“ Food was great, fresh and authentic ”
“ Local gem of a spot - they got everything you could ever want. Great people and amazing food. ”
“ This was the 3rd year in a row we have catered from Texaquito. Work with me to create an appropriate catering menu for my parties and have fair prices. The food is always delicious. Chips, salsa, guac, jalapeno poppers, empanadas, taco bar with hard and soft shell options, roasted chicken, beef, fajita veggies, churros, and all the fixings plus many options of sauces. Also, needed some options dairy free and they accommodated with no issues. Have also done regular take out - burrito, quesadilla. All excellent! ”
“ I go here every Tuesday for tacos. They used to be two dollar tacos now is three dollar tacos honestly, I think it was better when it was two dollar tacos. They didn’t cut up the chicken meat like they do now and now that is a dollar more I feel like I’m getting less than what I usually got, but I still like the tight tacos. I’ll probably won’t go there as much now because I feel like I’m getting robbed with the meat on a taco plus the beef has too much juice. They need to drain the beef a little bit more other than that the staff is handsome & good vibes. ”
“ This was my family’s first time trying and it was amazing! I got the cali burrito and it was so good, my daughter loved the cheese quesadilla and French fries. The churros were my favorite. Definitely will be going back ”
“ Some of the best Birria tacos I’ve ever had ”
“ The place is good for groups of 4 or less. Honestly only came here for a small meal and it blew me out the park. Best chicken AND beef empanada around with little fillers. Absolutely great experience. ”
“ This is one of my favorite places. This place makes me happy every Tuesday. Best tacos in Suffolk! Hands down! Two dollar Tuesday specials here are amazing. You still get the same great taco that they normally give during the rest of the week! These tacos are made with love, I swear! The young lady that works here is always pleasant! ”
