Taqueria Los 4 Vientos — Restaurant in Edinburg

Taqueria los 4 vientos is pleasantly nestled away at 525 west Monte Cristo in edinburg, tx. At a glance it may appear that perhaps at one time or another it was probably an oil change facility, however, the owner I'm certain used this design to his advantage! The building itself has 7 garage doors that stay open during business hours ...11 large tables occupy the dining area on tile floor..the breeze is comforting..at the same time you could smell the food cooking in the kitchen..yane and Marissa were more than accommodating and the food I ordered was more than acceptable it was actually superb...whereas other restaurants mask the flavor with mere salt and pepper...this restaurant exercises delicate balance in the fashion the food is spiced to perfection! The music in the background made me just want to sit there and not get up...everything was made fresh to order. I've only been here twice for breakfast. ..I ordered breakfast tacos which were very very large..I would estimate the tortillas were about 12 inches in diameter unbeknownst to me! Absolutely delicious! !!! The owner had an idea that turned out very well,to be qiute honest with you in my opinion. ...absolutely brilliant...really the design and operation is very interesting. .don't be fooled! This food is really good! Average cost for a huge taco and drink is about $3.50 and about $5.50 for 2 huge tacos and drink. ..Oh,they have...

My friends and I stopped by for tacos on Saturday night. We were five adults and one child. My friends daughter ordered a burger which she loved and ate up. My friends and I all ordered tacos, one sincronizada and two papas. The food was mediocre. The bistec had lots of nerve, and was hard to enjoy as I kept pulling hard to chew nerve out of my mouth from the tacos. The menu said charro beans came with every order but we weren’t served beans.

The service was terrible. Our waitress had an unwelcoming tone, look and barely made eye contact. I was timid to bother her to ask for a cup of ice, a straw, salsa verde, the beans etc. because she looked grouchy and really I just didn’t want to bother her. Lesson learned and next time I’ll have to speak up. Maybe she was having a bad day which brought on her bad attitude. I really wanted to get up and go elsewhere for tacos but we drove a long way there and we had already ordered. I didn’t want to tip much but I tipped her well over what I should’ve because I decided to choose kindness instead.

Moral of my story, we won’t...

Hadn’t been to Taqueria Los Cuatro Vientos in a while and today we decided to go for a delicious baked potatoes and tacos. My husband ordered Reynosa style tacos and I ordered the made tortilla...first, they took forever to make our tacos, we were served the baked potatoe that literally was a pool of butter, sour cream and cheese...Disgusting!!! The meat in the tacos had no flavor whatsoever...not even after pouring the last drop of Lemon juice over them made a difference. My son who is a “Sincronizada” lover ordered one today. He asked after giving his first few bites to the huge taco, “Is this a vegetable Sincronizada??? Indeed...there was hardly any meat in it. Not going back to this place again. Oh and that’s because I was already forgetting to mention the bad customer service...
