dinner. The food had good flavor. The guacamole was fresh and tasty. To drink I chose the TNT margarita and my better half chose the jalapeño and cucumber margarita. The jalapeño and cucumber margarita was spicy yet refreshing but the TNT margarita will knock you on your butt! It has about a second delay when you take a sip before it punches you in the face. Super strong and all you can really taste is the tequila. They have nine TVs around the dining area, pretty good music. We went on a Friday night around 8 o'clock and it seemed to be very busy. Overall, not bad. Only a few areas that might need improvement. Maybe offer silverware and napkins as soon as we sit down. We had to get our own napkins from the counter and had to ask for silverware after our food had been served. Also, the rice and beans came out a little cold. I would eat there again.
We went on a weekday and for happy hour. They had different happy hour drinks for different days of week. Good prices.
I asked the person who seated me and he recommended the shrimp enchiladas. I enjoyed every bite, see the photos attached. Music and the sports channels was a great atmosphere. Enjoy. Oh, and if you're staying at the hotel next door, let them know! They give a discount. Bonus!
Absolutely phenomenal! From the vibrant atmosphere to the mouthwatering flavors, dining at Mr. Taquito Mexican restaurant is an experience and family favorite .Every dish bursts with authentic taste and is impeccably presented. The staff are incredibly attentive and super knowledgeable Definitely a five star gem. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The service was friendly and helpful. Nice people all around. Food was delicious. All day breakfast of that quality is a hard thing to find. The pork was a bit salty but with the verde sauce and home made tortillas it hit the spot. Nice bar and seating with a bit of a divider in case you want to dine separate from the bar patrons. TVs on the all would be a fun place to come after work for their taco Tuesday deal. We enjoyed our visit and will be again. Only complaint about the ambiance was the music was a bit loud but I am sure if we had asked they would have turned it down.
Ordered 4 taquitos, had to share the rest just to not waste food! Why is the cheese melted on to the taquitos like that?! Had to pull them apart from the cheese just to eat. Why are they so wet? They weren't even crunchy any more with all the juice in the plate. Yea never going back after this. What a disappointment.
I'm only giving this place 3 stars because the food is delicious and fresh. However they can't figure out if it's a taqueria cafeteria style or full service with wait staff. I'm here on Valentine's Day it's halfway to capacity. They have a host stand at the entrance so they show us to whatever table want. The person "hosting" us seats us and says when you're ready to order go to the counter. Hmm ok so is it a walk up style or a full service restaurant where they wait on you? Anyway I found that confusing because later in the evening I see staff waiting on other tables. Management please work this out define what kind of place you want to be I also prefer to pay my drinks and food together, as of tonight if I wanted something from the bar you have to order and pay separately which is inconvenient for the customer. Otherwise I think the food is great fresh and tasty but the service style is confusing.

Food Service Cleanliness It's a great place to eat, take out or dine in. We went recently for our nieces birthday celebration. She and her family had never been. Needless to say the food and service was amazing. We will all be back. read more
This was my first time here. We had just left Kaiser and I wanted a bean and cheese burrito. So my wife and stopped in. They have a bar, tv's and dining area. You need to be seated but they were fast. We ordered in just a few minutes and had our food within minutes. The food was tasty and I would definitely go here again. read more
I've been wanting to try this place out for sometime now. We finally made it in today and I'm so upset we haven't gone before! I tried everything everyone ordered and everything was super good! I ordered the red chilaquiles, the plate came with beans and two fried eggs over it. You have the option to add meat with them. I'm not a big fan of meat with chilaquiles so I opted out. The chilaquiles were made with home made tortillas and they were drenched in the red chile but they were still so crunchy! Super good! My husband got the chile relleno plate and the chile was roasted perfectly, it had a perfect amount of cheese, the red chile had great flavor. My daughter had the carne asada torta. The asada had really good flavor! The bread was super fresh it was toasty on the outside but still super soft. Yum! Can't wait to go back! The service was great and the place is decorated nicely. They have a nice bar so it has some good vibes as well! read more

Friendly. Didn't really know menu and drinks. Birria bites were something new and delicious. Trio platter was good. Saw someone bring in outside beer which was weird. Place oils be air conditioned. Swamp cooler on a hot day. Blame tasting food. Half serve of salsa and chips. Never refilled. Had to ask for napkins. Probably a better babe than restaurant. This was the first time trying and place was 9 months new to opening read more

This place is by far the best Taqueria in town! They opened a small one in a gas station in ceres and now they have a bigger version right by my house and I am addicted!! The Vampiros, Chalupas and the Dorados are some of my favorites! The Birria is amazing in anything the serve and the Molcajette Breakfast bowl is next on my list. I usually got for breakfast and get a Bloody Mary also and they are so good with the tajin on the rim! Yum!!! All the cocktails are amazing though. Oh I almost forgot the Chilaqulias & Chilaqulias breast Burritos at my breakfast go-to right now!! The service is always amazing and really fast no matter how busy they are! If you haven't been here it is a must try! You won't be disappointed!!! read more
