King Burrito
Christian B.

Great choice if you are in the area or staying in one of the hotel around here. Food was very good, excellent flavors and fast preparation. Clean and very Mexican decor. You order at the counter. Staff was friendly. Good place for kids and family. Enjoy your meal!

Chips and queso?
Kimberly A.

After 14 days of seafood and reindeer, it was time for some Mexican food! This is not bad for fast casual Mexican. The salsa packs some heat in the medium flavor! We enjoyed the chimichanga, cheese enchilada, and beef burrito. I asked for chips and queso with no guacamole. I was expecting the bowl of melty cheese sauce and chips. What I got was a plate of chips and shredded cheddar that had been microwaved. Completely disgusting. The service left much to be desired. The guy running the register appeared to speak no English and couldn't understand I didn't want a combo- just a la carte items. I had to switch to Spanish to communicate this, and to get the items with the correct ingredients. Then he acted angry because I wouldn't pick a combo number. So, overall the experience was about 50/50. Most of the food was great- I almost feel like the chips thing was some kind of joke/slap because I refused their combo (I avoid rice and just didn't think beans were a great idea with 19 hours of flying the next day)

Quick, authentic and tasty tacos. Especially liked halibut fish taco and birria taco. Cool looking seatbacks.

Gringo Tacos combo

Taco King is one of our go-to's, because it's very close to us, and i really thought I'd already reviewed it. We go here often. Ok, so, the interior is standard, "how a non-Mexican perceives a Mexican restaurant to be but probably is nothing like a real restaurant in Mexico" and that is, violently, aggressively cheerful music, coupled with brightly painted decor. I dare say that in Mexico (though I've never been) restaurants don't do this, could be wrong though. It's almost never full, and getting a seat is never an issue, though i think the fact that they also have a drive-thru, takes foot traffic out of the restaurant. You order at the counter - i nearly always get the same thing - 2 Gringo Taco Combo meal. I like Gringo Tacos because I'm addicted to anything crunchy, and their ground beef filling is completely delicious. (We went on Valentine's Day, as i didn't think we'd be able to get a table anywhere else, and because it was a special occasion i got 3 Gringo Tacos instead of my usual 2) It comes with Spanish Rice, and Refried Beans. I'll usually throw in a couple of words of my very limited Spanish just to show i know what I'm talking about ok? I like that they have Squirt in their soda machine, it's currently my favourite, and not everywhere has it. Very refreshing. You take a seat, and maybe get some salsa and sour cream from the condiment station, and collect your cutlery. Now, nowhere does it say that Taco King is a fast food restaurant - but it IS fast. You do NOT have to wait long. Obviously refried beans, and Spanish rice are gonna be in a big pot being kept warm, but the other things are assembled to order. Husband got tamales. The food is served in less than 5 minutes. Honestly, i make tacos at home a lot, and they're good, but they're not this good, not as good as a properly warmed crunchy taco, filled with savoury ground beef, then all the fixings on top. They also put a few tortilla chips underneath, which catches any drips and spills, and makes sort of mini nachos, for when you bite into the tacos and chunks fall off. Their refried beans are not the smooth and homogenous type - they include some whole beans in the mix, which i like, and my only issue would be that i like mine a little more salty. Despite that, i never leave any. Their spanish rice is some of my favourite in town, yet i cannot say why i like it so much, it's just the right flavour. I was staring longingly at my husband's tamales, they looked *chef's kiss* perfection. I do love a good tamal. As far as I'm concerned, i was absolutely 100% happy with my Valentine's Day dinner. Their staff are always very pleasant, table service is fast (even though someone was having a large party there, we didn't have to wait) and the food is always consistent. Keep up the good work Taco King. La comida es muy buena!

Best food I'VE EVER HAD!! The food is authentic and I go so much that they know my order. Nice people and never had a bad experience.

This was a pleasant surprise when we popped into a "fast-food" Mexican place next to our hotel. The food was really good and came with rice and beans. I liked having the sauce bar so I could sample all their options.

Maybe it was cold and some hot beans and rice really hit the spot. I was genuinely surprised how good the food was given that I live in Colorado! Trying to eat healthy when traveling, I ordered halibut and shrimp tacos, both low cal and tasted fresh. But you can't judge a taco joint without trying a meat taco (right!?); therefore, I also ordered a carnitas taco. The meat was tender and juicy with just the right amount of cilantro and diced onions. I liked that each soft taco comes with 2 pieces of tortillas to prevent messy "leaking". Rice was good too, not over seasoned or too greasy. If I find myself traveling here again I will eat at Taco King!

It's been a few years since we've been able to visit La Cabana. The space seems the same but…read morenoticeably less cluttered. A few of their menus are online only. Our male server was refreshing and attentive. Cadillac margaritas were strong. The food came out fast, hot, and as expected. But still, no one's been able to replicate the "La Mex," tamale my husband loved and adored. I always forget La Cabana has a few spaces for large parties/events fyi.

The place is a little outdated, but it's very colorful and it adds to the ambiance of being transported to another place. Staff was attentive and we got to choose where we wanted to sit. They had a paint night type of event that was ending when we got there and as we kept eating more and more people slowly started coming in. Portion sizes are huge....we couldn't finish our food. We took it back to our Airbnb and we repurposed and used the leftover food into new dishes for breakfast the next day. Was this the best Mexican food ever.... well no, but it wasn't horrible. I got the Chile Verde Burrito and it was good. I think that the dishes were basic and there was nothing that took it over the top. Nothing special, no different seasoning. Even though we didn't finish the food, we ordered dessert and shared. The flan.....OMG! Yes, yes, yes! I would go back for the flan. It tasted like it had coconut, but when we asked they said that it didn't. Hmmm, not a bad thing that it tasted like coconut in my world, it just elevated the taste.

The fiancé and I finished a long hike and decided to reward ourselves with Mexican food. We came to…read moreXalos based on the excellent Yelp reviews (but really, the pics of birria tacos). I was expecting something more hole-in-the-wall (Mountain View has changed so much), but Xalos is an open space with lots of seating and a big menu. I couldn't decide on what to eat but went with the pork carnitas plate. Fiancé went with the birria tacos and we shared some guac and chips. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The pork on mine was very tender and juicy and there was something about the flour tortilla that was different but very good. I seasoned it with their spiciest hot sauce (I could handle on its own, but accidentally ate a jalapeño right after...yikes). I honestly could have inhaled the whole plate but saved some for later. Fiancé is somewhat of a birria connoisseur, and while these weren't his favorite he enjoyed them. Xalos was a great find and good value for the price (a little over $50 for the two entrees and appetizer). I'd love to try their tacos on our next visit.

Updating my original review, I'm not sure what happened to them, but this place is awful. Service…read moreis just okay, restaurants are slightly dirty, and the food looks absolutely disgusting/ bad quality or expired. I will not be coming back

Like they were frozen, thawed and froze again. The sauce they simmered it in wasn't good and I'm convinced helped overcook them to a rubbery consistency. My steak was fine, but was well done vs medium rare like I ordered. I prepared myself that it likely wouldn't be cooked right, but I expected at least a little pink. I know it's not a steak house, but they cook steak for other items so I figured I'd be okay. My partner said his ranchero steak wasn't very good. He only ate it so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable eating while he waited. The meat wasn't very good he said, tasted old. He said the sauce wasn't very good either. For the rise in prices of things quality has gone down. They haven't done much for improvements - my seat had a big gash in it. Unfortunately after being a customer for many years I don't see myself returning here after 3 strikes this year of poor quality food at an inflated price. I think they should consider cutting their menu in half and really focusing on making quality dishes.
