Zacatecas absolutely delivers if you’re craving bold, authentic Mexican flavors. The tacos were the highlight—warm, lightly crisped tortillas filled with tender, well-seasoned meat that speaks for itself. Dip them into the rich, savory consommé, and it takes everything to another level. Deep flavor, not greasy, and exactly what you want with tacos like these. And don’t skip the elote cup—creamy, cheesy, perfectly seasoned with chili and lime. Comfort food done right and the perfect side to the tacos. Overall, Zacatecas is the kind of place that hits hard on flavor and keeps you thinking about the meal long after you’re done. If you’re in Waco and want tacos that actually deliver, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. 🌮🔥

Love this place. Best taqueria we have found in Texas so far. The quesobirria tacos are very good as is their carne asada and chicken tacos. Lots of flavor. They have also done a lot of work on the location and the dining room is now completely enclosed. I just wish they sold complete meals instead of having to order sides of rice and beans. We make the trip often from Temple to enjoy their food.

We have been eating at this restaurant for well over 3 years and tried quite an array of their food including the tacos. We've also visited quite a few other locations and businesses they didn't measure up to this place. This restaurant has the most delicious versions of each item and takes great care in putting your meals together. We recommend their Pizza Dilla, any one of their tacos especially lingua and carne asada. But our ultimate favorite item is the torta cubana sandwich! If you want to turn your whole day into pure joy you must try the sandwich!!! Our favorite drink is the melon drink on ice. It tastes like cantaloupe juice with just a little pulp. Plus they have incredible staff that are so sweet and helpful and accommodating. Highly highly recommend checking this spot out!

This place is totally underrated. It's not really up-scale, but if you're looking for street tacos, you're in the right place. The Birria tacos here are unbeatable. Other Baylor kids I've talked to call this place Taco Z.

Amazing tacos and quesadillas Need more salsa for proportion of the chips Seating is no flares, but food is so good, who cares! Warm sauce for dipping is great!
