    The food, the vibe, the decor and music were all a 10/10!…read moreHowever; there were just a few things that made my visit a 4 vs 5 star experience. All I wanted was to have a drink or two with my dinner with family. I ordered a mango margarita and it was not my favorite. The sour mix with the mango flavoring did not taste good at all. My husband also left disappointed because our server just came and brought us our check without asking if we wanted anything more. My husband had been thinking about his churros all day lol true story and we didn't even get asked if we wanted dessert. I am a former server and I do think it is not in the best taste to close out a check until you know your party was satisfied and ready to do so. Our server lost out on another round of drinks and desserts. Nonetheless, thank you Taco Grande for a great dinner.

    Been procrastinating on trying this place due to mixed reviews, but wound up here for a meeting at…read moremy colleague's suggestion... and it was fine. However, I should acknowledge that I didn't have a full meal here, instead opting for a margarita and a snack. My house margarita was fine... not the best I've ever had, but not bad either, though the $13 price point is a little steep. One of my colleagues ordered the Green Fire Margarita, which was a unique spin on a spicy margarita with some fresh herbs added, truly getting that "green" taste. Very unique, but would not be a good choice for the cilantro = soap crew. I ordered the side of plantains, which were cooked well and served with cotija cheese. Overall delicious, but nothing out of the ordinary. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. Vibe is cool, and they do have some patio seating overlooking the river.

    Literally an absolutely immaculate place. We just went for a quick drink but decided to sit down…read morefor an appetizer too. The atmosphere was so cozy and the Frida Kahlo mosaic mural is stunning! They gave us free chips and dips and a corn cake since it was our first time there. The queso was DIVINE. And the pice de gallo was so fresh and flavorful. Ive never had corn cake before but heaven knows im gonna be dreaming about it tonight! It was so moist and sweet, but not overly sweet, and the bits of corn were a fantastic touch. It was so warm and it simply melted in your mouth! The drinks were crisp and refreshing and really pretty. We had the short rib fries. The short rib was cooked to pure perfection, it wasnt tough or stringy and it was seasoned so well. The tangy pickled cabbage on top was a beautiful touch that complemented the dish swimmingly. I cant tell you what was better between the food and drinks or the waitresses. Zoe was our waitress but Carly also assisted in making our evening nothing short of a delight!! They were pure angels and they were sooooooo sweet and funny! Having them was like having your best friends working there, and they had my sister and I laughing and smiling the entire time. The manager was very professional but down to earth and made sure we were well taken care of. He served us our chips and dip personally and seeing him help out the staff showed me he was a leader of integrity and care. We're definitely coming back here. Great food, great prices and great staff. 100000000/10!!

    Stopped in at the advice of my husband's barber. He said this place has the best birria and he did…read morenot lie! AND they make them 3 ways with specials over the wknd. The menu is simple, but authentic. Hubs got tacos and utilized the salsa bar. There is a front room that is brightly lit with light music playing and then the back room is a bit darker worth the TV. Service was awesome and our food came out so quick. For drinks, I got the horchata and him the Jamaica. Both were delicious. I would definitely return and recommend. Parking is metered street. Dessert options are ice cream or churros. I'm leaving with the churros.

The carne asada is without a doubt the best I've found - it's not greasy, not dry, and you can taste that it's flame grilled. This place also doesn't skimp on the meat, so you're absolutely getting your money's worth. I ordered one of each of the tacos except the pollo asado (because, as I told the owner, I just don't really like chicken tacos), but the owner brought me a sample of the pollo asado while I was waiting for my order anyway so that I could try it. And I'll tell you what, that was some damn good chicken! You can tell that the owners are really excited about their food and are deeply invested in the quality. If you're looking for homey, authentic tacos, this one is a winner.
