“We absolutely loveee this place!! My boys and I have lunch or dinner here a few times a month. Food is always well seasoned, greens and veggies always fresh.”
“High quality food,nice service,good environment love their enchiladas especially mole they have other sauces I recommend.”
“La verdad recomiendo el lugar muy rico, buen sazón y sobretodo te atienden con una amabilidad y respeto, te hacen recomendaciones, yo fui como a las 5:00pm”
“Delicious Mexican food ! Great service, I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Taquito de Tio’s bien dorada Taquito de azada y Gordita de chorizo… DELICIOSO!!”
“This place has some pretty decent tacos for a quick bite. I ordered 2 de asada with onions and cilantro and 1 chorizo with onions and cilantro. They were flavorful! My sister got a asada torta and it included avocado where some other taco places charge you extra for adding it. Her torta was perfect packed with flavor and their bread was soft. They serve a queso blanco for their chips and salsa and that one became my favorite. The Horchata was great. Personally I don’t like mine to be too sweet and theirs was perfect. Not too sweet. We ordered fries and they were nice and crispy. The place is a bit small for my liking but we were able to find a table luckily it wasn’t packed. The service was great. Our server was attentive and super nice. It’s a great place for a quick stop. It’s definitely a hassle to find parking since they don’t have a parking lot so good luck if you drive there. In overall, this place is good.”
“$4.00 for pastor taco seems a bit overpriced. It’s not even a regular size tortilla. $4.35 for lengua taco. The tortilla is also small size. This was a takeout. Not sure if eating in the restaurant is different”
“I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I felt I had to share my experience. I’ve ordered from this restaurant several times before and always appreciated how close it is to home. Unfortunately, the quality and portion sizes have really gone downhill. This time, the burrito I ordered was almost entirely tortilla—barely any meat and no veggies at all. On top of that, the meat has been overly salty the last few times I’ve ordered. It’s disappointing to see how much the food has changed, and sadly, I won’t be ordering from here again.”
“Don’t come here a lot. But will never come again. Got 4 carne asada tacos and either they didn’t know which is crazy/impossible or was trying to get rid of it but you can clearly tell the meat it was old. It smelled terrible and then the first bite it tasted even worse. Never again go to Taconazo open later and food even better”
