Armando's Tacos

What a great find while we were in the Las Colinas/Irving area. Convenient location near 635 and Belt Line. Ample parking in front. Don't think twice about the humble exterior, you'll won't regret the food, great service, and clean interior. We had breakfast here and had a green chilaquiles plate and a huevos à la Mexicana breakfast burrito. Amazing!!! Fresh, great flavor, Chile was nice and spicy (green is hotter than the red) and I can't wait to come back for lunch! True Mexican food - no Tex-Mex.

I ordered the Fajita Torta, which came with fries. The torta itself was really good — the meat had great flavor, and the bread was the perfect mix of soft and crunchy. The only downside was the fries. They were warm, but they had an oily taste, almost like they hadn’t been drained properly before being served but still good to eat. Overall, the food was great, but I’m not a fan of ordering only through a kiosk. A little personal touch goes a long way. Even a simple ‘hello’ and letting customers know they can order at the kiosk would make the experience feel much more welcoming. I forgot to take a picture of the food before but my empty plate shows it was good.

The young man who took our order was very helpful when we asked questions about certain dishes. I had 2 barbacoa (sp?) tacos & 1 fajita taco. The barbacoa was tender & juicy & yummy!!! The fajita was seasoned perfect for my taste, but it was a little dry. The fresh onions & cilantro on the tacos is always so good!! The beans were also good & fresh. I wasn't a fan of the rice, but my husband liked it. He had the chicken quesadillas (sp?) He said they were very flavorful! I also had 1 sopa. Again, the fajita was really good, but I expected the dough it be softer but it was a mini waffle & it was hard & dry. The flavors of the toppings were good, but I wouldn't get it again because of the waffle. Overall I would go back again!!

I've been driving by this place a few times omw to work. I decided to stop and try it today. Not sure how to feel about it. My first time ordering Mexican food from a kiosk at a Mexican restaurant. The tacos were ok and the limonada was ok as well. Thru can at least take off the price tags that are on the salt shakers but what caught my eye was the dead cricket that looked like it's been there since this morning 🤷🏼‍♂️. Unless I'm really hungry I might come back.

Edit: was so good yesterday that I came back and bought more for my co-workers today. Love supporting small businesses especially when the food tastes this good! Every time I’ve come to the IBM offices down the street I’ve wanted to come here but never had the chance. Today I made the chance and I was not disappointed! Breakfast tacos were stuffed and so was the burrito! All for $10. If you find yourself in the area, give them a try. Going to have to go by for lunch one day!
