Wow! We were extremely impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere on this Monday evening…read more I'm not a huge Mexican food fanatic, but my wife and son certainly are, so we chose this restaurant to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday; especially since a margarita was high on her list of birthday wishes! The menu offers a tremendous variety of choices. I decided on the steak tacos, and they were outstanding and packed with flavor and just the right amount of kick.Our waiter (who may have been the manager, Enrique, if I heard correctly) was soft-spoken, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire meal. We never had to wait for anything. He even took care of our to-go boxes and accommodated a last-minute addition to our order without hesitation; thank you for that. Great service like that makes a lasting impression. Also the food came out surprisingly quick; under 10 minutes for sure. Before visiting, all I really knew was that the restaurant had a strong reputation and colorful, authentic décor. I left with a full stomach, a new appreciation for their food, and a clear understanding of why so many people enjoy dining here. We'll definitely be back!

All special instructions were followed to a T. Chips were wonderful and needed no salsa or dipping sauce. Unsure how I felt about the pineapple slaw with the jerk chicken but other than that I would say this is worth a try for the portions alone. Look at the size of that burrito!

Beans were nice and creamy, rice tasted box-like, a bit tough. Veggies were fine; tomatoes, zucchini, onions and peppers. It came with pico & cheese, sour cream was extra. Hot sauce on the side tasted like good old bottled hot sauce. Food with a drink it came to $23. Staff was helpful, ambiance is like an older fast food joint.

I finally tried out XO TACO a few weeks back, and it made me happy…read more The room is really beautiful, while still feeling sort of casual. I love the plug-in lighting, spread out all around the ceiling, and the bright colors. I sat at the bar and had a beer and a couple of tacos. Service was quick and fairly friendly. They had some decent beers on tap (I had a sour which was pretty good). The taco selection looked pretty good. My street taco with pork was just pork with some gravy in a taco (plus some veggies), but it hit the spot. Similarly, my chorizo taco (I asked for it mild, and I don't know if they toned it down or it's just CNY spicy) was pretty solid, with plenty of meat, enough cheese and slaw, and an overall good taste. Neither of these tasted like SoCal or NorCal tacos, but there are a lot of different tacos out there from a lot of different places, and I don't want to get started on authenticity. It tasted good.

I was not a fan of the tortilla, something was off about it. The meat could use more seasoning. They do really fill the taco though which is nice so you do get a decent portion for what you pay.
