19 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Waco

“We were planning a one day visit to Waco to have breakfast and then visit the Waco Mammoth NM, but it turned out that the restaurant we were planning to visit requires booking few weeks in advance... so we changed our plan and visited first the Waco Mammoth NM and then had lunch.
The thing is that by the time (3 PM) we were ready for the lunch, it was too late for lunch or too early for dinner for most of the restaurants in Waco, therefore they were closed.
Thanks God we found Torchy's Tacos.
I had a Breakfast burrito and my wife a couple of tacos (one Democrat and one steak fajita... the former is like mexican "barbacoa").
My burrito tasted amazing, it was an extraordinary combinations of flavors and textures.
They should include coffee on their beverages options.“

“The queso is the bomb! Good eats for sure!!“

“Food delicious and service was excellent. Very comfortable seating. A real feeling of being welcome.

Parking: Really depends in time of day. The parking closest to resturant fill up quickly. But there is plenty of parking adjacent to resturant.“

“Max was our server tonight and he was excellent! It was super busy and sooo loud for some reason, but he was patient, kind, and got everything out perfectly! Austin was also very helpful! Great food and service all around!“

“Delicious food! Love the salsa! We will be back soon!“

“I enjoyed my meal yesterday in this establishment however I ordered some food to go and I asked for it to be brought to me right before I was ready to go it got brought to me 5 minutes after I got my meal therefore I had to bring home cold food we asked them to put it back under the heat lamp which proceeded to mount the cheese in the taco plate into the styrofoam it was unusable“

“Great food, friendly fast service. They have some great lunch specials named for each of the daughters. My all-time favorite is the "Irene"!“

“Our first time at this particular Chili's and happy to say it was great. Rebecca, our server, was awesome, attentive, and personable. The food and drinks were quick to be served by a friendly food server. The food was exactly how we ordered it and our table of 5 was happy with each order.

As it is also Veterans day, we are thankful that our 2 Veterans were provided for. Thank you Chili's Waco.“

“We have been to Abuelita’s many times and will continue to go back. The food is so good and the service is excellent! I love the Popular Platter and usually have that, we are headed there shortly and I’m thinking I might try something different this time. I do order the frozen blue margarita every time I eat there, except during lunch. My husband really likes the atmosphere as the music is not blaring and we can talk with friends while we eat. My husband usually has the Chile relleno plate along with a friend of ours. If you haven’t been there give it a try I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.“

“The best grilled chicken in Waco at a ridiculously affordable price! You really can't go wrong with the Combo($18) which feeds two to three people.PRO TIP: order a Combo, all green sauce, no reds, then drive up the street(25th is a one way for those who don't know) to La Nueva Michoacana paleteria and buy a large horchata with no ice **chef's kiss**“

“The food was good, but it was Mary’s customer service was five stars. It was a half hour before close, but she was upbeat and pleasant. She was eager offer suggestions and answer our questions. I had never been to Freebirds before, but I’ll go back just because of Mary.“

“I've always loved the food, especially the hot sauce.“
