Winos & Tacos

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  I found Winos and Tacos about two weeks ago when my father and I decided to go out for Mexican. We had heard good things, and now I can't stop finding excuses to go there!
  
  First thing first! Chips & dip. The chips are great! I've never had chips like this before. I imagine what they do is make fresh tortillas in the back (thick style) and flash fry them. If you abundantly like pita chips over plain potato chips, then you'll feel similarly about this.
  
  The drinks are 'refined' - What I mean is that although they will A) Get you buzzed fast, and B) taste great (both VERY important of course), the drinks are also a talking point. My father and I both got a second drink out of curiosity. The tastes are unique and different. The dark & stormy was not my favorite drink that I tried that day, but I DO like a dark & stormy and theirs was so good that I'm now adding lime juice to my drink whenever I order or make a dark & stormy. The drinks are good. Simple, they are not.
  
  Food - I had tacos on both occasions. The pork tacos are hands down the best tacos I've ever had. I can think of only two tacos I've had that have come close and even then, it's by a large margin.

  Stopped in here one day while waiting for my son to finish up his class at Delgado.I only had an hour so I was hoping to be able to get in and out. It was on a Wednesday night and it was pretty empty. There was a free wine tasting so we got to try out some wine from Washington state. I can't remember the label name but the wine was horrible...NOT a fan, but I guess I'm pretty picky after attending many wine tasting in vineyards at Napa Valley.
  
  My husband and I ordered the guacamole and chips and salsa. They were all pretty good. Then for our meal we ordered the carne asada and fish tacos. Surprisingly the tacos came out in homemade corn tortillas! BONUS points for that! I was pretty impressed at how well they tasted. The meat was nice and tender and well seasoned. The red pepper sauce was perfect.
  
  I had a Malbec wine, I can't remember the label of that one either, but it was pleasant. If I was going to be there longer I would have ordered another glass. :)
  
  Overall this place was pretty nice and I would go back again. I got in, didn't have to wait forever for food, had great wine and got out with no issues or problems.

  This place exceeded my expectations for a Columbia street restaurant . The food is phenomenal and the customer service is top notch. We relocated from the table to the courtyard on a chilly night to immediately be assisted with overhead heaters as well as blankets for the ladies ... This place is 5 star in my eyes .. And I will be a regular patron .. Thanks for the experience ...

  I went here the night of the Abita Strawberry pub crawl, so it was super crowded.  I'm not sure if that's the case every Friday night, but because of that I think our service suffered a bit.  The waitress comp'd glasses of wine for our troubles, so it ended up being okay.  I had the fish tacos, and they were really good.  It was not very expensive either, so I felt our end result bill was a great deal.  I have not been back yet, but I intend to go back.  It's kind of small to have a band playing, plus it can get kind of loud in there, so a quiet and romantic dinner may be best ate somewhere else.  They have a patio in the back for sitting outside, which was cool too.  I had never been here when it was the pizza place, but I thought the setup gave it a good atmosphere too.

  Went here a week ago with a buddy, not knowing what to expect. I assumed it would be a trendy/ dive type taqueria. I was pleasantly surprised and disapointed at the same time. For starters the chips and salsa, salsa specifically, was the best I've had in Louisiana. I used to live in Texas so it's been a nightmare trying "mexican" food in Louisiana. They crushed it with the salsa, which is saying a lot in my opinion. I also ordered a margarita which was fine, nothing special but certainly nothing wrong with it, so I was happy. I ordered the entree which was sirloin strips with greens ( trying to remember if it was collard or turnip ) and potatoes. It was really good, except I'm not a huge fan of sirloin due to chewiness, but it was all cooked very well. The only disappointment for me, through no fault of their own, is that I miss the Texas style taquerias with all the tacos you could wish for for under $10. Man how I miss that.
  
  I definitely recommend this joint, and they're newly open so it can only go up from here.
  This could be a great chill date spot or a place to go with your buddies
