    Stopped in while passing through town. So glad I did! Very clean and pleasant dining area. The staff is very friendly and polite. It was lunchtime and there were only 4 other parties in the restaurant. Food came out quickly and with a nice presentation. I had the birria taco plate. Awesome taste and plenty of food with the three taco. Served with chips and salsa and under $13 with water to drink. Overall a great experience and highly recommend.

    Asada Burrito

    This place is amazing! Fabulous staff, and yummmmmmy food. The burritos are soooooo good. The tortilla shells are clearly homemade and taste incredible. Skip the tacos and get a burrito. They also have great salsa and queso. My kiddos love the queso. Great place all around that I will now frequent.

    Wako Taco: My Grandma Might Be Offended, But She'll Understand I never give perfect reviews. Even my grandma's cooking gets a 9.5 just to keep her humble. But Wako Taco? It's a 10 out of 10 no joke!, just wow. We came in for breakfast, and from the first bite, I felt like I was back in my grandma's kitchen... if her kitchen had a designer's touch and a brunch menu that could win awards. I had the huevos rancheros with egg whites, and let me tell you, even with the healthy twist, the flavors were rich, bold, and so authentically Mexican it made me want to call my tia choocha and brag. My husband had the chilaquiles, and I didn't get more than one bite before he protected his plate like it was his last meal. That's how you know it's good. And then there was the French toast.. we split it for "dessert" (because that's a thing now), and it was pure, cinnamon-kissed, crispy-edged happiness. The vibe? Elevated but warm. Classy without being pretentious. This place knows who it is, and it's not trying too hard--it's just that good. Wako Taco didn't just impress me it rewrote my breakfast standards. Can't wait to come back for lunch and start a new love story with the tacos. Sorry, Grandma

    Very delicious.

    I had 3 tacos asada and a flan. Delicious. The salsa with the pre-meal chips was especially good. Toppings were available for the flan but I declined. If I come back to Waco, I want to eat here again; after having their lunch I would like to try breakfast; they're open 6-9 most days.

    Plastic found in Birria Tacos

    After visiting many times before I've never had any issues, but today I found three pieces of plastic, maybe from a grill brush, in my birria tacos. This is extremely concerning and a food hazard.

    I had the Baylor Taco plate. Homemade tortillas. Great Tacos!! Sirloin tacos with Cilantro and onions.

    Birria Taco Plate

    A little pricey but everything was exceptional so no complaints! The food was delicious, I got birria tacos. The service was as prompt as could be during lunch rush. The ambiance was cute, local taco restaurant with inside and outside seating. Definitely a return spot for when I'm in the area!

    Ordered takeout birria taco plates. The tacos and consommé were very tasty but overly salty. Otherwise the flavor was amazing.

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.

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

We had indoor reservations and moved them outside to the patio just 5 hours before our dinner, as we had enjoyed the patio the prior evening.
