    Ordered for my classroom Christmas party. Taco Bar- Chose 2 meats-ground beef and brisket. I added on a chips and guac. What an amazing meal. They provided all the toppings and everything was packaged beautifully. It was ready on time and was nice and hot. Everyone loved it. The restaurant was also decorated very festive. I would not hesitate to order from here again. Great food, a lot of it and superb value.

    Lake Taco is located on Tiogue Lake in Coventry, RI. There were plenty of parking and the location is gorgeous. They specialize in BBQ; there is a BBQ pit onsite that was custom built in 2023. They also create delicious mezcal and tequila drinks. There is a patio dining area, a spacious open dining area, and a bar. When we went on Saturday evening, the place was packed and there was live music. The energy was lively and I love that it's kid friendly. We didn't get a server for a few minutes, I think there was a slight confusion as to who was handling our table. There were 3 different people that came over, so it was rectified; everyone was cordial. We started off with mac and cheese and chips and salsa for the kids. I had a margarita flight ($16) it was amazing! There were 4 different flavors, bartenders choice, and I liked them all. For my meal, I got the Houston Quesitaco ($18); it had corn tortilla, chili oil, cheese blend, smoked brisket, onion, cilantro, and au jus to dip in. I liked it, it was good. However, I had a taste of my husband's and loved it more. He had the Brisky Business ($17) which had flour tortilla, smoked brisket, creamy slaw, pickled onion, and alabama white sauce. Amazing. Overall, we had a great dinner and would definitely go back!

    What a gem! Beautiful picturesque view of the lake! We sat outside on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner. So quiet and calm by the water. Service was lovely. We ordered Lake Tacos to share, I got the brisket sandwich, and he got the california burrito. Tacos were delicious, would definitely order those again and even interested in trying the other tacos. Brisket sandwich was also pretty good, I enjoyed the potato scoops that came with it. The california burrito was very underwhelming compared to everything else. Not something we would get again. However, we would definitely come back for the views and vibes alone and order other things off their menu.

    BBQ CHICKEN BOWL (3.5/5) really good portion, lacked a little flavor. Overall, liked it.

    I came here with an open mind. First off, I'll be rating based on the food and service and I'll go on record saying it's generous giving 4 stars. I wish yelp allowed half stars. This is not a spot you'll come to get a quick dinner and get out on a Friday/Saturday night. Our service was very slow, but the place is large and there were about 4 servers there so not exactly a lot to cover all that ground and tables. Our server was very polite and even brought us some complimentary chips as an apology for the wait it took between taking drink orders and food orders. The food: the smoked wings were fantastic. Good flavor, crisp snappy skin that wasn't chewy. The flavor we got that used a dry rub was a little weak, but the sauced one was delicious. Overall, great execution in the wings. I was between a couple options. I decided to go with the chicken bbq bowl and al la carte Brisket because I just needed to try it. Good lord, it was an absurd amount of food. I see some reviews on here complaining about the price but dollar to portion size ratio seemed perfectly acceptable to me (especially on the brisket, I ordered a 1/2lb and surely got at least 3/4). The chicken bowl could have used a little more sauce. They topped with a bbq sauce drizzle and I think it could have used more plus some kind of fat-based sauce like an aioli or even their Alabama white sauce. The mashed potatoes were plentiful, but made for a pretty monotone dish. I would have liked some acidity brought to the table. Some pickled red onion or pico de gallo would have been super nice. There was crispy corn and texturally and flavor wise, I loved that. Overall, would recommend for a hungry patron, maybe just ask for some extra sauce or some fresh pico on the side which they would probably be happy to provide. The brisket wasn't the best I've ever had. But man, it was a portion and a half. $18 for a 1/2lb serving is pretty standard. Like I mentioned, I definitely got more. So I made out on this deal. My slices were half and half from the flat and the point. The flat is almost always on the drier side but the point should not be. This brisket was overcooked. When you went to do the pull test it just kind of fell apart. Regardless, with the mustard bbq sauce and sweet bbq sauce they provided I was a happy camper. Not elite level bbq by any means, but it would for sure scratch the itch if you're in the mood for it. Now, I do have to mention.. There was live music and the performers were honestly hard to listen to.. It got to a point where it was so bad that it was good. The looks on the faces when you scanned the room were a unanimous, "What. Is. Happening. Right.now.".. Please, for the love of all that is good, please just play a soundtrack off of spotify. It would have been so much more enjoyable and it was so absurdly loud that I could barely hear my friends. Thankfully we were all able to catch up but.. Yeah. Had to mention that. Takeaway, slow pace of service, average food but great portions (my friends both got massive burritos and loved them), awful music, BUT, great casual setting to go and b.s. with the guy pals. I probably wouldn't take someone here on a date, though. We all agreed, we'd go back. I have to emphasize the use case for this restaurant, if you're expecting a perfect dining experience and you have very high standards for service, you'll rate a 2 or 3. Knowing this would be a "local bar and super casual Tavern" type vibe, my expectations were greatly tempered and we had a great time.

    So glad we came here for breakfast, it was absolutely amazing, we didn't know what to expect, they were out of risk it because they were busy from the night before, but there were so many wonderful options on the menu that you can't go wrong with anything, James the bartender was very attentive to her needs and made us feel very welcome, this is a hidden gem for any meal, but a breakfast meal is an amazing meal. I highly recommend Lake taco.

    A group of us met for lunch today. The chips, guacamole, and queso were the perfect app for us! I had the street corn bowl and loved it. I added on avocado. We also enjoyed the Floor is Guava drink! We had a table by the windows with a nice view of the water. They do offer outdoor seating by the water.

    FRIED CHICKEN MELT
    Malida K.

    My party of 5 had a wonderful experience here on a Friday evening. We walked in with no reservations and were immediately seated. We ordered: Houston quesataco - delicious! Full of flavor with a birria-like experience. Lake taco - mmMm!! Now THAT'S a fish taco! Chicken melt - came with potato scoops which are more like chips. Don't expect mashed potatoes lol. They were an enjoyable twist on a homemade chip. The sandwich was completely devoured. Enchiladas - came with beans and rice and the enchiladas were laying on top with so much pulled pork on top that you couldn't tell what was under there. I finished this after I was already full...and it wasn't even my entree lol Mac & cheese w/ brisket - the absolute HIGHLIGHT! My friends could not stop eating off my plate. This was the best Mac and cheese I've ever had state-side! We're all excited to go back!

    We anxiously awaited the opening of a new restaurant at this location. It has been several different restaurants over the past few years. I like tacos and was hoping to love this new spot. Our visit went so wrong and we couldn't be more disappointed. The interior has been almost completely remodeled. Bright colors painted on the walls. The private dining room wall removed and open to the main dining area. The bar has been moved away from the back wall, although in a similar position. Reception is in the same spot as are restrooms and the waiters station. Reception was not manned when we arrived, but we were greeted quickly by a lovely team member who asked if we had a seating preference, quickly brought us to a table, left us menus and let us know our waiter would be with us soon. Our waiter was extremely high energy, I mean absolutely over the top high energy excited to be our waiter. His routine included lots of platitudes he must have learned throughout his FOH career. We placed our drink order and after much conversation, off he went. The drinks took a little time to arrive. Nothing ridiculous. The bartender brought them over. This may be how the bar runs here because a second round was delivered by another team member as well. My whisky sour was quite tasty and nicely presented. We had plenty of time to view the menu and I noticed this menu is not the same as the online menu. The waiter mentioned the menu has been 'changed 16 times' since they opened. Sounds like they are taking suggestions and tweaking their offerings. I have food sensitivities that prevent me from eating corn products, pork, chicken and black beans which meant I can not eat any of their tacos as they do not offer flour shells. Only corn. From photos on Yelp I suspected as much but hope blooms eternal. My second choice, after a taco, was the smoked brisket but as it's cooked in the same smoker as the pork and chicken the waiter was hesitant to let me try. I appreciate the care. That left a burger. I can also eat their potato scoops and it seems the coleslaw should be OK as well. I can't figure out if their fish is breaded with corn flour as one menu says, or buttermilk battered as another menu states. I did ask for clarification but didn't get it. A food runner dropped the food at the table. Our waiter stopped by once to see if everything was OK after the food arrived and once before he 'clocked out' to let us know a new server would be taking over. We encountered several lovely team members during our visit. This burger is honestly just not good. I often get stuck eating burgers at restaurants because of my dietary limitation so I've had my fair share. But this burger is just, blah. I'm not sure how but it had no flavor. I'm pretty sure it's a frozen patty based on shape and it's quite a thin patty so you don't really get any beef flavor from that. It comes on a pretzel bun which is nice but that's really all you are tasting. It was just dry and blah. I know people don't come here for the burger. Still, it's on offer and I'm thinking I'm not the only one who has eaten one. Having flour tortilla shells as an option would have been greatly appreciated. The potato scoops are nice. Soft inside, well cooked. The restaurant is very brightly lit. They have a country music sound track. It's got nice new tables and chairs. The floors are painted concrete and with the vaulted ceiling even at quarter capacity, the dining room was so loud you couldn't hear the music any more. Not sure how to soften up the noise situation. Plenty of parking in their private lot and in summer they will have dining on the deck overlooking the lake we are told. I was looking forward to a good, basic taco: ground beef, lettuce, salsa, cheese, etc. Not being able to get my first or second menu choice, menu confusion (there are two), our over the top waiter, noise level and muzak all combined to make my experience two stars. This spot actually seems to be a smoked meat restaurant with taco's as a menu option. I would like to try their smoked brisket, but it doesn't sound like an option for me. I hope you have better luck. Exploring a new business is always an adventure.

    Finally made it here, and so glad that I did. Love that can get both Mexican and BBQ. Drinks were great, service was on point. Only wish is that i would have gone with better weather cause looking at water would be nice.

    Brisket tacos
    Arthur S.

    Great place to come watch the games. There are 6 large televisions that you come see from both sides of the new bar. Everything is clean and new. The bartenders are fantastic and there is quite a selection of great cocktails with superb garnishes. The food is really good and the sauces for the bbq are excellent! All of the burgers sounded great, but they are only served on pretzel buns so I opted for some tacos. The tacos were good, hot and fresh. I can't wait to try the BBQ straight up next time with the sauces we tried a small sample and I can't wait to get a full plate. The pulled chicken with the white bbq sauce and the brisket with the tangy Tex!

    Delicious shrimp tacos and margaritas. Great location for patio seating when nicer weather finally gets here. Server was great.

    We enjoyed a lovely, picturesque Father's Day lunch on the back patio this past Sunday. We were seated at a table near the water which was full of large fish. We ordered our food and drinks which came out quickly. Our server was very attentive even though she had several tables she was serving. My brisket tasted amazing- a little salty, but I love salt so it didn't bother me. It paired perfectly with their unique potato scoops, and I was so happy to see that they added cucumber salad to the menu. The drinks were on point too. What sets this restaurant apart from others in the area is the beautiful outdoor bar area. We will definitely be back to enjoy it again! :)

    We stopped in on a Friday night while we were in the area and I'm so glad we did! We've been to…read moreCondesa's other location in Smithfield before and had a great meal there so figured we couldn't go wrong here. Upon entering, they have a nice outdoor area to eat with playful decor that makes you feel like you're in Mexico! We were seated immediately, but we must've just gotten there at the right time cause they were so packed! Our waitress brought over water and chips and salsa and gave us a few moments to review the menu. We ordered drinks, a steak quesadilla, and the rib eye tacos and fish tacos. Food came out quick and the staff were incredibly attentive. The steak quesadilla was yummy but I wish they had the sour cream and salsa or something on the side for it. It was only drizzled on top but since they were overlapping, it didn't feel like there was enough. But that's 10000% just personal preference! it was still very delicious! The cabo fish tacos were so yummy, we got them fried and they had a good crisp to is. But the star was the rib eye tacos. SO good! the green guacamole sauce that comes with it paired so well with the rib eye flavor. Hands down my favorite of the night! both orders of tacos also came with beans and rice. We definitely had leftovers for the next day! Highly recommend this location! Staff was incredible, parking is easy, food was great!

    When I saw this food truck sitting outside revival brewing I was like let's give it a try, they…read moreappeared busy despite nobody in the physical line which meant they were probably taking phone orders. So the only indication that this was indeed a food truck was the Sign on one side that said the name, but there was no menu on the truck or anything and I took me a few minutes to find one online as they do not have an actual webpage but they do have instagram & Facebook and they linked their menu to their Facebook! According to their Facebook it said Guatemalan inspired cuisine, which made me slightly nervous as I have really only had Mexican, South American, & several Spanish variations of "tacos & burritos" and was not a fan of the South American cuisine & some of the Spanish ones, but nonetheless I decided to give the Guatemalan infused food truck a chance! I ordered 3 beef tacos with cheese lettuce and sour cream for my son and I got the chicken and cheese quesadilla. The tidal was $29 which was a bit more expensive then I had anticipated but that was fine. It smelled delicious but my 7 years old was not eating this until we returned home! The wait was brutal- but once we finally got home- we dug in and to our surprise it was absolutely Delicious!!!! When I tell you the presentation was on point for the tacos, but it was the taste and the crispy shell that made these tacos absolutely delicious. My 7 year old son said these were some of the best tacos he had ever had & I AGREE! We ended up splitting each other's meals so he had a few quesadillas and I had a few tacos. We both loved them- but I preferred the crispy taco's to the quesadillas! The service was great and those at the window were super friendly! They texted me when my order was ready. I ended up looking at their Facebook and they apparently park in front of Bravo Brewing in Pascoag quite frequently! So if you live in northern RI & are looking for something delicious- you HAVE to try the tacos! They are amazing!! I would definitely order the tacos at least once a week!
