The 30% off code - LOVETACOS - is good on the entire menu on Taco Tuesdays. The deal & code are advertised on a window poster you'll notice as you walk up in addition to another poster advertising a great lunch deal available. I ordered the Shrimp Tacos (corn tortillas, lettuce, breaded fried shrimp, chipotle mayo, and cilantro) minus pico & they were great. The shrimp were freshly fried and steaming hot. I had to wait a bit because a large catering order was being finished as I arrived. The manager offered me a free Jarritos and apologized profusely for my wait. I took it as a good sign that their tacos are that popular plus it gave me time to enjoy the gorgeous murals by ARTBYJAE. I visited the Baymeadows location (open until 3am Fri/Sat & 1am Sun-Th) & they now have a second location on Parental Home Rd (open until 1am Fri/Sat & 11pm Sun-Th).

My sister, son and I were looking for something for dinner at 10pm on a Tuesday. There wasn't much…read moreopen but I happened to look and was pleasantly surprised that Taco Way was still open!! My sister placed an order and picked up the order. Since it was taco Tuesday we each got three birria tacos. The meat itself was fairly flavorful and the consome was decent. I appreciated they charred the outside of the tortilla and it was nicely crisped. Since I'm from Southern California, I was expecting some type of hot sauce like all of our taco shops offer, but sadly there was none. I would have loved a little spice, but the tacos were very good with the onions. I was pleasantly surprised they were out of cilantro, which for me makes me happy since I'm not a fan of the stuff. Overall it was a good meal and for Florida, they were pretty decent birria tacos.

The rice was very dry, but squeezing some hot sauce on top helped make it edible. My daughter ordered a chicken quesadilla, but she didn't like the cheese, so it went mostly uneaten. The service, like the chips and salsa, was average at best. I should probably give El Castillo 3 stars instead of 4, but that's how good the tacos were.

Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you try somewhere new. The customer service was top notch.

Definitely a place we'd go back to next time we're in the area.

The tacos were…read morepretty middling- the tortillas seemed like they might have been fresh made, but they had mostly disintegrated by the time they arrived at the table, leaving me to spoon up the contents. The mahi taco was probably the best, along with the steak al pastor, but everything was oversauced (which didn't help the tortillas survive). The guacamole, however, was excellent. Service was friendly but not especially quick, though it was a Friday. The ambiance is generic Town Center. Might give it another try, but not in a rush.

I pass by regularly on my way to the gym and always notice a full parking lot -- now I completely understand why.

First off we ordered steak burritos- paid extra... the meat was literally STEW meat- not steak! It was so disgusting. Secondly, the ground beef tacos tasted good until you realized how crusty the meat was- as if it had been sitting ALL DAY in a bin! And lastly the nachos were exactly the same crusty old chicken meat!! We ordered pretty much every meat there and all was DISGUSTING and we had to throw out because meat sitting around all day can't be healthy! My recommendation is to NOT come here for the food!

The atmosphere is definitely part of the whole experience. Right when you walk in, you can smell the fantastic aromas of authentic Mexican food being prepared all day long because you have to know that the food served here is not something that takes five minutes to prepare. Oh yea...I knew this was going to be a great meal and I was going to be rolling out of there stuffed. I pretty much wanted to order everything. The food is fantastic. Like so many other Yelpers, I had to have the birria taco special. It was on the Special's board and I'm always curious about what any restaurant is offering on that particular day if it's recommended in writing. Guess what? I was not disappointed. It really had so much flavor and I would order that one again next time. And don't you skip their elote. It's also legit! Who doesn't love corn on the cob on a stick covered with yummy sauce and Mexican cheese? NOTE: Birria \ bir-ē-ä \is a Mexican dish from the state of Jalisco. The dish is a meat stew or soup traditionally made from goat meat, but occasionally made from beef, lamb, mutton or chicken. The meat is marinated in an adobo made of vinegar, dried chiles, garlic, and herbs and spices before being cooked in a broth. [Wikipedia] I took photos of the menu and my boyfriend and I chowed down on a few other tacos and offerings and everything was delicious. Make sure to get the horchata because it's always nice to have a sweet Mexican horchata with a savory, flavorful meal from La Perla. Buy the other desserts to-go!

I ordered the Wet California burrito with steak, and it was mostly rice and beans with very little steak. The "wet" was just queso poured over the top and onto the plate. Some bites tasted decent, others were inconsistent. The steak that was there was okay. The margarita was also a letdown -- more sour than expected and likely house tequila, with very little ice. Chips were unsalted (which I didn't mind), and the salsa had a bit of a pinch to it. Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning with a bad stomach ache and didn't feel great while eating the food. I probably should have said something to management at the time. Our waitress was friendly, but couldn't really elaborate when we asked about the menu. Overall, I'm paying for great food and service -- not just "okay." I don't see myself returning.

My partner and I live by the spot so we go here semi consistently. They have great drinks and…read moreoverall their food is really good. My biggest complaint, is that for being a taco centric spot and having about 15 different tacos, zero of these are vegetarian options. Even things that are called the potato taco for instance have chorizo in them, and the shrooms taco has meat in it as well. I just think it's a really big mess on their part and I think that they should reconsider adding a couple of vegetarian options to their menu. I'm sure if you ask, they will modify. But that's not the point. Sincerely, someone who is tired of getting just a quesadilla at a Mexican restaurant that has so many different options .

Be aware that there is no free water (only $1 bottles) , there's no chips included, and they charged us higher prices on the bill than the prices on the menu. And this wouldn't be so bad if the prices were affordable, but things like the guacamole and street corn were both $13 dollars, which is crazy because those are usually side dishes. So if you want the best bang for your buck here I'd recommend just getting a taco cause those are pretty filling and only around $7, but overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. Edit: There's also another extra fee if you use card.
