Taqueria Burritos Locos - Grapevine

Genuinely the BEST place to have authentic Mexican food in Grapevine and there's a free mariachi show every Friday night! The menu is reasonably priced and it feels like I'm back home in Mexico every time I eat there. How can you beat that? I won't go to any other Mexican place in Grapevine. This one has my heart.

I was craving street tacos, so I searched online and came across this restaurant that appeared to be an authentic taqueria. I decided to place my order through their website for pickup. However, when I arrived at the restaurant, they informed me that they never received my order and seemed confused about the situation (which I showed them on my phone).

I visited this restaurant about half a dozen times last year. They seemed to try to do things right, but they consistently fell short of expectations. Today was the last straw as it was a series of mistakes. The soda machine was broken, the soda was expired and flat, the food was of poor quality (very dry and practically tasteless), and the service was terrible. Additionally, we had a valid credit to save 20% on the meal, but the staff did not have a card to authorize it. We will not be returning.

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and is easy to locate, with a staff that is friendly. We only tried the gorditas and a drink, but unfortunately they were not exceptional. The meat was dry and there was an excessive amount of skin and fat on the hawn, lacking in spices and flavor. The texture was plain and did not seem fresh. I am not completely opposed to trying other dishes, but I am unsure given this experience. I was disappointed as I had high hopes, especially considering the number of customers at the restaurant.

I absolutely adore this place. I always go for the Carne Asada tacos, at least once a week. It's a great value for bringing the whole family along as well.
