Awesome Taco Tuesday Hot sauces are phenomenal. This place will definitely be in our dinner rotation now.

Baja tacos Family size chips, salsa and guacamole  Margarita on the rocks
Jewellia S.

Hands down one of my favorite taco places here in OKC. I love the location of it since it's right in the middle of the Wheeler District surrounding by other businesses and houses. It's definitely more kid friendly space since there's a park like right outside the eating area but it can be a bit overwhelming at certain times of the evening. I prefer going about an hour before close on weekdays because it's much more quiet and there's less people. Tacos are fire but honestly the chips and guacamole are the best part.

Chips and queso
Lauryl B.

Service was great. I was charged for a full price margarita when it was happy hour and the bartender noticed before serving me and gave two drinks in lieu of a refund. People were friendly. Tacos had an earthy/dirt taste to them and for mango being in the name, there wasn't a lot of mango on the tacos. The chips and queso were just not good...soggy undercooked chips and no flavor in queso. Salsa was good with lots of cilantro. Mexican highball and frozen margarita were fine. Cute decor inside

The sauces and a margarita

Love this place! Incredible location, friendly staff, and wonderfully delicious food. The chips' texture is unmatched, and steak chimichurri taco is umami at its finest. Love that they have a variety of sauces. Great variety of seating both inside and outside, and I love the accessibility to other shops and a brewery. Definitely an elite, elevated taco experience.

Food is fantastic and it has an awesome atmosphere with a huge outdoor area with a small playground. We went recently for a birthday party with little kids and it's great for them to run around and play. I got the Baja nachos and they were fantastic and more filling than just the tacos. The food is quality but really the atmosphere is what makes this great.

Great service. Everyone we talked to was super nice. The tacos were amazing as well as the guacamole and the salsa. However the queso had a little bit of a weird taste. Just not for me. Everything else was great. We will be back

Steak chimichurri no pico de gallo
Sandra K.

This is such a cool area to hang out. We came here for the Wheeler District Friday night farmers market. We had the steak chimichurri and barbacoa tacos. The barbacoa was flavorful. The steak chimichurri over was good but was lacking the chimichurri taste. Cashiers were nice and friendly. Taco prices did not reflect the prices on the menu posted on the board. They were .50c more. Taco prices were decent, chips were a little pricey.

Steak, chicken and fish taco
Jessica T.

We had the tacos, chips and dip and beef nachos. The taco portion was a good size but the value for the nachos was too small for the price. We didn't realize the chips were free refills on the chips and dip. They didn't ask us for refills until we were full. Overall it was decent. Friendly service,

Tres amigos appetizer
Christy S.

Amazing experience at Taco Nation! We loved every bite, and we are already planning to take some friends back with us next week. The tacos were so delicious, and I highly recommend the tres amigos appetizer. Salsa, queso and guacamole served with chips. We got the large order and it was plenty for the three amigas who were sharing it. The guacamole was my favorite, so creamy and delicious. We had a bit of a wait, which is to be expected on a Friday night, but we easily found a table after we ordered at the counter. The cute dining space even offered some games to play while you wait. I'm ready to go back!

Plenty of street parking! When you look at the menu, you might think "wow, $5-6 a taco is kind of expensive", but they're massive. I barely could finish 3. One taco is like equivalent to 2 street tacos. I can't remember the names of each taco, however, they were all delicious!! Their chips and quest were also yummy; you can tell they're made fresh! They have bottles of various salsas at the counter that are self serve with small saucers/ramekins. Having a self serve salsa bar in the future would be a cool concept. It can get a little rowdy, esp for the weekends. Service was fantastic. Servers checked in and cleared the tables/dishes frequently. Will definitely return soon!

Molly B.

We popped in for an early dinner and loved everything! The atmosphere is super chill and relaxed. The employees were friendly and helpful. And the food...the FOOD! The salsa and guac are super fresh, and the chips are addictive. We also tried each of their taco sauces (with chips for dipping), and each was unique and flavorful. We tried the Steak Taco, the Baja Taco, and the Surf n Turf Taco. They all had a ton of flavor and were delicious! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

Tim T.

Great tacos for reasonable prices and excellent beverages. Spacious interior environs and also many tables. Service also very prompt and they bring you your food to the table. Got the fish and shrimp taco - both were excellent. Also got their horchata and house lemonade which were additionally exceptional. Highly recommended!

Baja taco
Tony S.

One of the many restaurants in the Wheeler District. Can get packed on the weekends, its a great place for a family outing as they have a large outdoor patio and right next to is the kid's playground. They also have table tennis and cornhole. But the main attraction is the food. Carne asada fries are fire! Definitely a shareable. Tacos are also large. My go-to is Barbacoa and unexpected the fish tacos were a hit. Definitely will have to come back to try the other items on the menu.

Is this place only open Tuesday like it's showing on Yelp?

Normally we are going to various locations throughout the week. Our main consistent spot has been Tuesdays at The Big Friendly Brewery. But we are beginning to park there on Fridays as well from 5:30pm-8pm. We still have a few private events that…

It arrived as this dramatic, beautifully constructed tower of mixed seafood topped with avocado and a whole shrimp--definitely a dish that makes an entrance. The seafood seemed fresh, but I discovered that this particular style of mixed mariscos just isn't for me. Some of the seafood had a gray, translucent appearance and texture that I personally didn't enjoy. That may simply be characteristic of the preparation rather than any problem with the dish. I only tried this one item, so I don't think it would be fair to judge the kitchen more broadly based on my personal preference. What I can comment on much more definitively is the noise. It was extraordinarily loud. I eventually pulled out my phone and measured the sound level because I genuinely wanted to know whether it was as loud as it felt. I recorded levels exceeding 100 dB, with peaks around 103 dB. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Unfortunately, I could barely hear them. I enjoy energetic restaurants and certainly don't expect dinner to take place in a library. But there's a point where "lively atmosphere" becomes something prospective customers deserve to know about before deciding where to spend an evening. This crossed that line for me. If a very high-energy, extremely loud environment is your thing, you may have a completely different experience. If you're hoping to have a conversation over dinner without shouting across the table, I'd choose accordingly. Friendly staff, impressively presented food, and a seafood dish that simply wasn't my jam. But the volume overwhelmed everything else about the experience--and at 103 dB, that's not background music. That's the main course.

Some meals spark conversation. Taco Empire ended ours. Chef…read moreKoumbis 405 and I stopped in for lunch after our original plans fell through, and what started as a backup option quickly turned into one of the best meals we've had in Oklahoma City. The experience started with their house-made sauces and a fantastic dip trio featuring fresh guacamole, creamy queso, and salsa. Everything tasted fresh and made from scratch. Then the tacos and tortas arrived. The Birria Torta was packed with flavor, and the quesabirria tacos were outstanding. The homemade blue corn tortillas were crispy, flavorful, and held together perfectly from first bite to last. Paired with their rich, savory consommé, it was easily some of the best birria I've had in OKC. What impressed us most was the attention to quality. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and homemade tortillas elevated every dish we tried. Taco Empire is the kind of place that makes everyone at the table stop talking and focus on the food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food and exceptional birria, this spot deserves a visit. We'll definitely be back.

One young lady server was running around behind the counter, helping the to-go station, and later helping out in the kitchen. Another lady appears to be dedicated to the to-go station. Then there were maybe 3 gentlemen working the kitchen. Hubs ordered the Grilled Shrimp Tacos and I got the Salad Bowl with Grilled Shrimp. We like it that they use red cabbage for the crunch. And I always get their Horchata to cut through the heat. Hanging tv's were on, but not sure what was playing. Mexican music in the background. Good quick in and out.
