Shot of cazadores tequila in full size crock w salt, tamarind, lemon and lime-- nice presentation!
Steve T.

Always good and Mateo blends a great skinny margarita Combination plate is generous and plenty to take home for another meal

Mole enchiladas: not spicy per say, but certainly more heat than anywhere else I've had this item.
Laura C.

Decided to give them another chance and I'm glad I did. They are now officially on my "would return" (4+ stars) list-- at least for CERTAIN items. Let me tell you what in my experience they do well: carne asada, burgers (surprisingly!), guacamole, the salsas (mild and "spicy") and service. The kids' meal was a full sized burger and the patty was thick, juicy, and really flavorful. The kids meal was a good value because my two young children were able to share the burger and fries with how large the portion was. DON'T expect to be impressed with the following items: al pastor, beans, chips... The al pastor was unlike any I had ever had before. It was a vibrant red and the flavor REALLY reminded me of Chinese bbq pork-- specifically, the seasoning packets you can buy. The beans don't do it for me (they are missing that savory umami note of salt and lard that I crave from Mexican refried beans so much). Ambiance is alight. It has been quiet when we've come so that's been nice.

Fajitas, rice and beans

It was so good that I ordered enough for my lunch tomorrow and had enough to go. One of our favorite places definitely must try and Mateo. He is a wonderful server. Always finally all the stuff is great if you want more chips and salsa, they bring it very attentive.

Quesabirrias

Great service, even when short staffed our waitress was so willing to correct anything we didn't like! She was awesome! The food was a mixed experience. The chips were served hot which was lovely. I really enjoyed my quessabirria. My husband did both enjoy his pastor meat, but the carne asada was good! Large portions! Seating was comfortable, and a relaxed spot for lunch.

Service was 5 Star! It was Mother's Day and an adorable little girl was hanging out carnations. Food was good as usual along with salsa and margaritas. Excited to see the outdoor patio has opened up too. It's also helpful to have a good happy hour, that makes it more affordable.

Wet Bean and Cheese Burrito.
Deejay D.

A couple of my friends and I stopped by this place yesterday. I've been meaning to try this place out for a while since they opened. The place was full, probably because it was lunch time. We were greeted as we came through the door and seated immediately. We looked through the menu. There were a lot of things I wanted to try but I settled for my unusual bean and cheese burrito. The place was decorated nicely. My buddy, who is Mexican, explained to us what the paintings on the walls were. Interesting. Our server was very nice and friendly. She was even sort of entertaining. The service was great. We got our orders after a few minutes. The plate was hot. It looked like the food was served on a ceramic plate. Authentic. My burrito looked awesome but it tasted just ok. To me it was sort of bland. I don't know. I'm comparing it to a Roberto's bean and cheese burrito. It didn't taste bad but it didn't grab me. I guess I was expecting more flavor for a fancy bean burrito. I liked that they had a roasted jalapeño on the side. Overall, my experience there was great. The bean burrito was ok. Maybe I'll try something else next time. I kind of want to try one of their strawberry margaritas.

Chile Riano plate, with super good flour tortillas on the side
Steven B.

I'm a big fan of Mexican cuisine, and Taco Tijuana Cantina didn't disappoint. Plenty of seating and staff, so even on the busiest of days they can accommodate a couple or a big banquet. We enjoyed our meals and had plenty to take home. The menu must list over 30 items, from seafood to beef with all the regulars chicken and pork etc. Our waiter (Carlos) was above and beyond good. He was tentative to our needs; must have filled our waters three times. The food came out hot and appealing. With their extensive menu it's guaranteed you'd find something you would enjoy there. Oh, and their happy hour is between 2:30 and 5:30 with drinks (cocktails) AND meals 40% off.

Good food, I gotta go back during the happy hours! What a deal And huge burritooooooooooo (light on the meat tho)

Steven K.

Great service and good breakfast burrito. Mine came with ham, scrambled eggs, cheese with a side of rice and beans. They also included a roasted pepper that wasn't too spicy and a good addition to the meal. The restaurant was clean other than the bathroom that needed minor cleanup. I believe they run a good happy hour as well.

Street Taco
Lauren K.

Overall, pretty good! Grabbed some lunch on the weekend here. We had some friends tell us about this restaurant and we figured we would also give it a try. Our waitress was nice and made sure we were always taken care of. Chips and salsa arrived quickly. The salsa was really good and has a slight kick to hit. The tortilla chips were really stale though. I ordered an asada street taco. Delicious! The decorative plates were a nice touch well. Bathrooms were pretty dirty and the soap had water in it. They have a wonderful happy hour. I attached a photo of it, but it's begins everyday at 2:30! Would love to come back and try out some more menu options as well as their outdoor patio.

Soup (quite large) not my favorite
Jennifer M.

Came here before 5:30pm and was surprised they had happy hour pricing of 40% off all drinks and entrees. Carne asada tacos and casibrillas were

Linda H.

Enjoyed checking out the "new for me" Mexican restaurant and cantina. Passed the "chips and salsa" phase 1 test with a large amount of appetizer tortilla chips and a delicious just right spiced salsa. I enjoyed a chile relleno and taco combination and shared a michelada, which was delicious. Busier on a lunchtime Sunday, but not loud and a quite pleasant dining atmosphere. Service was quick. Marking this place down as one for many returns. Happy hour specials and right around the corner from home base.

Steak fajita burrito in green sauce
Maxwell H.

This was my first time trying Tacos Tijuana and, unlike the name implies, I had the steak fajita burrito smothered in green sauce instead of tacos. I was impressed with the portion sizes, their selection of margarita flavors, and happy hour, which is 40% entire menu from 2:30pm to 5:30pm every day. Their menu also features breakfast, kids meals, value meals, and dessert. Now onto the burrito, it was stuffed and smothered, the large portion that left me also stuffed and smothered. This was seasoned well, and the steak was sliced tenderly. Each entree came with rice and beans, the usual, as well as chips and house salsa. Although we came in too early for the happy hour, I will definitely be coming back to try it!

I've seen this restaurant so many times and finally stopped in to try it!…read more Happy hour is available most days and the time slot is great, but the drinks are definitely where the value is. The food is only about $1-$3 off regular pricing, so don't expect huge HH discounts. They have a huge selection of drafts and ciders, plus a full bar if you're looking for something else. The space is cool and makes a good spot for watching sports or hanging out with friends and family. The staff were friendly, too. My BF and I both got cheeseburgers (my favorite thing). I had the Guac Burger and he got the Biggy BBQ. Neither burger was ginormous, which I actually appreciate, but they were just okay. ‍ They tasted like pretty standard burgers: not much seasoning and nothing I'd particularly crave. In a world where most restaurants get their food from the same distributors, that's not all that shocking. My BF said the pulled pork was the best part of his. I also ordered a Caesar salad, but it had way too much dressing for my liking. If you prefer lighter dressing, definitely ask for it on the side. The salad was also HUGE for a side, easily enough to replace fries. All that said, I'll probably be back. I had my eye on the nachos, and I still want to give those a try!

This was my second time at The Brass Tap, and unfortunately it was pretty much the same experience…read moreas the first. The food is okay, but definitely hit or miss depending on what you order. Nothing has really stood out enough to justify the prices. The biggest issue for me is the alcohol pricing and happy hour. It's way overpriced, especially for Reno. I understand they're a chain and are probably following corporate pricing and rules, but some of the beer prices are hard to justify when you can get much better deals at plenty of other places around town. The happy hour doesn't really feel like much of a happy hour either. I do really like the atmosphere. The space is great, there are tons of screens, and it has a lot of potential as a good place to hang out and watch games. Unfortunately, the service was very minimal both times I've been here, even while sitting directly at the bar. Overall, I really like the space and atmosphere, but between the average food, high drink prices, and lackluster service, it's hard for me to say it's worth coming back when Reno has so many other options.

Decided to try out this new-to-me eatery, and it did not disappoint. Truly, the vibes of this cozy…read morerestaurant is sure to welcome you in and draw you to stay and hang out with friends, especially on a nice day, you can sit outside in their patio! It's a quick, sit-down service, so it's speedy, efficient, and you can get on with eating and good times with company. Ordered was Gina's Kale Salad, which was refreshing and delicious. It certainly was a good healthy bowl that was filling. Additionally, the Elote bowl was good, however, more flavor and spice would be nice, but otherwise, it was a great stop-in! Can't wait to try more of their dishes!

I heard from a friend that this place is really good and we all met to catch up. When entering,…read morethey have the register and tables to the side. The tables are big enough for large groups. People say their bagels are amazing so we had to try. We ordered the following: - Breakfast Sando: The bagel was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The egg was fluffy. Not a fan of kale, but it was surprisingly good. - Mochi Waffle: I love the chewy texture! It was a lot larger than I expected so I couldn't finished it all. The ube whipping was delicious and not too sweet. We got numbers at our table after paying and once the food is ready, they serve it to your table. This is a good place to order food and hang out/chat. There is seating outside as well.
