    Street Tacos and Aguas Fresca
    Julie T.

    Let me start by saying this: when you order from a taco place, you order tacos. And that's exactly what we did--a shit ton of street tacos. Half fajita, half chicken, because balance, right? Now, a little background for context: my fiancée is Hispanic. When it comes to tacos, the bar isn't just high--it's orbiting somewhere near Jupiter. So trust me when I say this place was fantastic. We had the food delivered, and when it arrived, it was like Christmas morning but with the intoxicating smell of tacos instead of pine trees. The bag came packed with a million and one salsas and enough onions and cilantro to make me question if I should finally buy stock in Tupperware. It was perfect. The tacos? Chef's kiss. Every bite was pure joy. The fajita meat was flavorful and tender, and the chicken had me convinced it had been blessed by a taco deity. I could've eaten the entire order myself if my stomach hadn't politely (and repeatedly) asked me to stop shoveling food into it. To top it off, we tried their aguas frescas. My fiancée went with the horchata, and I opted for the pineapple. Let me tell you--that pineapple agua fresca was life-changing. Sweet, fresh, and so flavorful it made me feel like I'd just hacked life by choosing this place tonight. If you're in Arlington and haven't tried Tic-Taco yet, do yourself a favor. Order a shit ton of tacos, revel in the salsas, and maybe grab an agua fresca or two. You won't regret it. 10/10. Would happily overeat here again.

    This place is a local gem, I am so glad they opened in central Arlington and have been here for a little while. I always get the quesabirria with a agua fresca which you can never go wrong with a horchata or the pineapple. The tacos are consistently crunchy on the outside and warm and gooey cheesy goodness in the middle, but add those chopped veggies and hot sauces -- it's game over. The elote is also not bad, really good for a local spot imo! Go check TT out :)

    I can only say great stuff about this place!!! EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS! I love their food their service their waters! You need to try this place

    I found this spot on Yelp. I craved Birrias for about 3 days. I went through several listings, then any, many, miney, moe, I chose this location. One reason it wasn't far from home. I walked in and the two ladies were very welcoming. One of the servers went over the menu on the screen. The first thing I spotted was the Watermelon water. I normally make this at home. It's healthy. Lol! Now, the additions, I can't say the same. I ordered the Birria taco...yes, it's good. The sauce was bland needing something to give it a spark. The chips are authentic and delicious. The chorizoqueso...omg! All you need is that and you are done. The place was clean so far. I did carryout. Stop by and have lunch...thank me later.

    I ordered two tacos with asada (cut up steak). Plate came with a serving of beans and a serving of rice. Also had two different types of salsa for the tacos. I used both. The green is hotter. The beans alone were delicious. I added some rice to them at the end. That was good, too. This is a small restaurant, but they used real plates and cutlery, no plastic cutlery here! Quick service, too.

    I just wanted to update my review after being here several times now. Basically, my first impression was spot on. Every time we've come back, the food was spot on and the staff was friendly. Just a great place!

    Blue fluffy quesadillas
    Barb A.

    First time for us at Tic-Taco. It is a small restaurant but very clean and welcoming. You order at the counter. They are very friendly and will walk you thru the menu. I ordered the Blue Fluffy Quesadilla with carnitas. It was really good. It tastes somewhat like a thicker empanadas. I really liked them. The rice and beans were tasty. My friend ordered the 3 Tic-Tacos. She had the Asada, Carnitas, and Suadero. She really liked the Suadero taco. She also really liked the rice and beans. Her favorite of all was the Pineapple fruit slush ( water). We enjoyed eating here and will be back to try more dishes.

    AMAZING. Our family went after mass this morning and we were very pleasantly surprised with the flavorful, perfectly cooked, and well presented food! We also got the queso chorizo but devoured it before I could take a picture. The service was great! The owner was extremely helpful and welcoming, and his wife was so kind and attentive. Their waitress was quick and friendly as well! We enjoyed everything we ordered. Great price and great food! My brothers loved the pizzadilla, and I loved the quesabirria a lot! Highly recommend!

    The food was fresh and had great flavor. The street tacos were a bit small. The pizzadillla taco was huge. The owner was super nice and welcoming. Food came out quickly.

    We arrived 30 mins before closing. Other restaurants would've rushed us out. The server was the opposite. She was fantastic. She went over the menu in detail. The food tasted as good as it looked. It was cooked to perfection and filled with flavor. Glad to have found this little gem.

    The service was amazing. The food was good. The food is IG worthy, but the flavors don't match the beauty of the plates.

    The quesabirria is tasty. The owner and staff are friendly. The price is reasonable. You can get good deals on Tuesdays or on Groupon.

    The place is loud but I'm old. It's across the street from a high school. The food is great and the drinks are even better.

    Moved to Arlington in the last year, and I'm so grateful family members told me this restaurant was…read morehere! They're always so clean, the music isn't too loud and the whole place smells delicious. I was able to order 6lbs of Pollo and 8lbs Bistek on a Thursday after 5pm, for a party on Saturday 1pm. It's so worth the time and it came out very savory and fresh. This place is amazing for takeout or dine in; just be aware that they're rightfully busy! Please have patience with the staff, they're so kind and helpful all the time.

    Found this place on yelp. They had high reviews so I decided to give it a try. Everything was okay…read more Nothing really stood out. The salsa was tasty and spicy. The tacos weren't overly greasy. I got the 5 taco plate with beans and rice it was 15.99 but with tax and tip it came closer to $20 (no drink included). The two meats I got were barbacoa and bistec. The texture of the bistec was chopped very finely (I'm use to bigger pieces). Both meats were soft and "juicy" (I felt like they were watery) they didn't hold much flavor. The tortillas were fairly good. The space is really big and clean, the employees were very nice. I wish I would've liked the tacos more but they just weren't for me! However, they might be for you, so I would still stop by and give them a try! Maybe you will have better luck or pick a better item on the menu! They did have a lot to choose from.
