    All right went to the spot for the first time off of Rosedale didn't even know it existed I ordered tripas tacos they have three of those for $11.99 plus rice and beans which is not a bad deal at all but the problem was it was overcooked it was too rubbery and hard to chew I mean it had good flavor but I don't think he's supposed to be chewing it for days the decor in the restaurant was all good The menu had a lot to choose from The ambience was fine nice and clean but that was the only problem The taco meat was overcooked I don't know if I'm going back again but I'll give it a second chance eventually

    Asada Fries

    The Asada Fries had potential. All the flavors were there, but they didn't use the correct type of french fry. This is essential with Asada Fries. Need to switch to a crinkle cut style french fry. Thats my opinion. 1st time in. I will try the tacos next. The crew were friendly and helpful. The inside was inviting, and smelled amazing!!!!!

    Well I have to say the breakfast burritos are pretty good, my favorite had to be between the sausage and chorizo. There is so much other stuff I want to try that it's going to take me a while to do so lol. The service is all good and the place is always nice and clean. If you haven't give them a try check them out next time you're in the area.

    This was our 1st visit and man it did not disappoint. The food is absolutely delicious. I got 4 tacos dorados de Papa and man oh man these were the best I've ever had. I loved everything that was on them and that salsa bar was fire. You have to try the avocado salad it's hot and so good. My husband got the Burrito Sudados and those were so delicious and so flavorful. The staff was so friendly and when we 1st came in they didn't have any tacos de papa and made them fresh for me. It's a small place and they don't sell beer but do sell soda in a bottle. Definitely trying this place out again.

    The ambiance is typical taco shop. The service can use some improvements. I ordered a glass bottle of sprit and was handed a can. I asked the young man about it and he was a little rude saying well I asked you what you wanted. I showed him the receipt and still was not given the glass bottle even though I was charged for it. The food was ok nothing that stands out. The serving size was a little small for the price. Please feel free to try and have your own experience. Maybe they just had a bad day.

    Asada nachos, minus the sour cream and queso Fresca cheese. Very tasty will defiantly have it again.

    Tacos Dorados de papa
    Steve J.

    Good food, good people and good music. The customer service was great they helped with my order and explaining some items on the menu. They were even kind enough to let us have a sample of the Burritos Sudados, they did not let me down delicious. They remind me of tacos de canasta; soft tortilla. I got a asada burrito and it was quite filling, they put fresh queso fresco inside which I thought was a nice touch. Taco Dorados were also great. Without a doubt I will be back

    Tacos dorados.   Beef.  Meh
    Mike H.

    Meh.. tacos dorados beef were ok. Carne asada tacos meh. French fries shoestring and nice and crunchy. Best thing i got was some of their carnitas to go. Price for carnitas is good, price for asada street tacos not so good for the size. Probably wont go back too many other taco joints around with better food..

    Service was great! And the food was amazing! The wall art was creative and reminded me so much of back home. My teen who can be a picky eater loved it too! We will for sure be coming back to this place! Todo salió bien rico y sabroso!

    Old grease tasting deep fried tortilla chips
    Stephani I.

    To start, the young man taking the orders was super friendly and courteous. He's limited to providing what's on the menu, so when I asked if I could get a quesadilla combo, we were told they only had one combo; 2 tacos, rice and beans. So I opted for a chicken quesadilla ($10.99 + $3.00 to add the chicken). Husband got the taco combo so o could have his rice and beans. The menu is already really small to begin with, but ok. The young man felt bad, but it's ok, not his menu. We asked for chips and salsa, not realizing they bring you the chips, but you have to get your own salsa. They had pico and 4 or 5 other options to choose from, all of which were very tasty. Forgot the name of the darkest (almost black one), but it was my favorite. The chips though, really bad. They had the flavor of being deep fried in day old grease. I'm certain I'll be burping up the few I ate later. My quesadilla was so so. Not used to having the cheese cooked until it's brown and separates from the tortilla (see pic for reference). The chicken was cooked perfectly though. Not dry. Not raw. A little more flavor would have been good. My husband's taco, an asada and an al pastor looked a little overdone. We get the naked taco idea, but with the amount of people you have in the restaurant, a larger taco condiments/ salsa bar would be beneficial. Even before the food comes, people have to wait in line to get their toppings, and then their food comes while they're still getting their toppings and their food is getting cold. At the least, onions and cilantro would be a good start, and then the customer can add the rest. The rice and beans were ok. The restaurant is a good size with a simple ambiance. People were coming in left and right, so they must be doing good at something. All in all though, it wasn't as great as we were hoping for, so it'll be quite some time before we return.

    Been to Taco District twice now, and I keep coming back for their burritos sudados -- they're really good! I just wish they were a little bigger. Both times the service has been great, and it was nice to see they added a mini split, so it felt much fresher inside on my second visit. There's plenty of parking, and they offer a nice variety of salsas and condiments. I also tried the torta, chicken taco, and carnitas -- they were okay, but the little burritos are definitely where it's at!

    Chilaquiles with carnitas and sunny side eggs! Delicious

    Chilaquiles with carnitas and sunny side eggs! Delicious I visited this place for breakfast, Mexican style, low key, quiet, a hole in wall to get your appetite taken care off. Very friendly staff and clean restroom, definitely recommend it to you. Enjoy!

    Carne asada tacos

    My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new place. I had noticed this place every time we drove by so we decided to try it. We were very disappointed. We placed our order and waited for our food to come out. The chairs were very uncomfortable at the bar so we sat at a table but it wasn't much of a difference. When we got our food the meat appeared to steamed and had a LOT OF FAT and hardly any meat (I asked for mine to be well done so I kindly asked them to redo it and they did). I noticed something in my boyfriend's taco that was shiny.... It was a large peace of plastic. When the guy brought over my tacos, I brought it to his attention, and he laughed and apologized. I didn't find him laughing to be professional. When we started to eat the food, the meat didn't have ANY flavor. The salsas were good which made the tacos better. The horchata seemed watered down. The place was too expensive for the tacos in my opinion for a taco fast food joint. Especially since everything was below average. We spent $43 on 6 tacos and two drinks. We won't be going back again.

Shrimp skewers I was told was okay but even that had more veggies than actual shrimps. The rice wasn't cooked all the way. The presentation on nachos was excellent but the nachos were gross. No flavor in guacamole. Beans were plain beans bland af. The chicken wasn't seasoned and had an awful charbroiled taste, just awful! The salsa weren't spicy or tasty.

The place is pretty easy to find on the corner of 18th & R. There isn't a lot of seating for more than parties of 4. We were a party of 6 and we all smooshed into a horseshoe booth inside. There are only 2 of these booths available and they indicated they are not able to place additional seating at the booths. I imagine you might be able to put tables together outside for a larger party. We were greeted warmly, and while I felt overwhelmed by the amazing choices, the gal taking our order put me at ease by walking me through the menu board. We got amazing carnitas quesadillas and tacos and another dish that came on top of a mound of delicious fries. It's the kind of place where you order, then sit down and they bring you the food. We were well taken care of. Our drinks were refilled and they brought us 'to go' boxes. Their portions are generous and just tasty. And the iced tea was perfect!

To make things worse, about 10 minutes before closing, they turned the lights all the way up and shut the music off, which made it very clear we were being pushed out. No one came by to offer boxes for our food (I had more than half my meal left), and my guest didn't even get to finish her drink. We were essentially rushed out before the already early closing time, with no proper send-off. Overall, the experience felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable.
