    Puppy cup for the win!
    Denise D.

    A new find on my search for great tacos!. I took a drive to Stillhouse Hollow Lake to watch the sun set, and on the way out, Taco Cowboy caught my eye. I whipped into the drive thru since I had my dog with me, and ordered up a couple of tacos. The server manning the window offered me a puppy cup of whipped cream for my dog which he greatly appreciated! I had a carnitas soft taco and a pastor soft taco. Both were regular sized, and had excellent texture and flavor.im looking forward to returning for a dine in experience and to try some other menu items. The prices were good too! $2.99 each for the tacos!

    The reviews made this place sound great, so my husband and I were excited to check them out. The atmosphere was bright and colorful. There were only two other tables when we went, so service and seating were easy to get. Neither my husband nor I were expecting plastic cutlery or disposable plates, but it didn't really matter. The chips were good, and the salsa was okay. We like spicy salsa, though. We got the mini taco plate as a kind of appetizer. It was good but needed more acid, like lime or pico. The rice had good flavor, but some of it was undercooked. I wasn't all that interested in the refried beans, so I never had much of that. I liked my husband's chicken enchilada more than my beef, as the meat was a tad dry. We were confused about signing up for membership when we ordered drinks. It wasn't explained well. The food wasn't bad, and the service seemed to truly care about our experience, but overall, neither of us is rearing to return. There are other restaurants in the area we enjoyed more. This is one of those times I wish I could give half stars, but I'll round up because of the service.

    my friend that's sitting across from me got the Quesabirra &' me the mini tacos!

    Me and my best friend Whitley decided to stop at this place on a Sunday March 3, 2024 around 4 to 5pm, and I would like to say I would like to start off by talking about our server Maria, she was so amazing, sweet and kind and very helpful. Also, she gave me a little bit of a backstory of the restaurant and I loved that. Secondly, the food that is, there is to die, for I've never had any good authentic Mexican food. It was like a literally a hidden jewel. We just happened to stumble upon it whenever we were leaving the river and decided to stop to grab a bite to eat on our way home. If you haven't been to this place, then I highly suggest you go and check them out.

    Finally got to try the breakfast tacos ! Delicious ! We got 2 Bacon egg cheese tacos, the kids waffle plate and I also had a steak egg and cheese breakfast taco and one el pastor taco with onion and cilantro ! The steak egg cheese taco was amazing ! I tried to take a good pic of the tacos but They were just wrapped in foil and I couldn't get a good Yelp worthy pic! Again, we'll be back taco cowboy ! Oh yea we got a horchata too! Mmm

    Great meals Good prices. Very friendly staff It's a little bit out-of-the-way, but the dining room has Lots of room!!

    Sad ass beef burrito

    It's cute, and the fact servers are kind. The food is really mediocre and everything comes on like fast food plates etc. The "queso" is either velveeta or ballpark cheese which is super disappointing when you want to go to a Mexican restaurant for the queso. Salsa was good but nothing to write home about. Pretty sure the chips are store bought bags. The refried beans are to liquidy and bland. Chicken texano was good. Decent seasoning and cooked well. But again not really a WOW this is good.

    Absolutely amazing birria tacos - comparable to what you'd get at some of the best taquerias in Austin! Highly recommend Taco Cowboy!

Asked for my eggs over medium and they were EXACTLY perfectly cooked. Tater tots were absolutely delicious also, I recommend them 10/10. The friend I was eating with is gluten-free and dairy-free. They were able to pick from a good amount of options, and they got the avocado toast on gluten-friendly bread, no dairy, and they loved it. Atmosphere is very fun and retro, though since it is a small building, it can get pretty loud if busy. Obviously not much staff can do about that though, and crowds is a good sign for buisness! But if you're noise-sensitive, maybe request to sit away from the main room, or bring headphones. Service was very cordial, we got seated very quickly and served quickly as well! I didn't get coffee this time, but I have gotten a latte before and it was phenomenal. Overall great breakfast-for-lunch joint. My only complaint is I wish they were open later in the day for dinner too! Will definitely be coming back. Eat local!

The wait staff tends to be a little more experienced, and you can tell they actually care about taking care of their tables. We've always had good service when we've visited. Prices are reasonable, especially for seafood, and overall it's just a nice place to spend an afternoon or evening. It works equally well for taking the family or sitting out on the deck for a date night. It's far enough away that we don't go all the time, but close enough that we keep finding our way back every few months.
