Tacos La Bala

Super excited that this place is by my area! Just found out it was here, decided to try this location. The place looks small from the outside but it has plenty of seating and parking space. They maintained it very clean both in the dining area and restroom. The orders came out crazy fast and they were good. The rice did kind of taste dry and old but everything else was delicious, the portions were good. Definitely coming back!

As close to authentic as you can get. Ordered at the counter, cashier is fluent bilingual, answered all of our questions to help us make our breakfast choices. Food was brought out very quickly, as it was ready, but not in a way that the first person was done eating by the time the last thing came out. The server was attentive but not chatty. Since I hadn't had coffee yet, that was fine by me. I felt the need to add salt to my food, but my husband thought it was perfect as is. It's definitely easier to add salt, so it's all good. The coffee is served with a big milk dispenser, but I considered the coffee good enough to drink black. Strong, but not bitter nor burnt tasting. The menudo was really good with lots of tripe. I was disappointed it didn't have hominy, but my daughter, who picks the hominy out, was thrilled. The breakfast tacos were tasty and just the right size. A dehebrada taco on corn was very flavorful. The place has an assortment of different sized tables. It wasn't packed, and we easily found a table despite there being plenty of people. I would guess the majority of the people eating there were Hispanic, but I saw a couple of other ethnicities represented, and the pick-up counter was constantly busy. I'll definitely come back and try other things.

Came and stayed for the tacos de barbacoa. Best on a tortilla de maíz. The breakfast tacos are okay, my biggest issue with them was the flour tortilla. It's dense instead of fluffy, tastes like it was store bought and frozen. The bacon and egg a bit too salty, the chorizo and potato was okay. The salsas are both good. Prices are fair. Will keep coming back for the barbacoa on tortillas de maíz, they're some of the best I've had, will definitely try more of the menu.

Tacos La Bala on Gessner is the real deal for authentic Mexican food! The flavors are spot on, and the service is always cordial and welcoming. They not only serve classic favorites but also offer popular Mexican drinks that perfectly complement the meal. A highlight here is the traditional torta tipo barda from Tamaulipas, which they prepare just like back home. Pairing it with the classic “Hierro escuis” combo makes it a must-try experience for anyone who wants true Mexican tradition on a plate. Highly recommend this spot for both locals and anyone craving an authentic taste of Mexico!

I’ve been here a few times for lunch, and it’s quickly become my go-to spot for Mexican food. The food is consistently delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed—just a great place overall. I usually order the torta and quesadilla, which are both fantastic. One time I accidentally ordered the flautas, and even those were amazing! This place never disappoints
