Pozole Meh
Betty S.

Tostadas were delicious service was great Jamica was tasty My pozole however was lacking I had to add salt and everything else on the table to give it some flavor!! I heard so many rumors about how good this soup was but it tasted like plain water with meat in it I'm used to Peruvian Patasca very similar but Peruvians win hands down !!! Will I come back sure !!!!!

One of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. The staff was super friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere had a nice vibe to it. We ordered some guacamole, because that usually sets the bar on how I feel about Mexican restaurants, and it was fire! I ordered the chicken tacos for my meal and it was also amazing! Definitely recommend checking this spot out!

Came to Taco Intenso finally after wanting to try it for a while now and always dining nearby. It's a small, casual restaurant with about 6-8 tables depending on how many people are already dining there and how many are in your party. Upon arriving we sat anywhere we liked and were served basic chips and salsa. I ordered the 3 birria tacos which were so delicious! The only thing that I didn't like was the fatty meat I took out. I also got the large horchata drink but beware as the large is 32 oz for $7 (it's not listed on the menu as an option for small or large but I love horchata so I decided to get the large). My boys got the chicken burritos which were large, generous portions, and they seemed to enjoy them! Service was quick and the waitress was nice and attentive. I would definitely come back again to try some other menu items. Parking was a bit tricky around lunchtime in a Sunday but knowing the area and dining around here I know parking usually isn't too bad before 4pm, can't speak on after that.

Robbery!! I left my card at this place and they went on a shopping spree!

ATTENTION! Thieves alert!!! At this point, I don't even care about the food or service. (Not the best tacos either but anyways) I am so disappointed in the dishonesty that this establishment practiced. Granted, I left my credit card here on Sept 1st as you can see in my statement, I don't really use this card. My gut just told me to look at my statement and I see this! How ironic that it was used at the same establishment and then they went for a little coffee. There is no way someone that may have found this card took this long to use it and ironically enough used it at the same establishment. I am beyond words right now. Extremely mad on the unethical behavior. Unreal. I will update this in the case anything changes.

Yep! We found it! Our go to Mexican restaurant! We do not live in the area but we will travel to come here. It's a beautiful environment, very kind staff, and very clean. The food? DELICIOUS. I ordered the al pastor tacos and chicken tacos. The flavor in each bite packed with seasoning. I am not much of a meat person but the al pastor with the pineapple was sweet and savory (loved this). I had an option between a flour tortilla but I always opt for corn. One thing I would change is I would definitely ask for two tortillas per taco instead of one. I had ordered extra radishes for my tacos because I love radishes with my tacos. We also ordered the Mexican chicken dish that came with rice and black beans. It also came with a side of corn tortillas. My guy absolutely loved this. He loves peppers! It was packed with red and green peppers. The salsa here is divine! It's different than any Mexican restaurant I have been to. All of the sauces were tasty. Horchata was refreshing and they have several aquas on the menu to choose from. They do not offer outdoor seating during the winter months right now due to no heaters. However, it's so clean and the staff made sure we were more than 6 feet apart. It's a smaller restaurant with about 4-5 tables and we felt very safe. I also loved how nicely they decorated. We did get a ticket for the meter (we thought it was after 7pm no meter coming from NYC but we were wrong so if you aren't familiar, pay the meter) we were just so excited to have our tacos. It was sad to get a ticket but after a good meal, it wasn't as bad.

Such a cute little spot. Great friendly servers. Clean restaurant. Complimentary salsa with chips were fresh and delicious. And the vegetarian options were very flavorful, made with fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious red and green sauces. Would highly recommend! A delicious local, authentic Mexican restaurant!

I was in the mood for Mexican and wanted to try this spot. I called in my order with a very nice young lady. I ordered the shrimp taco intenso. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. My food was ready and I paid. When I ate the shrimp tacos were ok in taste. The taco itself fell apart easily. It could of used more seasoning. I had an ok experience.

Tostada

We ordered the Birria Tacos. Their Birria Tacos are the best ones I've tried so far. The broth was so delicious, I just wanted to drink it! We also got their Milanesa Torta (chicken cutlet). Very tasty as well. It tasted like they grilled their cheese that goes in the sandwich? Nonetheless it was very good. The chicken cutlet was huge. Definitely a monster sandwich. We tried the Tostadas with enchilada (spicy pork) and al pastor. These were just ok.

2 beef 2 pork very good.

This is a fabulous new taco spot. It's near my job so I'm sure I will be frequenting it regularly. The food and service was great, and the restaurant was very clean. The interior is on the smaller side, but there is also an outdoor seating area. I cannot wait to make another visit, as I am sure all of the menu options are nothing, but delicious.

Taco Intenso (2 al pastors, 2 cecina) and Vegetable burrito
Yongmin C.

I was looking for a nearby taco joint by edgewater and found taco Intenso, a fairly new place with 1 review. My girlfriend liked the name so we decided to give it a try and we did not regret it at all. They seated us behind their store where they had a small outdoor dining area. The food and service was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and kind. We ordered the taco Intenso and vegetable burrito. I got 4 burritos - 2 al pastors and 2 cecina. I love tacos in general and this one was different. They added bean paste which added a new taste that I never had before (the lady said that's why it's "Intenso.") The vegetable burrito was good and filling. Overall, my friend and I enjoyed our stay here and will come back to fill our taco cravings.

Delicious tacos and great service! Very cute place. Nicely decorated. Definitely glad we tried it.

These are some great, yummy authentic tacos. I have ordered from Taco Intenso on multiple occasions but for pick up. I always call ahead of time and by the time I arrive, they already have my order ready for me. Literally this is the perfect place to order from when you are in the mood for some delicious tacos. The staff is also super friendly and the price point is great. What a steal! I will definitely be order from here again and again, whether it is for lunch or dinner.

The guac was good but could use a bit more salt, i wish they had chiccarons as chips instead of tortillas but the chips were great so wasn't a big issue. overall though expensive for some pretty average guac in my opinion. the seabass crudo was great, i loved the sauce and the mango went great with it. Super fresh, super tasty. Unfortunately the tacos were a mess, when it arrived the tortillas were so soggy that they were just coming apart, the meat was also falling off and overall the presentation was horrendous. the tacos weren't balanced as well, there were some with too much meat and then some with basically only cheese. overall flavor was not birria im typically use to but it was solid. honestly these tacos are probably the worst tacos i've ever had, for $20 it's a travesty. overall for a place nearby i'd come to get some drinks and the crudo and esquite because those were fantastic. but i'll pass on their tacos hard.

The food is amazing here! While in this area I was craving tacos and I found this place with a…read morequick search. I usually order take out therefore I call and my food is generally ready for pick up in 15-20 min. The area is a high traffic so it can be tough to find a parking spot for pick up or even dine in. So it requires a bit of patience before finding a parking spot. Once you are able to enter, they have many tables to dine in (limited now due to Covid and now a small outdoor eating area). The lighting is dimly lit and you will find a lot of traditional cultural decorations throughout the restaurant. They have a pick up area to get to go orders so it is efficient. I usually order the shrimp tacos, shrimp sopecito, elotes, and tres leches and I'm NEVER disappoint. The food is delicious! My only complaint is that the elotes are not always available for ordering per the staff. I hope that changes soon. There are many restaurants and food options in the area and I would say this place is top 5.

I am so obsessed with their enchiladas I get them about 80% of the time, they are absolutely delicious! I also love how they cook their rice here and the side order of the crema they have. Their flautas have to be my second favorite, they are truly made perfectly along with a great tres leches for dessert. My husband enjoys their taco bowls and regular tacos. Meals are inexpensive and are filling!
