Toma Taco

One address for an early taco or a full dinner

Toma Taco on South LBJ Drive gives a group more than one way through a Mexican menu. Individual tacos use corn or flour tortillas, with asada, carne guisada, carnitas, pastor and chicharrón in green salsa among the choices. The special section identifies barbacoa as beef cheek and lengua as beef tongue, making the difference between fillings explicit.

The Marisquero pairs grilled shrimp with a house mango sauce; Sinaloa uses grilled tilapia, cabbage and pico de gallo. A vegetable taco combines onion, peppers, pineapple, mushrooms and ranchero sauce. Those recipes are useful when the table includes someone seeking seafood or vegetables alongside the meat orders.

Breakfast details worth knowing

Breakfast tacos include familiar bacon-and-egg or bean-and-cheese combinations, but also nopal with egg, machacado with egg and migas with tortilla chips, pico and cheese. The breakfast menu's early prices apply until 11 a.m.; it states a surcharge afterwards for tacos and plates. That is a pricing cutoff rather than a statement that all breakfast food disappears at eleven.

For a larger meal, the Texas Fajita Quesadilla includes grilled peppers and onions with chicken or beef. The TXST Burrito comes with gravy and cheese over the filled tortilla, rice and beans. These are plated meals for a longer stop, while individual tacos make a smaller order possible. Tortas provide another option with beans, vegetables, avocado and the selected filling.
