Las Chismosas Taqueria

I had a carne asada super burrito. The flavor was good, but there were five pieces of unchewable gristle — four of them quite large — in my burrito that detracted significantly from my enjoyment.

Based on recommendations from other Unilocalers we thought we would give Las Chismosas Taqueria a try. Sunday at 1:05 PM and the place is packed (good sign). We order to go and the man taking our order is very friendly and helpful. Price for 2 super burritos and 2 street tacos is nearly $ 23. This is on the high side of Taquerias. We have high hopes and therefore pay and prepare ourselves for a long wait. The very friendly gentleman brings out our order, includes chips and salsa and gives explanation of what is what. At home we open the foil wrapped burritos and find we are penalized for not including rice and beans. The 8.95 super burrito is now an expensive rolled taco. More tortilla than meat. This is where they drop 2 stars. Furthermore my Carne Asada burrito is very greasy and the steak is grisly in texture. The street tacos are worthy of praise. Good meat to corn tortilla ratio and they burst with flavor. The street tacos are a bargain at 1.50 each. Salsas are good and run on the hotter side. We were hoping for another go to place for Mexican food but Las Chismosas Taqueria fell short and nowhere as good as Taqueria Carnitas Tijuana or Tortilleria El Molino in our opinion.

Las chismosas is a family owned business. The employees who work there are amazing and the food is delicious! This is a MUST try restraunt that will keep you coming back for more. BEST TACOS around.

Just meh. Two burritos that weren’t that big were $ 20.
The wait was long and they were disorganized. They gave us the wrong order at first but hey, they were packed and just opened. The staff was nice and friendly. If the burrito was good I would have come again.
The burrito was smaller an more expensive than the four other places at this intersection. The worst part was the carne asada. It was all gristle, we were spitting out inedible bits every bite. The rice made up most of the burrito and it was meh. Definitely still gonna go to El Molino across the street. Two giant burritos stuffed with better meat for $ 13.
Also don’t dump the salsa on your burrito, it’s more like killer hot sauce. Awesome in small portions, but don’t hurt yourself like I did

They have the best tacos in the world! Delicious, can’t go wrong here! Their selection of food is great. Their salsa is delicious!

I had a regular asada burrito which was just ok. It had asada, rice, beans, a bit of sour cream and cheese. The asada itself was aright nothing sprctacular but the bit of sour cream that they added made the burrito not as dry as other taquerias. But at 7.99, I was expecting more meat and it’s pricier than other places.
Also, tried the carnitas tacos which were just ok too. The corn tortillas were a little crispier than I had wished. Felt like I was eating a crispy taco at times instead of a soft taco but the price is good at 1.50 each.
I didn’t see any paper menus or take out menus but instead they have some specialty items with pictures and prices along with fajitas, tortas, tacos, etc. 3.5 stars for now until next time.

Las Chismosas Taqueria was a hoot. place looks the usual sammie/​burget/​subway counter. with the various tables. flatscreen tuned to local hispanic news.

As soon as i walked in i had a good vibe about this place. They have great customer service and were great with specifics on my order. They got the food out within a good time limit to my table. The flavor of the food was amazing. I really enjoyed my meal here if i could i would eat more but my stomach wont let me.

This small taqueria sits in the Four Corners shopping plaza at the Monument and Oak Grove Rd. intersection. It’s across the street from Milo’s Lounge (
which may be important if you want a beer with dinner. I think I saw sangria in their soda fridge, but I don’t recall seeing any Coronas.
My husband and I came in for dinner tonight and I ordered 3 tacos ($ 1.50 each): pollo (chicken), carne asada (beef), and adobada (seasoned pork). They didn’t have a fish option or a veggie option (perhaps they will add to their menu as they grow). I also didn’t see guacamole on the menu (side note: today is National Guacamole Day!) but you won’t need guacamole with your chips if you like spicy salsa. Free chips are served to guests dining in the restaurant in a basket with a large bowl of a red salsa that was more like a hot sauce. It was a really liquid consistency, but maybe that’s to protect the consumer — this stuff is spicy! They also have two bowls of salsa on the counter (the type that they make the salsa in by smashing all the ingredients on the rough walls of the bowl). When they bring out your food they include two more hot sauce bottles (both a red and a green), plus they have a variety of premium hot sauce bottles on each table.
It’s a family owned restaurant and so other menu items may appear and the salsas may change based on ingredients/​tastes; and so far, so, so good! Our tacos quickly came out with steaming grilled onions on top. Each taco is served on two small, fresh, corn tortillas, and they pile on the meat and fresh onion/​cilantro topping in large mounds on the warm shells. Really great value and the food was delicious. Honestly, I was so in love with the salsas and hot sauces they could have served me anything and I would have been drooling, but the tacos were indeed very tasty.
My husband finished both of our glass-​bottled Coca Colas and I’m not sure that did a lot to help put out the fire in his mouth. And for me, the heat level was PERFECT (which means it is definitely spicy!!) — so I’ll be back here again very soon!

They have great quality and are clean. They all are really funny and will keep you laughing for sure. They have fresh food and great fruit drinks. They just opened but it is always pretty busy witch that says a lot in my eyes.
