TAQUITOS TEPA — Restaurant in Schertz

UPDATED REVIEW: 2 Stars (May 2024) The quality and service has diminished greatly. I don't know if it's due to a total change in staff or ownership. Either way, this is not the same as it once was. It's bad.

The noticeable changes started earlier this year. I've been to this food truck numerous times and I believed the drop in quality and service was just a one-off. But I was wrong... it seems to be a permanent thing.

Examples: The Quesabirria tacos have completely changed. They were once full and oozing of cheese and stuffed with Birria. Now the fillings barely fill have the tortilla. The tortillas aren't dipped in the consome and they're definitely not grilled like a quesadilla would be. With my most recent order, the "quesabirria" tacos were just regular tacos with hardly any consome poured over the tacos. That is not how quesabirria tacos are made! The consome itself is flavorless - it tastes like red-colored salt water with cilantro sprinkled in it.

The cheese used in the nachos dries and hardens rather quickly. if you're not eating immediately after the container is handed to you, you're going to have a solid chuck of cheese mixed with tortilla chips and a bit of meat. Yes, you read that right... the amount of meat (whatever your choice) added to the nachos is small. Nowhere near the amount it used to be. These aren't nachos anymore. I would describe it as mostly cheese with tortilla chips and a sprinkle of meat.

The tortillas for the mini tacos are hardly warmed up or not at all. I received tacos with tortillas that seemed like they were pulled straight out of a package... room temperature at best. They're not in their usual state with a bit of oil and a recognizable cooked-on-the-grill texture and warmth.

Overall, I'm giving up on this spot. Something changed and I'm not a fan of the new service and food. I'm sure plenty of people still enjoy the food here and the business will continue. I won't be returning.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 Stars (July 2023) The tacos are delicious; the nachos are delicious; the quesabirria is also delicious! Stop by this truck when you're in the mood for cheap and very good and delicious food - you won't be disappointed. The staff is friendly and accommodating - they will customize your order...

Beautifully plated, but unfortunately lacking.

We got 2 orders of (5) Mini (steet) Tacos - one set of Al Pastor, and the other of the Carne Asada. We also ordered one Chicken Mini Taco - just try it.

All of the meat, but especially the chicken, was incredibly dry - nearly choked on that dang bird. The corn tortillas were strangely mushy and didn't have that pop of flavor that I expected.

There were photos of the Al Pastor having slices of pineapple, but my plate had none, and the taste didn't resemble much of Al Pastor. These tacos also had cheese on the taco, though I asked for it on the side.

I requested to try all 4 salsas, but was given no Mild Red Salsa, and no Spicy Red Salsa. Just a couple of each the Green Salsa and the Guacamole Salsa. Neither had much heat, which I wouldn't have expected, but these tacos really needed that bite of flavor.

Lastly was the rice. I'm weirdly obsessed with rice, I don't know why. This was also bland and could have been cooked a bit longer - maybe with a stock instead of water, toasting the rice beforehand, or just some tomato and/or chicken bouillon. A jalapeño while it's cooking does wonders, too.

Anyhow, the online menu was difficult to order from. I think I paid extra for things they would have already given me, and got things that I did not request.

I'm still incredibly grateful for the meal - so thank you for cooking for us and filling our tummies! I still want some red...

So I originally gave them 5 stars but I am revisiting this review. First time I ate here it was amazing. But now? Ive been back to it and it is nothing like it was the next few times I went going back a year. The Quesabirria tacos have no burnt cheese on the outside like before and, no cheese at all on it. The consume tastes like something out of a ramen packet and the meat is mid. I dont know who took over this operation but it went downhill BAD!!! On top of this change in quality, they got my order wrong and shorted me on items I paid extra for then I stood there waiting for the items as people came, ordered waited and got their items as my meal sat getting cold at the table waiting for the few items I ALREADY PAID FOR and took them almost 20 mins to get. And get this it was just a cup of consume and grilled onions. Cant eat Quesabirria without consume. Well by the time I did get it everything else was cold and I decided to go home and redo everything in the airfryer. I wont be going back this was just a bad experience. And its sad because my first few times coming here were awesome. Now? No the last year or two this operation has gone downhill horribly. It really is sad cuz few locations did it as good as...
