We were in Jacksonville today and stumbled onto a local spot that seriously impressed us. I ordered the chicken burrito with a strawberry lemonade and both were outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you try somewhere new. The customer service was top notch. You walk in, order on their super easy kiosks, grab a seat, and the food comes out fast even during the lunch rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything felt organized and welcoming, not rushed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a place we'd go back to next time we're in the area. read more

Tried a few different tacos plus the guacamole and chips here on a Friday night. The tacos were pretty middling- the tortillas seemed like they might have been fresh made, but they had mostly disintegrated by the time they arrived at the table, leaving me to spoon up the contents. The mahi taco was probably the best, along with the steak al pastor, but everything was oversauced (which didn't help the tortillas survive). The guacamole, however, was excellent. Service was friendly but not especially quick, though it was a Friday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is generic Town Center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Might give it another try, but not in a rush. read more

This was my first time going to this place, and I would definitely like to go back again when I'm in this area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place isn't big, nor is it small; it's very comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looked clean and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The employees were very friendly. I ordered some mahi-mahi fish tacos. They were an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Absolutely delicious. All the ingredients were perfectly fresh, and together they created that unforgettable experience of flavors. I also ordered street corn in a cup, which I had never eaten that way before; in a cup, and it was another unforgettable taste experience. Truly, you can't leave there without trying that delicious treat. I definitely want to come back. read more

FINALLY! I have been second guessing trying this place for a minute but im glad i did. Starting with the customer service alone i would give it 5 stars , me and my family felt at home with all the greetings and help we received upon arrival. They offer inside and outside seating and i will say inside is so beautiful with art and smells delicious. Honestly we ordered to go and decided to stay and eat. I tried to churros (personal favorite sweet) And the crispy steak stack wraps. The only thing i can say is amazing! The flavors were perfect and complimented each other well. I even ate it with the tomatoes although im not a big fan of them lol. lemonade made me smile because it wasn't super sweet like ive been experiencing lately. I will definitely be back and my fiance actually went back today ! read more

While in town I tried to eat like a local. I ordered this as Ubereats. I had a Monster chicken burrito and Elote. I thought it was really unique to have French fries in the burrito and hot takis crumbled on top. The food was tasty but dry, no sauce what so ever. I wished they would've atleast included some kind of salsa or taco sauce on the side. Order arrived in a timely fashion. It was in sustainable and cute packaging. read more

The food was the second worst part of visiting this place. The staff is first, it seemed like everyone had attitudes and wasn't trying to be helpful, one girl rolled her eyes as she was walking away, but God is working on me so I left it alone... the food was basic and the people in group didn't really enjoy there food. The mahi mahi is really good, that's about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say the place looks very unique with the murals on the wall and the dim lighting, I'll give that aspect 5 stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Good late night spot that closes at 2 AM. Pros: guacamole was good. Street corn was spicy but good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool inside decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cons: No alcohol Feels a little informal to order at the kiosk. Expensive compared to most taco places. read more

Stopped by Talkin Tacos and the food was delicious. I had the taco trio. I had Bang Bang shrimp, carne asada and Birria taco. The best Birria I have had in a while. The bang bang shrimp was my least favorite. Easy order kiosk system and the service was fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat inside but they had a great outdoor seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

In the summer, I spent almost a month in Jacksonville for work. Looking back this was my favorite quick service for lunch while working in the office.

This place is funky, but in a good way. The atmosphere is vivid with its black lights and fluorescent paint and their food combinations aren't any different - Takis and other interesting flavor combinations through their food. All of the above is great, but the real bonus is their staff. At 12:15am, they are warm, welcoming, and committed to making our visit enjoyable. Let me explain. We arrive and we're greeted at the door by a young man who welcomed us warmly and asks if we've ever been there before. We had not. He directs us to the kiosks to order and as I excuse myself to the restroom, he takes the time to walk my wife through their menu. When I return, she's tapping away, confidently browsing the various offerings and ordering what she wants. I enter my choices, select the order to go, and we have a seat. As we wait, I get a text message assuring me of the order details and when I should expect it. The young man comes over and offers us a water, which my wife accepts. He brings her a bottled water...no charge. He was doing this to others as they were waiting for their food. I have not seen this level of care and service in years. The restaurants automated texting system told me the order would be about 20 minutes and that there were 17 orders ahead of ours...I severely doubted we'd get our order on time, but at 18 minutes, they called our name and walked our order over to us. So easy. Like the staff there, the food was bright and enjoyable. I wish we lived here because we'd be here all the time to enjoy the food, but more so the staff that work here. read more

Working in the area for a week gave me the chance to finally check this spot off my "need to try" list. It's a quick-service setup where you order at a kiosk or tablet and the food is brought right to your table. We went for the Taco Tuesday special--the birria tacos were packed with flavor and the street corn was just as good. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again! read more

The food is great, but the customer service is awful. I was waiting for a kiosk to become available to see if it had a pick up option for online orders. I then saw what looked like a waitress, and I asked her where I should go to pick up food that was ordered online. She sent me to a pick up table that was being ran by a window expediter. I asked if my food was there using my first and last name. She immediately snapped at me and said nothing over here is ready. So I stood there for a little while longer and I watched her put chips and every single bag around my bag. I'm not even really concerned about the chips so I waited patiently. Then another waitress came up and handed me my bag that had been ready the entire time m. The woman that was working the window where all the food comes out, then rolled her eyes and pointed towards the door and said you don't have to stand here anymore. I was so taken back by her response, I didn't even know what to say back. It doesn't matter how good the food is, I'll never come back. read more

Talking Taco is hands down always delicious. I have visited a few locations and each time everything is always great. They never disappoint when it comes to customer service and good food. There's always available parking and with the self service kiosk it's easy to get in and out. I tried the birria tacos and for a semi fast food location it was really delicious and flavorful. I also had enough food leftover for the next day. The lemonades are also really good. The restaurant is also decorated really cute with neon signs and lights throughout. read more

Talking Tacos is amazing no matter the location. This is our favorite late night spot in south Florida and it never disappoints. Also the place is just so cool with all of the neon colored artwork with the blacklight. This was my first time ordering to go online. It was very simple on the website and you also can rack up points if you sign up. We always get the Pabellon birria. The portion is very generous and full of that juicy birria to dip in to the consume. We also ordered the Birria pizza for the first time. It met my expectations and will def be a repeat order. Also this item is good for sharing. read more

I love the neon artwork! And that's the only positive thing I have to say. Parking lot is a PIA. I hate ordering at a kiosk (it takes forever, esp if you don't know what you want to order). Restaurant smelt like cleaning chemicals. Bathroom had piss on the seat and no hand soap. Seating area is small and awkward. Worst part- its sooooooo overpriced. $19 for 3 tacos (and you can't mix and match) or $19 for a burrito. Seriously?!?! Oh also this place doesnt serve alcohol (no margs or coronas to wash down my dry overpriced burrito?!?!). Didnt like the jax beach location, and dislike this one even more. Wont be back. read more

Able to seat yourself after ordering from the kiosk or through the app. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very vibrant colors and music fill the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went on New Year Day, there were a lot of people there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While there were a lot of people the food did come out pretty quickly. We ordered an horchata, blue- mango lemonade, Birria Tacos, and steak quesabirtia. I enjoyed the tacos,I wasn't able to taste the mango flavor in the lemonade. My daughter didn't realize there were plantains in the quesadilla and she stated that messed up the taste for her. She also had the horchata, she said it had a lot of cinnamon in it. The staff was very polite, out food arrived in to-go containers since it was ordered through the app. The server took out trash at the end when normally they only handle the dishes. read more

Love Talkin Tacos! I used to go to the Jax Beach location when I was living on that side of town but now that I moved to Southside over a year ago and the Town Center location opened, I was so happy! It's my go to spot especially for late night eats as they close @ 2AM. As a native New Yorker who moved to Jacksonville 3 years ago, it's really hard to find late night food spots that are actually good quality. I always get the Bean Tortilla Rice Bowl. Soooo good. I've also had their vegan mushroom and bean tacos too. Their rice? The best very flavorful. Definitely a great location and the staff are always friendly. Service is fast too. read more

Let me start off by saying I had Amazing service. Our server took the time to greet us, go over the menu a little on the kiosk, and also offer us a drink while looking everything over. He was very attentive and gave great suggestions on some of his favorites and must try popular items. I did order a taco he highly suggested and it ended up being my favorite out of the taco trio I tried. I also got a Mexican soda to go with my 3 tacos. During the meal, our server checked on us a couple times to see how everything was. The restaurant looked clean and I loved the black light art work - Very different and unique! I think the tacos just weren't an absolute hit with me, and it is a me thing. All of my tacos came on corn tortillas. I had a hefty amount of birria dip for my one birria taco I ordered. Birria wasn't bad at all but it wasn't my favorite. The dip seemed a little watery. Great service, great ambiance - not so great food (again, could just be me) The taco market here in Jax is very saturated so there is tough competition. Talkin tacos has two locations in Jax, a few in Orlando, and some further south, so clearly they are doing something right. I wish them nothing but success. The ambiance alone is worth ordering something from here. I have heard wonderful things about their churros but did not have time to order dessert on my visit. read more

Great place. I loved my meal: horchata to die for, a magnificent quesabirria & Mexican street corn. Nothing but good things to say about it! I was with a group of older folks who found the ordering technology challenging but it's actually very easy to use. Everyone survived ordering & loved their meals --lots of glorious nachos & tacos! Highly recommended to anyone young enough or young at heart enough to face down the technology! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely setting--we ate outside & had wonderful service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have to add in as well that I have ordered a lot of Horchata and I have been around the U.S. and this I would say is the #2 for me at being the best. If you're in the area and you want to grab a quick bite of good Mexican food look no further eat hear. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was great and the ambiance was great as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

What an insane late night food option. Walk in, put your order in at the kiosk and sit. 3 taco plus add a taco was a great option for us to each pick 2.

First, I'm not a fan of standing in line to place my food order on a kiosk; some people ahead of me were not kiosk savvy and no one offered to assist them so line backed up. Then the food came out and the tacos were too greasy to eat. No sauces available, it comes like you see it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was clean, but pricey for the self-serve and quality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Disappointed. read more

This place was cute inside. I love the atmosphere. Do I think it's a bit overpriced for the food?? Yes. It's like a fast food of Mexican food. You do get a big serving but my rice bowl with chicken didn't have much flavor it was packed with sour cream. My chicken was cold too. They have good strawberry lemonade but I'd rather go to Chipotle for the same type of food and price because of the flavor. read more

They have kiosks where you order your own meal and pay for it then they bring your food to you. The steak rice bowl is what I ordered. Its a nice size bowl that will run you about $17 dollars. It was yummy. The staff brings your drinks and water. I would go back read more

When first entering Talking Tacos a worker is at the door to greet and point you in the direction of the kiosk to place your order, once you place your order one of the workers will bring it out to you. They have some pretty cool Mexican graphics in neon colors that makes the place look pretty trendy, I liked it. I first started with a Mango Lemonade which was sweet and cold. I just wish they would've use regular mango chunks instead of completely frozen ones because I hate trying to bite into any frozen fruit. My husband ordered the California Burrito which compared to other places was a little small but filled with plenty of toppings. I ordered the Queso Birria and the meat had a good flavor and the seasoning tasted authentic. Both dishes were filled with meat but the chips were got along with our meal was stale and the salsa barely had flavor and needed salt. Overall the food was good but if they fixed all the little inconveniences I would've rated them 5stars. read more

Everything was perfect. The lighting, the surrounding, the food, especially the tacos!

Efficient and and easy to order using the kiosk. Great atmosphere and food was delivered quickly for being a crowed Saturday afternoon. Ordered the Birria Tacos and the dipping sauce tasted pretty much like Au Jus for a French Dip, tasteless. Meat was tender yet no WOW factor for the price you are paying. Saving grace was the Guacamole & Chips which was very flavorful. Only down side was the styrofoam ramekin is not designed for dipping as it was too deep and narrow. There was a strong chemical odor in the air. Nice for a check in the block, there are just too many affordable and flavorful selections to choice from. read more
