Unfortunately, our experience here was very disappointing. When we walked in, we were not greeted,…read moreand the overall service felt very unprofessional. There appeared to be several young employees working, and the atmosphere felt more like they were there to socialize than provide good customer service. I ordered an elote and was surprised to see yellow cheese added to it without anyone asking if I wanted it. There were also no condiments available, such as salsa or other toppings, which was disappointing. I also ordered tostilocos, and they were not made correctly. They only put cheese, lettuce, and chicharrones on them, leaving out several of the ingredients that you would normally expect in tostilocos. It was very underwhelming and not what I ordered. To make matters worse, when I pointed out that my drink was made incorrectly, the employee went over to her friends and talked about the mistake instead of simply apologizing and fixing it. Throughout our visit, we felt like we were being stared at, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. Overall, the service was extremely unprofessional, and the food was not prepared the way it should have been. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

The customer service is 10/10, very willing to help and answer questions.

When the right people succeed in a small town like Lubbock, there's nothing but joy I feel. One of…read morethe best consistent and on-point food trucks in Lubbock for a while has been Taste Buds. Spending many weekends outside Good Line in Tech Terrace, Taste Buds is a modern take on cafe food. They use some of the freshest ingredients in Lubbock and put so much care into their small but ever-changing menus every week. For the past few years, they've been running out of a food trailer, but thanks to their quality and success, they opened a brick and mortar location off 50th Street earlier this year. I finally got to check out their new spot, and it's everything I'd hoped it'd be. When I went on Friday, they were hosting an artisan market on their premises so they were pretty busy selling out of their menu, but my girlfriend and I were able to get what we wanted. Inside, the shop is decorated to the nines with decor and cute artifacts everywhere. It felt like a curated antique shop. If you see the pictures attached to this review you'll understand. I ordered a lemon pepper seasoned version of their Fried Chicken Sammich that has some of the freshest lettuce around and an excellent mayo (maybe house made?) on their sesame seed bun. The chicken was super crispy but not dried out and overcooked on the inside. Fantastic. My girlfriend ordered their weekend special naan wrap with chicken with cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and pickled onions. She loved it. Both of our meals were served with their house-made chips that were crispy and fresh. I could eat a whole bag of them. For dessert, we split a Chocolate Cake with a blueberry compote. It was very similar to a black forest cake, though the compote was served on the side. All the flavors played the same as a black forest cake. It was a great conclusion to the meal. The prices are pretty fair for the quality of the food and the fresh ingredients. The sandwich ran me $14.75 and the cake was $6.99 which was a great size to split between two people. You're paying for fresh ingredients and quality here, so it's worth any price tag. Taste Buds is still reaping the rewards of their success thanks to the quality food they put on the table, and I'm excited to see them continue to have success in Lubbock because there's no place doing it like them. RIYL: Ingredients you can taste.

I tried the dill chicken naan wrap and it was SO GOOD that I literally didn't put it down till I finished the whole thing, the wrap didn't skimp on nothing! Bursting with local farm fresh produce, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, lettuce, feta all topped onto a bed of delicious dill marinaded chicken pieces! I had a mango tea with some sour cherry syrup to help wash down my wrap! Perfect for a hot Texas day. And they don't stop at entrees, Tastebuds offers a rotating selection of desserts that you can't find anywhere else! I took the mandarin orange cake home with me to have for later, if you're ever around 50th street in Lubbock swing by Tastebuds and give the a shot!

The menu is built of choices; pick your item (like shake, cone, or Mexican funnel cake) then pick an ice cream flavor, choose a drizzle (the choices range from strawberry to dulce de leche to cheesecake), and finally add a topping (candy, nuts, fresh strawberries, etc). There is always a churro - the funnel cake, the cone, a churro stuck into the top of the shake, etc. Epic level desserts! Also, it appears they would be a good lunch spot - there is a whole menu board of Papas Locas! A bed of fries, breaded chicken (or other stuff) and sauce drizzled over everything; yes, please! And several hot dogs to choose from (I'll be going on a Wednesday when dogs are only $5 each - usually $7.50), the street dog and the elote dog look particularly good. I'm goingnto steal that influencers line now - with restaurants like this around, I will never be a skinny man!
