What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Shamrock Tacos is widely praised as a local gem, offering an impressive variety of delicious and unique tacos at affordable prices. Many patrons rave about the fresh, made-to-order quality and friendly service. However, some reviews note inconsistency in meat preparation and flavor, with occasional complaints about ingredients like veins or burnt items.
"Great little whole in the wall taco shack. Great taste and priced around $4 each depending on add ons steady business but not a line when I went. About 11am"
Sean TEXAS STYLE
"We were excited to try this place as it had great reviews. They claim it’s better than Mima’s tacos. Sadly, NO. The tacos are full of rice, beans and cheese, very little chicken or carne guisada. The meat on both the chicken verde and carne guisada had ZERO flavor. I had to drown it in their mild green sauce. I will say the mild green sauce is really good and in my opinion, better than Mima’s green sauce. The fish taco had flavor, but was cold. Sorry Shamrock’s ☘️ we won’t be back."

"This place is really delicious! Stopped in for a quick breakfast to-go, but they do have tables outside. Large menu! Everything was good and the service was quick. I’ll definitely come back when I’m in Wimberley again. I wish I had this place closer to my house!"
