Tacos & Beer — Restaurant in Beaumont

Stopped here for a quick to go order based on the recommendation of an acquaintance.

The order was definitely not quick. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our food. Unfortunately, the story gets worse.

There was a party of four that walked in the door while we were in line ordering our food. They got in line behind us. That party of four was sitting down and eating their food before we got ours! All we ordered was one burrito and one taco, to go.

Before we got our food, I inquired with the cashier as to why the party of four got their food before us. She said they came in and ordered before us!

They did NOT order before us! We were ordering our food as they walked in the door! I said that to the cashier and she adamantly said… “No, they ordered before you!!” I almost asked that party to see the receipt so I could show the cashier the timestamp to prove that she was wrong. She just gave us a nasty look and insisted those people order before us. They definitely did not! The customer is always right? Not here!

To top it off, the food was mediocre at best. The chicken was very dry and the burrito was not wrapped tightly at all.

Needless to say… We will not be returning back to this place ever again and I would not recommend...

Wonderful food! The table side Holy Guacamole is awesome, the Esquite Queso Fundido (melted cheese dip) is the best fundido we've ever had anywhere, the Mojarra Frita (whole fried fish) was so fresh and crispy, and the Flan was the perfect texture with a caramel sauce that had that proper slightly burnt flavor of a good homemade recipe. My strawberry-guava Agua Fresca was sweet and tart and full of so many fruit pieces, so fresh.

BE WARNED: this is not a fast food restaurant. Don't expect to get in and get out. It's a place to enjoy your experience, sip your beer or fruit water, snack on your complimentary chips with salsa and beans, and converse with your companion while waiting for your fresh made food (they literally make the tortillas fresh for each order, THAT fresh). This isn't a two-dollar side-of-the-road taco truck. They use fresh, high quality ingredients for homemade, made-to-order food. It's a truly lovely experience in the Mexican style of not rushing your meal and enjoying the experience.

As we were leaving, we saw a table getting the Carne Asada plate and the sizzling hot Steak Fajitas plate. Our jaws...

Tacos & Beer is a staple of the local community of Beaumont. Here you can find great Mexican food and a laid back family atmosphere. The food is delicious and the prices are very fair. The staff is courteous and the restaurant in general is kept very clean.

The menu has something for everyone, from meat eaters to vegetarians. Tacos, burritos, sopes, enchiladas, chilaquiles, cocktail de cameron etc. You can find many great specials through the week offering a variety of tastes and experiences. Taco Tuesday... Check. Thursday night is a great time to visit for dinner as there is a live Mariachi band singing and entertaining the entire restaurant. Friday beer specials are sure to get the weekend off to a good start.

The restaurant is CASH ONLY... however, the owners do provide a surcharge free ATM in the entry way. Although the restaurant does not charge a fee to use the ATM, your bank may... Keep in mind, this is not up to the owners but YOUR bank.

Overall, Tacos & Beer is a gem in the city of Beaumont that almost all can find agreeable with quality food and...
