Really enjoyed the food and service at Taco Spot on our recent visit. Delicious tacos, plates and burritos but my most notable takeaway was how friendly and gracious the host was to us and everyone that came in. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating with a casual vibe. Perfect for a family dinner. read more

We used to order from taco spot a lot in the past. But we stopped for a while. We have been back a couple times with our kids and eaten there, which we never really did before and it's such a great place for kids. The food is perfect for them also. I have the shrimp tacos, which are pretty decent. The kids menu is superb and the portions are big. Food is out quickly, staff is great and the place is clean and roomy for the kids to run around. And they have a huge parking lot in the back! read more

Move over, Wheaties! There's a new "breakfast of champions" in town. The Taco Spot now serves breakfast from 8 am to noon on Saturday and Sunday. I had the brioche French toast with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and mixed fruit. I now have enough energy to run errands, clean my house, and maybe build an ADU out back and rebuild the engine in my car. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. read more

My favorite Mexican food in area! Taco Spot has an open kitchen behind the front counter and you can see non-stop cooking there. This is a great sign of freshly made food (not pre-made and heated). All my meals here were great and often I purchased take outs on the top of my indoors purchase. The cafe has casual design but the food quality can be compared to a good restaurant. I like the staff at this place - very friendly. It feels like visiting friend's business. I highly recommend to anyone to have a try here. read more

I've been here so many times! Wanna give a shoutout to the homie Tracy!!! Always delivering best service, good recommendations, and chill vibes!!! Last time I came in he recommended the asada nachos and my homie and I loved it so much and it was a perfect amount of food as well. Here are a couple recs from myself: Tacos dorados (I get them without meat but you can add whatever meat you like), the Asada nachos, classic burrito with pastor(make it wet with ranchera sauce), mole enchiladas, huevos rancheros for brekky. I know a lot of folks wouldn't consider this Mexican resturant "authentic" but not every place has to be super authentic to be good. This place is authentic to itself and has built a reputation In our little town of great service and great food!! One time I even asked where they get their tortillas from (because I saw a sign saying they're locally sourced) and sure enough Tracy informed me about the tortilleria down in cypress park that provides them with the best tortillas in town. I would take that over the crappy store bought tortillas mass produced by huge greedy companies ANY DAY. Shoutout to that tortilla shop, I HIGHLY recommend you get your tortillas there from now on, super cheap and you get a lot!! For what you pay!! Tortilleria La California in cypress park!!! In conclusion, I love this place with all my heart and it's so close to my house so I will always take people here to try it out! Thank you Tracy and staff!!!! read more

Summary: Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Can handle large orders: YES! I recently placed an 18 item order via Grubhub. I called the restaurant to double check they got it and ask some very specific allergy questions. The person I spoke with was very friendly and was able to answer my questions. When I arrived for the pick up, everything was neatly packed AND LABELED as requested. I like to check every item before leaving to make sure everything is accounted for and all modifications are done correctly. The staff helped me with this making the process go very quickly and everything was perfect. My crew loved the food and the pricing is very budget friendly. I will definitely keep this restaurant in rotation. Thank you Taco Spot staff for an easy pick up and a great lunch! read more

This place has been a go to place for me and my family since they opened their doors, before I write my review, I recommend this place, the food is great, my review is not about the food, So I been picking up my dinner here once a week sometimes breakfast, the customer service is excellent BUT there's one older gentleman that's been working there for a while, not sure if this guy has some relation to the owner, and not sure if he treats others the way he treats me, I don't know what and why he has such bad service with me, there's always this vibe like he's going out of his way to service me, also at times doesn't offer me napkins or forks, which my meal requires utensils, I always walk in with a positive attitude, and when I noticed he's working I continue to keep a positive view then he crushes the mood and I'm normally brush it off, but recently I had enough and it takes a lot for me to come to a boiling point, I will not visit this establishment anymore, whatever his problem is with me is, I don't care, it's unfortunate I'm taking my business elsewhere, Good bye Taco Spot and the manager/owner, you have always showed us a warm welcome unless the old guy is the owner, you need to adjust yourself and enjoy life and appreciate your customers, because they appreciate your food read more

Loved this place. Happened upon it by accident looking for a different breakfast place within walking distance of our AirBnB, which didn't actually exist. My partner wanted to try this, but I wasn't convinced; didn't look really promising, a taco place for breakfast. But I was wrong; everything about it was excellent. The Cafe de Ola (spiced coffee) was delicious, everything we ordered was too (Chorizo and eggs, breakfast potatoes perfectly seasoned, breakfast tacos; even the guacamole was fresh and I'm a guac snob). And the young lady and man who served us were very pleasant and helpful. Just about a perfect breakfast. Cheap? Not really, but this is California, and quality costs. read more

I haven't eaten here since they first opened and I thought tonight I'd give them another chance. I remember it being good but not comparable to other Mexican Food nearby. Unfortunately it was a huge mistake. I got the spicy shrimp burrito and it was a complete disappointment. The shrimp texture was old and chewy. Like as if they microwaved a frozen bag of small shrimp and threw it in some sauce. The burrito was mostly all rice too. My boyfriend's wet carne asada burrito was also not worth eating either. I rarely write reviews but this was so bad I felt compelled to. This is a hard pass for Mexican food. read more

Taco Spot has usually been consistently good when I've ordered from them, except for last night. I placed an order via UberEats and it arrived promptly but the machaca tacos hardly had any meat in them - a sliver perhaps. I opened it up to check if they just forgot to put meat in it. as It was pathetic. The rice was hard and dry... beans were average. I might take a break from ordering from them... truly disappointing meal. read more

On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced.

Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

Their house margarita is delicious! Can get busy, we ate at the bar. It was a Friday night and they had live music plus tvs around with sporting events. Service was excellent- checking on us and refilling our chips and salsa

However, the mushroom taco was delicious it had so much flavor! As well as the gobernador taco (the one with shrimp). The fish taco was okay but thought it was cute that they wrap it in a little tusk. I would mention the drinks but I'm not sure what my friends got and I got a mocktail. The service was delightful, from start to end! I don't recall our waiters name but she made sure we were taken care of. Overall this place was very cute! The pillows were so comfortable! The food was amazing! Service was great, will definitely be back

Firstly, I want to say the food was just as good as the first time we visited. Unfortunately, my…read moresecond experience here...bringing my mom for Mother's Day ...was extremely disappointing because of the service. We initially had one server who brought us water and took our appetizer order, but then disappeared for quite some time without checking back in. At that point, I even went looking for a manager or hostess and couldn't find anyone available. Eventually, we were given a new server, but she came across as extremely rude and inattentive. What upset me most was the overall lack of communication and attentiveness throughout the experience. It made what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day outing feel frustrating and disappointing. Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.

Got lucky and found a parking spot and wasn't in line for too long. We sat right at the bar so was able to see a lot of items being made. The portion sizes are large so shareable.
