Crabcake taco, Classic Beef taco, Chicken Fajita taco
Liz S.

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

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

Southwest rice bowl

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!

Mahi mahi taco

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.

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.

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.

The food was extremely mediocre in taste and portions. I ordered the two-taco combo plate that comes with two sides. I chose Mexican Rice & Refried Beans as my side and the tacos I chose were Birria. Let's start there. There is no option to order anything other but the same two tacos so for example, I wanted to order one chicken and one birria or one shrimp taco and one birria taco, that option was not available. Most places allow you to customize your taco orders. I arrived to pick up my food and noticed the bag was NOTICEABLY light...which is a stark contrast to when I order this same kind of meal from my regular go to taco spots. I get home and start taking the food out of the bag and the taco presentation was good. They looked good and had pretty much what you would expect to be on them. I then go to open the containers that had my sides and noticed that the containers barely had any sides in them. I'm talking about the containers were less than half full of the rice and beans...to where it looks like they only put a couple of spoonfuls in each container. Which explains why the bag was so light. The rice looked like the typical Mexican rice and smelled about the same. It tasted very average, nothing special. The refried beans however, had no texture to them and looked like someone just put all the beans into a blender and turned them into a thick paste of some sort. They were completely flavorless and also didn't have the layer of cheese on top on them that most authentic places put on there. The three tacos were also very flavorless. The meats had absolutely NO flavor to them which is crazy for a birria taco. They were full enough with meat, salsa, onions, etc. but the meat had very little seasoning. I also found two VERY hard and sharp pieces of BONE in one of my birria tacos. I have braces and thought one of my back brackets had come loose. Imagine my surprise when I spit everything out and saw a decent chuck of bone shard. I set i aside and took another bit of ended up with yet another piece, albeit smaller, of shard in my mouth. As someone who moved here from Los Angeles and prior to that lived in Texas, this place just doesn't cut it for tacos. Not even for a chain restaurant quality of tacos. It's just like so many of these trendy restaurants popping up all over Charlotte with mediocre food trying to make a quick buck before it's eventually shut down for whatever reason . I'll be sticking to my two go to places which are very authentic taco spots where I have NEVER been disappointed. They are little pricier, but quantity and quality are worth it at this point. I have attached pics and you can see the pathetic amount of rice and beans that they gave me in that entire container, smh. You can see it from the top view and the side view where you can see the shadow lines of how full the containers were. For comparison, the container was about the size of a medium Mac N Cheese from Chick-fil-A. Rice and beans are literally the CHEAPEST items to acquire and add to meals so being stingy with them is a really bad look.

We were seated pretty quickly on the patio. It was a nice breezy evening perfect for alfresco dining. Initially our service was fast. Our server came over. Took care of our water brought our additional drink orders and then took our order for food, but then it took a while. Eventually we did get it and I was surprised how well I liked the refried black beans and their rice I opted for their Birria tacos and they were very flavorful and the consommé was delicious. My husband opted for the fish tacos and well he had to fish for the fish in the fish tacos. It was very little and that was very disappointing. I asked him if he would return and he said he would, but he would either not get the fish tacos because they don't have near enough fish to be called a fish taco or he would ask that they put an adequate amount of fish in the taco. It was more slaw and cilantro than fish. But he did agree that the refried black beans were extremely delicious and the rice was very flavorful as well. We both like their chips, which are served with their house salsa. I was not a fan of the salsa. I like mine with a little bit more sweet nod, but my husband did enjoy the salsa. Overall, it was a good first time experience and I usually give a restaurant 2 to 3 tries before I figure if they're just not for me so we'll definitely come back again

I originally was going to place the order online, but they're online option said it was unavailable so I went inside and sat down at the bar. The service was OK though it seemed most people did not speak English, which is fine. It just made it kind of harder to communicate. That said the food was decent but the reason why I gave two stars was because I feel very misled on pricing. The menu showed Que Siberia tacos three for $12. Steak/Asada tacos for three dollars which brings my total to 15+ the two drinks. I thought she said it was $20.80 so I paid it with my card and gave her five dollars cash for a tip. I get to the car just to double check the transaction and she charged me 3499 on my card and took the cash. I went back inside to confront her about this advising. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue. That's sad.
