    Finally picked up dinner from here and it did not disappoint. I loved the chicken tinga quesadilla I got, plus the salsas are so fresh and delicious. My partner got tacos and loved them too. The staff were also welcoming and nice. Can't wait to come back!

    Food was good. tasted fresh. staff was friendly, rice and beans tasted good nothing crazy. Not a horrible price for 3 tacos rice and beans. Me and my husband both ordered the same meal and only one of us got the console that was included in the meal when it should have been 2. overall good experience. would return!

    I've been here twice and I'm loving it so far! Dishes are prepared fairly quickly. From what I understand, Halal meat is used. There's several salsas to choose from. The staff is friendly. Inside is fairly contemporary. Since I live nearby, it's an easy walk for a hearty meal. I love their tortas and burritos! Serving size is hefty. You definitely get your moneys worth.

    Actually stopped in while I was waiting for my pizza at Domino's in the same strip. Super cool mural outside and very clean inside. Tried the chicken pastor since they are halal. It was good but not great and served with chips. $4.05 after tax so bring a nickel if paying cash. They also have churros but I didn't try. Service was fast and friendly. They have 3 salsas: roja, verde, habanero

    We were looking for a halal place Mexican restaurant for quite some time now and think we found the place! The food is authentic and really well seasoned. Plus the amazing salsa's really provide a great flavor to the food. We ordered the chicken burrito, taco dinner (2 steak and 1 chicken) and 1 quesobirria taco. All of it was really good. Highly recommended. The service was fast and is really helpful with navigating the menu. The ambiance was very chill and the place is very clean. We will be coming back to try more items on the menu and we sincerely hope Taco Moro succeeds!

    Steak Burrito, tacos, chips & guac were bomb.com!

    This place is a hidden gem! I can't believe theres finally Zabiha halal mexican food in the city. Staff was extremely polite and the food was amazing and tastes very authentic. I can't wait to bring my whole family here thank you guys for opening! This made my day. I ordered a steak burrito, barbacoa tacos, and chips with guac. And one of the staff members was nice enough to offer me a free taco to try because I was skeptic about the birria tacos but I was too stuffed. 10 stars. Thanks again guys. This is definitely my new spot.

The meat is made to order and the salsas are so good. You get a variety of spice levels. Take them to go or eat them in your car! This is an outdoor taco stand so there's no seating available.

We yelped this and made our way over...this is in the neighborhood which means parking is not the easiest so it may possibly be a double parking blinker situation. It's a little tent with a grill and everything is made to order. There was a nice clip of walk ups and he cooks until no more folks roll up...so although Yelp says 11pm...if there are people ...they will be fed! Since it's in the neighborhood definitely want to be cognizant of not being rowdy. I had 2 carne asada steak tacos and a steak quesadilla! Flavors were on point! I ate a taco out of the trunk of my hatchback and had a quarter of the quesadilla...and was stuffed! Took the rest home and had a whole other meal! Fairly quick, tasty, no frills street tacos! Level of sketchy was mild but as in anywhere..when out later, you'll want to be aware of your surroundings.

    I was craving a shrimp burrito so I decided to come here. I have walked past this place many times…read morebut never tried it. I stopped by with my pup to order shrimp burrito to go. Evelyn greeted us right away and placed my order. I asked for spicy salsa so she recommended the gobernador salsa which was a green spicy salsa made with poblanos. Evelyn was so sweet! She gave my puppy a treat and also brought out a bowl of water for him while we waited for the food. The inside of the restaurant was really cute and colorful and they had a separate bar area for drinks. I decided to order a spicy michelada with Pacifico beer while waiting. The bartender was super nice and made my drink quickly. It was the perfect amount of spice and was so refreshing! My burrito came out quick for how packed the inside of the restaurant was. The burrito was a good size and was so fresh and tasty! The gobernador salsa was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try something different and this time dine in.

    My aunt introduced me to Tacombi yesterday, and I am so glad she did! The restaurant is really cute…read moreinside, and the food was so good. I had the Mexican street corn to start and then the lunch special with two tacos, rice, and beans. I got the carne asada and crispy fish taco. The carne asada is simple with just steak and onions, but so good! The sauce and the cabbage on the crispy fish taco is really good too. I usually don't love a corn tortilla, but these tacos were so flavorful that the corn tortilla was perfect.I also had the watermelon agua fresca, and it was refreshing and not too sweet. One of the staff members, Chris, was such a vibe. He greeted us friendly and professional as soon as we walked and came over later to check on us, and chatted with me and my aunt. Our waitress was amazing too, and several other staff members stopped by to check on us throughout our meal. Exceptional service like this can be hard to find so I really appreciated it. For me, it's a 5 out of 5 because the food and the service are equally great. I highly recommend! I forgot to take pictures but take my word for it lol.

    My first time here, and it was such a great experience. Delicious food and a really fun vibe!…read more We walked in around 12:30pm Saturday, and even though the place was pretty packed, we were seated right away! I ordered the Paloma, and my husband got the Michelada, both super refreshing and made well. For food, I ordered the El Gringo with rice and salad. I definitely wish I had swapped the salad for beans, because my husband got both rice and beans, and I ended up finishing my rice and helping with his too lol. Highly recommend this dish, just go for the beans instead of the salad! My husband also ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Carne Asada, all of which were really good. One of the fun touches is that they have QR codes at the table to leave a Google review, and if you do, you get to spin a prize wheel. Of course I had to try it, and it made the whole experience even more fun. I ended up winning a free double shot! The staff were all super friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the music gave it a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!
