Normally I wait to use the restroom after I eat in restaurants because you know what they say... "If you want to know how clean the kitchen is, go look at the restroom"...Well, let me tell you, EVERYTHING is immaculate in Don Taco! We ordered tacos (my hubs ordered a fish and shrimp and I got a Carne Asada and Chorizo). We loved everything, including their fresh made salsas, pickled onions, and Margaritas! Halfway through my Carne Asada taco, I looked down and realized my taco only had one tortilla holding it together (most Taco shops double up on their tortillas on their street tacos)...I looked at my taco in disbelief and said to myself, this is a fresh, handmade tortilla...look at it holding all this meat like a champ, not folding under pressure! I asked our server if they made their own tortillas, and she verified that yes, this was a handmade tortilla, and Don Taco makes them fresh everyday...Wow, what an outstanding place this is! As we finished our meal, another server offered us a sample of their Birria meat and suggested that we try that entree the next time. That Birria is legendary...flavorful, rich, and yes, we will be back for it!

We live about 7 miles from The Shoals Shack and decided to try it out. The person that took our order was very nice and recommended a few choices which was spot on! I had the Shoals burger and onion rings and my husband had the Shack Attack with fries. We also ordered the pecan pie bread pudding. We were both blown away! The burgers were so good and the onion rings were perfectly crispy! The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. I absolutely recommend this place!

Shoals Shack was my personal choice, and I think I out bought the rest of our crew compared to the restaurant they chose. ;) it was so good! This is a small building on the outskirts of Florence. There's a little parking lot but it's carryout only. I was able to place my order online about 20 minutes before we got there. It was easy and you can even make modifications to your order, which is great! The website said my food wouldn't be ready till 1:45 (I think I ordered ~1:15 or so) but we pulled up at about 1:35 and it was waiting for me! I walked right up to the window and a friendly employee asked if I had an online order. I agreed and confirmed my name and the food was mine! Easy peasy and it was still super hot and not at all soggy. I ordered the Bella burger, which is a burger with mushrooms, Swiss, garlic mayo, and fried onion strings, though I asked for no onion strings on mine. I got a side of French fries and a cup of ranch for dipping. My order was made correctly. The fries were pretty basic but good -- hot, crispy, adequately salted. The ranch was delicious ranch and perfect for dipping. Unfortunately one of my fries did have a small, straight, dark hair attached to it. I'm not wildly squeamish about these sorts of things and it was sort of sitting by itself not touching other fries anyway, so I just chunked it and went about my business. This is really my only complaint for the whole experience. That burger...wow. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, juicy, a little unctuous but not too much. Soft bun, not soggy, right amount of melt on the cheese, meaty mushrooms in the perfect proportion. And lastly, the garlic mayo really pulled it all together. It was creamy, not overly garlicky, and spread just enough to get a little bit in every bite. I will be hard-pressed not to return here when I'm next in the area. Truly, an awesome burger! I'd be curious to try their other menu items like chicken sandwiches or tacos as well. Thanks, Shoals Shack!

As I looked over the menu I realized many of the other patrons were regulars. I loved hearing the friendly banter between customers and staff. I ordered the carne asada street tacos which are served with refried beans, rice and a guac salad. One thing I really liked is the onion and cilantro are on a separate plate so I could control how much went on each taco. The carne was delicious!! I could eat a plate full of that steak by itself. Everything was delicious and I have added La Hacienda to my places to visit when I'm back in the area.
