    This place had the largest birria tacos that I've ever seen, and the consome was SO good! I took a bite after dunking the taco into the consome and immediately thought that this meal was so comforting with its shredded beef, warm sauce, and oozy, cheesy goodness. They also don't skimp on the protein, so you're getting your monies worth! I wasn't able to eat more than 1.5 tacos and was concerned that it would be a soggy mess, but it was just as good after zapping it in the air fryer. 5/5 stars for flavor, portion size, value, and excellent service.

    Stopped in at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. Received the complementary chips and salsa but immediately ordered some queso cheese dip. I should.have just tasted the salsa. Wow, it was fantastic. I ordered what I normally do. Beef burrito and a beef taco. Tacos in my opinion are always little questionable of whether I will like them or not but being this is my first visit, I had to give them a shot. The hard taco shell was very crispy with great flavor. I don't know if they make them at the restaurant or not but they were very very good. They were filled over 50% with beef and just a little lettuce and cheese to cover the top. The service was adequate, I never ran out of chips nor drink. I'll definitely go back a second time.

    The food is amazing. We drive 26 miles just to dine here. We almost always order the same dish. I'm sorry but I forgot the name of the dish and the online menu is not updated. I included a picture. The staff and service is always friendly and fast. Everything we've tried from this restaurant has been perfect.

    NOT dog friendly. We wanted to sit outside on the patio with our dog while we were traveling. We were told our dog was not allowed and had to stay outside the gate. Fortunately our dog is more well-behaved than the patrons of this restaurant. We had to watch a guy unzip his fly (the truck is from an Italian buffet in St Clair) and pee on his tire right outside of where we were sitting. Thank goodness for hand sanitizer. We informed the waitress of this and she just laughed. Won't go to either restaurant again.

    Been here multiple times, food is usually pretty good. Salsa has been very good 4/5 times we have been. Service is always fast.

    Service was terrible. We waited 20 mins for our margaritas and over an hour for our food on a Sunday afternoon.

    Hands down the best Mexican in Union. Margaritas are so delicious and definitely give you a bang for your buck.

    This place was awesome when it was Streetside Tacos, the service not as great when it became Front…read moreStreet Tacos... but Naomi's might just be the rock bottom that shutters the doors. 3rd attempt at this place since Sunday, May 2nd when they had a tent on the parking lot for Cinco de Mayo and weren't serving inside. That day, the food was already put away and foiled at 6:00 pm and surrounded by disinterested staff that implied they could open it up if we really wanted something. We just left. Last Sunday the building was dark and the closed sign on the door at 12:15pm. Google said they were open, maybe someone overslept? Tonight, at 7: 00pm, they were slow. Only 3 small tables of people inside. I ordered a Loco Burrito and a beer.. for $18+... Advised I would be on their patio (no wait staff)... Waited about 10 min or so... Checked on the burrito.. They seem surprised it wasn't made.. Despite no one in the place and my ticket hanging in plain sight in the prep area. Canceled the burrito, got my money back and left. They only get the 1 star because one good thing about this place is it forces you to try other restaurants in Washington since you can't seem to get a meal here. BTW... If Naomi's food is good the locals haven't heard.. The place now seems to be dead when we drive by, and it was basically empty tonite at 7:00pm.

    Great nachos and quesadilla service was a little slow but our waitress was really hustlingread more
