a plate of tacos and salad
Shawn B.

Small- chain tacos - good flavor good value. I grabbed two tacos - both Shrimp, Dynamite Shrimp Taco - Fried shrimp topped with slaw, jalapeno ranch and sriracha. Served on a flour tortilla.- and Baja Shrimp Taco -crispy shrimp, sauce, red cabbage. Definitely liked the Baja shrimp taco better. The sauce was so good. The dice on the Dynamite felt more like buffalo( not to my liking with shrimp ) The street corn was ok. It was probably canned sweet corn and cojita and cheese. It was dry and lacked any flavor. If I go back I'll get a different side.

The restaurant interior features a wooden wall with various decorations, including a neon sign for 'XX Dos Equis' beer, a heart with 'Love Tacos' and wings, and handwritten quotes. There are beverage dispensers for soda and bottled drinks, along with tables and chairs for customers. A TV mounted on the wall displays a sports game, and the overall setting suggests a casual dining environment.

Stopped by at this Taco place when in Dayton. The decor is pretty cheerful with a cool mexican vibe. Ordered shrimp, cauliflower and bean taco with a side of elote (corn with cheese).The shrimp taco and elote was really delicious however, the rest of the items lacked flavors. The service was slow too, took us 30-40 mins to get our order. I really hope they give me a better experience next time.

a variety of tacos on a tray - The image shows a restaurant table with three tacos, each in paper trays, topped with ingredients like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sauces. A bowl of guacamole and a basket of tortilla chips are also on the table. The background includes chairs, tables, and a caution sign on the floor, indicating an indoor dining area.

I came for a visit around 10 pm on a weekday night since it was close to my hotel. I don't like leaving bad reviews but this was the epitome of a bad restaurant. The staff were unprofessional and clearly they didn't want to be there. The person taking the order quick to try to get my order and dismiss so she can start using her ecig. She was using it in between our brief conversation too. Also when a staff was by my table, I was raising my hand and calling out to ask a question but got straight up ignored and was walked right past. Food was very flavorless and probably worst tacos I've ever had, unfortunately. My shrimp tacos which only had 2 baby shrimps was mixed in with very dry , fried fish? Guacamole was not even guacamole. It was half smashed avocados with little to no seasonings. Even with the guacamole, it shows that the workers really don't care about the food. Chips were oily and inconsistently fried. Gosh. I only ate few chips and tossed the rest. I ordered the brisket, fried fish, and shrimp tacos I only half finished each of them. I spent $27 for all these food, and I honestly left very dissatisfied.

My expectations were very high after reading a few reviews and looking at there web site. Of course nothing gave even a real price guesstimate. I walked in with my best friend in hopes of a yummy lunch and well I could it here. Parking is a wee limited right near by but we squeezed in. Yep out of order we did park first then walk in. We walked up to the counter with no one in line, but there were around 20 or so people already seated. We ordered 5 tacos and chips and guacamole. Each item was around $3. We also got water to drink even though margaritas were only $5 each I had to go back to work and my BFF has to drive home. We got a variety of tacos beef, fried chicken, fish, bacon egg and cheese. Plus the chips. Not bad for less than $20. The chips and guacamole were handed to us at the counter, which was very tasty guacamole and the chips were warm. Then even though it was loud (I would hate to be here when it is packed) we heard my names called to get our tacos. I can't say anything bad about any of the tacos. They were all yummy and worth the average $3 price. I will be back, not and if or I might, but a I will. One of the best lunch values I have had in a long time.

Food bland and under-seasoned, the lime helps, but it shouldn't be the star of the dish

Krazy Taco 937 - Sweet Habanero Chicken (Great stuff)

Krazy Taco 937

(335 reviews)

Wife and I went to Krazy Taco 937 tonight with already high hopes because of its great online…read morereviews. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement; we were stunned at how enjoyable the experience was. Everything.. EVERYTHING about this place is wonderful. Service was very attentive, friendly and helpful (and our waitress had only been working there 1 month.) The overall ambiance was stimulating and captivating. Stimulating because the music Powerhouse 60s hits from Ray Charles, Tom Jones, the Beatles and more was a *perfect* choice to enjoy yet not disrupt quiet conversation. Stimulating because the decor was so unique and interesting. And because just the vibe of everyone in there really enjoying themselves was palpable. What about the food you say? Every ingredient of all 4 different taco choices we made was wonderful; fresh, tasty and well prepared and presented. It's not very close to us but we are already excitedly figuring out when we can get back there - and I'm confident we are going to become regulars. It's a small place so going at peak meal hours might risk waiting. They have about 10 tables as well as another 8 or 10 stools at the bar. We did not drink so cannot review that aspect. We were told the place had come under new management in the last few months. As well as that place seemed to be functioning, we would never have guessed that. PS I didn't know until we ordered that they were giving free tacos to veterans, so that's a really cool mark on their patriotism and sense of community. PS 2 Small warning: The bench seats at the east (entrance) wall cut off circulation in my legs.

Second time stopping here because I feel like when you're in Springfield it should be mandatory-…read moreit's just so good! Got a seat at the bar and ordered a NA mojito and it was delicious, and also at only $5 I appreciated the price- sometimes NA drinks are as much as the full alcohol kind. Great attentive service and friendly chats with the employees. I went with the nachos which were SOOO good. Nachos are one of mh favorite foods, so I know good nachos- especially loved the pickled onions and that there were tons of toppings. My friend got two tacos with beef- can't remember the exact kinds but he enjoyed them. Such a great spot and will be back.
