Tacos Lopez

Fake Mexican food. Their meat isn’t tender and their horchata is that powder stuff. If people in Wichita think this place is good they should try visiting states closer to Mexico.

I used to love this place, it was where I went to get my late night burritos since they are open ²⁴⁄₇. Although, their service and attention to customer requests has gone steadily down since last year. It’s almost like they add extra salt on everything nowadays and it’s not a pleasant experience. They take forever at the drive thru and rarely get my order correct. I would recommend Lalo’s express over this place, I recently discovered it and it takes me back to tacos lopez’ glory days.

Tacos Lopez is the bomb.
I’m from California. Mexican food has been a staple in my diet since I was eating solid food. When I went to college in San Diego, the burrito became a whole separate block in my food pyramid. Outside of California it’s always a struggle to find really good mexican food, and even more so to find a really good burrito place.
I first tried it with a friend of mine from San Diego who was visiting and she, too, concurred — the burritos at Tacos Lopez are as good as many San Diego joints (where they freakin invented the «california burrito»).
I haven’t tried any of the other dishes there, only the burritos because why deviate from excellence.
They’re fast, cheap, and delicious. Only two things to suggest/​critique: I wish they had free chips and salsa inside. And I wish they would call their «Colorado Burrito» a «California Burrito» because that is what it is known as everywhere else.

Carne asada tacos are amazing!!! This place has yet to fail me!!! I will always come here when I am in the mood for Mexican!!! Delicious!
I am now back for the 4^th time and as u can see I love this place!!! Everything I eat is amazing

I ordered the carne asana tacos meal through the drive through. The food was still hot the meat was seasoned just right, and it was stil moist and not dry like a lot of 24 hour joints. For a first visit i was impressed ill be back for more !

Excellent friendly service and they be SLAMMED. .still get the food out and it’s amazing sauces all fresh and HOT HOT &HOTTER Eat ther!!!

This is my favorite place to get tacos de pollo. I’m not a huge fan of any of their beef, but I think that’s more of a personal preference — my friends all love the beef. Good portion sizes, good prices, great hours, and friendly staff.
I should add that this place used to be 24 hours (I think) but now they close at 2 on the weekends.

I just got back from Taco Lopez on West street and I had to warn people that might eat there. I had rocks, or pebbles if you will in my food. I didn’t take a picture but my nephew was there when it happened. Needless to say he didn’t finish his food and I did get my money back. Seriously?! ROCKS!?!

The best at anytime of day! Make sure u get the marinated carrots and guac sauce it perfects anything and everything!

Best Mexican Burritos in the World! Big Size for a cheap price and filled completely! YUMMY

I planned to eat in, but when I stepped inside it was like there was no air conditioning, so I ordered a soft taco to go. A bit pricey at $ 2.50. I can get one down the street at Taco Shop for a dollar less… and it has sour cream.
Food was OK, but this isn’t Mexico. When it’s 94 outside, turn on the a/​c.

First off, I love the fact that they are open ²⁴⁄₇. It’s nice not to have to settle for BK or Taco Bell when you need a meal after hours. Second, eveything I have ever ordered has been piping hot. I usually have to let my burrito sit a while just so I can bite into it. My favorite is the Colorado Burrito (beef, potatoes, onions, cheese, and sauce). There is usually a wait in the drive thru, but it’s because they are putting your meal together. Everything I have ever ordered has been very flavorful. They are in my top 3 of Mexican restaurants in the city.

Late night food at it’s best!

This IS a date night restaurant when it’s after 2 AM.

Beware! Tacos costs $ 2.50 EACH. Two dinners and four tacos = $ 26.00!
Drive-​in window employee agreed they were too expensive, but oh well.
Got home and one of my dinner orders was incorrect. Dinners do not include drinks.

More and more nowadays I’ve taken to just driving around, looking for someplace new to eat. And if there’s something you can say about Tacos Lopez, it’s definitely a place at which I hadn’t eaten. But then I did!
Much like Abelardo’s, Tacos Lopez deals in the good kind of fourthmeal: cheap and real Mexican eats, complete with a 24-​hour drive-​thru. You’re not missing much by choosing to grab and go — not much work has been put into the interior, giving it that run-​down charm you look for in a good Mexican restaurant. There’s a salsa bar, too, though napkins are kept behind the counter, so I’d like to apologize to the lady working the register as she undoubtedly had to wipe up my sloppy dishing of salsa into those little cups.
At $ 2 a pop, I thought the tacos were a little expensive, until I saw the six-​inch tortillas used to contain the large quantity of each of my preferred meats. Four tacos was definitely a bit too much, but as I plowed through the adovada, barbacoa, asada, and carnitas, I didn’t mind. No real standouts, though the carnitas had been sitting around for a while, as it was quite dry. One of the hazards of a 24-​hour operation, I guess.
With La Peyna 2 right across the street, it’s hard to justify Tacos Lopez during normal operating hours, but if you need 3 AM Mexican they more than fit the bill.

Ordered: Adobada plate
Price: ~$ 6
Ambiance: This place won’t be winning awards for appearance with its scratched white walls and dented tables. The red benches lining the walls are slashed with the fiber insulation coming out but despite this, the place doesn’t look terribly run down or dirty. The walls are decorated with colorful blankets and sombreros which are fun.
Service: We were the only people in the restaurant but even still it took the girl over 8 minutes to give us our drink cups. I have no idea why she didn’t just give us our cups when we ordered but the food was prepared in 15 mins which was good.
Food: Ultimately, the food was not bad but uninspiring. The adobada (seasoned pork) was pretty flavorless, lacking both spiciness and savoriness although I’ll admit the texture and moistness were fine. The guacamole was pretty good and didn’t seem to be fake, a common place Mexican joints cut costs. The beans were actually flavorful with good consistency but the rice was absolutely tasteless, lacking any tomato flavor whatsoever. The horchata could have used a little more cinnamon and lacked the rice grains that tell you it is homemade. The two things Tacos Lopez have going for it is portion size and its salsa bar. I can here with my family and none of us were able to clean our plates. Their salsa bar also has a selection of 5 salsas of which i recommend the ‘hot’, the ‘extra hot’ certainly had spice but lacked body and flavor. The pickled carrots could use a little more brine to make them tangy-​er but they had a decent burn to them.
Overall Tacos Lopez is a pretty mediocre place that serves relatively bland food but will probably draw you in with its cheap prices, large portions, and diverse salsas.

I came to this place wanting some Mexican style breakfast tacos. The kind of tacos that remind me of south Texas that I used to have for breakfast years ago. With the name Tacos Lopez, I was sure I came to the right place. Unfortunately, they only had breakfast burritos or breakfast plates available. I tried the chorizo and egg burrito, and it satisfied my craving and my nostalgic desire.
You have to smile at a place like this because it is a little run down. The soda machine shook like crazy when it was dispensing my drink. The tables and seats looked about 30 years old. A few flies flying around. The drive thru window is part of the dining area at one end. They don’t pretend to be a high end place, and this is not exactly a date night restaurant. But for an authentic «fast food» Mexican restaurant, this is probably one of the best ones you will find in town. I look forward to returning and trying something different.

Good price for good tacos. Love the 24 hour drive through.

We go here every week. I love their Burritos!!!
