Very bland Nachos Supreme with equally bland Carnitas.
Carlos C.

I recently relocated to the Fort Worth northern suburbs and was looking for a margarita and good Mexican food. I am feeling pretty let-down by my fellow Yelpers. Went to Try Taco Chon with a 4.7 rating... and, what??? I ordered something simple... Nachos Supreme with Carnitas. The carnitas were utterly flavorless - no notes of citrus, spices or any frying of the pork. The cheese sauce actually had less flavor than a high school football snack shack. Tasted straight out of the gallonsizwd can. Very light on tomatoes, but plenty of jalapeños though. Also, they are sodas and aguas frescas only. Why in the world do they have a bar in there? Very nice people, and a nice clean restaurant, but the food is sub-par. Won't be back, and can't recommend.

I'm becoming a regular here! My wife I shared two plates of Carne Asada and Chorizo tacos, delicious as always. I love their hot habanero sauce! We also had two esquites and washed it all down with a couple Mexican sodas. The dining room hasn't changed much since the last time we were here. But it's a clean industrial look, very hip. They also have a full bar, most people stick to beer and margaritas. The service is always excellent, this family run business knows how to treat customers. Love this place, as long as they maintain this quality, we'll keep coming back!

Pretty mediocre. I'm sure there's better Mexican restaurants in Fort Worth. Fatty steak and stingy serving on the steak also

We've been looking for good Birria tacos for quite some time. So when we saw a far north FW restaurant that was getting rave Yelp reviews, we knew where we had to go. Right away when you walk inside you fell like you're at someone's family gathering. The decor is super cool but also a great place for families. Loved that it appears to be a family business! The bar area is separate from ordering the food. My wife went to the bar to order our margaritas while I ordered our food. So there's no chips and salsa on the menu that I could find. They also don't offer guacamole, which is a bummer. When I asked about chips and salsa, the girl said we don't have salsa with the chips so you can use the containers of salsa. That was kind of odd. Hard to just keep squeezing hot sauce onto each chip. However, the chips were amazing. They also didn't bring the chips out first or let us know. I ordered the nachos and my wife wanted the Birria tacos. The tacos don't come with sides so we ordered the beans and rice as sides. My nachos were really really good! The chips didn't get soggy and lots of steak portion , along with the cheese and everything else. My wife absolutely loved the Birria tacos. The dipping sauce was tasty and made a big mess, which is always a good sign. The beans and rice were good but not great. A little more seasoning and they both were just warm, not hot. We'll definitely be back to try more!

Somehow, we lived around the corner from Taco Con for almost five years and never tried it. Our ridiculous loss because this place is BOMB. We tend to come on Saturdays or Sundays because my other half loves Menudo and claims that it's world class here. I've tried the Burria and taco salad and both were deelish. Taco Chon is family-run, and the sincere care for food and service shows in every freshly made-to-order delivery we have enjoyed here. My only nitpick is that "for here" orders are given in styrofoam "to go" containers. I would enjoy the eating experience more and think less about eco-impact if they served on dishes. Menudo is the only item that's served in a reusable dish. Otherwise, I highly recommend Taco Chon. Expect a long line on Saturday and Sunday!

Taco de tripa (extra crispy)
Roberto G.

Unexpected find on an expected day. Driving around and decided to stop in and check it out. So glad I did. The atmosphere was very inviting. A very cute taco place with a bar. It seems like it could be a lively place. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was quite good. I originally came in for tacos but the special of the day was a Mexican hot dog and it looked so good and tasty that I had to order it. No regrets whatsoever. I also ordered one taco de tripa and got it extra crispy. Good stuff. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Torta " BOTH Meats"
Bill H.

Upon arriving in Fort Worth - this is the first place my family wanted to take me. It was an amazing Torta Sandwich. Really great service and the cost was very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Make sure you try the Horchata- oh so good!

Birria tacos tacos

Delicious and cheap!!!! Great pricing and good foooooood. This place used to be inside ducky's i think then they branched out, good for them, deserve all the praise, service is good. You order at the front so kinda self served, they got a bar as well so u can order drinks from there and have a good time with your food. The decorations inside is beautiful great photo op

Lengua, Chicarron tacos
Jim M.

This is one of our favorite local spots for Taco's, they have Chicarron, Lengua, Tripe and many more on a daily basis. The tortas are all good and great for a filling lunch, recently expanded again to open up space next door and added bar area. Price is reasonable and the salsa comes in 3 varieties, green being my go to be careful here. What's not to live good food friendly folks only downside is the parking it's in a crowded strip mall so that can be somewhat challenging getting in and out. So if you haven't been give them a go when in the area.

Vegetarian Tacos
Brittany D.

SO DELICIOUS!! We came here tonight for my sons birthday. They were all so kind and helpful. They made us a huge platter of tacos for our party. The elote was delicious. I loved the vegetarian options- she gave me several choices. The best part of our meal was the tortillas- they were so delicious and clearly homemade. The margaritas could have been a bit stronger- but that's personal preference. Such a cute place! We will be back!!

Half of their bar selection including frozen margaritas
Tayy W.

Found this place on Yelp! Ngl, it was the Birria tacos that attracted me here. First time I went they didn't have any because it wasn't a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. (Those are the days they have Birria) they also have menudo on the weekends as well. Their horchata is soooooo goood. Today I came on a Saturday and I came for the delicious Birria this time. It tasted great, and they're not stingy with their meats on the tacos. I love that they have spicy habanero salsa, along with two other mild and medium salsas. The staff here is very nice and sweet, from the servers/cashiers to the cooks behind them. Everyone was really nice here. I always usually get a fruit punch jarritos when I eat my tacos, glad they have that option and many other flavors. They also have a bar in here with a pretty wide selection of tequilas. Definitely would recommend this place! And definitely will be back for sure!

Barbacoa Taco, Chicken Tostada and Elote!
Nikki M.

The food was excellent, the service was friendly and quick and the price point was my favorite part. Everything I tried was delicious will definitely be going back to try their Birria Tacos.

Does this place serve REAL Barbacoa? Some places try to pass off what I call Fauxbacoa, using beef chuck meat instead of beef head and cheek meat. I am a purest when it comes to tacos and know the difference.

Here now and the owner's daughter confirmed it is legit beef head.

I see people posting pictures of Birria Tacos but I don't see it on the menu pictures?

It's one of their "special menu" items they only do on weekends (Fri-Sun). They're pretty good about posting on FB or insta when it's available. Hope that helps!

Birria...everything! Like many in Fort Worth, I was drawn to Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez with the…read moreheadlines that they received Michelin recognition. A local place that serves amazing Birria, count me in! We made our jaunt for a Friday lunch and they were busy. There's plenty of space here - they have both outdoor and indoor seating but given that it was still hot AF, most everyone was crammed inside. The menu is quite expansive. As I said, its birria galore. Usually when hit with this much goodness I try to default with some of the tried and true recommendations, so I opted for the Quesataco Combo: 3 birria and cheese tacos, with all the fixings. Amazing. decadent. delicious. Plenty of words to describe the great birria they dish out here. Happy to say Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez lives up to the hype and if you're like me and you love some birria, definitely give it a shot. We will be back to try some birria pizza or even the birria ramen. Can't go wrong here.

I cant believe I havent reviews this place yet! I been coming to Cortez when they were still just a…read morefood truck back in 2020! I knew back then they were the real deal. When I was on my birria kick I would drive from Arlington all the way here because no other place came close. The meat is full of flavor and spice and the conzume they bring out with it is just as good. Its full of spice and flavor and I straight up drink that by itself, i dip my tortillas with it. I usually put salt and lemon on the tortillas and then roll them up and dip em in the conzume. In the past, I had the ramen, the platillo, the tacos, and I think the quesabirria, they are all delicious but my favorite is the quesabirria and the tacos, followed by the ramen. The menu is small but just stick with the tacos or buy the meat by the pound, and you are good to go. The rice and beans are average but still good; the salsas they have on the table are amazingly delicious. The light green one is my favorite because is not too spicy but spicy enough to give me that kick am looking for in my food. I drown my food in that salsa sometimes and then dip in conzume. In the past, I also had their margaritas, and they are delicious! The mango with chamoy and Tajín on the rim is my favorite! They have a patio in the back with another bar and more Tv's. The staff is nice, but the last 2 times i been there it took over 10 minutes to just get a waiter to recognize i had not been help and place my drink order with them. I notice the staff tends to pay more attention to bigger parties instead of groups of just 1 or 2 customers. I like the atmosphere of this place; the music, the shows they have on the tv and the murals honestly make it feel cozy like I am visiting a family member. I don't come here when they have soccer games on or late at night on the weekends because the customers can get rowdy sometimes, and that's not my vibe. All the time I've been, they have a security officer so people don't get too out of hand. The parking lot is kind of small so if you come on a busy day/time, you might need to park across the street. I never had to wait long to get a table, and the staff is pretty quick about cleaning and turning tables over to keep the wait down.
