    El Taco Boom
    Trista H.

    My girlfriend and I met up here for our monthly meet. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Credit cards are an accepted form of payment. Indoors reminded me of a Teriyaki joint rather than a Mexican restaurant. The bar area is dark and felt like a small closet. Beer choices are extremely limited. A posted sign in the window stated Happy Hour on draft beer; however, we didn't receive happy hour prices. We nibbled on complimentary chips and salsa while deciding what we were going to order. Sub-par. I had a couple draft Pacifico's for $4.56 each. My girlfriend had a couple bottles of Modelo Negra for $4.56 each. I chose the Regular Burrito for $7.75: ground beef, rice, beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo. Absolutely delicious. My girlfriend ordered the Three Taco Combo for $9.50. She stated that she enjoyed her meal choice as well. Service was all right and friendly enough. Overall, I'm glad that we tried El Taco Boom. To be honest, I will only go to El Taco Boom in the future to pick up a to-go order, rather than dine on-site.

    Plenty of other spots to go to. Ordered the 3 fish tacos combo, paid just under $17. Got told afterwards that there's no combo and it's just 3 tacos. For $17. lol. Goodluck!

    Visited this place this morning. Ordered breakfast and seems like the cook forgot to add egg. More onion than anything. 3/13/2022

    3-13-2022 terrible cook. The other cook is better. Egg Breakfast was full of onion and barely any egg. The rice was tasteless

    Really not impressed with the food, this has been my second time trying out food from this place only to give them the benefit of the doubt. This type of food is more for the "I need to soak up all alcohol in my system" Person. Pros: Price Cons: Food prep Heartburn city Basic

    I only come here for their breakfast burrito. It comes out fast and it's stuffed with potatoes, cheese and I get it with bacon. Plus they give desk tortilla chips that made in house. Love their salsa! Come here before 11 to get a discount on the price.

    Went there for lunch - got free chips and salsa, and the chicken fajita. Everything was really good. Reasonable prices for portion size.

    Luna Mexican Grill - Campechana (cocktail with shrimp, octopus, and scallops), you can order it hot, warm or cold. In my opinion it tastes better cold.

    In short Clean, bright, friendly family-style Mexican place…read more Full bar, plenty of TVs. In long I definitely miss the awesome Thai place that used to be here, but Luna offsets that nostalgia. They're doing a great job. There's a cool courtyard, with iron fencing and gating that seems to suit the Mexican decor even better than it did the previous tenant. There's a good-sized winding dining room indoors too. Brightly-colored paint, nice matching tables and chairs, some big screens probably tuned to the game. Service is right on point, cheerful and low-key, ready to make you feel right at home. You get a menu right away, water with chips and salsa in a minute or two. The drink menu isn't the main focus, but you get basic versions of most anything. I had a Luna Margarita with lots of fresh fruit in there--even had to clear the straw at one point. The chips and salsa are generic. Just pico and tomato sauce stirred up. Would be nice to see them make something in house, but not too many places do that (fewer than you might think). The carne seems to be the star of the show, and it was tasty. Ordered medium and came out closer to well, but still fully tender and juicy. Tortillas were fine, the roast corn and scallions were good, and the rice and beans held up their end of the bargain. Little bit of guac and fresca in the middle of the plate. They're working hard for your Mexican food dollar, and if you're anywhere nearby, they're easily worth a stop.

    We went here for a double date last night! Hostess was super friendly and accommodating as we…read morewalked in and asked if we prefer a booth vs table so we picked a booth! She took us to the back which featured a bar area and twinkling lights on the ceiling! Loved the plants and decors on the wall. Our server was so attentive and kind! Me and my girl friend's husband ordered the Mar Y Tierra, thinly cut steak with garlic shrimp and mushrooms on the slide with rice, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and choice of corn or flour tortillas! The steak was my favorite -- so juicy, tender and flavorful! They have a great variety of drinks! I got the watermelon basil margarita. They also have Jarritos soda which, my girl friend tried the guava and it was good! You have to get here before peak or you may not get a parking spot. They do have parking at the back but I bet if it's a peak night, it'll be crowded. We will definitely be back next time!

    Went for lunch Sunday midday. Interior was small with an eclectic decor that was well lit and…read moreclean. We were greeted and sat promptly. It was fairly busy and staff were very attentive. Ordered Cadillac margaritas which came out quickly, not very strong, good flavor overall (not too sweet). Chips and salsa were good, guacamole could use more lime. Shared a chile relleno which was standard. Daughter ordered pollo a la crema which was not overly creamy, chicken was tender. Sister got albondigas (meatball soup), broth had a nice roasted corn base. I ordered their menudo which came with tender (clean tasting) intestines, and one pata (foot). I added some of their chili oil which was smoky and balanced. Tried their other salsitas which were also good, habanero had good heat and pineapple had a nice touch of sweetness.

    In short The name helps a lot--it really is a family place,…read morelots of booths and tables packed into one dining room. But the kitchen is doing a ton of great things from scratch and the menu is huge. It's way more than just a corner Mexican spot. In long The ratings have been high forever and we've been wanting to try it for at least a year. Finally found ourselves with the right amount of time in the right location yesterday. We caught them after the lunch rush, and dude was super nice to come out and hold the door so I could wheel my bride in. There are a few flatscreens up, and in back there are single-occupant washrooms. It's not a big room, but it's festive and they clearly have regulars, judging by the warm greetings are a couple more tables filled up. We had our pick of tables and we settled in to go over the hugely long menus. Do you want something familiar or something fewer places offer? The kitchen runs the gamut here. You get fresh, light chips on the table with some delicious scratch salsa that even packs a bit of heat. We finally settled on pozole and tacos al carbon. They bring out avocado salsa and pineapple salsa, which both add a ton of good flavor. The red table salsa is where the heat is, though. The tacos were delicious, tons of juicy chopped steak inside. I went with this overly-safe pick and didn't regret it at all. The pozole was incredible, lots of real bone stewed in with the meat, tons of great flavor in the broth and super soft, tender, flavorful pork. Lots of tasty condiments. Beautifully homey and comforting soup to warm your bones on a cold wet day. We took more than half of it home--very generous portion. We also checked out a margarita and a mai tai, and both were excellent. You really have to try the food here to get the full effect of how good it is. You can kinda tell the kitchen is ambitious by reading the menu online, and that's promising for sure. But all those house-made scratch touched throughout every subrecipe will exceed even high expectations like ours. Great place, and we're dumb for taking so long to try it.
