Taco Ocho
Robert P.

When in Texas, this is our go to for tacos and nachos. They use queso on their nachos so they are nice and juicy with lots of meat. Most places like to use cheddar cheese on their nachos so you end up you a block of chips glued together with cheese - yuck! My wife loves the skinny margaritas and claims that they are better than anything back home in Florida. The sauces are nice and spicy and I really miss that. Hot in Florida = Mild in Texas. You forget what good is when you cannot get it.

If you are looking for authentic Tex-Mex, this probably isn't your place. But the food has really good flavor, thumbs up for their chips and salsa, and the staff is always super friendly which is a plus. I typically stop here for breakfast tacos, but also recommend their brisket and jalapeño pulled pork tacos for dinner.

Right before closing I was served fresh taco plate! The brisket, rice and black beans were prepared well! I took the other taco home. Evan was phenomenal with his service as well! Clean establishment.

Shame on me for two reasons...1) for taking so long for reviewing this restaurant and 2) for taking so long to try their brunch! We love Taco Ocho. It's super close to our home, and it offers a wide variety of Latin menu choices. It is owned by a local family and always has wonderful service. The food is favorable and delicious. They offer lots of vegan and gluten free choices. So the brunch...OMG! So many breakfast choices. I finally decided on the huevos rancheros, and my meal was delicious. They have lots of brunch drink specials...including $4 mimosas and an amazing Prickly Pear Margarita - which is as tasty as it is pretty! Highly recommend Taco Ocho for any time of the day!

2 taco meal, grilled fish taco & Coco Connection

This may be my new favorite taco place. A friend told me it was very good. It is right next to Market Street, which is my grocery store of choice, when I grocery shop. So, I am near it all the time but had never been. I finally asked a friend to meet me there for lunch. It was an excellent decision. We both enjoyed it. The waiter was very pleasant and offered great service. He checked on us every so often, without hovering, and improved our dining experience. We each got the two taco meals. The rice, refried black beans and corn side was excellent. Black beans are always my first bean choice. My friend loved the Latin Love and Pork tacos that she had. I had the grilled fish taco, which was one of the best fish tacos I have ever had. And, since I will be visiting Colombia soon, I chose the Coco Connection and loved it!

Overpriced and average quality. Tacos were a bit messy and fell apart. Ok but nothing special for the hefty price.

While we were there, I observed employees loading whole oranges into the fresh orange juice machine. Several oranges fell onto the floor, and I watched the employees pick the oranges up and place them back into the hopper to be juiced. I asked to speak with the owner but was told the owner was not there. A man who identified himself as the general manager came out. I explained what I had observed. The only question he asked was, "Do you know how many oranges fell onto the floor?" I replied that the number wasn't the issue. My concern was that oranges that had contacted the floor were being put back into the juicer. I did not feel my concern was taken seriously, and I requested the owner's contact information. I did not receive it. Because I believe this is a serious food safety concern, I reported this to the Highland Village Code Enforcement Division for investigation. We were excited to celebrate a special occasion here, but instead we left concerned about the restaurant's food handling practices and the response from management. Based on what I personally witnessed, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I left happy, full, and very ready for a food coma. I'll definitely be back.

I checked in at 30 minutes past reservation and they said they were "cleaning a table", then 40 minutes past reservation I checked in again, and then they said they will push two tables together... so they weren't cleaning any table for us. They sat 2 6-tops prior to us, plus numerous other larger groups. Having worked as a head host in the restaurant industry before, at first I thought it was because they all had reservations and were just before us in those, but as they sat ~15 groups before us, I started to notice we were being neglected. Even standing right in front of the hostess station. We were sat finally 45 minutes post reservation. (55m total wait time - the day before Mother's Day, with a reservation scheduled 3 days before.) Chelsea our server was phenomenal, the food is always good, high quality and made with care.

As you can see from posted pics here on Yelp the restaurant is classy with a brasserie ambiance and vibe. We elected to be seated in one of the very comfortable booths across from the attractive bar with its red, upholstered swivel stools. My wife opted for a glass of Pinot Grigio and I a Sazerac. The Sazarac was OK, but overpowered in this pour by the bitters (and I'm one who loves both Angostura and Peychaud bitters. I drink them both straight whenever I have a slightly queasy stomach and enjoy them straight). For starters we shared a bowl of French onion soup which on this chilly early winter morning was a comforting and savory start to our brunch meal. My wife went with the eggs Benedict and I decided to try the Oeufs en Cocotte, a dish I encountered here for the first time ever. The eggs Benedict, my wife reports, was excellent. Perfectly poached eggs, large slices of a tender and flavorful ham over a croissant-like puff pastry that had been split and grilled to perfection in butter on the flat top, topped with a nicely done Hollandaise sauce. Happily for me, she left a half of the butter grilled pastry. It was divine. Likewise the Oeufs en Cocotte, eggs poached in a shallot cream sauce, was heavenly. Cannot wait to enjoy this again! Perfectly cooked eggs in a flavorful, steaming hot, shallot and cream sauce. So good. Our server was perfectly attentive and very helpful, answering clearly our questions about the preparations of the dishes. So looking forward to our next visit.

Also, the friend we took one of thost times wants to return already because the beef bourguinon was still cooking when we were there. We have really nice experiences in Parker Square in general, but this was definitely a highlight. Friendly, welcoming servers and a neat atmosphere. Menus seem to change frequently, which is a good thing. My dad had the eggs in cream... when he gets quiet and doesn't say anything about his food, it means it's really good and he doesn't want to share it... when I stuck my knife in it and tasted it, that was confirmed, it was deliciously creamy and garlicy. I had the souffle the first time and the French Dip the second time. My mom had a smoked salmon salad and really enjoyed that. Go for brunch, go for lunch, go for dinner. Yummy!

The staff had at least six weeks to replace or remove them if seasonal drinks was a 2023 promotion. Fortunately, I never experienced any issues with the actual service. Although my bartender appeared to be being trained a more experienced employee, she did not appear to require training. She was very professional and polite. After she served my Dos Equis, she got me a decanter of water. I ordered the Lomo Adobado and glad not to have gotten chips and salsa. It was a tremendous amount of food. I do not recall the last time I received both rice and tortillas, so I was not too disappointed being provided only two tortillas. The additional salsa was not spicy and not necessarily as the marination on the pork was sufficient. The asparagus were a pleasant surprise since it was not mentioned in the menu. The black beans had the consistency of refried beans which I am not fond of. It was the only item remaining on the plate.

It was an interesting conversation piece. The Hilachas Guatemaltecas (kind of like a beef stew) and taro nachos were our favorites.

They were out of the Meomi Chardonnay but he brought out a substitute that wasn't on the menu. It was a nice light Chardonnay that went well with the food. If you're looking for Latin cuisine in Highland Village, give this place a try.

My oh my this place is something else…read more.. My husband had a work conference here at the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center so we packed our bags and my toddler and I came too. I was looking into pictures of this place and was so confused as to what was the resort and what wasn't. There's no way all these pictures that look like different places can be all in one place... well my friends... it is. As we pulled up, I realized just how big this place is and I got really excited to go inside and finally figure out what's what. This place is gorgeous. Part of it looks like a lodge, part of it looks like a mall, part of it looks like a convention center... because it is, part of it looks like a hotel, part of it looks like the riverwalk, etc... and yet it all blends together seamlessly. There are 4 main restaurants, at least 2 bars, two coffee shops, one is also a marketplace, shops that sells clothes, a kids store, an arcade, a spa, a gym, a FedEx business center, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, another restaurant down the street that is also part of the resort, a water park down the street that is part of the resort... I'm FOR SURE forgetting something... or multiple somethings. There's no way to do it all in a week while also attending a conference. So we didn't hit up everything. It's okay though, my toddler mostly wanted to just walk around. Nonstop. There's plenty to see by doing that. There's a scavenger hunt that you can do, a virtual animal safari, model trains that we stopped to watch multiple times, a mini Build-A-Bear Workshop right in the middle of things... I'm telling you, this place has it all. We arrived on a Monday, left on a Friday, and didn't have enough time to do and see everything. We ate at 3 of the 4 main restaurants. We tried to eat at the Riverwalk Cantina - and I was admittedly most excited about that one. However, the first two nights they were having a buffet. We wanted to order from the menu. We said we'd come back. The third night my husband had a business meeting at the steakhouse so that was a no go. The fourth night we went down there to eat... they were closed. Getting ready for a private event. *sad face* We left the next day and never got the chance to try it out. Things are a bit pricey, but you pay a convenience fee, and the fact that they literally had everything we needed in one place without leaving the resort was just that... convenient. So I wasn't complaining, especially with a two-year-old in tow. Even the option to have food delivered to your room was great since I could order breakfast to be delivered before my kiddo woke up for the day. The room was nice. It was pretty modern and spacious. We were on the first floor so it was also convenient. We didn't have a fancy view. It was a side parking lot, but the fact that it was part of a block of rooms reserved for the conference meant that we weren't expecting a room with a view or anything. I slept comfortably, but brought my own pillow which I believe was a big part of my comfort. My husband said the typical hotel bed was too hard. It wasn't as enjoyable of a sleeping situation for him. I could've stayed longer and been just fine lol. Anyways, I know this review is very long and I'll cut it off here, but I will say that there are so many more things I could say, but you just have to experience this place for yourself. I will review the restaurants we tried separately. Texan Station Sports Bar & Grill Zeppole Old Hickory Steakhouse
