We've lived over by this spot for 3 years and this was our first time trying it. It was lunch time and they were having a special. $2 off the chimichangas and 2 for $10 house margaritas. The chimichangas were very good and came out hot. The margaritas were good as well, not strong. The service was good and fast. Nice small restaurant. read more

This place located on the west side is usually busy but not crowded. There's a CORE group of people in the neighborhood who frequent this place regularly. The food is good, it's not great, but it is good. It is consistent. You know what you're gonna get and they produce it the same every time. They have some interesting non-standard items like a pineapple chicken, which is pretty interesting and tasty. The service is good. The place is fairly clean and the restrooms are fairly clean. There's plenty of parking and it is one minute off of I 10. read more

Warning: Don't come in here ALONE and expect to get any service at this place! The employees will ignore you -- including, the designated waitress will have a sour look on her face as she walks perpendicularly right in front of you, ignoring you, as if she hates people. Also, the cashier who's right in front of you 10' ahead. I've been here 3 times already, and had OK service and OK food those times. (If you come in alone to dine in, though, they'll put you in a non-romantic corner right next to the kitchen, though, for their convenience, unless you speak right up and say you want the darker, more comfortable second room where everyone else gets automatically seated.) This time, though, when I came in, I got no service, and am wondering if I were confused by them ALL as a DoorDash person or other person coming to simply pick up food. Even though I stood just inside the front door for minutes and kept looking at employees as they walked by (notably the snooty waitress aforementioned, who I noticed then went someplace faraway, and sat down to pout about something). So I took it upon myself to sit down at a table, and waited around for service, I made sure to try to make eye contact with each employee as he/she ignored me. 4-8 minutes I waited.... Finally I had enough, and walked out, while explaining to Mr. Cashier that I'd been waiting but being ignored for a long time. He simply said as I went through the door, "Have a nice evening!", as if he knew exactly what they'd been doing! (They don't like how customers sitting-alone LOOKS to the other guests, is that it??? Hmm, that kinda sounds like illegal discrimination. By the way, I'm a "pleasant-looking" tall middle-aged white man who dresses appropriately.) Never again will I waste my time there! They'd had good sangrías when I was there before, though the food is definitely nothing to write home about. I actually went out of my WAY again to go there (4 miles from my house, vs. 2 BETTER Mexican places, Salsa's and Rigo's on W. Beaver St., being only 2 miles from my house), just was going to try CDM out again. But, NEVER AGAIN. (By the way, after that I then drove right over to Salsa's on W. Beaver -- and had a GREAT experience there, as per usual.) NASTY SERVICE. So-so food. Sangrías are pretty good, that's IT. read more

3 words: Grilled...Chicken...Tacos. So basic, yet so perfect. Simple tacos on corn tortillas with onion and cilantro. The hot sauce served with them is unique in that the heat doesn't overwhelm the flavor. Even if you don't like 'hot', I think you'll enjoy this sauce. These with a cold Dos Equis amber and you've found my happy place! The Covid-19 mess put a real damper on Taco Tuesday. Not being able to go in and get that cold Dos Equis while waiting on my tacos was a real bummer. Fortunately, their takeout is just as good. With the recent crisis, we've eaten a lot of takeout, and theirs has been pretty good-accurate and timely. Looking forward to 'normal' Taco Tuesday. read more

Not sure what those negative reviews are about. The food here is very good and reasonably priced. Love their refried beans and the yellow rice is a treat in and of itself! So far I have had Burritos and Enchiladas... and they were all delicious. The house Margaritas are not the best ever (I'm sure they use a pre-made mix) but they do not lack for quantity and reasonable quality of alcohol - I think they use Jimador, which is far from an awful Tequila. Overall, I am very enamored of this place, especially as it is just down the road from me!! read more

I've ordered food to-go from here probably close to 15 times so far and all 15 times I've had consistent good to great service. The food is the traditional Mexican style cuisine, the quality as well as portions are great too. The restaurant itself is always clean looking and while busy, I've never seen it "untidy" or cluttered. The service is very patient with you when figuring out what you want, they'll even explain the menu and any changes. Once I ordered a margarita to go with my meal and when I got there, I was told they were out of the size medium cup but made it up to me by giving a size large at no extra charge. Those people are going to get my money every time I'm in the mood for Mexican food. read more

He pointed to the server and said she was our server. She took our order and was very engaged with other tables, but not ours so much. It was obvious we weren't happy. The food was good as always.

If you're looking for a lively place and want to see some flaming food presentations, it's worth checking out.

I also ordered a queso cheese for my chips. Thank you Tepeyolot! Guess what? You're my 2000 review! Pros:great food, service and fun games to play. Cons:side parking is tight, but plenty of parking in the back, with a rear door to enter. Perk:They have live bands every Friday. Recommend? Yes, I sure do!! Owner: Luis-very nice man

It was the grossest Mexican food I have ever had. I will say if we didn't pay almost $100 for this…read morefood I probably would've be here complaining but when paying more expensive prices for Mexican food I will share and speak my peace! First off we ordered steak burritos- paid extra... the meat was literally STEW meat- not steak! It was so disgusting. Secondly, the ground beef tacos tasted good until you realized how crusty the meat was- as if it had been sitting ALL DAY in a bin! And lastly the nachos were exactly the same crusty old chicken meat!! We ordered pretty much every meat there and all was DISGUSTING and we had to throw out because meat sitting around all day can't be healthy! My recommendation is to NOT come here for the food!

I visited Taco Way for the first time recently on a Tuesday to check it out. They have two kiosks…read moreat the counter that you order from. The 30% off code - LOVETACOS - is good on the entire menu on Taco Tuesdays. The deal & code are advertised on a window poster you'll notice as you walk up in addition to another poster advertising a great lunch deal available. I ordered the Shrimp Tacos (corn tortillas, lettuce, breaded fried shrimp, chipotle mayo, and cilantro) minus pico & they were great. The shrimp were freshly fried and steaming hot. I had to wait a bit because a large catering order was being finished as I arrived. The manager offered me a free Jarritos and apologized profusely for my wait. I took it as a good sign that their tacos are that popular plus it gave me time to enjoy the gorgeous murals by ARTBYJAE. I visited the Baymeadows location (open until 3am Fri/Sat & 1am Sun-Th) & they now have a second location on Parental Home Rd (open until 1am Fri/Sat & 11pm Sun-Th).

My sister, son and I were looking for something for dinner at 10pm on a Tuesday. There wasn't much…read moreopen but I happened to look and was pleasantly surprised that Taco Way was still open!! My sister placed an order and picked up the order. Since it was taco Tuesday we each got three birria tacos. The meat itself was fairly flavorful and the consome was decent. I appreciated they charred the outside of the tortilla and it was nicely crisped. Since I'm from Southern California, I was expecting some type of hot sauce like all of our taco shops offer, but sadly there was none. I would have loved a little spice, but the tacos were very good with the onions. I was pleasantly surprised they were out of cilantro, which for me makes me happy since I'm not a fan of the stuff. Overall it was a good meal and for Florida, they were pretty decent birria tacos.

Above all else - they have always been friendly, accommodating and welcome us with good food, cold drinks & tasty chips & salsa! The restaurant is well decorated & the staff is super helpful. Everything I've tried - tacos, burritos, taquitos, enchiladas - have all been delicious. On good authority, ive heard their chicken soup is incredible (and plentiful). When you come to a restaurant with 20 people and you're served promptly, treated courteously and properly fed - you come back again & again - and we do!

Ok Mexican food. 3/5 stars. Portions are ok. But food was bland. After living in San Diego,…read moreexpectations are high. Ok, for a quick fix but not my go to for this type of food.

Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you try somewhere new. The customer service was top notch. You walk in, order on their super easy kiosks, grab a seat, and the food comes out fast even during the lunch rush. Everything felt organized and welcoming, not rushed. Definitely a place we'd go back to next time we're in the area.

Tried a few different tacos plus the guacamole and chips here on a Friday night. The tacos were…read morepretty middling- the tortillas seemed like they might have been fresh made, but they had mostly disintegrated by the time they arrived at the table, leaving me to spoon up the contents. The mahi taco was probably the best, along with the steak al pastor, but everything was oversauced (which didn't help the tortillas survive). The guacamole, however, was excellent. Service was friendly but not especially quick, though it was a Friday. The ambiance is generic Town Center. Might give it another try, but not in a rush.
