Wow. I loved the service we received from Emily at the Decatur location. She was really on the ball…read moreand did a great job of helping us with our dine-in and take-out orders. She got everything right and we got the correct food. To be honest, we hadn't eaten at any of the Fuzzy's locations in a long time after a couple of not so great experiences at the Argyle, Roanoke, and Denton locations back to back. We happened to be in Decatur on the square and tried to go to Rooster's first, but left there in search of food and adult beverages. (Reviewing them next. Be sure to check out my review.) We were totally surprised at how great the food was. I don't know if it's just this location that has raised the bar and improved the food and service , but they really hit a home run for us. The beer was cold, the chips were light and crispy, the salsa fresh, and the shrimp tacos were amazing. We also had a brisket taco each and they were perfect as well. (Seriously. It's tacos and this is Texas so how hard can it be? Apparently it is, because we have been disappointed with greasy and soggy tacos at other places, but the staff at this Fuzzy's nailed it.) So maybe you've never been a fan of Fuzzy's, or like us once were but are no longer fans ... take a chance and give this location a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. In fact, ask for Emily and tell we said she was awesome.

Waited 22 minutes on two tacos. When I went to check on it they guys told me "tough sh$&, we are…read morebusy. Then they were cold Never coming back.

I decided to stop by this location yesterday cause I wanted to order some shrimp and fish taco…read moretacos for me and my friends. I ordered two Baja fish tacos one that was fully loaded, one that only had lettuce, pico, and one that was just lettuce only. I ordered two shrimp tacos again one fully loaded and one with just lettuce. I also ordered a side of refried beans and rice. M the first disappointment was the lack of Customer Service not one person acknowledged the two or three of us that walked in for a good five minutes not even a hello. M one person walked out and the other person was trying to get some questions answered about the menu and I don't know if they weren't able to give him the answers he was looking for it, but he walked out I placed my order to go and it took nearly 15 minutes. During this time, there was one pick up order so I'm not sure why it was taking so long and there were like five or six people in the kitchen. When I finally got my order, I brought it home and when we opened it, we noticed that there is a very chemical smelling odor to the fish and the shrimp tacos, and the two that I had specifically ordered with just lettuce came fully loaded so one of my friends wasn't able to eat anything which was probably lucky for them because the two of us that were able to eat them got food poisoning. My one friend got sick within a couple of hours of eating and I got sick not long after that and was sick pretty much all night. To pay nearly $40 for the amount of food we order and to be that ill was not the best experience. There are other local Mexican restaurants that have much better tasting fish tacos in the area and much more reasonably priced with their menu Sadly, I will not be returning

The name of this place is so generic that I never really bothered to research further. My coworker…read morewas raving about how good this place was. She attempted to stop by during lunch two days ago, and there were two big groups in front of her. The backup plan was to order food for the office via DoorDash today since everyone's lunchtime was limited. Let's start with the fact that they had everyone's orders correctly. Since it was my first time testing them out, I tried the three taco plates with carne asada, carnitas, and barbacoa. Their green salsa gave me a good kick. Hands down to the carne asada though. The carnitas and barbacoa were average. My other coworkers probably knew this because two of them went for the carne asada torta. I also love their corn tortillas. It's right next to 7/11. Parking was relatively easy. Apparently, they also serve breakfast burritos. I need to try that next time.

The service is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the location is convenient. The only downside is that prices are a bit higher than you might find at similar taco shops in places like Arlington or Lewisville, but that's understandable given the area. Even so, the quality makes it worth it. I've brought numerous clients, friends, and family here over the years, and everyone has loved it. It's become one of my regular recommendations, and I'll definitely be back again and again.

I tell her I have a DoorDash order to pick up. She says let me go check on that. She leaves and comes back a few minutes later saying it likes about five minutes. DoorDash doesn't send out an offer until the establishment has had time to prepare the order. Once the driver accepts the offer the order should be almost done, and by the time the driver gets there they should not have to wait, but sometimes it happens. No biggie. 10 minutes pass and I go ask the girl that's just sitting down behind the checkout counter how much longer it will be. She says let me go check on that and leaves again for a few minutes then comes back and says it likes five more minutes. They're just working on the quesadilla. I said the whole order was quesadillas any they don't even take five minutes let alone 15. she went back to the back and grabbed the order and brought it straight to me. I said thank you as she was handing me the two bags and the receipt and a very large man walked up behind her with his chest puffed out and his hands fisted to his side and said what's your name? I know they can see who the driver is on the app that is picking up the order but I am female 46 years old 5' maybe 120 pounds and he was 3x my size coming up on me like that. I said George, no idea why, first thing I thought of and jetted to the door with the order. He scared me seriously. To make matters worse, their door is broken so when I pushed it scared, and in a hurry, it swung all the way back and hit the little umbrella stand behind it. I immediately bent down to pick up the umbrella that slid to place it back up properly and that dude was right beside me and said now you're breaking sh@t? I said I apologize. I did not mean to do that and he said get out of my fu€king Restaurant and never come back and I said why because you can't get orders out on time OK and walked out the second door... Dudes body odor was horrendous as well I can see why there was no one there at lunch and every other restaurant in town is packed!

Good street tacos at a reasonable price! Their salsas are…read moreflavorful and got some heat to them. I like them both the green is a thicker salsa and the red pours easy on your tacos. Both of them pair well with whatever you order. They provide you with 2 salsas one of each with your order. I ordered 3 tacos and got two salsas. Today I ordered 6 tacos and asked for more than the two they provided. So he charged me .50 cents for each extra salsa I ordered! I don't mind paying for the extras as long as I can get what I want! But I believe it's reasonable to assume that the more tacos you ordered you would get a couple of more salsa's with the order? I do understand a small business watching the controls as some customers would take as much as they can get for free! I'm just a person who really likes my Mexican food to be drenched in salsa! I normally use one container per taco if I'm able to get it? Sometimes it's a hit and miss? But like I said I don't mind the extra charges for the salsa cups I wanted! I just think two cups is just not enough for 6 tacos and this time it was hard to pay that price! He did give me the taco Tuesday prices but by the time I paid for the extra salsa it made it regular price so I guess I save $2 so that's something Go check them out they i'm at dialysis have a drive thru and are fairly quick with the orders and I've like everything I've tried so far! Just keep in mind the extra charge for the salsa as it's posted on the menu board as well

This was my first time trying this restaurant and it was so good! Authentic Mexican flavors 10/10!!…read moreI have one Barbacoa and one Al Pastor. Both are very delicious, but the Barbacoa was my favorite. The sauces are also good. Beware the red is very spicy, but I loved it. Definitely will be going back!

I ask for extra bang bang sauce because it is my key to happiness! The queso is quite tasty and their chips are so good. The chips are lightly seasoned with some kind of yummy seasoning. Now, I normally hate frozen margaritas, but Crush Taco's are a whole exception--I go big and get a jug (they aren't huge like they sound but a good size) - because margaritas should always be fun-sized! And they are made with real tequila and not wine based! The vibe is super casual and totally chill. It has a nice little patio that has a cute guardian owl! They also have indoor seating too. It's always nice and clean! The customer service has always friendly and on point. Warning: Once you try Crush Taco... You might just get a new crush too!!!

I'm always a sucker to try a place's chips and salsa and if you have a good salsa I'm hooked. Your salsa is Elite, do not change the recipe, ever! You've just earned a regular customer! Especially since the quality of other places like Rosa's has gone down. I had: Brisket breakfast taco w/egg and ligh cheese 4.9/5 (the oil/butter can seep a little bit from the tortillas so this may be an issue for some people, but not me) Chicken breakfast taco w/egg and light cheese 4.9/5 (chicken seasoned WELL but again, some people may trip on the butter from the tortillas)
