This place has withstood the test of time - being here on the Space Coast since 1980! I've had the pleasure of enjoying their delicious food, friendly and helpful employees, and comfortable surroundings since 1983. My "go to" entree is the "Hombre" burrito! It's a large flour tortilla filled with filet tip beef Colorado, refried beans and rice, smothered with its own savory sauce and melted cheese. The beef Colorado is always tender and very tasty! It's quite delicious and the portions are so huge that I usually take half of it home to eat the following day. At $16.99 it's a good buy! Check this place out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!! read more

We ate at Taco City multiple times over a long beach weekend getaway, as we were staying a few blocks away. Not surprisingly, the tacos stand out the best items we ate. The cheese enchiladas were also pretty good, along with a few of the desserts we tried. I would recommend just getting ala cart because the rice was disappointing. It was crunchy, as if it wasn't cooked all the way. The refried beans were okay, not great. Service most of the time was very good and friendly, but one time we stopped by to pick up a small to-go order, and clearly, we were forgotten about, even though the place was not that busy. The online menu is not up to date, so keep that in mind when ordering to-go. If you are ever in the area, I recommend a visit. Get the beef tacos and salsa and chips. All the desserts are also worth a try. read more

This isn't the first time! Got take out again and was very disappointed with it again!!! They have gone down hill! Veggie burrito where the heck are the veggies?? No lettuce No tomatoes No onion, just beans and rice! And they even forgot to give us our sour cream and guacamole!! After asking them to make sure everything would be in the bag! And my husband even asked them when he picked it up if everything was in the bag!!! No taste at all, was just plain and bland!! This use to be a good place to eat. Well not anymore. Shame on them... WILL NEVER EAT TACO CITY AGAIN!! read more

We have been coming to Taco City since the 80's when Carlita owned it. Once it was sold, it's continually gone down hill over the years. Tonight we decided we will not be going back. The service was AWFUL. We sat for one hour while people that came in a long time after us got their food. We could see food sitting in the window and no one would take it to the tables. They claimed that had two new kids working in the kitchen. We finally had to take our food to go because we were going to be late. I opened my to-go box because I was starving and wanted a few bites and the food looked absolutely disgusting. The ground beef had super hard chunks in it that you couldn't chew. Ive never been so disappointed. We won't return. read more

Taco City - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

I have memories that go way back of this place and it has and always will be one of the best Tex-mex restaurants. It's right by the beach (walking distance) and service is quick and friendly. Normally this place is packed but we came on a slow night and service was incredible. They use to have you order at the bar but a server came to us and the restaurant was beautifully updated. I loved the indie music playing. They also had our basketball game playing. Ariel was our server. She was attentive, friendly and a huge reason we enjoyed our visit. They give you complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is pretty plain but I enjoyed it. Our food came our surprisingly fast and we were all pleasantly surprised by the portions. My husband got the Chings or Chongs which was like chimichanga sushi rolls. My husband loved it. I got the taco/enchilada combo. I love the taco shell and the food was very filling with nice portions. Our baby loved their pinto beans and guacamole. Our son got the chicken nugget kids meal and he was so stoked because his chicken was dinosaurs. We paired our meals with margaritas and they were really good. Not your average sour mix flavor. Overall it's great tex mex style food for awesome prices and great service. I want to come back for taco Tuesday. read more

Excellent wings and big selection of traditional and new Mexican dishes. Received free salsa and chips. Try the cilantro infused salsa. Y wife had the taco salad which was huge. Very friendly wait staff and bartenders. Talked a lot with the manager who told me the history of the place. Been open since the 80s. A great local hangout. Eclectic surfing themed decorations throughout. Nice selection of local microbrews. read more

Taco City 2955 S Atlantic Ave., Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 4 Stars Just reading my random name generator caused my senses to vellicate just a bit as I was staying beachside for this meal. Blinking benignly up at me was the name of a restaurant that had been in the same location for over 40 years. At this point, Taco City has to be a local landmark and they must be doing something right. They also have an express counter at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, though that doesn't necessarily mean anything as servicemen and women like anything that isn't an MRE. As I was not, nor have I ever been in the Air Force (thank you to those that have been in any branch of our Armed Forces), I hooked a Louie just shy of the Cape and pulled into "civie" Taco City. I was greeted warmly upon entering and taken almost immediately to a table. Glancing at the menu, I noticed that it was much more diversified than your average Tex-Mex cantina. My server soon approached, introduced himself as Sequoia and asked if I was ready to order. I noticed that Sequoia was also the manager or at least the manager on duty. I found him to be very outgoing and sagacious while unreservedly answering all my questions. You didn't think I just went in and ordered blindly, did you? Do you? If not, I would suggest you start. The most important being, is this dish assembled or made? I asked Sequoia for an order of Chings or Chongs and Dos Hard Tacos (chicken). I sat back and soaked up the fantastic atmosphere of the place and quicker'n a cat on a hot tin roof, Sequoia returned with my food. If it tasted half as good as the aromas running ahead, I knew I was in for some decent chow. Snapping the prerequisite pictures, I grabbed my tools of epicurean destruction and commenced to "reviewing." First up was my order of Chings or Chongs. This looked so interesting on the menu that I had to order it, and I was not disappointed. Consisting of shredded chicken fried in a large flour tortilla served along with freshly shredded iceberg, hand chopped tomatoes, Mexican cheese and black olives this dish was as delicious as it was unique. The chicken was tender, juicy and full-flavored. Turning my attention toward the Hard Tacos was not as easy as one might think, but I had a job to do. Grabbing a taco in my mitt, I took a good-sized bite and was delighted. This was also pleasant on the palate. Everything was fresh and one taste tells you it was made, not assembled in the kitchen. Well done, kitchen miens. Is Taco City going to win a James Beard award? Absolutely not. However, they aren't aiming for that either. What they are aiming for is what they provide and that is a fun, interesting menu with a great deal of heterogeneity in the crowded Tex-Mex field. This place is well run and the food is above average. The Big Boy says, "If you're looking for some Tex-Mex grub with a jovial atmosphere and decent food, try Taco City. I'm guessin' they will be here another 40 years." If you are in or have been in the Air Force and have eaten at their Express cafe, please let me know what you think/thought of it. read more

I've wanted to try this place for a long time because I live in Sebastian but travel to Cocoa a lot, so I'm always passing by. Finally I did and it was great. You order at the bar and they bring the food to whichever table you choose. You can also eat at the small bar. They have a few craft beers and make their own crunchy taco shells. I got beef tacos and they were delicious. I will be back. read more

Pleasantly surprised!! I had the Chiquita burrito and it was full of flavor. Also the jalapeño poppers appetizer was pretty good. Only down fall is I took the food to go and it comes in aluminum containers which can't be reheated in the microwave. That's not a serious issue but just something to keep in mind if you Didn't have plates like me. read more

Taco City - Chiquita - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

How dare this place call themselves a Mexican restaurant. Salsas came straight from a jar. No salsa Rosa, chili de arbol, or salsa tatemada, and their tacos are terrible! They don't offer shredded beef and they use ground beef with taco seasoning. Yuck. No horchata either. Way over priced for shitty food. $20 for a two taco plate...please learn how to make real Mexican tacos. Don't trust an old skinny white guy cooking Mexican food in Florida. read more

The service was good. The young man and girl was very attentive and friendly. The food was disappointing. We have been going there for years and it always felt authentic, today, not so much. The chunky salsa was so salty we couldn't eat it. The other salsa was good. My chicken taco salad was very good but my husband's beef tacos, once again, we're so salty and way over seasoned. The food was just adequate and probably won't go back again, which is ashame because we have always liked the atmosphere and history of the place. read more

One of our favorites, such a nostalgic restaurant. We all grew up going to taco city, nothing like two hard tacos and a draft beer. My husband and his friends would Surf outback and grab tacos afterwards, to this day, it is still their favorite thing to do. The chicken Chings are also one of my favorites, and their homemade guacamole! Best of the best! read more

Service was very friendly, but had a weird vibe in that you had to order at the bar and then take your seat. And salsa for the chips is dolled out in little plastic ramekins....weird?? I had mahi tacos - they were ok, a bit fishy. And they were nestled in a bed of chopped up lettuce - also weird. Save yourselves all that wasted romaine and get some taco stands people! Husband had a pork carnitas in a tortilla with green salsa looking thing, and 17 year old ordered the Hombre which was filled with huge chunks of slow cooked beef, with a bunch of chili-like sauce poured over the top. Nothing terrible, but nothing fantastic either. read more

Always great food and a lot of it for a very reasonable price. Cold beer and Tex Mex! Been around for years ! Never disappoints! Lots of chips and salsa ! Try the cilantro salsa! read more

You order at bar. Best Mexican food in the area! Couldnt finish the entire plate but Definitely took it to finish it later!

My husband works at Cape Canaveral, so he comes here all the time and I always have major FOMO so he decided, one day, to take me to the beach, then here for lunch. We were super early, so we waited outside with the dog until they opened. A few minutes even before they opened, I was welcomed inside. They immediately had chips and salsa ready for us. I said we will be sitting outside since we had the dog. They took our order and said they would bring our food out. The server was efficient and told me where to find the silverware & limes/lemons. While we anticipated our grub, my hubby went to wash his hands and before he returned, the Fire Balls were served. They have optional Cheese, Jalapeño Ranch & Sour Cream to accompany. I selected "D. All of the above". Shortly after, my tacos and husband's Chings & Chongs made their entrance. Everything was amazing. They even have their own hot sauces. The Scorpion taste like either Ghost Pepper or Carolina Reeper. I couldn't taste the Garlic Habanero because the heat of the Scorpion never really died, so TIP OF THE DAY: try the Garlic Habanero BEFORE the Scorpion. The view of the outdoor water eliminated the stress of the day and we enjoyed our food in a relaxing environment. DEFINITELY will be back. The only "con" is that the paper to-go bags don't fit the to-go boxes well. read more

I ordered the Hombre for dinner. Wow! What a filling meal! The tortilla was filled with beef tips cooked fall apart tender, served with peppers and onions. The best way to describe it is to say it's like grandma's Sunday stew, with a Mexican taste profile, wrapped into a tortilla smothered in red sauce. The rice was good, fresh, tasty, with a heavy cumin flavor. Not my favorite; but, the quality came through. All and all, this was a happy find, based on a friend who grew up in Cocoa Beach. read more

Beware, this menu is way out of date. We called in an order based on this menu and it cost us nearly double what we expected. Make sure to verify the costs before you order!! The food was good. read more

Don't be fooled by the thought of Taco Tuesday $2. The TACO's are HUGE, lots of meat and toppings. Place is kinda deceiving since it sits right by the road with no other restaurants close by. Consider the fact that the place has been around for 50 years. It has stood the test of time. Taco's are GREAT read more

Taco City - Taco Tuesday - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

My wife and I went here on a recommendation. There was a sign on the door indicating they were short handed. Ok, no big deal, a lot of restaurants are right now and we didn't mind waiting. Taco City is a seat yourself, read the menu on the table, and order from the bar kind of place. So that's exactly what we did. The food showed up a few minutes later (surprisingly fast given the sign about being short handed). My wife had the chicken tacos and I had the Hombre burrito. Both plates had issues and were not a good showing for our first visit. We'll probably try them one more time before making a conclusion. Hopefully better next time! read more

Taco City is literally a religious experience. This local dive has been around for a long time and is very well known by many. It is located in an unassuming building off of A1A, and you just walk up the counter to order and then have a seat. They will bring you your food. After ordering they will offer you some salsa to go with your chips. You can choose from mild, cilantro, or hot! While their salsa is to die for, the real star is their queso. Oh My Gawd, their queso is quite literally the best thing in this world. It is melty cheesy goodness. Do yourself a favor folks, don't skip this and go ahead and treat yoself to a large! Obviously if you come to taco city you need to get tacos right? Do not mess with a soft shell taco. Get yourself the hard shell goodness that this place is known for! Side note my two best friends swear by their enchiladas! Today I had the shrimp quesadilla with guacamole and it was amazing! If you are in the area, seriously come to this place! You won't regret it! read more

We stopped in on our trip to Cocoa Beach. Taco city has some great menu options. We went for the Margarita Chicken Salad and Two Taco Combo. The Margarita Chicken Salad had great flavor with shredded chicken, avocados, lettuce, cheese, and your choice of dressing. The two taco combo (shredded chicken) with rice and beans was very flavorful and filling. For drinks we went with two sweet teas which were very good. Great place and great service with a nice front patio dining area. read more

Such an amazing experience. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is so chill. The food is incredible. I live in California and had to make a trip to Cocoa Beach when I visited Orlando just to eat at Taco City again after over 20 years. read more

I love this perfect little Taco Hole in the wall and have been coming here for years. The food is always delicious except for yesterday. I ordered The Hombre which is a savory stewed meat burrito but whoever is cooking used entirely too much garlic and onion. The dish had a bitter taste and smelled "off" and there were hardly any refried beans. PLEASE go back to the original recipe or bring back the original cook. Whoever is in the kitchen right now is ruining an institutional favorite!! read more

Excellent service and the ambience is perfect for the type of food. My issue is the quality and taste. Food was very salty and the taste was below average. read more

This restaurant is very OK. You order at the counter and they bring it to you, but there is no signage saying that. Service was good, a little slow. Food was just OK. read more

Friendly service and fast. We ordered at the counter and food came out quickly. This was our second visit. I ordered enchiladas with steak and all was okay except the sauce. I found it bland, tasteless, so I indulged in sour cream. I am disappointed because the food looked really appealing and it's a relaxed place with indoor, outdoor seating with vintage and surfy decor. I enjoyed at least that part of it. read more

So, I always get the chicken chings Jr style...of course once again they did NOT disappoint! Service was great...

Many ...Many years ago I would stop at Taco City after going to the beach....skipping school and going to the beach I might add. YESSSSSSS I am a rebel ....but I still know good food. This is the BEST Taco place ...any day but of course Taco Tuesdays are great . All ingredients are fresh. The taco shells are made fresh ....chips are thin and crunchy. The salsa is yummy and chunky. I got there at 4 this last Tuesday by 5 there was a line ! It is very clean and everyone is very friendly. Next time I will attach photos! read more

Great food, laid back beach atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place . The staff is super nice and the price is reasonable.

Food is just ok. Ambiance is good beach vibe. I still prefer other Mexican spots in the area.

Food was okay, not the typical Mexican food you will like to eat at a Mexican restaurant, but more americanized; the service was good and the ambience was nice. read more
