Aqui es Texcoco

* New Menu Update * My family and I will make a 30min drive down to get the all famous barbacoa. On this visit we were surprised that this location is now specialized in Cabeza (yes, the head).Surprised and shocked we order! 1lb for a family of three, came in at noon on empty stomachs & had a big appetites. In simple terms, the meat was Delicious. Soft, juicy and with a melt in your mouth factor. A perfect amount of flavor and the DIY tacos were very enjoyable. It serves a very similar experience to the regular lamb barbacoa plates we would get.

Visited 3/11/2024A Long Time Coming.I've been wanting to try this wonderful Family owned Mexican Authentic Lamb BBQ out for a long time. There is History behind the menu here.(Check out the last Menu Photo to see what I mean.)Lots of parking and super clean inside with loads of seating.Lots of great homemade choices from a place that specializes in bbq lamb dishes.First I must say that the lamb had no gamingness in the flavor department. The meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly with a fantastic flavor profile.I started with The Lamb Rib Meat Flautas. Three 10in stuffed rib meat rolled tacos. Nice and crispy outside and tender and juicy inside.Next I had to try The Lamb Rib Meat Queso Taco. My favorite of the day.It's a real fried cheese shell taco stuffed with loads of lamb and more melted cheese. After the first bite I was in love. It comes with a fantastic flavored Consume for dipping. I dipped everything I ordered in it than drank the rest. Next I ordered a single Grilled Quail. They come Three to an order or you can order just one. The flavor was very tasty but the bird was a tad dried out for me liking. Glad I only ordered one. ‍Lastly I ordered The Plato de Barbacoa / Lamb Barbecue Plate.1/2 Order. Includes a small lamb Consume, Corn Tortillas, Onions, Cilantro, Salsa, and Limes. A 1/2 order makes about 6 tacos.Excellent way to go.To finish off my experience i tried The House Made Flan.I liked it as it wasn't overly sweet.This place did not disappoint and I definitely want to come back to try more of the delicious menu.Worth the drive and it's the only Place I've found in SD that specializes in BBQ Lamb.I recommend it even for those that "Think" they don't Like Lamb.

This restaurant specialises in traditional lamb barbeque. I ordered a half order of Plato de Barbacoa (Lamb Barbeque Plate) to go and it comes with lamb meat, small lamb broth, tortillas, two salsas, diced onions, cilantro and limes. The meat was very tender and delicious and the portion was pretty big even for a half order. A small lamb broth had a good flavour too.The restaurant has a good space to accommodate groups of people and the interior is clean and neat. There's a plenty of parking as well and the staff are helpful. I would recommend this place for a traditional Mexican lamb meat.

When a restaurant specializes in one thing, they do it very well. Aqui es Texcoco knows how to cook Lamb Barbacoa. So tender and full of flavor. You have to try and not compare to other similar delicious meats of Mexican cuisine. This is truly unique!First time here, you have to try your own combinations of salsas + cilantro + lime + picked onions. First time eating a green salsa that is very picante.The staff is busy but also efficient. Kind when things slow and quick when tables are all full. The kitchen is always in full swing.Chapulines... A must try, either on the side, or mixed in with guacamole. Pretty good and would eat again. Dining area is open and has nice murals along the walls. Love that they make their own Agua Frescas in-house daily. Added plus would be if they served beer as well. I understand why many said this was a favorite place to dine. Definitely a unique experience. Would go back one day but not frequently as it warrants as a special experience.

The lamb is so tender and tasty! This restaurant has a nice family vibe. Everything tasted delicious epsecially with the broth ( consume). Staff was lovely and provided good service/recommendations . Thank you

Tell me why I had my uncle from Riverside recommend me to try out this restaurant in Chula Vista? Because it is real authentic Mexican barbacoa. I never would have known this place existed if not for my uncle who is in search of authentic Mexican food. My family and I decided to order to go to bring it back to our family for a taste test. However, the ladies in the front were very patient and knowledgeable in recommendations for what to order. I must add they are exceptionally a nice modern looking restaurant with great service. As for the food: we ordered the half pound of lamb tacos and chiccaron tacos. They were so delicious and amazingly priced! It was so worth the trip and price. If you like spicy, you must try the habanero pickled onions. They are so spicy, yet addicting. I can't wait to come back and try this place with friends and try out the interesting menu I've never seen before. Such as :Grasshoppers, rabbit and brains! Definitely worth a visit if you're tired of the same old carne asada! Open up your taste buds guys.

It's just really not delicious for me or my Mexican wife. She asked that I not bring her any more tacos from this place. So, I am a little reluctant to reconsider it. I do see many customers. It is near Dollar Tree and Verizon

Saw this restaurant on a Mark Weins podcast and decided to give it a try while I was down south. First, don't go when there is a line. Service although friendly, wasn't the speediest. By speediest I mean it came out an item every 3-5 mins. Drinks came out towards the end. The food was actually pretty tasty but a bit cold. Nonetheless I would like to visit again. Ambiance was what you would expect it to be, loud but not too loud. Busy but not forget the customer exists busy. Try the flor de calabaza quesadilla, exquisite.

I've been to their location in Tijuana and wanted to check out their new location in Chula Vista.This location is easy to spot and there's plenty of parking. We were seated promptly and given menus.We ordered a half pound of barbacoa and flautas. The meat was good but a little dry but the flautas were perfection. I tried the chicken, barbacoa, and potato flautas and they were all delicious! The service was a little slow and the prices are on the higher side but overall it was a good experience and I will definitely be back!

As a born and raised Mexican that hates Cali Mexican food, this places is so authentic and reminds me of my moms cooking. Great service too!
