LOCAL RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT: SISON TACOS

Sison Tacos, a staple at the Waco Farmers Market, offers an authentic taste of Guadalajara, Mexico. Founded in 2015 and rebranded from Gary's Grill, 20-year-old Edgar brings his family’s culinary legacy to life with every dish. Signature items include the Quesabirria Tacos—crispy, cheesy, and filled with juicy barbacoa—and the Huarache, a sandal-shaped delight that started it all. Sison Tacos also serves refreshing fruit waters in fun, nostalgic bags. As they plan to expand with a new trailer, Edgar’s commitment to quality and authenticity continues to win hearts across the community. Look for Edgar and Sison Tacos & Drinks around town, at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning serving drinks and Wednesday night at the Bridge Street Farmer’s Market for dinner, and give them a follow on Instagram!
