Went here for a team building work lunch. This was my first time dining here and I really liked…read morethe decor and overall ambiance, but it was really busy and fairly loud inside. There were 8 people in our group and they ended up seating us outside which wasn't a problem as it was warm and sunny. Once seated our server took our drink order quickly and followed up shortly with taking an order for appetizers. Which also came out fairly quickly. Our server then took our entree orders. He returned three or four times to replenish/refill drinks for the females in our group but ignored me and the other male in our group, until we asked for a refill. Our entree's took about 20 - 25 minutes to come out and there were several minutes between the first and last to make it to the table. In the business district of the town where most of their lunchtime weekday customers are workers on lunch break they need to be getting the food out the kitchen quicker. As for the food presentation was nice. Everyone's dishes looked really fresh and appetizing. Two of our team had the shrimp taco's and they was so much moisture in them they ended up eating them with a knife and fork. Another two on our team had the Quesabirria. They said it tasted good but had more cheese than Burria. As for my own dish, I had the poblanos with steak, which is three enchiladas covered in a poblano sauce with a side of rice. The portion was a reasonable size but the steak was chewy and while it wasn't bad the poblano sauce just didn't impress me. It was just plain in flavor, with not much poblano flavor. Like I mentioned earlier we were seated outside. I was about two thirds the way through my meal and found a small black hair in the sauce. Where we were sat was pretty breezy so I cannot say if the hair came with my meal or if it was blown onto my food, but it was not the best end to what I would call a lackluster meal.

And it took forever to get our check and pay. We won't be back.

I ordered the chile relleno and my friend ordered a tamale and some chicken taquitos. My friend endorses the taquitos and reported that they were flavorful and crunchy. Salsa and chips are complimentary and the salsa was pretty decent. The tamale was okay, but not the best she or I have ever had. As far as the chile relleno goes, the salsa was flavorful, but the batter was pretty soggy all around. The rice was flavorful and had a great texture to it, though the frijoles refritos tasted like they were possibly from a can or mass-produced. The beans felt and looked like soup. I also noticed that the shredded cheese placed on top of both the chile y tamale was not melted. When reheated, the cheese held its position. Several birthday parties were being celebrated in the restaurant while we were there, and the staff and owner made sure that the birthday party crowds were celebrated by clapping and singing which was sweet and made the whole place feel festive! I intend to go back and try some other dishes to determine if some authenticity shines through other dishes/plates.

After a quick elevator ride up to the second floor of the building, the entrance to Taco is very quaint and welcoming. They have a very nice patio area with about 5 tables that overlooks the Main Street that runs through downtown Springdale. We were seated inside, and served very quickly. The queso dip was absolutely amazing, and the margarita flight was an absolute banger. The reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the aisle size and not being the most kid friendly. The aisles are quite thin and we got bumped a few times by passing patrons.

The bread was crisp, the sandwich held together nicely, and it had good flavor. But I think there could've been more meat; it was basically one small layer and the ratio was off compared to other ingredients. I also wasn't a big fan of the beans - I got some very pasty bites sometimes. Fries were good. Could've been a little crispier, but not a big deal. The filled churros were absolutely delicious, but they only gave me two? It used to be 3, referencing my first review. Waitress was polite and attentive.

So plating in pictures needs to look appealing. And everything I have seen here does just that. Unfortunately, the pictures don't always match the flavor. In my surf and turf plate, the shrimp and chicken were good. But my steak lacked flavor and was tuff to cut and eat for such a thin piece of meat. This led me to believe that it lacked marinating and tenderizing. The ambience here is casual, but I do see people dressed up each time I was here. It does say "Modern Mexican grill" which also leads me to believe they played with the national drink of Cuba, "Mojito" for the title of this restaurant. For those of you who don't know, Mojito's history is traced to 16th-century Cuba. Which why it was a little confusing as a Mexican grill. Although 2 servers assured me that it was Mexican, not Cuban. The chips and salsa are always good. The drinks are always refreshing, and the service has always been great. Five stars for service
