    Tried AQ Tacos. I enjoyed it. I call it fancy tacos. Tacos are delicious. They're a bit pricey. You get what you pay for. Quality products and ingredients. Well worth the price. Tacos are filling and flavorful. Staff is really nice. Timothy and his crew are friendly. Good people. I enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance. Relaxing environment. Nice decor. Best part or experience was their ice cream. OMG. It was so good. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I would come back here again on payday. Recommended.

    Crushed Tortilla Chips
    Kirby K.

    Very Pleasant experience at this NEW Taco spot in town. It just opened; and is Shiny and inviting. The girl at the register was friendly and the gentleman in the back (Most likely the owner) was very friendly too. I ordered the "Walking Taco" first time to have "nacho style" dish served in a bag. The Steak was perfect. The flavors you would expect were all there. But the only negative thing I would have to say was that the bag was filled with all crushed tortilla chips (the kind you would find at the bottom of a bag that was crushed). I'm no expert but it was annoying to see that all the chips were crushed. This would be my only issue with the "Walking Taco". This made the dish not so appetizing. Did I say that they are Very Friendly there. Customer Service gets 5 stars. I hope to come back to try their other menu offerings.

    $12 grass fed Australian  Ribeye taco.

    I was excited to see a new restaurant open in the neighborhood and wanted to give it a try before bringing my family. Unfortunately, the pricing felt very high for what was served. A single taco was $12, and a carne asada quesadilla was $17, with a drink and a small cup of rice and beans, the total came to over $30. At those prices, I expected the food to really stand out, but it didn't. The taco was decent, but it wasn't memorable or worth the premium cost in my opinion. The portions were also smaller than expected. The menu was also very limited which could be good if the items were outstanding. The service was good, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. However, the overall value just wasn't there for me. I wish the restaurant success, but I don't see myself returning regularly.

    6/2026: chips, ribeye taco, and Birria taco.

    I've been staring at the lower ratings for AQ Tacos like a confused puppy. Are we eating at the same restaurant?! So I came here for lunch hoping to get an asada burrito. I was I bit disappointed being that it's Birria and ribeye, but since I was already there I thought I'd give it a try. Honestly, I'd go back. Yes, the prices might make your wallet sweat a *little* bit, but for the quality and service? I'm good! The entire place is clean and not cluttered, you could probably eat off the floors, though I'd recommend using the tables. The service was so warm and welcoming that I felt like a VIP guest at a taco gala. Now, let's talk about the food, because it deserves being talked about: * **The Ribeye Taco:** I recommend. I was braced for those awkward, chewy chunks of steak that you have to battle with. Instead, the ribeye was sliced beautifully, flat, and was tender that practically melted in my mouth. The melted cheese in the tortilla was a nice touch. Oh and Those added Chicharrones...Oh, the *crunch*! They had that perfect, airy, crunchy texture to the ribeye taco. The grilled onions were so good especially because they were not burnt. If you like your grilled onions burnt you may want request it. They were perfect for me. I'm * **The Tortillas:** yum! I'm not a corn tortilla gal because I feel the corn flavor takes up all the flavor (I'm a burrito gal for the flour tortilla)...I was pleasantly surprised. You can instantly tell they are homemade. Well I'm not sure if they but they sure taste like it. If you've been to 5 Puntos in Boyle Heights...these tortillas reminded me of a thin version of those. They were warm, soft, pillowy, and held everything together like a delicious edible hug. * **The Birria & Consomé:** I have had my variety of Birria (growing up with Mexican friends and being married to a Mexican with like 20 Tias who all make it), though my benchmark is Birria El Cunado in Rosario...mmmm yummy! Anywho...The birria was juicy, wonderfully seasoned, and absolutely *not* dry (my biggest pet peeve!). The consume was a rich savory flavor bomb that I definitely drank the side of consume like a cup of coffee. * **The Chips:** A nice, complimentary little touch to kick off the meal. The red salsa had vibrant flavor without burning my tastebuds off. A light kick with citrus hints. I'll definitely be back for lunch.

    I wanted to like this place but not my vibe. In the photo is $21 dollars of food . 1 rib eye taco ,chips and a side of beans. This is a restaurant for a certain clientele. The taco was subpar and the beans were bland . The hot sauces were actually decent and helped. I'm sorry couldn't leave a better review it's right up the street from my house .

    Henry H.

    $12 for a taco "rib eye " I know a food truck that's a mile away that makes a taco worth $12 but sells them for $3.50 Good luck to you guys and yes I had to try it and it was good but not $12 good

    Had a really good experience here, we were greeted as soon as we walked in the door & got all our food very quickly. The tacos are a decent size & the meat is very good quality. will definitely be coming back here again

Just 1 day ago a review was left saying they got sick...but we went anyway. That worry didn't last long. The place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and since it was our first time, they walked us through the menu and helped us pick. As soon as we walked in, we felt that cool beach/surf, ocean-inspired theme throughout the restaurant. We ordered the battered shrimp tacos, which were excellent, and tried the stingray tacos too -- not something you get to eat just anywhere, and they didn't disappoint. There were multiple house-made salsas and sauces to go with everything. We also got a burrito, which ran close to $20 -- on the pricier side, but it lasted me two full days, so you can judge the value for yourself. It's a seafood spot, so the higher prices make sense once you're there. Overall, this is one of those places you really have to experience in person. Highly recommend giving it a shot, even if it means a slightly bumpier drive to find it.

Burrito was a nice size, my husband was content and not overly full or still hungry after. Burrito had a good amount of asada in it as well! (some places can get stingy with the meat!) Their chili oil is SOOOO GOOD! good flavor and spice (i'm a big fan of spicy food and chili oil is one of my personal faves to add to a meal! there chili oil hit the spot!) we liked our first visit so much we both were craving it again and went back 2 days later prettt sure we found a new local personal favorite!

I walked in on a Friday evening and was surprised there was no line. I was immediately greeted by a woman who took my order, great service from the start. The two women working were doing everything themselves, from taking orders to making the food fresh, and still kept things moving at a very reasonable pace. I ordered the shrimp burrito with light rice and got the chipotle sauce on the side. They also have a CLEAN self serve bar with salsas, cucumbers, and limes, which is always a nice touch. The burrito was huge and so good. My plan was to eat half in the car and save the rest for later... but I ended up sitting in the parking lot and finishing the whole thing. Every bite had perfectly seasoned shrimp, no skimping at all. The interior is clean, minimal, and has plenty of seating. 10/10, definitely recommend.
