While passing thru town we decided to stop for a geocache. This place is right at GZ, so we got food and something to drink. Union hall has lots of different food and drink spots inside. We ended up getting tacos. Staff was very friendly. The food was so delicious. Loved the tacos. Also got a purple margarita that went perfectly with the tacos. It was strong also. If I lived in Waco, I'd be at this place all the time. Great spot to hang with a group of friends who all want something different to eat.

Decent taco. Fresh tasting, would have been better if the beef would have been seasoned a bit more. Tacos were amply loaded up with beef, peppers ad onions. I do like the Union Hall Food Mall in general and would return if ever in Waco again.

$4.50 for one little taco
Lucinda Y.

For what they charge, they need to include a few chips with the order. Almost $5.00 for one small tacos. Portions are not generous for what you pay. Also, there are no salsas or spicy sauces to dress your tacos. The food is a solid 3, good ingredients cooked right. but because the stakes for tacos in Texas are pretty high, gotta give this place a 2 star due to the high prices. Korean taco: delicious, but does not taste explicitly Korean Hatch Chili: could use some more hatch chili factor, but good Chicken Fajita: would have been better with some salsa roja. Well cooked

Chicken Ranchero Taco
Ellie F.

With so many choices in Union Hall I decided this looked best for lunch. Didn't think it was going to be just one taco for the price but I divided the filling between the two tortillas. And even though I ordered Chicken Ranchero Tacos there really wasn't Ranchero, just a regular chicken taco.

Great good friendly customer service they definitely explained the menu well and helped with all the questions I had. Will definitely be coming back in the future!! Exactly cheese dip and chips

Taco and elote
Ellen L.

I walked all around Union court to see what the best options were. This place had a consistent line and plenty of people eating at their tables so I took my chances. The server was really friendly and made recommendations for me. I had their popular Korean taco and the elote in a cup was some of the best I've ever had, not too much cream with a good balance of corn to seasoning.

10+ $ worth of food?

Not worth the money. $5 for a single taco, Portion for the walking taco is significantly smaller than before and cost over $10, asked the older guy that's always there if they changed it and he just shook his head no and didn't look at me. Poor customer service, my families restaurant would never handle a situation like that. Won't be eating here again. There are better options that give way more value.

Very poor customer service, running a restaurant is alot more than just cooking. Food is mediocre at best.

I often go here for breakfast (they have the best breakfast taco deal), lunch, or dinner! I love…read morethat there's a drive-thru because it's so convenient. The ladies are very nice and always get the food out quickly. The breakfast tacos are great, and I do think the fajita tacos and quesadilla are pretty delicious as well. Their red and green salsas are the bomb!

We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

The gentleman who runs it and is the Chef makes everything from scratch. I knew it was gonna be…read moregood when I got the Agua Fresca, with mango, it was so fresh and amazing. Also, I got the yucca chips which came with three different sauces. That were just a perfect compliment. Then I had the beef empanada that came with a spiced cheese sauce, refried beans and some amazing rice. Normally when I get stuff like that, I'll just skip the rice and beans... But these were amazing. The rice cooked perfectly it wasn't overcooked or mushy. And the refried beans was smooth yet tasty. Not bland. The empanadas were handmade tortillas that were created and the deep-fried and came on a bed of shredded cabbage, which kept it from getting mushy on the bottom and allowed for the empanada to cool without becoming soggy. And the sauce is the cheese pickled onions on top were just an amazing combination. And then I had gotten the tacos and I thought it was like one taco each, but each taco was like huge. I got a chicken mole taco, and I got al paster pork taco, and finally I got a shrimp taco. Thinking they would be small, but they came on lettuce and we're all amazing and fresh. He asked me if I thought I was gonna eat all this by myself and I was laughing and think one empanada ...no, it came with three. And the tacos came with came with an amazing fresh piece of watermelon seasoned with spices. It was an amazing feast. He is such a gifted Chef. The seating is in the union so it's like a big hub where you can try different kinds of restaurants. And I walked around for a while before I pick this one, but his food just looks so fresh and tasty and it was. I am so glad I picked him. Definitely gonna have to come back and try the rest of his food and I suggest that you give him a try to cause this place is amazing and needs to be experienced. And don't miss dessert... The churros and ice cream are amazing

Awesome food. Presentation was killer, and we dug the vibe. Service was also even better than it…read moreneeded to be. Will definitely go back!
