    a silver car parked in front of a restaurant
    Guy H.

    This is strictly a review of the crunchy beef Taco. Taco Casa is a Texas Restaurant company with locations throughout the state. I would say they are competitors of the typical national chains like Taco Bell and Taco Bueno among others. Usually, they only have a single location in an area so a lot of people don't know about them. I would say that if you stick with just the crunchy taco you will be happy. Every time I check out at the grocery store, the flip side of my receipt has a Free Taco coupon from Taco Casa. So I kept it thinking Ill stop by and try it someday. That day was today. Looking at the coupon I notice it had expired(insert mysterious creepy horror film music).! I had an idea what was going to happen when I went inside to claim my Free Crispy Beef Taco. You got it they were going to say, "this has Expired" They did but I ask,?do you want a new customer who comes here to get your tacos or do you want to send me away empty-handed"? The Young man looked perplexed like Oh that makes sense! I got my free taco and they are better crunchy beef tacos than Taco Bell by a long shot. So in the taco fast food review Taco Bell out Taco Casa in!

    I'm a Taco Casa fan. The food is simple, but fresh and served up hot. I generally stick with a been burrito, soft taco, or chilada (large beef enchilada). Steer clear of nachos unless you're a fan of tin can nacho cheese sauce. Taco Casa, in my opinion, is miles better than the ubiquitous Taco Bell - better quality ingredients and fresher tastes. There's a shabby chic decor - kind of a 79s retro branding feel to the stores, and it works.

    Lunch for two. Bean burrito, super taco, & tostada (did not need to order extra cheese ).

    Food was ready quickly, tasted good, service was friendly, and the place was clean. We would eat here again.

    I over did it when I asked for extra cheese but it was goood!

    Great fast food tex-mex! I've tried avoiding fast food restaurants but I couldn't resist after reading the great reviews. This place is minutes from campus and I'm glad I stopped by! The ingredients were FRESH... from the ground beef, crispy green lettuce, diced and non soggy tomatoes and finely shredded cheddar. I tried the chilada which was very flavorful especially with their hot sauce. The portion sizes are more than filling. I over did it ordering both a chilada and a taco and was stuffffed. I'll never go to Taco Bell or those other chains as long as this place stays around. I see many late night runs here in the future. Yum!!

    Toastada, enchilada and burrito!

    This is a very congested area and Taco Casa is connected to a gas station / convenient store. Lot of bums around the area . Restaurant is clean. Staff is friendly and the food is always hot and delicious! They are always generous on their toppings and the prices are cheap!

    Super Taco!! So big!
    Annie N.

    Well.. This location is attached to a gas station. That doesn't bother me.. It's busy. Dirty tables. Gets crowded. Really crowded. The food: I ordered two Super Tacos. They're HUGE! Taste: not bad. Decent favors Next I ordered a side of beans. Served in a plastic bowl, they add yellow cheese on top along w their spicy sauce. Taste: not a fan. I know it's fast food, but it was sloppy too salty Would I go back, yes. But just order something different

    Have you changed your meat mix? Something is different. I guess I can mark Cast Taco off my list. Im very disappointed.

    You're apparently open until midnight. And it's 10:43 and there's not a single person here.... I love Taco Casa and I'm sad you're closed.

Could barely hear the person next to me because we were seated next to a party of 10+ people. It may have been best to reserve that area just for them and have us seated elsewhere but no biggie. I was celebrating my birthday here since I've heard great things about the food choices. I ordered shrimp tacos, my family got fajitas and it was pretty decent. Towards the end of dinner, our server was super attentive and brought out a shareable dessert. I believe it was a churro cheesecake which was delicious.

    The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
