It’s quite possible that the most readily available food in East Texas is street tacos. Heck, there might be less dollar stores than taco spots around here. However, there’s just one true OG. One name more recognizable than any other… Edgar’s Big Taco, AKA “beer store tacos”, AKA “31 tacos”.
This isn’t your typical street taco, though. In fact, it’s FAR from it. Many would argue that it’s not even an authentic taco, but more of a TexMex version. Some would even claim it’s a burrito, but that’s not what the creator called it.
Corn tortilla? Nope. Flour. Need a baker’s dozen to tackle hunger? Nope. Just one. “Big Taco” rings 100% true. Just meat, onions, and cilantro? Also nope. Beef, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, add sour cream. That’s how we’re doing this. Douse it in salsa verde that is just spicy enough to make your brow sweat, and you’ve done it right.
It’s a humble place, that hasn’t changed one bit since 1995, but we all know the hole-in-the-wall spots are always the best. Warm greetings, prompt service, Texas A&M pride, consistently delicious tacos, and a “thank you, friend” is what you can expect. That has never changed either.
So, if you have somehow managed to make it this far in life without grabbing a Big Taco when you’re down Hwy. 31 towards Kilgore, make it a priority. They do also have a Kilgore location, and a food truck, but the original location is the one for me, personally.
Execution: 9
The Bite: 9
The Vibe: 8
Expectation vs Reality: 10
Final verdict: Worth the stop every time Hwy. 31 calls your name.

Top 5 Tacos in East TX. Never disappointed, the tacos are flavorful and that green sauce is on point.

Been going there since inception, the best around. If you want real Hot sauce green the best around. Want him in Tyler would front him as a silent partner venture. Respect for Edgar.

Ordered street tacos and they came with very dry meat even after we requested cilantro and onions.

I’ve stopped in for a BIG Taco almost every time I drive that way. I noticed that now, they have a food truck. I’ll have to watch for the location for more goodness more often! My first time eating at Edgar’s was probably 15 years ago. The green sauce is dynamite. If you don’t like HOT, you might want to get sauce on the side. Because it is made there, it varies between just mild to medium, or very hot! I like it very hot!!! I get mine to go. They do have seating but it is a little place.

Well I think there’s several times I do like their food they have really got some excellent food I haven’t ordered anything that was bad I love their tacos and you can order it several different ways different meats different veggies however you like it of course you might have to pay a little extra but if you want it the way you want it then you pay that little extra anyway as a great place to go it’s a small place so there is parking but there’s no place to go in and eat you have to eat your vehicle or take it home and that’s just fine for me so I hope y’all go there and enjoy it

They are steady easing the prices up, I remember when they were $1and now $2.25 I can make them also. Go back down $1.25 and you will make more but they are good. Consider having specials! As long as they been there they never have done it!
