This place is wonderful! The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and helpful. And the decor/artwork is beautiful! We live out of town and are here for only a few days... we will definitely be back again before we head home!

Ceviche Bandera
One of the best taco joints we tried while on business travel in the RGV. Let’s be honest, there are like 1,000 taco places to choose from and you will never be able to try them all.
All I can say is we chose a great place. One that we will go back to when the chance arises.
The taste was on point, portion size was awesome, the waitress was friendly and inviting, the drinks were tasty and cold, the service was excellent.
The RGV isn’t my normal stomping grounds but my associate visits quite often. He says this is his new favorite place to eat tacos.
Don’t wait to try this place. Get there today!

David in the front was awesome however the manager Adolfo shouldn’t be a manager he doesn’t know how to manage. The bathrooms were so nasty they looked like they hadn’t been clean in days. The food took forever and they never checked up on us. The manager Adolfo forgot our order 5 times we had to keep asking him. We had very high expectations of this place but we will never come back and we don’t recommend this place to our worst enemy.

Baja Fish Tacos
We've had carry out from here before but this was our first time eating at the restaurant. It is definitely a better tasting meal. The atmosphere is nice and everything was made fresh. Portions were big. Definitely will be a restaurant we come to when we crave tacos.

We went to try birria, which we have never heard of or tried before. We chose the Quesabirria and the Birria Quesadilla. Both were very good. We enjoyed dipping them as we ate. The only downside is that they don't have any green vegetables on the menu. We did start with the Guacamole Bandera, which was also very good.

Quesadilla De Birria
It was our first time here and we’re so glad we found out about this place!!! The food is so so so amazing, I had the quesabirria tacos and they were out of this world! The Baja fish tacos were also super delcicious! My boyfriend and I exchanged 1 taco each to try them out 💗
The lemonades were also super delicious and came with whatever flavor fruit you got and chamoy!
The workers are also really nice and check in on you and ask if everything is good or up to par :)) we also had a manager or maybe the owner also check in on us! Must try place for sure!!!

Calacas is undeniably my go-to restaurant for mouthwatering tacos and refreshing limonadas. The experience here is truly exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by David Pardos and Jessica. David, in particular, goes above and beyond to cater to his customers, always wearing a friendly smile and offering a polite and accommodating service. As a mostly vegetarian with a preference for seafood, my options at a taqueria can be limited, but David’s efforts to customize menu items make each visit enjoyable and fulfilling.
Jessica also stands out with her unwavering politeness and customer-oriented approach, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. These two individuals are the reason I keep coming back to Calacas.
Beyond the remarkable service, the food at Calacas is outstanding. It transcends the typical taqueria experience with its delicious and reasonably priced menu items. As a non-meat eater, I particularly adore the ceviche bandera, an absolute delight, and the Baja tacos, a scrumptious choice for seafood enthusiasts.
To complement these delectable dishes, Calacas offers an array of lemonades in various flavors, such as watermelon and cucumber. These refreshing concoctions are so delightful that they make you forget about the need for alcohol – they are that good!
In a nutshell, Calacas is more than just a taco place; it’s an oasis of great food and exceptional service. It’s the dedication of staff like David and Jessica that truly sets this restaurant apart. Whether you’re a vegetarian, seafood lover, or just someone seeking a relaxed and sumptuous dining experience, Calacas is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!
