taqueria don beto II — Restaurant in Louisiana

Since discovering this wonderful place over two years ago my wife and I eat here virtually EVERY week. In fact, the motto in our house is "If it's Thursday, it's Don Beto". We love everything we have ever tried at this restaurant, which is every taco and enchilada they offer as well as the beans, which are BY FAR the best I have ever had and the rice. The wait staff are super friendly, in particular Tanya, Erica, and Jackie, with Erica typically knowing my order and my name with only the mere the sound of my voice over the phone. The proprietors are also super cool and friendly, especially Bethany, "the white lady", who does not seem to mind her moniker in the least. Wait times for call in orders are always super quick and the food simply never disappoints. The bottled Mexican cokes offered remind this 50+ year old of his youth, when cokes were made with real sugar and not high fructose corn syrup. Treat yourself to a bottle on your next visit. This is authentic Mexican food at its best, made with pride and passion, that I never tire of. Tomorrow is Thursday, by the way, and I will be there come hell...

When I transferred to Cali, a majority of our meals were from 2 taquerias. Authentic, homey, hole in the wall spots that most wouldn’t think to try (one had drive thru micheladas.) When I decided to move South, my family relocated from Mississippi to the smallest town in Louisiana.

I was so worried I wouldn’t find another spot like my prior favorites. I relocated to Gonzales and let me tell you, I did not expect Don Beto’s. My go to is their gorditas (lengua, barbacoa, and tripita). I crave those damn things. They are absolutely addicting but I may be slightly bias because they offer my mandatory meat preferences lmao. Anyways, clearly you can tell I love to eat and give absolute credit where it is due and...

It's not a typical American joint... you are going to get authentic Mexican food... the El pastor in my opinion was good but I didn't care for how it was prepared,, (cubed) but it was good,,, my wife had the chicken tacos she thoroughly enjoyed them,, watch out for the green sauce at the table... quite hot... we went with the red.. kinda had a kick at the back end but very tasty... I will definitely be coming back to try others..they also have a food truck on airline I want to...
