Tacos @ Taco Mundo
Taco Mundo sprung up out of (practically) nowhere. It’s part of the new Centreport development off of Hwy. 360 & Trinity. The address is technically Ft. Worth, but that makes it pretty confusing. To get a better idea of where it actually is, think North Arlington.
Based on the Taco Mundo signage (featuring what looks like a clip-art Earth), you’ll probably be preparing yourself for some very questionable Mexican food. But go a little closer & you’ll be surprised to find a pretty chic, modern interior & a patio that has major potential to be a great margarita hangout on Summer weeknights.
You’ll also notice that Taco Mundo looks/feels a lot like Taco Diner and that’s because it’s owned by Mi Cocina co-founder, Carolina Galvan-Rodriguez. Interested? I thought so.
Their menu’s mainstay is a substantial list of taco choices, including tacos de brisket, al pastor & carnitas. Appetizers include the standard, yet tasty Tex-Mex offerings like queso fundido & chicken flautas. More substantial entrees round out the menu & although we stuck to mix & match taco plates, some of them sounded really great: sopes, enchiladas with mole sauce & crispy chicken enchiladas in a salsa verde.
As for the tacos we got, they were all very good. They’re served with Mexican rice & the classic fixings of lime, cilantro, and onion. The meat tacos were tender & well-prepared. The vegetarian Tacos Verdura was surprisingly rich with wilted spinach, poblano, mushrooms, roasted corn & jack cheese. If you like Taco Diner, you’ll like Taco Mundo too.
And I’m really pulling for Taco Mundo. Anyone familiar with that area knows that the eatery landscape is a little barren. With the Summer nights ahead, Taco Mundo is going to be a lovely happy hour place because of their beautiful patio. While looking for information about any happy hour specials, I couldn’t find any info online. So I called and spoke to someone. While I didn’t fully understand his answer, I loved the sound of it. “Our margaritas are tasty & it’s happy hour every day, all the time.” Alright, I’m down with that.

Sounds like a great spot for an evening harley ride …………its on my list……thanks
This place is closed now because they were caught fraudulently using customers credit card numbers. Such a shame, the food was really good.
It was not a fraudulently case, the problem was the credit cards were charged a month later. Of course, if you check your records and for example if you ate on july.. the charged would be on the August statement that’s why ppl got confused.But not doble charged on any card.
Thanks for the heads up Liza. I’ve noticed that Taco Mundo is still open. We’ll have to go back soon!
