However, it was still very good, and I'll keep ordering. My tacos were delicious, and portions are great. The sopes were so good, and I loved the ones with baby shrimp. They puts lots of shrimp. My stepdad had the chorizo sopes, and he said they were delicious too. It's nice to have traditional Mexican food nearby.

The menu was different than regular Mexican fare, but still delicious. I ordered a chorizo quesadilla and found it to be super delicious! My friend got a chorizo torts as well as a cup of Jamaica. He loved both. The waitress was very kind and helpful. Just a heads up though: the staff only speaks Spanish. Luckily I'm fluent.

When she called to explain the issue there was little understanding or remorse. When she returned the Steak Cemita to exchange it for a Chicken Cemita, they gave her another Steak Cemita with chicken as well... Luckily I have no dietary restrictions but my Chorizo Burrito was ok at best. It lacked flavor and was mostly rice and veggies. We love Mexican food. We have several favorite local Mexican Restaurants. This particular establishment did not deliver on customer service, flavor, or value. It pains me to admit it, but it was a horrible experience all around.

The mini chimichanga and quesadillas from their happy hour menu are a great value as well. The ambience is great - high ceilings, colorful decor, and reggaeton music.

Tacoria is one of those consistent comfort food type of places. You want to go out for a quick bite…read moreover lunch hour? My mind always gravitates to tacoria. The built it yourself burrito, bowls, and tacos are a treat and can be customized to your liking. The house made salsas and drinks and great accompaniments, especially alongside some nachos to go with the meal. It's rare for a place to give you the right amount of nachos, but Tacoria does it. It's consistently good tacos I can count on, though my go-to is usually a burrito bowl. When you only get an hour for lunch, this is where you'll find me.

Hip date night spot! I've tried to visit this establishment in the past (about six months ago) and…read morethere was a very long wait, even with a reservation. Due to the long wait (1 hr+) in the fall, we ended up leaving and not trying out this restaurant. This time, I was pleasantly surprised that we were seated within a few minutes in the outside dining area, even without a reservation this go around. The drinks are the focal point! There are so many options, all of which are unique and delicious, and they come out looking so fun. I had the Tamarindo and my husband opted for El Jefe. The Tamarindo had a delicious, sour tajin rim. I was sold from that point on! Before any food came out, we were provided with complementary chips, pico de gallo, and hot sauce. A nice way to ease into the food. Our appetizer was a citrusy shrimp dish, with the seafood plated on avocado mouse. I've never tried avocado in this format and it was so delightful- soft and creamy! The sauce was perfectly citrusy and the presentation made it look like art. My main dish was the spicy shrimp tacos. They were sufficiently packed, not overfilled, which I appreciated. I was full after one taco and had two more to take home. Overall, this is a good energy, lively spot with loud Latin music and good eats. Slightly on the pricier side, but well worth the energetic atmosphere. Staff were so friendly and helpful- couldn't ask for more in this department. Great way to spend a summer evening!

They validate parking at the restaurant when you leave if you ask. Bright "Mexican" themed interior. Modern & clean approach, friendly staff. They give complimentary Popcorn. Kettle style so slightly sweet & seasoned with salt & tajin. We ordered the Mi Amor Margarita & Mockarita (Margarita Mocktail)[not pictured]. They have a small mocktail menu, FYI. For food we had Truffle Street Corn, Salsa Flight, & Chef Taco Board. The Chef Taco Board feeds 3 people, we used it for 4. It comes with 9 Tacos & 1 side. You can choose from the list of Tacos that they have, so you get 3 of each taco you choose. We chose the Jalisco Birria Melt Tacos, Slow Braised Carnita Tacos, & Pineapple Fire Shrimp Tacos, our chosen side was the Yuca fries. A nice an experience & a place I'd recommend if someone were in the area looking for Mexican. Note: They add a 2.90% convenience fee to your check for card usage. Not a fan of that, but whatever.

My chicken breast was good (everything else on the plate was bland), and my daughter's green enchiladas were ok. My husband's birria quesadilla was very good according to him and my daughter. The service was awful! The waitress handed us iPad menus and never said to order on the tablet or if she was going to come back for our order. The menu is not extensive, just fyi. You can only get taco platters with all the same taco meat, not a variety. The enchiladas are also only 1 way for all three on the plate. Whatever...I can deal with that, if the food was great. It's not. The black beans were room temp with no seasoning, the corn on the cob - no salt, no butter. The guac was also bland. We were never offered water refills and she never asked us if we wanted a drink until after our meals came. We didn't, but it was said with a huge sigh and eye-roll. As a side note, this was a grown woman waiting on us, like an abuela, not a teenager. She never came back to our table, until she saw another waitress come over and bring us boxes for leftovers - that we had to go to the bar to ask for. Oh, important point - the restaurant was not busy, so she was not in the weeds. The restaurant could be an amazing spot if the service was better and they seasoned the food. It is NOT worth the money.
