Tried it for the first time yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised. We had the nacho fries. Loved it. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was tasty and filling. My only thing - a bit salty. But I don't use a lot of salt on my food so, that may be it. Love the drinks - both the strawberry watermelon and the punch. Great place to stop by. It's very relaxed with a covered area outside to eat. The staff was very nice and answered all questions pleasantly. I will be going back. Sorry, no food pics read more

Fabulous tacos and wide variety of flavors! I had the two taco deal, one Korean bbq and one shrimp taco. I loved the pesto rice side! Delicious flavors and good portions! read more

Food was decent but questionable service. Went with my in-laws. My sister-in-law ordered chips and queso for her family and my wife ordered chips and queso for our family. We didn't get ours so my wife took her receipt to the counter. One of the employees did a drive by of our table then a manager came out and said our table only paid for one order of chips and queso but she was going to give us a second order. If she was just going to give us the order free anyway then there was no need for the comment but we had paid for two orders. We told her as such but she was gone before we could even react. read more

I've been here about 4 times now. My most recent visit they acknowledged they were understaffed and they were working very fast and hard and I had no problem waiting. The visit before the queso came out so watery that it also couldn't adhere to the chips. When inquired the gentleman working seemed very offended and we were told that just means it's fresh. It wasn't like that the time before nor yesterday (it was as expected for typical queso 2/3 times). I think their portion size is good as well as flavor. I've tried bowls, quesadillas and most recently their tacos. Great for groups Live they support a cause Definitely will return read more

We ordered delivery last week and got a variety of tacos and sides. We got beef tacos for the meat eaters and chicken & fish tacos for everyone else. I am a picky eater so was worried that I wouldn't like everything on the tacos, but I was pleasantly surprised with the chicken tacos. Black beans & rice were the sides I chose, and I thought both were very good. I would definitely recommend Tacos 4 Life! read more

I ordered take out for a friend and her daughter. The service was fantastic, they had everything ready for me exactly when they were supposed to. The inside of the restaurant was very nice. It looks like a good sized group could easily come here for lunch or dinner. The food looked and smelled AMAZING!!!! read more

I was hungry and came across Tacos 4 Life, and thought it would be a great on the go food. I ended up eating the tacos when I got home, and it was a good thing because the toppings would have fallen off while driving. Service was good. The drink was good. The tacos were good. The toppings were tasty. read more

This was a great taco spot. Different combinations to choose from. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

Best tacos!! I love the shell and the fillings are fantastic!! Can't wait to return!! read more

I love this place! They have so many protein choices - my favorites are the shrimp, mahi mahi & fish! The crab cake has a great flavor but I wish they would make them small so they could be crispy, instead they turn mushy after eating half the taco. The same for the eggplant but I love they offer it. Everything is fresh & they let you switch out the protein to make exactly the taco you want, could you ask for anything more? Their charity approach is awesome & their staff is super friendly. My last little complaint is that it's too dark inside. Makes it feel dreary. I eat here at least once a week or more. It's great! read more

I saw Tacos 4 Life come across the Lunch Drop service at work and decided to give it try. SO glad I did! I ordered the Southwest Rice Bowl add chicken ($2 extra) and it was really good! The ingredients tasted really fresh and everything even down to the rice had a ton of flavor. I loved the chipotle ranch as a sauce topping. Another thing that stood out was how HUGE the portion was. I am not kidding you - I ate the bowl for lunch, dinner, and I even have leftovers for lunch today! That's three meals in 1. I docked a star because my chicken was really chewy and overcooked, bummer. But otherwise, so good! I'd definitely order again! read more

Lots of food choices in the Arboretum Shopping Center https://www.yelp.com/biz/arboretum-shopping-center-charlotte?hrid=kXDS9G7QtEiB7P3mDe64gA but my Yelp app pointed me here for a takeout dinner. I was able to easily navigate their online portal to order my dinner and when I clicked the submit button, it promised it would be ready in ten minutes. A few minutes later, I arrived and parked. Stepping inside, my order was not ready until... it was. Precisely ten minutes on the dot! Bringing dinner home and unwrapping it was easy. Two soft tacos stuffed with grilled fish and topped with (a lot of) flavorful cabbage and each one had a lime wedge. Not quite easy to eat as the cabbage wanted to spill out, but delicious. Moist and a good portion of fish. For my side, I chose the Mexican creamed corn. Tasty and perhaps a little sweet, it was enjoyable. This was a good meal. Perhaps next time I'll dine in.

Can you honestly go wrong with a taco joint? I sure don't think so, this place was awesome and the customer service was amazing. I tried the grilled shrimp Hawaiian and Korean bbq with a side of Mexican street corn. Both were delish, although next time I'll know to eat the Korean last because the spice level was a little high for me lol. The street corn was so so good. Flavorful, and creamy and I loved it is served hot. Food took no time to come out but still came out hot and fresh. I'll definitely be back. read more

Micah was super nice and wonderful.. I'm a fan of taco for life food is always on point.

My family and I have been coming here for years. For the price and the cause, it's a good deal overall. Even during a rush, the staff handles orders fast and efficiently and always friendly. They offer lots of seating inside as well as outside. The food taste as fresh as possible for a fast casual restaurant. Good variety of choices, and environment is very kid friendly as well! read more

Delicious! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Many interesting taco options, casual atmosphere, lots of fun!

Huge menu with lots of great choices! You walk in and are greeted immediately by one of the cashiers waiting to take your order. Grab your cup, get your drink and then find a table. They have plenty of seating inside and out, so you can sit and enjoy your food under a canopy. They deliver your order and come to check if you need anything else. read more

Stopped by one day as I worked in area and always wanted to try this and was not dissatisfied. Good food, plenty of seating, tons of options and meats, enjoyable atmosphere, a little pricey it is Tacos but I have been back a few times. Good portions and always leave full. It is a casual place and would be good for families. Plenty of parking as it is in an outdoor mall but it is a busy parking lot. I recommend this spot! read more

THIS is the place to go for perfect fresh tacos. So many to choose from. Pleasant atmosphere too. Pay at counter and seat yourself. read more

Needed a quick meal between my son's soccer game and my tennis match so I Yelped this place near the Walmart where I bought tennis balls for my match. The inside was empty and the patio was packed with families with kids. My ears needed some relief so I stayed inside. The first elite Yelper Joe said the carnitas and Mahi Mahi Tacos were good so I went with the 2 taco and a side deal w/ cilantro pesto rice. I had never been to Tacos 4 Life or heard of it prior to this visit so when the guy rang me up I asked if they had a military discount. The guy didn't know so he asked the manager and he promptly responded "No". I guess it surprises me that a place that has "Give" in huge letters doesn't honor veterans with a discount. The carnitas taco was my favorite of the 2 tacos. The rice was a bit on the dry side. I will try this place again when I am at the Arboretum. read more

Awesome food, excellent service, cool space and a great cause! I will definitely be going back. These tacos are so flavorful and fresh. The puffy taco shells are a wonderful texture. These tacos are crave-able and unique. Young friendly staff that helps you navigate the options and the food comes out super fast. Nice covered picnic table area outside that does a nice job of hiding that you're in a shopping center. Added bonus: They donate a meal for every meal you purchase. read more

My experience with tacos for life was nothing short of amazing. My catering order was executed flawlessly. I want to personally thank the managers Camilla & Seth for going above and beyond by making sure I had everything I needed. I also their level of customer service as they each helped deliver the order to my car. The food tasted absolutely fresh and was packaged beautifully. I will be placing an order again. read more

We have been here a couple times this year. First time we had take out and most recently, we stopped by the restaurant. We enjoyed it both times. Absolutely love their flavorful tacos! The Good: Chicken Fajita Tacos Crabcake Tacos Carnitas Tacos Chips with Guacamole and Queso - Guac is outstanding. The queso has really enjoyable spice and flavor to it, but it is too thin. I'd still get it again though. Mexican Creamed Corn The Bad: Salsa - I did not enjoy. My husband did like it, but I just thought it tasted like watered down salsa. Spicy Chorizo Taco - it has excellent flavor, but even if I take off the jalapenos on top, the chorizo is spicy! Just too spicy for me. So I wish I could have the chorizo without all the spice! I look forward to going back to trying more of their menu. The have a fantastic patio. A couple of the tables are not covered, but most of them are, so you are in the shade, but you still get a lot of light. The patio is dog/pet friendly too! read more

After reading my favorite Yelpers raves about this new taco joint, we finally checked it out for an early Friday dinner. Although most tables were empty upon our arrival, the whole restaurant was swarming with employees, and for good reason; all of the available inside tables were full by the time we left around 6. The atmosphere is bright and cheery. Roomy booths surround comfy retro kitchen tables. After some guidance from our friendly young cashier, our food arrived in a matter of minutes. We both ordered taco meals which consist of two tacos + a side at around $10. You have a choice of shells: Soft, hard or puffy. I recommend puffy all the way. The Korean BBQ was loaded with tender steak but I would have preferred pulled or minced meat rather than the chunks as served. It was tasty however. The Blackened Mahi taco reminded me of Cabo Fish Taco's. My wife enjoyed her Grilled Chicken tacos. Our sides, the Mexican Cream Corn and the Cilantro Pesto Rice, were just okay; however, the crushed ice with the fountain drinks was a welcome surprise. During our meal, management checked on us twice. If that level of dedication continues this place will be around a long time. Their overall mission - every meal sold, a meal donated - is also to be commended. We expect to return. read more

I'm really sad saying this cause we just discovered this place and love the variety of food choices that they have on the menu. I went earlier in the day and I was watching one of the team members doing her thing at the pick up station where dashers pick up online orders while I was waiting for my to-go order. She was scooping ice with the cup and wasn't using gloves, when she should have been using an ice scoop. Then she decided to clean some tables but then touched a tray of food to give to a customer that was dining in without washing her hands from cleaning tables. Then she picked up a broom to sweep and briefly put the broom down to hand me my food... I'm quite disgusted. She even had the cleaner bottle hanging from her pants when she handed it to me. Just from seeing this, it makes me question their cleaning habits and how clean their store is. Please wash hands and put on gloves! It seriously only takes a minute out of your routine to do so! read more

Attention YELP community!!!! This place should be put on your 'don't miss this' list ! Delicious tacos with a fabulous mission statement. For every meal they serve, they give one away . We stopped by for lunch today and realized this will be our new favorite restaurant! I had the Korean BBQ tacos on crunchy corn with Mexican cream corn and the hubs had the Hawaiian Shrimp grilled tacos with Queso rice & mango salsa . It was so delicious! The flavors were on point and the tacos were simply delicious. Everything was fast and easy. Friendly service and delicious food with a great heart to end hunger! Two thumbs way up!!!

This is absolutely by far my favorite location. From the customer service to the consistency, I'm willing to go out of my way to drive to this location. From the moment you walk in, you feel how welcomed you are. The ambiance just feels right and the staff makes you feel at home. The menu selection is extensive and the cashier always grants me patience to be able to decide what entree I'm going to try today. I also appreciate General Manager Pat and his assistant manager Camilla because they always go above and beyond to accommodate my special catering request. Keep being awesome! read more

They quickly resolved the issue without any problem. Very good customer service. I'll absolutely be back to this place. A go to for quick delicious tacos.

Best tacos ever!! And the gluten free ones are insanely good which is hard to find!!!

This spot just might be my new place to go. After hearing my friends rave about it this place, I finally decided to give it a shot. It was so filling and I loved how the portions were so generous. The chorizo and chicken ranch were my favorite. The chicane taste like fajita style and was perfectly seasoned. I also love how with every meal purchased, a meal is donated and it's advertised all around the restaurant. There was also great customer service and everyone was super helpful and patient with our million questions. If it is your first time you can't go wrong with the spicy chorizo, chicken ranch or the Korean bbq. read more
