    Decent tacos, nothing crazy and maybe a tad overpriced. Ordered three chorizo tacos which comes with cilantro, diced onions, and cheese. The place has enough seating and is relatively clean. A little out of the way for me to come back, but have seen it several times so wanted to give it a try when I could.

    New Strawberry Horchata 2 GO

    Love Big Wig Tacos I keep coming back because of their tacos, drinks, and sides. I'm obsessed with the steak, Mahi Mahi, and Barbacoa tacos. I get mine with no cheese, just cilantro and onions--simple, fresh, and SO flavorful. Pair them with the green sauce or their new avocado, cilantro, lime sauce (an absolute hit)! Their new strawberry horchata is a must-try. It's creamy, sweet, and gives major strawberry milk vibes, but with that horchata twist The rice and beans are perfection, and the guacamole with chips is fresh and satisfying every time. They're open until 5 AM, making it the perfect late-night bite. Parking, though... let's just say it's a gamble. Have someone wait in the car or stick to pick-up (their indoor seating is an option if you're lucky enough to snag parking). Oh the staff is always sooo friendly and keep the establishment clean. They individually wrap the tacos and I was hungry so will post the tacos on my next visit. The meat is really tender in my opinion for the steak tacos. Overall, Big Wig Tacos delivers every time with bold flavors and quality food. Whether it's dinner or a post-night-out feast, this spot has you covered

    Nicole the manager making a transaction after we were told only online orders are being placed.

    1 Star - Disrespectful and Discriminatory Treatment I came with my two cousins to order tacos and was immediately greeted at the door by two officers and a manager named Nicole. She informed us that only online orders were being accepted. We respected that and began walking back to the car. However, just moments later, Nicole allowed two Caucasian girls to enter and place their orders in person. I walked back to the door to politely ask why they were being served while we were turned away, and Nicole completely ignored me. I even recorded her taking their order after we were denied entry. This review is to say: go where your money is respected. I've worked in the food industry for over 10 years, and my aunt owns a restaurant -- we would never treat customers this way or show favoritism. This was a terrible experience and completely unacceptable behavior from management. Do better. 1 star.

    Customer service is amazing, always welcoming and patient when ordering. Now those taco...DELICIOUS, AMAZING, meat seasoned perfectly and not skimpy with the protein (we only get cilantro & cheese because we usually have leftovers because we are so full and it's easier to warm up). Plenty of seating and always clean. Open until 4am

We started off with chips and salsa, and the salsa was a bit too spicy for me, but everyone else enjoyed it. We started with the Chicken Poblano - a savory dish with creamy poblano sauce mixed with chicken and sliced poblano peppers topped with corn. We all enjoyed it. Most of the reviews recommended the enchiladas and we ordered a variety of them. The Enchiladas Poblanos stuffed with chicken and cheese. The poblano sauce was rich and smoky. We also had the Enchiladas Morita. They were filled with shrimp and cheese. It was so flavorful and the morita chile added so much flavor. Each dish was served with a side jicama salad. Their special was a shrimp pasta with lobster. It came with full lobster tail. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. It is also BYOB, which is a nice option. Service was excellent, friendly offered recommendations. This is probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and highly recommend.

The tamipquena is marinated in something delicious, pretty sure it includes adobo chiles, making the tamipquena flavorful and tender. The enchiladas have some of the best sauces. We especially love then poblano sauce on the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas have some tender chicken and the sauce is slightly spicy and creamy. Everyone is super friendly, the waiting staff and chef take pride in their work and it shows. I continue to strongly recommend this place for a delicious dinner out. This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. It s a cozy elevated escape.

We arrived around 7:30 on a Friday night and the place was packed. We only had to wait 10-15 minutes, which passed quickly with the live Mariachi music. The food came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. We got: - Margaritas -- piña mezcal, passion fruit and pepino. They were good but a little small for the price. - Pozole Pipian -- It has a verde base that's very light. Something that makes it unique is chicharrones on top. My daughter prefers pork over the chicken. - Carnitas Huarache -- good flavors but probably my least favorite of the meal. - Asada Torta -- this was my favorite dish of the night. The bread was really light and the meat wasn't tough at all. For dessert we got the churritos and Mexican bread pudding. Both were good but nothing special. All in all a great meal.

I arrived at the restaurant on time (4:30) and checked in with the hostess, who said I could only be seated when the entire group of three arrived. This seemed weird given the restaurant was pretty empty at this time, and ordinarily I'd order a drink while waiting at the table. Regardless, I went to Starbucks instead because I knew the other two were a few minutes behind. When I got back to the restaurant, my friend said the hostess told him we absolutely had to leave within 1.5 hours because we were late... which seemed odd because he may have checked in 15 minutes after our reservation, to an empty restaurant, that already refused to seat me on time. Regardless, the food was delicious. I had the Pollo in ChiChilo-- the mole was delicious, and I loved the chicken and sweet potato. I ordered the mole on the side, which seemed like a nice balance. Since the hostess wouldn't previously seat me, I had a lovely iced matcha latte with oat milk and half a pump of vanilla from Starbucks, which was a nice pairing. The waiter did ask if I wanted a shot of something with it, which seemed odd. Ambiance was cute, probably due for a renovation but seemed appropriate for most dining out occasions- dates, families, a day out in town. Note: the restaurant charges an automatic 20% gratuity which may explain the service. Keep this in mind to avoid tipping more than you intend. Overall, I would definitely come back, and the food and wait staff made up for the abrasive welcome.
