    This place was great! We stopped in with our two toddlers on a Tuesday for lunch. The service was great, friendly and was patient with my 4 year old when he asked for just whipped cream to eat. Haha. Food was so so good!

    The food isn't bad but it just lacks seasoning, I've gotten tacos, quesadillas, etc. and you get a lot of food for your money but the food lacks flavor and seasoning. We ate there twice to make sure we gave it a chance.

    This food we had was probably our least favorite of the four different restaurants we ate at during our stay in Port Orchard. My friend and I love Mexican, but this just didn't hit the spot right. The food for the price was decent, but the meal as a whole lacked a bit of flavor. The retried beans tasted like mush, Mexican rice was a little oily than usual. Overall a lot blander than other Mexican places that I have been to. I think I expected much from this restaurant because it had such good ratings, but it has not met my expectations unfortunately.

    3 combo plate with chimichanga, tamale, and enchilada.

    Swift service and delicious food! I tried a bit of everything and the grilled chicken was delicious. Exactly what I was looking for with Mexican food. We ate in and the margaritas were great. They also took care to refill chips and salsa promptly.

    Chicken taquito plate. Tasted like chicken jerky deep fried in tortillas

    Oredered the tacos AL carbon with shredded chicken. The chicken in the tacos tasted like chicken left over from the previous day. Was extremely dry and chewy almost like jerky. The beans on the side were super dry and cracking as if they were yesterdays beans, the rice was ok. We Also ordered the chicken taquito plate. Same results. Chicken jerky deep fried in tortillas! Beans dry and cracking, rice ok. Also ordered a Cadillac margarita. Was extremely weak, could only taste the orange and lime pulp in it (never seen a margarita with whole fruit and pulp in it)! Only reason for 2 stars is love the chips and salsa and the server was nice.

    For 25 bucks you can get a pizza that blows anything Pizza Hut is offering out of the water. It…read morecomes with copious amounts of salsa, guacamole and other yummy stuff like lime, onions, and cilantro. The birria is fresh and delicious. The service was fast, respectful and genuinely a joy to talk to. Ambience could use some work but for what's being done with the place it's fine. The only reason I even came in to get this was because I couldn't believe Pizza Hut with a straight face tried to charge me 30 a pop for a 2 topping. Why would I ever give them money when I can get something infinitely better for the same price or cheaper from an actual sit down restaurant

    The food is good. It's not cheap, but you normally get a good portion, and it's filling…read more I really want to love this place, but the inconsistency is really starting to make it difficult. First off, towards the beginning of the year, when we tried to call in orders, they had changed their number, and when you looked it up, it came up as a completely different name: "Taqueria Mucho." There was no explanation, it still said Birrieria Tijuana on the building, and there was no mention of any changes. Over the summer, they weren't even staying open their advertised hours, although that seems to have been resolved. Also, you used to get lots of onions, limes, and sauces to go with your tacos, but even that has changed for the worse. Last time, we ordered 12 tacos and got two bags of onions and limes. Each bag is good for about two tacos. This time, just one bag for 10 tacos, and the limes have definitely seen better days. I understand if they felt they were wasting food and wanted to changed the portions, but then communicate. I get not everyone eats them. I personally don't need 5. I'd have been fine with 2 or 3 bags, but not 1. Then, they tie the takeout bags off, so you can't check your order. Nothing is worse than getting home to find out you don't have onions. Certainly not driving 10-15 mins each way to go back and have cold food. The other taco place I go to asks you each time how many salsas you want and gives you exactly that many. Would be pretty easy to do that here. Furthermore, they now use to-go containers that don't breathe, so I got home to 10 soggy tacos that cost over $50. Maybe they ended up with the wrong ones from a vendor, but then take a few minutes to cut holes in like other places do. I get it, times are tough in the restaurant industry, but $50 for soggy tacos, barely any onions, and no limes doesn't make me want to spend money here.
