Food was ok. Nothing special in this very competitive market. Service was ok. Again nothing to rock your world. Ambiance is Arizona Mexican restaurant standard stuff. Hence the 3 star average rating. Yelp on! read more

When they first opened it was awful. Apparently it is now under new management and has drastically improved. Extensive menu, generous portions, fair prices. Food has been very tasty. Will definitely be coming back on regular basis read more

Muy Malo. We saw this place was raided by ICE and the IRS from what we saw on the local news. What does that tell you? Don't waste your time here. Although the inside was clean looking, our experience was terrible. Shortly after watching that news story, this location shut their doors for months with out of business signs taped to the door. Nice. Seems like if you're Caucasian, they won't even serve you. That's what happened to us, no service no nothing, just stares from the two hispanic waitresses from the bar where they stood until our patience ran out and we left. Great food at the restaurant around the corner btw. Crazy. Why wouldn't they want all the business they could get? Answer: see above. Llama Rafi Llama Rafi Llama Rafi. read more

The food was so/so, service was terrible and it's says $2.99 for happy hour beer and one of the ones we ordered they charged $5.99 for. Bathrooms were nasty read more

The food, service and the little desert they just gave us for coming was all amazing. Will definitely return.

First time trying this little place. Good food and good service! I had the chile verde plate. Meat was tender and flavorful without being super spicy. Hubby had the shrimp enchiladas with verde or suiza sauce. He was very pleased with his as well. The rice was fluffy and beans had good flavor. They have a surprisingly huge menu for such a small but very clean and cute restaurant. Look forward to trying other options. Will definitely be back! read more

What a delightful gem in Vail! I lived here just over a year and for some reason never tried this place. Mistake. You're greeted like family and wait staff was friendly without being overwhelming. The chips and salsa were just right, and they had a bean dip as well. Yum!! I ordered an enchilada combo and was completely satisfied. The vibe is casual and family friendly. I'll be back!! read more

My husband and I tried this place out since it was 10 minutes from home. We went on Monday about 2 pm. I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga and he ordered a cheese enchilada and taco. The lunch special showed a chicken enchilada and beef taco for $12, but they wouldn't change the enchilada to cheese. So his meal cost $3 more. That was very strange. A cheese enchilada is cheaper than chicken. My husband was thrilled with his food, including beans. The chips and salsa were just okay. My chimi had good flavor, however it was way too spicy for me. I don't care for beans, so I had rice, which was probably a 2 out of 5. There were red peppers in the rice, which is one ingredient that I hate. I will order a la carte next time. Prices were high but portions were generous. Service was good. Atmosphere was pleasant and clean. Overall a decent experience. read more

Awesome service and great server. The food portions are pretty generous and the food quality is amazing. We had the street tacos and The sauce they used is made in house and is not your typical "salsa" very good, not spicy and has a smoky flavor. Our server Carmen did a fantastic job. We highly recommend it. read more

Never open in the Morning For Breakfast. Was Told it is under new Ownership, so no Alcohol was being served. When open, the Food has been Good. Portions for the Price has always been generous. We will return and Hope the issue of not being open for Breakfast is resolved read more

Love the food and the servers. There is a new owner and everything is even better. I like the remodel very much.

The food was fabulous and the service was good as well....however, they advertise 25% discount to military and first responders on Thursdays which we we not able to get. Supposedly, no one in the restaurant knew the cash register code to honor the discount. To me, this seems like false advertising. Unsure if we will go back. read more

Service was fast Came for Wednesday lunch special Chicken Enchiladas. We've had the special before but today the beans and rice were extremely salty that we couldn't finish it. Hopefully they will tone down the salt next time read more

The food was excellent and delicious for my husband and I. He had street tacos for Taco Tuesday and I had the fish tacos. We ordered a side of refried beans, which were delicious. To me, beans are the deal breaker for Mexican cooking. I would have given a five star except I had requested my pico on the side because of an issue I have with onions. The pico was all over my tacos, which I had to pick out diced onion before I could eat them. Service was great! read more

Our family and friends went to Taco Rio at Colossal Cave Rd. The service and food was impeccable!! All the staff made my son's birthday special and made us feel like family. Their Chef is amazing and we even asked the owner to bring him out so we can thank him for his A+ cuisine!! Wonderful fun place to indulge lol read more

We have stopped in twice for an early dinner the last couple of months and both times had a great experience. It is very close to our house, and we typically drive farther to another place that we have gone to for years but there prices have increased and portions decreased so we thought we would give Taco Giro a few more tries. They were quite busy, lots of take out/pick up orders and the dining room was busy. We were greeted warmly and they brought water and chips/salsa right away. They have a large menu to choose from but we tend to order certain dishes and this last visit was no exception. My husband got the mixed Fajitas which had tons of meat and super hearty and flavorful. My Chilaquiles were incredibly good as well. We actually both had Micheladas as well and I must say they do a GREAT Michelada (Modelo was our beer of choice.) They must do their own mix, as it was super robust and zesty. My husband got the one with shrimp and it was like a shrimp cocktail hybrid with BIG fresh shrimp. We found the ladies who were serving to be very friendly and attentive. While it seemed a smidge short staffed with all the take out/dine in (who isn't these days) they did a great job delivering great customer service. I know this place gets mixed reviews, but for us it will be our new close to home Mexican restaurant. read more

Went to Taco Giro in Vail yesterday for a friend's birthday party. I've been to many Mexican restaurants but this was hands down the best!! I ordered the mixed fajitas. The first plate to arrive was half refried beans and half rice then came the main dish.... Oh my! It was a huge heap of meat and vegetables. And so delicious!!! The waitress was super attentive and kept filling up drinks and water and bringing more chips for us to snack on. Then at the end they brought out some flan for the birthday boy. Home-made and SO GOOD! We asked the chef to come out so we could compliment him. Overall experience was wonderful. This place should be on your list of go-to's! read more

Caitlynn was amazing! She truly knows the business she's in!! The food was also amazing!! Muchas gracia!!!

Very good food and portion are big. Carmen did a great job. Food was fast and tasty. The place is clean and organized.

My wife and I had lunch today (Tuesday) and took advantage of the "taco Tuesday" specials. They serve street tacos for 1.99 which is quite the deal. These were not skimpy little tacos either! I will have to say that the dessert, flan, was the best that I have ever had! BEST FLAN EVER! It was homemade and generous in portion size. Our servers (Ricardo and Marytrini) were super efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!! read more

Today was the 3rd time we have been to this establishment for breakfast, and they are not open!! That is a horrible way to run a restaurant and it will be the last time we try to patronize this place. Food is OK, if you catch them open. read more

Very busy. Had to wait 15-20 min for a table. Raining outside & no place to wait. Poor traffic pattern & no good place to wait. 1 of 3 dishes served cold & it was the daily special of tacos. Steak wasn't reheated long enough, no garnish at all. Just 2 cold tacos with 'steak' looked much like gray grd. beef. Tasted ok, better at taco truck down the street. Sweet waitress but bad service no drink or chip refills offered. Then took forever to get after meals finished. Enchiladas were delicious & generous amount of beans & rice. Will return with hope of better service & tacos read more

Food is always great. Service is iffy, lately we've seen so much improvement over past experiences.

This place was a perfect stop for our family . Food & drinks were GREAT & the menu is stacked with great dishes / Soups . Margarita has GREAT service & made us feel at home . She is a wonderful lady . Ricardo was also extremely helpful . All around such a great place with great staff . read more

Food was amazing! The service was excellent and attentive! I love how they had it decorated for Mother's Day such a cute ambiance! I wish there were more TV's for when sports are on. Would be an awesome spot to watch Sunday football! But 10/10 total experience. read more

They are under new management and are going to remodel the store. New cook that's great. Try the ground beef red enchiladas or fish or shrimp with culichi sauce. read more

This my first sampling here, and I an IMPRESSED. Very large colorful food & drink menu you would never expect in a small town restaurant. Service was very fast and my margarita was perfect.

Good food. Very busy on a Friday night. Wonderful server and churros with ice cream! Will go again.

I'm extremely happy we have a Mexican restaurant in Vail (especially one with such a variety of seafood). Here's the thing, if you walk out of this establishment 'hungry' there's something really wrong because the portions are quite substantial. I think of all the items I've tried so far..., the fish tacos are my favorite . The staff is always pleasant and you have a choice of inside or outdoor seating. Enjoy! read more

Taco Giro located at Colossal Cave Rd is a great place to eat at there food and drinks are yummy, and the girl that works there Carmen is so nice and friendly and a big helper in helping you with the menu. I highly recommend this place it has several dishes to pick from. read more

Was planning to go to another place and they weren't open. Taco Giro was open, so we stopped in. Good thing, food here is excellent and they have beers. They are related to La Herradura and we go there often. Great food and staff. read more

It's always exciting to get a new restaurant here in Vail. I've heard a lot of hype about Taco Giro. It seems a little odd to have a Mexican restaurant open up directly across from Fitos, especially with such high prices, but it looks like seafood is their specialty, so hopefully there's enough of a niche that both places can survive. The big sign out front says "take-out and delivery only" but the place is packed on a Friday at noon. Literally packed. There is no social distancing, and this place is small. They also don't currently offer online ordering, so I'm not sure if delivery is even a thing. Hopefully it will be, because that would be convenient. I entered, surrounded by people, and was given a full menu. I had to ask for a lunch special menu. They have very limited choices for lunch for 8.99. I decided to order from the main menu. Chile relleno + cheese enchilada + rice/beans for 11.99. I was told it would be a 20 min wait, so I sat outside. If you have Covid concerns, you definitely want to sit outside. This place is a Covid nightmare. There is no signage requiring masks, and one small bottle of sanitizer at the front, presumably for employee use. While i was there no one used it. Bare hands wrapped silverware. They have a small bar (six seats) and 10 tables, most seating four. Definitely not a place for groups. Besides Covid issues, the biggest problem I see is organization. They seem to have no system. After 15 min outside, many people cleared out, so I went in and sat at the bar. 2 closed containers of food were sitting at the food window, and no one looked at it. I realized that I hadn't paid, and they hadn't taken my name. I asked the bartender if I could pay. There was confusion and it took asking several servers before they find the one who took my order. She came over and I paid. She said it would be "ready soon", then went over to the window. Lo and behold! The remaining food that had been sitting for at least five minutes getting cold was mine! They do include chips and salsa with take out, so that's nice. The salsa is pretty good, freshly made. The beans had a canned taste, but good consistency. There was a weird sour flavor to them. The rice was fluffy, pretty average. The cheese enchilada wasn't too greasy, and was generous with the cheese filling. The sauce was mediocre. It tasted very Americanized. The relleno was really good. The batter was fluffy, lots of cheese filling. Really no complaints. Overall, it was definitely less greasy than most Mexican places, so that was nice. The food is about average. But the service needs some desperate help. read more
