    Great new place to try on a TACO TUESDAY! DISCOUNTED TACOS which are very good! The Shrimp tacos have a very generous portion of shrimp. The guacamole is creamy and packed with flavor. Great food and service!

    We came for lunch not even realizing it was Taco Tuesday! So it was a nice surprise to get a discount. The restaurant is located in a strip plaza on the east side of the street . There's no sign above on the marquis, but you'll see the name spelled out on the windows below. There's ample parking in the free lot. Inside, the menu to me is more Mexican than Cuban. We'd had a lot of meat/steak so although that's what they specialize in (per our server), we chose an order to share of shrimp tacos. We got some complimentary salsa and chips while waiting. The salsa had a slight kick -- more than the usual gringo ones do. There were four tacos to an order with grilled shrimp topped with the traditional (authentic) Mexican style: cilantro and onions only; and the soft tortillas were doubled to make for easier hand holding. We'd also ordered some guacamole which turned out to be wonderful -- flavorful, chunky, and with bits of tomato and onions in it, too. We'd tried it with the chips and then even put some on top of the shrimp. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, then this small restaurant is the place. Enjoy!

    I'm so thrilled we stumbled upon this place!! Absolutely legit Mexican food. Starting off with the chips and salsa- just like our favorite places in New Mexico- crispy fresh and while the salsa isn't hot it's the perfect texture and very flavorful. We got four tacos- a Birria, pastor, carnitas, and a chorizo; all were delicious. My favorite was the chorizo which was surprising for me! It was perfectly balanced with spice and the onion. We also got some red enchiladas which were really good- the red is smoky and again, not wildly spicy but very flavorful. The carnitas were juicy! All in all, we will definitely be coming back for some authentic street style tacos!

    Great find thru Yelp, traveling in new town for a bit and so glad we trusted the reviews, didn't disappoint. Also tried the elote and empanadas, both great and well seasoned. Kind service too, accepts all payments

    Oh my gosh! So delicious! Small hole in the wall. Friendly service, authentic food, fun decor! Highly suggest! The fresh salsa and guac is amazing! Everything is fresh and made to order!

    Their tacos are amazing! I get them every Saturday. Service was great and super nice. The first time we went there they gave us samples to try. Their horchata is fantastic. Newly renovated with nice decor, and very clean. Love this place and I highly recommend them. The taco deal is pretty good too!

    Tijuana Taxi Co is right around the corner from us, so it's usually our go to spot when we want…read moresomething quick and easy. We are typically seated right away, and the chips and salsa arrive almost immediately. One thing that has changed recently is their chips and salsa policy. They used to provide additional chips and salsa at no charge, but now they charge for refills. I believe it was around $3 for an extra order, which feels a little excessive. Our favorite menu item is the fajitas for two, with half chicken and half steak. It comes with six taco shells, a sizzling skillet loaded with meat, peppers, and onions, plus a plate of lettuce, pico, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything is super flavorful, and it's always more than enough food for us. I also like adding the table salsa to my tacos, although I'll probably do that less often now that extra salsa comes with an added charge. The service is consistently good and attentive, and we're usually in and out without any long wait. While I'm not a fan of the new chips and salsa charge, the food, convenience, and service keep us coming back. Overall, it's a reliable spot that we enjoy visiting.

    I'm very disappointed with how my recent visit to Tijuana Taxi on Federal Highway in Deerfield…read moreBeach was handled. About a week ago, I stopped in to ask whether they would consider donating a raffle item for Chiari's Little Warriors and our upcoming Walk for Chiari. I spoke with one of the gentleman managers, who was extremely kind and supportive. Tijuana Taxi has helped us in the past, and he immediately said they could do something again this year. Their machine was down, so he asked me to come back. I returned yesterday because I had specifically been asked to do so. When I came back, I spoke with the office manager, and I found the way she spoke to me to be very rude and upsetting. I was even more disappointed to learn that she later told the gentleman manager that I had been rude and was demanding gift cards. That is not what happened. I was simply explaining that I had returned because I had been asked to come back regarding a donation that had already been offered. I completely understand that no business is ever obligated to donate, and I would never demand a donation from anyone. If they had changed their mind, I would have respected that. My disappointment is entirely with how I was treated and how the interaction was later described. I do want to make clear that the gentleman manager I originally spoke with was wonderful, kind, and gracious. Unfortunately, the way my return visit was handled left me feeling very disappointed.

There were attitudes and very little willingness to actually listen to or accommodate the customer. What bothered me the most was the lack of transparency when it came to pricing. I felt like I was being overcharged without anyone clearly explaining the additional charges beforehand. Customers should not have to question their bill or feel like charges are being added without proper communication. There also seemed to be absolutely no accountability when mistakes were made. Instead of taking responsibility and trying to resolve the issue, I felt like the situation was brushed off. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles those mistakes says a lot about its customer service. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but customers should still be treated with respect, honesty, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Management really needs to address the customer service, communication, pricing transparency, and accountability because experiences like this can easily make customers not want to return.
