I know this post may cause some locals to be upset as Mr. Taco has been a favorite of many for a while but after visiting this evening I will never be returning. As we sat down to have dinner with our family and on our second serving of tortilla chips sitting right on top of a chip was an object that to the naked eye looks exactly like a rat dropping. My 5 year old daughter actually grabbed this chip and showed it to me thankfully before biting into it. I took the chip from her and my mother removed it off of the chip and onto a napkin. She smudged it a bit with the napkin and it smeared. (As shown in picture) . We brought this to the attention of a waitress who was disgusted but stated she didn't believe it was a rat dropping because it wasn't very black but likely a bug but still showed disgust. (As if this was much better). The napkin with the dropping was left with waitress but I eventually requested it back because it just didn't sit right with me. We chose to keep our order in place since it was late and we still weren't sure if this was in fact what it appeared to be (we eventually regretted this). Our table was the table closest to the bar area which was closed to the public for the evening. The occasional staff member would go back and forth inside this area which could be seen by customers as it has a glass door and several windows. At the end of our meal and while paying we sat and talked a bit while waiting for our card to be processed and 3 of us saw a rat in the bar area running and going underneath the fridge. Total shock but so disgusted because this just confirms our suspicions that likely it was rat dropping on our tortilla chips! We notified our waitress who had already informed us that the manager was not on duty but would be in the morning and we could contact her then. She apologized deeply but we know it isn't the staff's fault. I will be contacting the manager at Mr. Taco in the morning to address this but also the health department to see if they can test this napkin with dropping to confirm whether or not it is what it appears to be. I'm beyond disgusted. Both my kids, myself, my mother and step dad ate the chips. My mother was visibly disgusted and threw up outside their restaurant. Not to mention they have at least 3 rat boxes outside of their building so it's clear they know they have an infestation problem. Just beware, as we get more information I will update this post. ***Update*** State licensed, well known and reputable pest control business in San Marcos, TX has confirmed from what the inspector can see that it was rodent droppings. Even suggested to the type of rodent it may have been, Norway rat. SMH! Local health inspector has been notified, investigation to follow. *** Last Update*** City health inspector performed an inspection on 11/29/22 and I was informed of their findings. Many violations, confirmed presence of rodents, two live rodents stuck on glue traps in kitchen, rodent droppings and rodent dropping contamination in storage area where to-go containers, Styrofoam, etc., are held. Restaurant was provided with a number of compliances that must be found met upon re-inspection on 12/2/2022.

Outrageously delicious !? Amazingly Authentic! ?? They undoubtedly put their whole heart and soul into each and every recipe. There's a saying that " She cooks with love" as to why someone's cooking is so flavorful. Well you can taste the lineage of love pouring for each and every dish! Definitely the best pastor in town hands down ??
