The word on Guaco Taco
Here's the word going around
I haven't joined the bingo chaos here yet, so this is the regulars' read, not mine.

By most accounts Guaco Taco is less a restaurant than a neighborhood living room that happens to serve tacos. Family-owned, with the owner working the floor making sure the beer's cold and the margaritas flowing, and the whole menu gluten free, which reviewers say quietly makes a lot of nights. People come for the chips and cheese and fries with house-made ketchup and stay for the chaos: sing-along bingo, karaoke, crawfish boils, morning bloody marys. The time out margarita with a tajin rim gets called the move. It isn't flawless. Reviewers report wobbly tables and service falling apart when the room gets slammed, an order vanishing into the void. But the heart is real and the food fresh and high quality. Go for the vibe and the people, forgive the occasional stumble.
An all-gluten-free menu with sing-along bingo and crawfish boils? That's a living room I want to crash.
The Order
Reviewers point to chips and cheese, fries with the house ketchup, and a time out margarita with a tajin rim.
⚠ Gotcha
Service can buckle when it's busy and the tables wobble, by several accounts. Come for the party, not for precision.
That's the word on this one.
