Gio's Taqueria — Restaurant in Carrollton

Gio's Taqueria We came this way for a softball practice. We usually don't come this direction much. I always want to review a Mexican restaurant when I'm somewhere new. This time my wife found the place. She is starting to enjoy the reviews too. I hope this helps.

Food:

Salsa - The salsa wasn't as chunky as I usually like it. It was watery. But, it was delicious. I don't care what I thought salsa should be. This is what salsa should be. The flavor was great. It wasn't very spicy. And it was served warm. But I are it up.

Bistek tacos - The Bistek tacos were good. They weren't as good as the pork tacos. I've had better steak tacos. If I come back I'll be eating the pork tacos and crossing my fingers that they had the pork tamales.

Pork tacos - The pork tacos were the best thing I tried. I dare say, the best thing on the menu. They were out of pork Tamales so maybe next time on this. But my wife and I both loved these.

Rice - The rice was traditional Mexican style rice. This was a very nostalgic flavor. But they didn't make a statement here.

Beans - The beans were great. These was better than traditional beans. I'm not sure what they add but it had great flavor. My wife and I both agreed on this

Elote - My wife got this item. I am not a fan. She said it was okay but not great. She said the corn tasted like it was canned corn. She likes corn off the cob.

Review: I give Gio's Taqueria a 8.2 out of 10. I would absolutely come back here. The service was great. The atmosphere was exactly what I expect from a Mexican restaurant. The...

My hubby and I were working in the area and decided to find a very small Mexican restaurant to eat at, and we found this amazing place!!! The food was SO GOOD, especially the ground beef tacos with lime squeezed on top, and the service was impeccable!! But the thing we were most impressed by was how CLEAN it was!!! We are so used to trying places and looking around to see dust everywhere, but it was obvious that they actually pay attention to the details, not just the simple surface things. That's not something you see very much anymore. And again, the server was on point. We got the 20 taco special, which he asked if we wanted some to go, and he even staggered the to go order tacos so that they were fresh when we left. If you want a delicious meal on a clean restaurant with attentive service, but isn't packed like the larger restaurants, then this is your place. We will definitely be back when we're...

First time eating Mexican in Dallas. I’ve had way better back home in Mo. i sat for 20 minutes at a dirty table (because that’s all that was available) before even being greeted or given a menu. Their queso is velveta cheese! They soaked my chimichanga in it even after I complained about the cup I ordered for my chips and told them I didn’t like it. So disappointed. All I wanted was some authentic Mexican. It was so Americanized they should really let people know it’s just Tex-Mex. And I’ve had way better Tex Mex. What a waste of money and time. I couldn’t even eat it. And if you order sweet tea it’s out of a fountain not freshly brewed. Which was my fault because I should have asked. Trust me find...
