Gorditas (chicharrón); Shrimp quesadilla on a corn tortilla
Yodalis M.

I had read good reviews of Taco Inn on neighborhood groups, but had never been enticed enough to pass by. In fact, I did not intend to go there today (was going to visit another Mexican spot which happened to be closed). All in all I would probably rate this a solid 3.5, but am bumping up to 4 because the drinks (tamarindo margarita) were good, and my shrimp quesadilla was filled with shrimp! I do feel that the quesadilla could have used some more seasoning. My friend didn't fully enjoy her gordita. Bites of chicharrón were too small and the dough lacked flavor. We would go back for drinks but maybe skip on the food or order tacos instead. Complimentary chips were crispy. Salsa was different- I liked it but my friend was not a fan. Place looks a bit dark from the outside but it's a huge spot with plenty of seating and good number of Mexican patrons and staff, which is always a good sign.

Horchata Juice
Christy M H.

I've been eating here ever since I stumbled upon it two years ago. Taco Inn has never let me down. This is my moms favorite spot, they have the best horchata juice and it's the only place you can order delivery and your food won't get soggy. My favorites are the flautas and the guac here. Everything is fresh and the staff is super cool and fun. The place is spacious, clean and well decorated. They have Karaoke some week nights and for a night out with friends it's also fun. 100% recommend. I ordered again last night and wanted to update my review because they legit have never let me down.

birria tacos
Kristen M.

It's pretty big in there. We went on a weekday around lunch time so it was quiet but had a steady flow of guests. We got sat & our orders taken pretty quickly. These birria tacos were amazingggg, we went weeks ago & still talk about them. Absolutely would go back, 10/10.

Just like most restaurants anywhere, the food cannot stay consistently good. Last time I had Taco Inn, the food was disgusting... I mean DISGUSTING! I ordered a carnitas quesadilla; the meat was nothing but fat pieces. I was spitting out every bite into a napkin since I could not even chew on the "meat." I also ordered breaded chicken cutlets. The chicken was black and freezing; it smelled horrible. How do you serve freezing cold chicken cutlets on top of hot microwaved bland rice. You could just tell it was old chicken grabbed out of a refrigerator and thrown into my order.  I called immediately to complain, and spoke to Anna. She said she would refund me or send me another replacement order. I did not take the offer, and just threw out all the food. Maybe they had an off day, but I am not eating here again to find out if they have anymore. ** Due to Guillermo's comment:: The pictures that I have are from other/past visits; you can see how old they are. I was a returning customer. I have been to the actual restaurant and ordered multiple times. Should I have taken pictures of the food in the garbage? As I stated before your employee ANNA offered me a refund or the order to be sent out again... It was so NASTY that I said NO THANK YOU! -- Learn from Yelp reviews, instead of being so defensive.

Flan did not taste right. Made my fiance throw up as soon as she took her first bite.

I would never order from this place ever again. Not only they messed up our order, they sent us possibly expired food. Their operation is extremely slopy and possibly not sanitary. My fiance and I made a pick up order here. I arrived 20 mins later and my food was ready to be picked up on their table. But all the servers were just busy taking new orders on the phone and made at least 4 groups of people and their food waiting in line. After about 10 mins, I reached out to the server directly and made them package my food before they become completely cold. The server seemed like she was rushing packaging my order. Putting things in and out of the bags constantly like she doesn't know what she is doing. So I asked straight to her face, "did you put tortillas in there?" She looked and me and said "yes." I arrived home with our food and surprise, not only there were no tortillas, they completely forgot to put our dessert which we already paid for. So my fiance called again. They made us pick up flan and tortillas in person, so I went. We even ordered additional dessert on top of it. I came back home the second time with my orders. My fiance took her first bite of the flan and she immediately spits it out and head to the bathroom. She said her flan didn't taste right at all. I smelled it and it smelled like some sort of tap water and heavy scent of refrigerator was coming from the flan itself. This flan smelled like it has been sitting in the refrigerator for weeks, possibly months. Doesn't have any individual expiration date marked on it to verify if it's safe to eat. And of course, no tortillas were included again. I am extremely disappointed. It seems like they just don't care at all. They constantly messed up our orders and even gave us questionable food that made my fiance throw up. This is possibly one of the worst dining experiences in this year. Would not recommend this place at all.

Guacamole

Eh sido clienta de Taco Inn desde que abrieron años atrás. Fui testigo de cómo poco a poco fueron crecieron y ampliando el restaurante. Y no es para menos, la comida es deliciosa. El servicio al cliente es excelente y el ambiente es excelente. Hacen Karaoke y uno se divierte mucho.

Chicken Tacos

This is my second time ordering and I am in LOVE! The tacos are sooooo good! It says on their menu that the tortillas are handmade and you can definitely taste the difference. I usually order their food on Uber Eats and the have followed the order notes every time, so I love that too! Definitely would recommend ordering from the super good! I really hope they don't change!! ¡Esta es la segunda vez que ordeno y estoy ENCANTADA! ¡Los tacos son muy buenos! Dice en su menú que las tortillas son hechas a mano y definitivamente puedes saborear la diferencia. Por lo general, pido su comida en Uber Eats y siempre han seguido las notas de pedido, ¡así que eso también me encanta! ¡Definitivamente recomendaría ordenar desde el súper bueno! Espero que no cambien!!

Wow... that was flavorful and spicy! Really great Mexican in uptown, finally!

Cinco de Mayo landed on my radar when a bunch of us at work were looking for a place to grab some…read morelunch. We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.

The staff was extremely nice, and even though we were 45 minutes late, they were able to fit us in, so appreciated that.

Although I had a reservation, I was instructed to go to the bar. Literally no home at the bar whatsoever. Granted I know Mexican restaurants tend to be super crowded for Cinco de Mayo but I was a party of one. I should have been seated outside at the very least. I had to drink my frozen Patron Margarita standing up until a space at the bar open up after 20-25 minutes. Once seated, my area wasn't properly cleaned. I felt awkward and uncomfortable. I reluctantly ordered fish tacos with mild guacamole but was given spicy guacamole. The fish tacos were a little cold. The service was rushed. I left without ordering another drink or more food. I was over it. This place isn't far from my employer so maybe I'll give it another chance on a random weekday.

The menu has a long list of items and they are all reasonably priced. Our Server, Maria K., did a wonderful job throughout the meal and we were never rushed to leave our table. We started with a glass of Modelo draft beer and a Golden Margarita. The beer was served in a large glass and the Margarita was strong and well presented. Tacos are a great selection for Happy Hour and all of them (fish, chicken, carnitas) were well seasoned, the optimal amount of spiciness, and wrapped in soft shells. The Street Corn was DELICIOUS. The creamy sauce made each bite a delight and the Tahin just added to the enjoyment. When I went to the restroom, I noticed that the restaurant was very full and the low hum of the customers made the ambiance uplifting. Sinigual will definitely be added to my Happy Hour list and I highly recommend it for "happiness."

I have never heard of ANY restaurant (and I frequent many restaurants) bumping someone "to the next evening" without an "ok" from the customer. It's unfortunate that Sinigual completely messed this one up - our office is close in proximity to the restaurant and we were all regular customers there for lunch and dinner.
