  “Seems funny coming from canada to find a fun spot with great mexican food. This place is outside with a large covered eating area. A little hidden gem tucked around the corner from a row of auto repair shops. Great staff quick service family friendly They made part of our 55th wedding anniversary trip memorable”

  “We frequently go to Mexico and spend a lot of time in Southwest/South USA. What you have here is certainly a fusion, LA Taqueria meets Glasgow vibe. What it's not is a fajita kit from Aldi/Tesco trying to be Mexican or TexMex. They know what people here will like and seem to do it very well. And, well, if you stumble upon it as an American that's been on the road for 3ish months, you'll be a very happy customer. Complete with Jarritos and Valentina hot sauce, even had a bottle of muy picante. Thank you. 🌮🌮🌮”

  “Irrefutably the best tacos in Scotland, maybe even the whole of the UK. Super fresh, made with care (no overstuffed sloppy fillings) perfect pliable tortillas. We had birria, Korean pork belly, taquitos, jalapeño hashes and the tres lèches cake. We will be back. It’s a trek from Glasgow but 100% worth it. My hands smell amazing. 🤩”

  “I was recommended this place by a colleague so went and I’m so glad that I did. I went really not knowing what to have and the girl behind the counter talked me through the menu and recommended one to me and she got it spot on. I went really early , midweek as it opened so that’s why I marked atmosphere down but could imagine it to be fantastic on a night or weekend.”

  “Well tasty.. Dave has a good thing going here. 1st visit tonight and will definitely be back. 3 Tacos packed with beef, salad, sour Cream and Mozarella wow... drizzle some of the fresh lime over them and they taste amazing. For £17.00 you get the Tacos above, Bowl of Chilli, a wee dip and a packet of other Tacos. I couldn't finish it. This would feed two people or a big gutsy guy haha.. EDIT: Visited now about 6 times, superb choices, the food is really tasty, I'll be heading there tonight again, this and Bangin round the corne are offering us people that want good alternative food something different, like most people I get fed up with Indian, Chinkies, Dominos(probably worst pizza ever, due to the cheap garbage ingredients) or a Kebab/Chippie.. Bangin and Big Taq are superb options. People come from all over to nosh here. Definitely don't miss it if your in Dumbarton area..”

  “Probably the best tacos in Scotland. The best I've tried anyway and well worth seeking them out even if you're not from Dumbarton. It was hard to pick a favourite between the beef birria and the pork belly tacos, they were both excellent. The beef torta and the jalapeño hash browns were magic too.”

  “This place is absolutely incredible. The food is out of this world! The flavours are perfectly blended to make the best tacos you've ever had! The chorizo tostada is especially amazing 😍. I would highly recommend this place - just make sure to bring a coat during the winter months as it can get a bit chilly in the eating area - or just sit in the car and melt into your scrumptious taco 🌮🌮.”

  “Came here on a Friday evening around 17:30 in October for dinner. They are based by the Skate Park in the industrial estate. They have a converted container and a nice covered outdoor seating area with some heaters, blankets and great tunes going. Great friendly people serving amazing Mexican food. We ordered at the hatch and after about 10 minutes were shouted to come collect. Really enjoyed our two starters and two portions of tacos. The flavours were great and portions large. We both particularly enjoyed the Chipotle Pollo tacos. Great flavours and very enjoyable food. Will 100% be back”

  “What a find! We were stopping in Dumbarton for the night on our return from holiday, but didn't want to resort to a chain restaurant for food. So did a bit of research and found The Big Taquero... It was excellent. Food was absolutely delicious and served really efficiently, good atmosphere too with a range of people and ages enjoying themselves. A brilliant example of a small independent business providing great service and food. Can't recommend more highly.”
