Yucatan Taco Stand

Went in last night to drink with my friends after work we had the pleasure of meeting Yesenia who we ordered 4 green tea shots from. She made sure they were extra strong which we greatly appreciated. As we were getting ready to leave and pay she told us the shots were on the house! Best bartender ever!

Really enjoy this place, especially since they stay open late in case you are on Magnolia late. The staff are friendly. There was one time that the A/C was out and a couple tunes their frozen drink machine was out. It seems that the staff are frustrated with the management, so I hope the manager becomes more appreciative of the staff.

We visited twice, largely because they allowed dogs on their patio and had a menu we liked. Some of the tables are shaded by trees in the early evening of late spring, nice given there was a heat wave when we visited. Food was acceptable, the option for a burrito bowl was welcome and an added reason we returned. Margaritas were pretty good, not terribly strong for either visit, drinking two had very little effect, and had good flavor. Service was uninspired. Our first visit, the staff didn't pay attention to us and seemed put out when we waved them down to place orders after waiting 20 minutes. They tried to give us our bill before delivering dinner, and were again put out when we asked for a second round of drinks. We were not in a rush, fortunate as we stayed 1h40m with a large portion just waiting. Second visit, service was just not attentive. They never checked on us, didn't come to get orders or refill drinks, and we never saw them to wave them down We had to wave down people cleaning tables to get our server to stop by. Outdoor seating, dogs allowed, drinks that aren't too stiff, and a reasonable menu - if you're patient about service.

I've lived here 3 weeks and I've already been there twice. Once during the day, once at night. Both excellent experiences. Both times we sat on the patio. The only downside is with the Texas wind. You have to nail the napkins to the table. Our young female server, Mariah (?) was super friendly and VERY attentive. I was in a bit of an emotional state because I had just moved away from my friends and family, so as my boyfriend and I were talking, Mariah never rushed us. She even had to return back to us several times just so we could make a decision on drinks. I'm not much of a slushy drink person but my boyfriend had gotten one and I felt like slogging the whole thing down. And it was so pretty too! When we decided that we wanted to do the quesadilla with shredded beef instead of the meat options they offered, she was happy to oblige. Great salsa with some spice to it too. So we ate, drank, held the napkins down and really had an enjoyable experience. 2 weeks later..we went for a walk one night and last minute decided to stop in just to get something quick. The young gentleman that helped us went above and beyond when it came to catering to our special needs. (We wanted to share a taco salad). We were both just going to jam our forks in there and eat like slobs but he was kind enough to bring us little bowls and even two separate dressings and plenty of napkins knowing we were going to make a mess. Even though they were getting close to closing time, he didn't rush us. The lighting on the patio at night is beautiful. I took a picture of my boyfriend's delicious drink. "Do you want to share the other woman with me?" he says. The other woman is the name of the drink. 😂 Since we live right down the street now, we'll probably become regulars.
