Food is exceptional, I have been chasing a feeling and have never been satisfied until now. You…read moreknow that feeling when you experience "The Best" and it ends up imprinting on you more than you think? When I was a young lad on the coast of San Diego, there was a little shop called "Bull Taco" Where the surfers after exhausting themselves frequent. The softest corn tortillas, the tastiest asada. With a balanced spicy salsa. When I had that taco I didn't know I would be chasing that taco feel 15 years later. But I tell you, today on June 15th 2026, all is well. When I eat this food I am reminded of a simpler time, when my most important problem was the heat of the salsa. When I experience the food here I am taken back (You know like that scene in Ratatouile) to being a young Mayan child - I have no Latin roots - I have just came back from playing that ball game they play with their hips. And my mother has prepared me a meal that will not only restore my body but eases my spirit. You might be saying to yourself this dude is smoking crack. YES I am but still the food here is delicious. I can taste the history in the beans and salsa. I can feel the mastery of flavors. Whoever is in the back is not a cook but an artist. An artist who has studied their craft. This food raises questions like "Who are you?". "What are your desires?" and it clarifies with a statement I AM FOOD WITH A RICH HISTORY. The hardest part of life is recognizing the beauty around us. Imagine if you had a neighbor who was super chill and never imposed on you and was always helpful but you never initiated a conversation or got to know each other better. Imagine you never stopped to smell the roses, or eat Centenarios tacos. I am not saying this taco will change your life. I don't think food has the ability to do that. But I will say I miss my mom, I am a long way from home. This food eases that pain.

My fiancé and I dined here on a Tuesday night and it felt very homey and welcoming like we were eating at a friend's house. We had the birria tacos and the lengua tacos which were both to die for. The Birria tacos came with the consome which is a type of soup you can dip the tacos in. Each taco was 3.50. I also had the horchata drink and that was very good as well. Complimentary chips and salsa. I will definitely be back to try their menudo.

We've visited three times over the past year, hoping each time would be better than the last. We…read moregenuinely want this place to be great. The drinks are festive and generous--we usually downsize so we can pay closer attention to the food. The salsa is fresh (though quite spicy), and the other two dipping sauces were fine. The multicolored tortilla chips (red, green, and yellow) appear to be store-bought. One of us always orders the nachos; the other always orders the burritos. The nachos have come out burnt on two visits and soupy on others--something we hadn't encountered before. The meat in both dishes has repeatedly arrived with an off color that concerned us. On our third visit, the person who had the burritos became ill afterward. We're not sure if the owner is the "Viejo Tony" the name suggests, but the desire for the restaurant to succeed is real. We still hope things improve.

The boudin balls were the saving grace. They were large (in comparison to the other boudin balls I've previously had) and very tasty. The sweet potato waffle fries weren't bad either.

I will never waste my money in this establishment again. Go try Big Thickett BBQ or another local spot in town. Watching the unsanitary practices by a waitress named Kaitlyn, who seemed to be in charge, and the laziness of majority of the group gave me enough reason to never waste my time having a meal here again.

We came in during the week for a late lunch/early dinner, so missed the rush of customers. We received awesome service. As soon as we were seated, we received complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were salty and warm and the "medium" salsa was very nice and had a good heat to it. Later on, the waiter brought us another basket and two more salsas: a salsa verde (green, mild) and a creamy hot salsa. They were all good, but I preferred the medium myself. We had a bowl of queso to go with the chips and it was enjoyed by all. My DIL had the Chile rellenos with the chicken Tinga (shredded chicken & veggies). She loved it. Lots of soft cooked peppers and plenty of chicken and cheese. My son had the Birria quesadilla, a unique way of serving Birria. My husband and I both had the Cheesy Birria Taco plate, which came with 3 tacos, rice and beans. The Birria tacos were so delicious. The meat (shredded beef) was incredibly tender and savory, with generous melty cheese. The consommé dipping sauce was super yummy. My husband opted to swap out one of his tacos for chorizo meat done in the same style and he thought it was fabulous. The beans and rice were pure comfort food. Flavorful and every bite perfect. Now my son had Sprite because he was the designated driver but the rest of us indulged. My husband had a Modelo Negro with a frosty mug and then had an almost Tequila Sunrise. He loved both. My DIL and I both had margaritas. They come in 3 sizes, regular, large, and jumbo. We were very pleasantly surprised by the size of the large. (Just how big is that jumbo? LOL) She had the passion fruit margarita and I had the regular lime, both were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was fantastic. I didn't get his name, but he was a handsome, tall gentleman from Puerto Rico. He treated us like royalty, while being super efficient and kind. If you are in the area, you really must try Festival Tacos. My kids come here often and bragged about how good it was. Definitely not an exaggeration.
