Paid 13 dollars for a build your own bowl. It was smaller than chiplote bowl. It was a kids meals bowl. I'm definitely still hungry after eating the bowl. Go to chiplote for the price it's bigger and better. read more

Tinga Tacos - 13 dollar Build Your Own Bowl. - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We stopped in to give this place a try. First things first. I wasn't blown away by the friendliness of the girl at the register. She seemed irritated at times through out our order. Mainly because it was our first time in as we didn't really know how to order here. Did not care for that. I got the Tinga Tacos. They seem to have a good lunch special. 2 tacos a side and drink for 10 bucks. Not to shabby. I enjoyed my tacos and the queso is pretty good as well. All said I would give it another try. Plus I know how they want us to order now so maybe the front girl won't be so put out. Peace out read more

I have not even tasted my food tonight because I am so unhappy. My family chose Tinga Tacos for our "Celebrate our Hispanic Heritage" dinner this evening. We should have went somewhere else. The guys in the back really did not seem to want to be there tonight. They messed up part of our order, so it was a 40 minute round trip to handle that. Since my family likes to eat together, I asked for 4 corn tortillas to replace the tortillas that were breaking down. Apparently, that was a problem. Think twice before trying this place. It's kind of sad because the reviews are pretty good. So I guess our mistake was coming here for dinner instead of lunch. read more

Tinga Tacos - 1st time...we will see. - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Bought 2 build your own bowls for $30...i thought it was a joke when they gave me the bowls. Literally appetizer size....the bowl wasn't even 1/2 full. Tasted great but holy hell...give me what I paid for. Most likely will NEVER spendoneu at this food trucl again. Very disappointing. read more

RUN to get the ( limited time ) mushroom tacos !! If you like flavor , creativity and chef quality you will love these ! And even the simple and so delicious crunchy shells were amazing !! If it would allow me to rate it higher , I would ! read more

I door dashed three different tacos - one chicken one pork one beef. What arrived were three of the same kind - all beef. I ordered corn - didn't get it. Some UI sauce I didn't order was in the bag. It all tasted disgusting - to the point that I kept spitting it out. gave up on it three bites into the meal. $30 down the drain. Never again. read more

The crusher tacos were very good. The only complaint is that the chips had so much salt. I literally got dehydrated just looking at them. It hurt to eat. It's enough salt to take out an elderly person if they ate it. read more

I was visiting Missouri and at a food truck festival. I ate at Tinga tacos, and it was literally the best taco I've ever had. I loved the pickled, it was exploding with flavor & so fresh. read more

Tinga Tacos - two tacos and a drink - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Tinga is a great spot for lunch! We came in with a larger group, and they had our food out in a very swift manner! I got the lunch special, which was two tacos, a side and a drink. The tacos were good. They were pretty slim on the toppings/filling, but the flavors were good and they weren't messy. My favorite thing on my plate was the guacamole--talk about flavorful, textured, and all around delicious! If I had known it was that good, it might've been my meal, compliments to whoever was slingin guac that day! The place is a bit on the smaller side, so I could see the wait being long if they fill up, but I think this was a cool spot to visit on our way through Springfield, and I think that guac alone gives me enough reason to come back and visit! read more

Tinga Tacos - lunch special--two tacos, a side, and a drink - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I was really torn on whether to try this place due to the wildly mixed reviews here. Five stars versus one stars. But, I was in the mood for tacos, so gave it a whirl. While I didn't get one, I absolutely love that they have a cheese curd taco on their menu! I did the BYO with steak (which is shredded), jalapeño corn, cilantro, cheese, and taco sauce. Ummmm. Please may I have 10 more of these? They were perfect. The balance of filling to taco shell was perfect. The taste was on the spot. They were delicious. I also ordered chips and queso. The chips are super crunchy so if you have sensitive teeth you might want to bypass, or grow stronger ones, because the chips are awesome. The seasoning is . The queso is a bit thicker with chunks and I highly recommend. So, why only 4 stars, you might ask? Well.... it was just a tad on the pricey side. For two tacos and the chips and queso, it was just over $15. So, the value wasn't great, but the food is worth it. Also, the young woman working at the counter was a delight! read more

Great place! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed! This was the build your own nachos read more

Tinga Tacos - Great Taco place! I had the nachos today and there was so much! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed! - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Between the 3 of us we tried almost every taco in the menu. We loved them all. We devoured them so fast I forget to take pictures. Even though We were there late on a Friday night everything was still fresh. We will be back for more! read more

The cheesy corn is weird. I was thinking that we were getting actual Mexican street corn, but nope. It was "bad," just weird. We ordered: - Shrimp Tacos; - Tofu Tacos; - Cheese Curd Tacos; - Nachos; - Cheesy Corn All of the tacos were good; the cheese curd tacos were the best--so surprisingly delicious. The nachos were okay, but nothing to write home about (but not bad). We'd come back. read more

The tacos lacked seasoning and within a couple hours I felt sick. It has been 12 hours and I still feel sick. My friend who ate there also got sick. Nice staff, but can't forgive food poisoning read more

Overall this place was great. My wife & I tried 4 tacos: Tinga Taco, Udder Delight, Fu Yu, & Mr. Bean The first two (meat) were pretty decent. The 2nd two are vegetarian options and were even better than the meat-based options! Fresh Mexican feel & moderate prices. GF, vegetarian, and vegan friendly. Super clean environment & the cook was really kind/helpful. We will come back. :) read more

Way too greasy!! Just an average taco with an abundance of fat. Perhaps better quality ground beef would be decent. Service was lackluster. The person at the counter didn't seem as if they wanted to be there. It looked pretty clean inside, so that is nice! Oh! If you need your stools loosened, eat away. read more

Tinga Tacos - One of many piles of grease. Solidified bc I had to refrigerate one of two tacos after only being able to eat one. - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

This is a place for WEDOS..... if you know better mover around. Only WEDOS don't cook your tortillas.... Not worth the price per taco.. Just go to a taqureria... Bland , no spices, no salsa you know WEDO shit. read more

The place is always fun. Simple to order, enough option to make it interesting... Tasty food and a very good margaritas!!! read more

The phone did not eat first for this post ladies and gentlemen. Food was done quick, and customer service was exceptional. Although I think the $ on the business page on yelp should be changed to a $$ or maybe even a $$$ because 4 tacos cost me $18. Granted that two tacos were tri tip steak but the other two were just plain beef soft tacos. The make your own option is nice but expensive, next time I will definitely look at the menu more because my wallet took a hit. Food was good, but nothing spectacular. Just what you would expect from a late night taco joint. read more

The tacos are great. They have great ingredients and good flavors. I love that I can create my own taco if I don't like the options they have. Great place for picky eaters. Also if you want to split a meal, the nachos there have plenty to share for two. read more

This was our first time at Tinga Tacos, and it was extremely disappointing. We ordered a variety of tacos so that we could really get a taste of everything - chicken, steak, pork, and tofu. The tacos were very small with not much meat inside. That aside, none of them had a flavor that kept us satisfied and wanting more. Even the corn tortillas had a dull taste. We did enjoy the crispy chips and their seasoning. However, the side of guacamole was not fresh and almost tasted like it was store bought, definitely not worth $5! There are better taco spots in Springfield so we won't be heading back to Tinga Tacos. read more

This is a small place, it can be loud or extremely quiet and there's no in between. The price is a little high but the tacos are great.

The tacos are fuxking awesome! I just wish you would pack crunchy and flour shells separately on the to go orders! The crunchy turns into a fuxking soggy. read more

Such great tacos!! I went on a Thursday and their 2 most popular tacos were only a dollar each! Amazing flavors and great service. Will definitely be visiting again. read more

Very good! I asked the cashier what she recommended I try and do and she helped immensely!

Tinga Tacos occupies a much-needed space in the downtown Springfield scene by offering a dash of gourmet enthusiasm to the cadre of late-night dining options. When the drunk munchies strike and you want something healthier than Sliders, this is a worthy alternative that's certainly better for you - and arguably better tasting. I sampled three different tacos on my visit, each with its own charms and drawbacks. First up was The Crusher, a basic beef and lettuce taco that was on sale for an absurdly cheap price. Then, there was the Steak Jam, which was delicious in spite of, rather than because of, the titular fig jam that was included. And, at last, the pièce de résistance, the Udder Delight, which was as close to taco Nirvana as this menu could get me. My memory's a little foggy thanks to events earlier in the evening, but I'm fairly certain my bill for all three slices of tortilla-wrapped goodness was under $15 and probably closer to $12 - which is a pretty good value compared to some of the other higher end taco restaurants that have been popping up around the country recently. That said, Tinga Tacos suffers from the same affliction that has burdened every other restaurant at this end of McDaniel: there is almost no seating. So, depending on the time of night (or day), be ready to wait or get your food to go. But, beyond that, there's a lot to love at this downtown paean to internet food memes. read more

This place was great! With better prices or larger portions this would easily be 5 stars. I had the Double Deuce, Crusher, Tinga Taco and Chips and Guacamole ($16.xx with tax for carry out and no drink). Tacos were small but very tasty. They also had a sweet vinegar hot sauce which was really good. Recommend you go there. read more

Tinga Tacos - Signature Crusher Taco - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I asked the "order-taker" to pick three tacos for me and he complied. He selected the Tinga Taco, their signature taco, the Double Deuce, and the Udder Delight. All three tacos were delicious with the Tinga Taco being my favorite. It was very fresh tasting and all ingredients were of the highest quality. I recommend Tinga Taco but be certain you are ready to spend the money necessary for a premium Taco experience. It was worth the price but the price point places this dining experience into the "very occasional treat" category. read more

Out of town visitor, it was a great experience. It was not busy the night we were there. We had prompt and friendly service. The food was very good! We had nachos and the thicker chips were amazing. We also had a couple tacos which were both good. Nice, clean and friendly! Great food! read more

I'll start with saying the prices are kinda hefty but the amount of food you get, along with the taste makes it worth it. Every time I go I am never disappointed. Only reason why I didn't get it five stars is because they seem to never have their lobby open and I have gone a couple times to them being closed during opening hours. Little confusing, but good food! read more

Ok tacos. Unwelcoming workers, they seem annoyed by your presence. Female worker had a bad attitude and didn't want to assist me when I asked her to tell me what's on the corn jalapenos. Won't come back here. read more

I love, love, love Tinga! Best tacos in town, original flavors, and the pickled carrots are amazing! I always get Tinga when I'm doing shows downtown and have recently started ordering through DoorDash. Today, when I ordered my delivery, I received a handwritten Thank You note! I thought that was the kindest thing and wanted everyone to know that Tinga's is not only great food but excellent service with employees who go out of their way to add a personal touch. Highly recommend! read more

I rarely write reviews but this place is worth a review. Absolutely amazing tacos! Just the perfect amount of flavor and heat. Crispy taco shells seasoned to perfection and don't leave without a side of cheesy corn! And the staff gets Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Design of the place is great, service was great, and food was solid. Queso and chips was actually way better than I thought it would be. Only downside to places like this is you are paying almost $5 for a single taco. Obviously out or eat food is always more expensive, but considering you can make these at home extremely easy (and i do), for about 75 cents a taco or less, its one of those things people tight on money might stay away form. If not, go for it. read more

Tinga tacos is a wonderful place! It's a quaint place with some of the best tacos and margaritas on tap! The owner and her daughter are some of nicest people and they make you feel at home. I tried the crusher. I got one with chicken and one with beef. Both tacos were delicious. The margarita was so good and strong. Also they have a deal where you get three tacos and get a side for free. We also had their quest and chips. The chips are homemade and the yummy. The quest is soo good! I wish they had a location in Florida where I live. read more

After an event downtown, my lady friend and I decided to try this little place. Wow, I'm glad that we did! With our three tacos we got a free side, which saved us $4.50, which is a win in my book. The girl running the register was pleasant and engaging, and the food came out quickly! The queso was tasty and the chips were seasoned up in a really yummy way! Then the tacos themselves came out and it was love from first bite! Do yourself a favor and stop by this place next time that you're downtown! read more

The tacos were excellent as were the homemade chips. It's a nice, small location that was clean. The staff were friendly as well.
