    Queso Fundido
    Derrick N.

    Really enjoyed my lunch at colossal. To start, chips were served and the sauce served with it is very good. I love me some queso fundido I ordered that as an app. I dipped the cheese in the chips and ate it with the tortilla chips. I enjoyed it. I then had the Al pastor tacos. It was not great, but still good and I enjoyed it. Big kudos to the decor inside. The art is very nice. The service was also very very good and there is plenty of space to sit with the restaurant having many tables. Would recommend.

    Taco Tuesday special $13
    Nicole P.

    I've driven by this place countless times and finally decided to try their happy hour that was advertised outside. Happy hour is offered from 12-6 Monday to Thursday and offered a variety of food for $9-$11 including flautas and appetizers. We tried the yuca fries and platter which included a taco, cheesy chorizo, and cheese quesadilla. They were large portions for happy hour specials and tasty! They also offer taco Tuesday special for $13 which includes an alcoholic drink and two tacos with a protein of your choice excluding tuna and Baja fish. Unfortunately they don't allow you to mix proteins. I had the mango margarita which was strong and steak tacos which were very flavorful. Tacos were a decent size and filled. I would definitely return especially on a Tuesday! Service was great and it was very clean! Decor was so fun inside!

    We love this place! We ordered Chicken Fajitas & Tostaditas Acapulquenas. The portions were generous and the tastes were authentic Mexican. The server was friendly & attentive. Nice ambiance, artworks are modern but classic. And one big bonus! The restrooms are spacious & clean!

    I can't believe I forgot to write this review right after. This place is exactly what Wharton needed. Food: Mexican fare with some cool additions, we started with the Colossal Calamari which might be one of my favorite calmari's to date. Light, airy, but the sauces were excellent. I also got a burrito bravado which is hearty and delicious. Service: our waiter Ali was exceptional. He was on top of everything and he was super nice. Aesthetic: sometimes restaurants have too many things up on the walls that are contrasting and make the room noisy. This place has a lot up, but it is the right style and right feel that makes this place such a beautiful location. I love the "traditional" pieces that they have hanging and their use of neon signs is cute and tasteful.

    Fish tacos

    The vibe in here is incredible. Sharp day-of-the-dead artwork, on-point neon lighting, colorful flowers at each table... the owners had fun setting this up, and they want you to have fun too. You'd never know that Pop's Chicken used to occupy this building. I was tended to by Camilo, who I gather is part of the family that operates Colossal. He's bilingual and talks super fast in both English and Spanish. I had to ask him a few times to repeat himself so I could understand the specials. They really have a huge menu, and unfortunately it's on an iPad, which is a turn-off. There were entrees over a huge range between $15-30, and I gather that the more expensive ones are far larger portions. I went with a coconut lemonade (perhaps a little too sweet) and fish tacos. I'd eat these fish tacos again: cooked to the right temperature, crunchy yet moist, slathered in mayo, and with shredded cabbage for texture. That said, they were messy to eat. The tortilla was just packed. My real cloth napkin (!) was just covered in sauce when I was done. I was disappointed not to find a margarita on the menu. In fact there were no alcoholic drinks. Maybe they'll get a license? This place has lots of ambition - you can see it in the playing, the decor, and the way the owners asked on my way out about my experience. It's really good already, and with some additional balance to the food it could be great.

    Tres Leches
    Lanah A.

    A Mexican restaurant gem to say the least! This spot has the cutest ambiance and can comfortable accommodate groups of all sizes. They have a small bar area with incredible cocktails and Mexican classics like Jarritos. The menu has a really nice variety and all of the dishes are plated as beautifully as they taste! The service was excellent and the staff were super attentive. Would definitely recommend this spot for any occasion!

    Servers were very attentive and welcoming, place was well decorated and picture worthy, food portions were adequate for the price. I wouldn't say it's authentic Mexican food but the food was good.

    The food was excellent. Accommodating with spice levels. We enjoyed their brunch menu. Very modern presentation. Ambience excellent and the service was even better. Guacamole was also excellent.

    Mango soda

    Great service. Great ambiance. Great presentation and flavor. I honestly can't say enough...I pulled up outside and there were not many cars but my daughter convinced me to try it and I am so glad we did!! It was amazing. Definitely worth stopping by!!

    Peach margarita with sugar rim
    Brooke H.

    So impressed with this place! We came here on a whim and could not have enjoyed it more. The food was high quality and delicious. The service was wonderful. Churros were on point like the rest of the meal. Can't recommend enough!

There is a full bar which is huge and can make any drink you wish. They have some excellent specialty cocktails. We ordered the guacamole and chips before ordering delicious entrees. We also got the corn and split it so we had room for dinner. I had the rib eye special with a chimichurri sauce, spinach mashed potatoes, and veggies. The steak was perfectly medium rare and the sauce was perfection. I never had spinach mash before but felt good about getting some extra iron in my carbs. I didn't love the zucchini, (weird taste) but the other veggies were fine. My friend picked the burger and fries to satisfy their beef craving. The fries were crispy and perfect while my friend said her burger was excellent. Other friend went for the salmon and veggies, she enjoyed it and had to bring some home because it was a big serving. Last friend got the chicken rice bowl special and opted for grilled chicken instead of fried. They were super accommodating about making changes so we had exactly what we wanted. Again, big portion so she is excited to have lunch tomorrow. The music is very lively and the service is excellent. Be sure to stop in but do make reservations. We decided to grab dessert and had the lemon raspberry cake plus some of the homemade sorbet. One cappuccino and a cup of tea made us all happy and we enjoyed a nice leisurely meal. My friends had not been here before and we all plan on coming back soon. There was valet parking, so be aware and bring some cash for tips if you are so inclined.

The cashier knew the menu, so he knew to clarify if I wanted a taco platter or just three tacos. They handed me a beeper so I wouldn't have to stand in a crowd. But the ingredients didn't come through. My tacos had cilantro, raw onion, a guacamole sauce, and steak - pretty classic, standard combination. Unfortunately the steak was of middling quality - easily worse than Chipotle's, which is a good standard - and I didn't feel the flavor either. On top of that the hard shells were all stale.

The grilled chicken soft tacos had tender pieces of grilled chicken, cilantro and onions in warm double wrap corn tortillas and limes and verde sauce on the side. The Mexican rice was cooked firm and not mushy. The black beans were cooked firm too. The flavors of the food were pretty good.

    i always go to taco bell, and there's usually no problems. but yesterday was DIFFERENT. yesterday…read moreit was about 12am when i went to taco bell right after the paranormal circus in rockaway so a lot of people wanted to get taco bell after because it was only 2 mins away. we were behind 2 cars and when we were ordering our food this guy said to wait a moment and so we did, but it was about 5 mins now so we asked and he said to wait again. at this point there was 3 cars behind us and 1 of them even started to honk at us. finally we ordered but it still took 10 mins to even get our food. before this we guessed that something must've happened upfront because the cars infront of us were not moving. at one point this guy that was a assumed door dash driver asked for the order because it said it was ready on the app and the drive through person didn't give him it even though the guy could see it in the back. he got mad and said he was going to report the store. when we finally moved up the drive through worker went on the phone as we already payed and we could see our food on the table, so it was cleary ready and the guy could give it to us but he remained on the phone until he was done and then gave us our food. i was confused because why couldn't he have just gave us the food instead of waiting for his phone call to be over. then when we left i started to eat my nacho fries and there was a weird goo on it. i always have had a good time with this taco bell but clearly not this time. i wouldn't go again with all this disturbance.

I just read a review from Antonio R. who seems to have had the same type of experience that I have had there. I called Taco Bell headquarters in California and made a complaint. They sent me a coupon but they don't seem to do anything about the management at this location. Thankfully, a new Taco Bell just opened on S. Salem St. (I think is technically in Randolph) just on the border with Dover where the old KMart used to be. Antonio, call them in California and register your complaint!
