What our guests are saying
Best Barbacoa in town! I have been coming to Texcoco for many years, and they never disappoint. Their ingredients are always fresh, and the food is Amazing. My goal is to try everything on the menu, which I am close to already (Including the Chapulines) aka Grasshopper tacos. My favorite choices of meat are the cabeza and costilla.

I had the opportunity to devour their veg mushroom tacos with rice and beans and the various salsas - the food was to die for - thank you! Truly enjoyed your hot service at the WOAH girls event in mission bay …one of the best Mexican foods I have tasted in SD so far !!
The Nagging S.
Wow. This place is amazing, got the lamb barbacoa plate and the quail. The barbacoa is to die for, and all the toppings just make it better. Great salsa as well. The tamarind agua fresca was refreshing. The quail is worth a try as it tastes really good, but isn’t a whole lotta food. Overall 10/10 would recommend.
