Ladybird Taco

It was a nice day and I decided I wanted a patio and some margaritas. I have yet to try Fridas so I…read moregave it a try. I love the sunken patio which is perfect for relaxing in the shade. When we got seated outside by the friendly staff, we were given menus and free chips and salsa. As I nibbled on the chips and salsa which were just okay I browsed the drink menu. There's a full bar here and plenty of options. Over the course of the afternoon I tried the Frida's Rita and the wonderful rabbit. Both drinks weren't in your face with the tequila mezcal, they were mixed nicely and had a well rounded flavor. I much preferred the Woderful rabbit though as it tasted less watered down and the ginger beer paired with the mezcal was almost quenching. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy Mexican cocktails this is a good spot! We did feel rushed to get out of there, and maybe it was because we weren't ordering food. Overall good experience however.

One thing I really liked was the wide variety of protein options on the menu. I ordered two tripa tacos and was very happy with the flavor. The tripa was well-seasoned, and the tacos were satisfying overall. The staff on the truck were friendly and patient while I decided what to order, and I never felt rushed. My food was prepared quickly, which I definitely appreciated. The only downside was the price. I paid around $11 or $12 for two tacos, which is a bit more expensive than the food truck I usually visit. That said, I assume the higher price is due to the Lakeview location. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely stop by again if I'm in the Lakeview area.

Where do I begin?…read more First of all, the restaurant is very colorfully decorated, which instantly brightens the mood. We were able to seat ourselves, and immediately afterwards the waitress brought complimentary salsa and chips as she took our drink and food order. The salsa and chips were very good. The chips were crisp and freshly made and the salsa had just the right amount of kick to it. It was sweet and unique and I could see myself ordering it as a to-go order. For our entrees, I ordered 3 street tacos and cheese dip. My guy ordered the steak fajita plate. After a short wait, our food arrived, hot and fresh off the grill. I wasn't a fan of the pollo taco. It was bland and lacked any type of flavor. However, the campechano and chorizo versions were much better. The cheese dip stayed watered down even after it cooled but had a good flavor to it. I looked up to see my guy reaching for the salt shaker several times. I tasted a small serving of his steak. Yall..,.I kid you not. That steak had no type of seasoning-no salt, no pepper, no nothing had been sprinkled on it. To sum it up...it was overcooked and under seasoned. He kept trying to doctor the dish up by adding salt and pepper but after a while stopped because that should've been done in the cooking of the dish. He only ate a 1/3 of his dish. Upon paying the check, he attempted to share his disappointment with the waitress, who now all of a sudden, doesn't understand English. Keep in mind, we had been communicating with her just fine throughout our time there. Needless to say, we will not be returning to the restaurant location anytime soon. I've visited the truck before and will return there.

Ladybird Taco is a cute, bright spot filled with plants and a welcoming vibe. The service was impressively quick, making it a great option for a fast lunch. I liked the self-serve sauces, and the brisket taco was delicious, but the breakfast tacos, while packed with egg, didn't have much flavor. Even the Migas taco, unfortunately. My friend got the esquite but wasn't impressed with the amount of pico. It's not a traditional restaurant, so I didn't expect a full dining experience, but I do wish the tacos came with a side, like chips, to feel more complete. Overall, it's fine for a quick bite, but I wouldn't rush back unless someone else wanted to go. read more

I'm currently on a "doctor-inspired" diet (aka I had some dental work done yesterday), so no burgers, no corn on the cob, no tearing into anything that fights back. If it's not bite-sized, it's not happening. So I played it smart and went with the trusty burrito bowl--this time with steak. And let me tell you, that was the right call. That steak? Tender, fresh, and seasoned exactly how it should be. No surprises there... Taco Mama doesn't really miss. Now every few bites, you catch one of those jalapeños sneaking in, and it hits your taste buds with just the right little Southern kick. Keeps things interesting. Then you get that perfect bite where the queso decides to make an appearance--next thing you know it's dripping down your chin like you forgot you were in public. No shame. Atmosphere still holds up too. Strip mall location, but they've got those big garage doors rolled up so it feels halfway outside, halfway inside. Patio's open, music's going, lunch crowd doing their thing--it just sits right. All in all, solid choice... again. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a full stomach and a date with a nap.

Especially with the quesadilla, I would opt for a smaller portion if it knocked a few dollars off the price. I will add, I used to work at a Taco Mama and I know the front of house staff gets paid about $6/hr. They're working for tips, like most service industry folk.
