    Juaritos Burger (double meat)
    Jeremy A.

    It all depends on your taste of burgers. I got the Juarez burger and it was decent. However, the add ons were a bit pricey. My burger and "Mexican coke" came out towards $20. Was it worth it, not at all. Their burgers are at least $8. Would I go here again, no.

Paulina our server, provided excellent customer service was polite l and attentive. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will definitely come back again!

    Cup of fries

    Within walking distance of the plaza holiday lights, the fam and me decided to stop by and check this lil hidden gem out. It was lil empty when we got but as soon we sat down groups came in...we brought the rush.. lol. I ordered the green chili burger. It looks like all burgers are double meat. My burger came with a cup of fries and I ordered a Mexican coke to drink it all down. About 10-15 minutes later the food came out and the burger was huge, big enough to have its own plate. Its was spicy, but not too spicy where I couldn't enjoy the taste. Food was good ambience was nice and the server was great. Check this place out if u in the DT area. Open late.

    We had a quick lunch here because I was craving a torta. The ambiance was simple, the prices are good (they often have specials), the food was good, and the service was nice. I would recommend the loaded fries and Mexican coke with your torta. Great place for a quick lunch.

    Flauta plate

    The food was amazing! We had the flautas, tacos, and cheese fries. The wait for food was a little long but so worth it.

    I placed a to-go order for 6 flautas, a torta De pastor, and fries. The restaurant was understaffed and I had to wait an extra 15 minutes despite ordering 20 minutes ahead of time. They informed me that they had run out of al pastor meat and added a beef frank to the burger instead. The flautas were not very flavorful and were too oily. The torta had good flavor, but I personally didn't like the beef frank they added. The fries aren't very good wouldn't waste money on them. The ambience inside was decent, but I wish the service had been faster.

    Pastor torts, 4 pastor taco plate, and fries

    Found this gem around the corner from our hotel. The place feels a little understaffed but the workers handled the rush with ease. The pastor meat has a spice to it so definitely worth to note. The bread on the torta was fresh and crisp. Everything felt and tasted very fresh. They do need a big menu above the register when walking in. Would make it more welcoming to first timers. There's a menu on the counter at the register.

    Patty melt with loaded fries delicious with a little spice

    First and foremost, I have to appreciate the cook and thefront of the house Joselin they did a marvelous job food presentation was phenomenal and the food was cooked just right as for joselin she has great FOH skills. I do recommend this spot.

    The food was amazing! Al Pastor Burger was my first, but sooo good. Back home the pastor is greasy, this was so perfect!

    Trendy little spot with solid options for lunch. Nothing comes small here; beware. Also, there are no diet sodas whatsoever and no iced tea. So it's beer, water, or sugar sodas. Obviously, I opted for the beer.

    heard about this place on IG and we came HUNGRY. long story short -- food 3/5, ambiance 4.5/5, service 5/5 we ordered 3 different burgers HAHA cuz were starving. each burger comes with fries and has the option to add other ingredients on it. we got the guacamole burger, al pastor burger, and the juarito burger. i would say my favorite was definitely the guacamole burger. i didn't like how the other burgers included just a slice of ham in there xD i like my burgers more simple (juicy beef patty with good sauces) HAHA. there's nothing too special about the buns or the sauces but it definitely hit the spot. each burger also comes with 2 patties so they are pretty big. the loaded fries are also not bad. crunchy crispy fries are my thing, but the fries here are a little soggy and unseasoned.... i loved the ambiance of the restaurant though! it's lively and not too busy which i liked. would come back and try their flautas next time!

    Delicious Flautas Order of 4

    Toss is a great quick stop for a fast bite. The food is good and proportions are plentiful. I think this is a great location if you find yourself wandering around downtown. The service is friendly and attentive. They have a menu that is sure to meet any hunger. I would definitely recommend.

    I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.
