The ambience is great, and the staff were very kind and attentive. I wanted to love this place, but the food was a let down. The food will come out super fast, but our tacos were pretty cold when served. We got the queso and tried birria, al pastor, and asada queso tacos with consommé. The queso was good, but it would be better with hot tortilla chips. The meats lacked flavor, and the steak wasn’t tender. The al pastor was the best tasting out of the meats. The food wasn’t good enough for us to visit a second time. Unfortunately Torchy’s Tacos is a lot better.

Absolutely amazing. The service was incredible and the food was somehow even better. Best al pastor tacos I’ve had, hands down. I also got the ramen and it was phenomenal. Super chill atmosphere, great vibe, and everything came out fresh and packed with flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at this fantastic establishment! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I must say, the tacos here are truly exceptional; they are bursting with flavor and made using the freshest ingredients. Each bite offers a delightful combination of textures and tastes that kept me coming back for more. Additionally, I ordered a refreshing cucumber water to accompany my meal, and it was nothing short of delightful. The subtle flavors of the cucumber, enhanced with a hint of mint, made it incredibly refreshing and perfectly complemented the savory tacos. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return to savor more of their delicious offerings!

The birria tacos are some of my favorite. Their salsas are also delicious, spicy, and similar to what you get at taquerias. I do think they are definitely overpriced, but worth a splurge every now and then. I highly disagree with the one review that said Torchy’s is better 😂 everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that’s crazy (and I like Torchy’s) just comparing two different types of tacos. This place is legit. If you want closer to Taco Bell-American “tacos” with kale salad topped and Chipotle aioli chicken tenders type tacos, go to Torchy’s, if you want closer to Mexican street tacos at a taqueria, come here. You know the difference and if you don’t, you don’t know Mexican food lol…
