Proper Taco is a sassy taco shop, with an accompanying food trailer affectionately called Gladys. Gladys is available for private events.
We offer a few classic tacos, like carnitas, and sometimes cabeza. For the most part we’re just having fun with food. After all, a tortilla is just an edible plate, there are no rules as to what can go on it.
I’d also like to mention, we are not a Mexican restaurant. No beans and rice. No fajitas. All the fun.
Please place your orders online rather than calling them in.

Creative tacos, not your normal taqueria. Cute little place. The menu is a bit overwhelming, thankfully the guy gave us a menu tour which did help but it was still overwhelming. I’m glad I looked online first because I kind of knew what I wanted to get. You walk up to a counter to order. The menu is on the wall. Tbh this makes it very overwhelming with a menu that has so many options and variations it would be better done as an in hand menu. After ordering I heard the workers talking in the back about how they can’t understand how someone, even after the menu has been explained to them that they can’t figure out what to order. I can tell you right now that it is the way that the menu is presented. It’s the names and the way the ingredients are listed. Having the spicy items listed in red helped my guy order because he knew which items he wanted immediately. I on the other hand needed to read the overwhelming list of ingredients. The smell when I walked in was a bit sour and there were a few flies around the kitchen and counter area which was off putting. The flies and overwhelming menu almost made me want to leave. I ended up getting an Odin and a Becky- both were super wet with the water from the bin the chicken was pulled from. They definitely need a spoodle. Because they are not draining their scoops. My tacos were so soggy and wet that it was a mess to eat. My first bite of the Odin got all over me and the table. While the flavor and presentation were good the actuality of the taco was a disaster. The last plate photo in my post shows the liquid that came out of both my tacos. My guys tacos were different meats than mine so he didn’t have my issue. He had the moe and the Amanda. He said the moe was interesting and the Amanda was best. We had the Nathan to share which was really good. The worker never checked up on us or pre-bussed our table but did it for a family that sat next to us. This was upsetting. I was gonna talk to them about my experience but figured after hearing them talk about the customers before hand and the fact that they didn’t check up on us that they probably didn’t care. Good not great. I’d go again.

Super fun energy here! Their menu hosts a diverse mix of taco combos, all with unique names. Also, they have a vegan section! The blend of flavors was nice, the only downside was that the tortilla ripped easily

Normally I like this place, but today I placed a pickup order during lunch hour and it clearly was rushed. And honestly gross. I couldn’t send feedback on the online order otherwise i would have instead of here, but I had almost zero meat on my order and what I did get, was this in the pic. ALL actual fat and actually disgusting seeing the valves in the meat. That was 90% of all the meat I had on the entire filling size order of nachos. The rest was all toppings. I maybe had 2 bites of meat besides what I took out in the pic. Pretty bummed for $15 nachos.

We found this place passing through Midland and at first we were a bit hesitant. The menu is not as traditional as we were expecting. We took a chance on tacos and nachos and were thoroughly pleased. Plentiful portions, great flavor. The people working are helpful and kind, the merchandise is fun, the bathroom pictures are entertaining. We will definitely return next time we are in the area!

10/10 AMAZING food. I love this place so extremely much. I wasn’t even a huge fan of Mexican food until I found this absolute gem. We’ve tried so much from the menu and have never been even slightly disappointed. Whoever runs this establishment, hats off to you!
