Went on Taco Tuesday for dinner. There was only one other customer there, so I was a bit skeptical…read more Not skeptical enough to not order a bunch of food though. I tried a variety of their meats by ordering Lengua, Barbacoa, and Trompo tacos. I got greedy and also ordered a Fajita torta. Also, added a Jamaica juice. The tacos good, the torta was good too, and the juice was not too sweet or too tarty. Cant stop thinking about the tacos, so I'll definitely be making this a regular stop!

I initially discovered Mr. Tako upon my adventure for finding the best Mexican restaurant near me…read more They are a small restaurant, nothing fancy here however I love the customer service you are immediately greeted with a friendly smile by the cashier. The prices have gone up, recently my neighbor and I ordered two taco meals that consists of three street tacos with rice and beans, the price used to be $7.99 and is now $10.99. House Platter special-Tacos ordered were the El Pastor, Beef Fajita, and Chorizo-Second order the same with the exception of Carnitas were added. They include beans and rice however a very small portion for what they charge. This is still a great brick and mortar find in McKinney the flavors are on point I would just ask for larger portions.

I was in McKinney on business and a quick Yelp search found Big Tacos. I love tacos, who doesn't,…read moreso this was an easy choice. I ordered the Fiesta Bowl. Not a taco, but all the inside goodness. I chose carnitas as the meat. I think I made a good choice. The bowl is huge. And not all lettuce n tomatoes. Lots of meat, good refried beans, corn, shredded cheese, tortilla strips, pico and yes, lettuce n tomato's. I don't often not clean the plate, but I did this day. Again a lot of food. Pricing - a bit pricy - w/ tip, $20. But, they do deliver to the table so there's that. Good food but pricy.

I visited Mexican Cactus Taco Bar expecting your typical strip mall taco joint with decent tacos…read moreand some TVs to watch a World Cup match, but WOW did I underestimate what I was in for. I knew from the second we walked in, based on the list of made-in-house horchatas and agua frescas, that we were going to be in for a good meal. The menu was refreshingly unique compared to your basic street taco style setup or the usual Tex-Mex mashup of inauthentic tacos topped with shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Our group of 3 adults, plus my 7 year old niece, shared a bowl of guacamole, which was phenomenal and came mixed with sunflower seeds and topped with crumbled cotija, alongside house-made corn tortilla chips. We also split an elote cup, which was great. My wife got a classic horchata, which was deliciously sweet (but not overly so) with a nice slight punch of cinnamon. I went with water but will definitely try an agua fresca next time. I ordered two tacos, both on house-made flour tortillas (I like corn tortillas but prefer flour when made fresh). The Pollo Azteca, with marinated grilled chicken tenderloin, mango pico, and a drizzle of crema, was phenomenal, and had more flavor than most chicken tacos I've had before. The star of my meal, however, was the Al Pastor, with adobo marinated pork tenderloin, diced pineapple, onions, and cilantro, with a slice of lime to squeeze on top. This was hands down one of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. I was floored. I also tried my wife's Carne Asada tacos, which came topped with cilantro and onions, and a slice of lime, on their house made corn tortillas. The steak was incredibly flavorful, and the corn tortillas were tender without being chewy. We shared a side of rice and beans, which was good, but not the star of the show. The rice was your typical Mexican yellow rice, and the beans were more of a soupy whole-beans style, which reminded me of my Colombian mother-in-law's recipe. The staff makes four homemade salsas, ranging from mild to pretty spicy, and I loved all of them with the exception of the mild. My niece got the kids' cheese quesadilla, which was a simple melted Oaxaca cheese between a flour tortilla, served with rice, beans, and a little side of crema. The last thing I will rave about is the service. The staff was incredibly nice from the minute we walked in, pleasant to talk to when delivering our order and asking how everything was tasting, to the moment we bussed our tables and headed for the door. I cannot wait to come back again, and I hope they stay very busy until I'm able to do so, because I want this place to be around for a very long time!

Tons of space for our group of 16. We ordered Sopes, Pozole, Tostadas, Tacos, Gorditas, Carne Asada. EVERY SINGLE THING THAT SAT ON OUT TABLE WAS DELICIOUS! The Agua de Pepino AMAZING!

Side note: the bill is slightly cheaper if you pay with cash. 10/10 would recommend

From a chef, thats been eating and preparing authentic Mexican food on the border from Baja Norte &…read moreBaja Sur, to San Diego, to AZ, to TX: Just plain awful and beyond bland al pastor burritos: - No salt in anything so no flavor pops at all - Meat has next to no flavor - Salsa is literally flavorless, tastes like water mixed with capsaicin - Burritos are tiny for $9 even though menu says $8 - No cheese in burritos even though it's listed - Beans are pinto as if they're out of a can, not cooked down and refried with spices and fat as they're supposed to be - Guacamole is literally, I kid you not, significantly less than 10% avocado. Its just tomato, onion and cilantro with no more than a wisp like wipe of avocado. You literally cannot get any avocado on a spoon out of it if you tried- I tried- it was impossible - Spanish Rice is sorely lacking enough tomato - Scant amounts of each mediocre ingredient per burrito An absolute crime against Mexican food. How on earth this place sells anything, let alone to the Mexican community is utterly beyond me in a way I will never understand. I want you to know, this review is not written with any measure of anger- this is purely emotional unfathomable disappointment. In fact, I tried not to write any of this, because the staff are truly some of the absolute kindest and most endearing people I've ever met. But it had to be said. The food is nothing short of a tragedy. If staff reads this, please know I mean this all with no animosity towards any of you or your business. And to be frank, I would come in and provide recipes, demonstrations and training to the chefs completely free of charge, for no other reason than one, it honestly needs to happen even if Im not the one doing it, and two, I must restate that the people working here are some of the friendliest people on earth, and I would truly love to see all who work here succeed greatly, because people that wonderful deserve all the success in the world. Good luck guys.

My first time visiting this location and the experience went very well…read more Service was pleasant and the staff were friendly. It was clean and quiet for my quick lunch. It wasn't crowded and I appreciated this. I was off to a good start. My food was how I requested it. I like the slow roasted angus brisket taco. It has the perfect flavor and ingredients. However, I substitute the brisket for their rotisserie chicken. My spin on this taco is delicious. The chicken is cooked with love and well seasoned. Plus the avocado, corn pico, queso blanco, cilantro and cheese on an encrusted flour tortilla adds the perfect balance. This taco is amazing and I love the texture of the cheese tortilla. I really enjoyed each bite and the sauce was spicy and hot like I like it. Velvet Taco never gets old. I left happy and satisfied.

The restaurant was clean, with creative wall murals and paintings. Staff was kind and communicative. We ordered the elote, steak bowl, rotisserie chicken bowl, and birria and salmon tacos.

Would recommend the tacos over the bowls!

If you think you've had excellent birria at other places--I promise you, you've had nothing until you've had theirs.
