    Pollo tamale
    Ron P.

    Looking for great tacos and a reasonably priced lunch, this is your spot. I tried the camron, el pastor and carne asada tacos, all three were excellent with their homemade hot sauce. The pollo tamale was great s well highly recommend if you're in the area and need some tacos in your life. In a rush, no problem, they crank out to go orders

    Cool, funky place I stumbled across. Food comes from a food truck, but they have a covered patio and actually send servers to do the running between the seated area and the truck (as well as a kitchen in a building). The tacos were good, I tried a variety. The real winner, at least for me, was the Mexican street corn. This is a definite must have here. Decent prices and if you want a beer with dinner, they got you covered. I would come back. I have had better, but this place is good. I stopped in on a pleasant Monday night, the weather was absolutely perfect, and enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the moment.

    The tacos didn't tiki my fancy here ! Knocking two stars off because the tacos I tried weren't that good. Ever since my palate was enlightened by authentic al pastor tacos in Mexico I have been trying to find the same magic in the states. So far no success . I ordered the al pastor and the carnita taco. The pastor taco was missing the pineapple that traditionally comes with this kind of taco . Also, the description on their menu even reads their pastor taco comes with pineapple but when I asked the waitress, she looked at me like I was loco. The pastor taco was drenched in marinade and just didn't taste good. The carnita had zero flavor and had fatty pieces in it . I was so very sad at how disappointing the tacos were. As for the atmosphere, I loved it . Seems like a local favorite as many people strolled up to the food truck while I was there to place an order to go . The place was busy and it was easy to relax and enjoy the evening breeze. The waitress was sweet and brought the food out in good time. Also, the restroom was clean- that's important! Overall, I would go here again and try something else because I did enjoy the atmosphere and service . Hopefully, I can add more stars next time .

    I ordered the Birria and I wasn't satisfied. I wanted to try something new, but u should have followed my guy and only eat at the same Mexican restaurant I have been eating at. I do not recommend this restaurant.

    Found this piece of metal in my tamale

    Don't know what this piece of metal is, sure it doesn't belong in food. Should get a refund.

    Food was delicious but the waitress was slow at everything without it being busy. Had to try this place from people saying it was the place to go for authentic Mexican food!

    Delish!!! I went here on my lunch break from work. I was embarrassed to be a dumb American who didn't speak Spanish and waited to go with a colleague who speaks Spanish but no need to worry, they spoke English and I ordered and everything was fine. Food was made pretty quickly and was very authentic and delicious.

    Tacos asada
    Erika W.

    I am so glad Larry Y.'s review of Tiki Taco came across my feed this morning because this place is legit. I felt like I was back in Fort Worth's Northside at my favorite taqueria. We got Tacos Asada, Quesadilla Asada and a Taco Americano. The tacos come with limes and radishes on the side and three different salsas. I didn't try the salsas because my tacos were perfectly seasoned and didn't need anything extra. I'm not sure how long we waited but it was a reasonable time considering this is a very busy but small operation. We had to wait longer for a table than we did our food - which we ordered at the window before we got the table. Great food. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

    Ordered from this place for the first time tonight and it is LEGIT! Their handmade corn tortillas…read moreput other places' to shame. Got 3 pastor street tacos and they were huge, loaded with delicious, flavorful meat, and so irresistible I ate all 3 and didn't take a picture! The free chips were thin and crisp, the salsa was super-fresh and not spicy. The housemade hot sauce is thick, loaded with spicy smoked chiles and will hurt you in the best way. I got free cheese dip and it is the best anywhere! Not gloppy, powerful cheese flavor- Monterey Jack? The banderita burrito got rave reviews, and I haven't had my chile poblano yet because I filled up on chips, but it looks amazing! I will consider leaving the house to dine in someday because I know it's even better on-site, and they're definitely in my Ubereats favorites.

We started with chips & salsa and the guacamole which was absolutely fantastic. I also had a huge & delicious margarita! For my entree, I ordered the "combo chico" which was one item of your choice (I picked a chicken taco) with rice & beans. It was a good portion size as I wasn't that hungry after all those chips & dips! We will definitely be back for more ;)

She did a good job. The food was expensive. We've never paid $10 for queso, which was overly thick and barely warm. The interior smelled strongly of mold so we asked to sit outside. There was no ambience. The ambience inside was also terrible, no decor at all. The music was unpleasant too. No rap please. The enchilada sauce was very strong tasting mole. The cinnamon and clove was overpowering. The chile relleno was small and the sauce tasted more like marinara sauce. The child's quesadilla was not warm enough and the cheese was like mozzarella. The rice, beans, and chips were good though. The margarita had way too much mix that was too sweet. For three of us the bill was $90, with only one drink. There are many other choices of local Mexican restaurants that are very good. Next time we'll return to El Jalapeno, Villa Cantina, or El Patron, all of which are reliably very good, with pleasant atmosphere.
