5 /5 Jungle Explorer: My favorite place to eat in Gonzales so far.
Mr. Taco is a restaurant that truly does not match its name. Taco is in the name, but tacos are minor item on the menu. Mr. Taco has a vast menu spanning everything from seafood to burgers to pancakes. There is something for the whole family at Mr. Taco, even if you are not in the mood for Mexican or Tex Mex.
If you follow my restaurant reviews, you know I am fan of Mexican Caldo. Just call me the Caldo Connoisseur. The Caldo at Mr. Taco is on point. While Gorditas Mexico (Galveston) still weasr the crown as far as the best caldo in Texas, Mr. Taco is right up there with them. Everything else I have eaten at Mr. Taco has been great and the prices are easy on the wallet.
And then there is the Chips. You might be wonder how carn chips can be different. Why they are at Mr. Taco. Unlike every other Mexican restaurant in Texas, Mr. Taco serve Puffed Corn chips. How they get their corn chips to puff up like they do, I do not know. What I do not is I will go there just to eat the chips. They are that good.
If all this was not enough, Mr. Taco throws another gem in the mix with a Mariachi ban that performs live and takes request on Friday evenings. It is a ton of fun and the guy are talented and play and sing their hearts out. Remember to give them a nice tip if you are there when they perform.
The Bottom Line:
Try out Mr. Taco if you are in Gonzales, Texas. Just do it!
