Best shrimp tacos you'll ever eat! The owners are wonderful and have worked hard to create a restaurant that feels like you've been transported to rural Mexico and food that rivals every other Mexican restaurant in the States. The margs are fantastic and the toppings bar has my taste buds in a vice grip. read more

The worst burrito I've ever had, it was filled with plain, unseasoned rice with just a few beans, bits of lettuce, and tiny chunks of tomato. Asked for guac and got none. 32$ for two mostly rice burritos was not worth it at all. read more

Tacos are pretty decent in size and flavor. The shredded beef was probably my favorite. Service is very quick, our order was ready in about 5 minutes. Nice ambiance, has a local brewery right below it where you can bring your food and enjoy a drink. read more

From the outside it didn't look like much but the interior is so cute! Plenty of seating with natural lighting. We enjoyed the burrito and enchiladas. Just look at the size of our plates! Our server was lovely and even gave us complimentary house chips. Salsa was excellent. Flavorful and not too spicy. We left with happy full bellies. read more

Located right on Oak St, Lake Taco is in the hot spot of Hood River. Yet, it leaves much to be desired. It is quite expensive with small portions and mediocre flavors. We came after a hike along the Gorge, and they were quite busy, but service was friendly and welcoming. I got a cheesy taco and it didn't have much filling and it was $8. My friends also weren't impressed by their meals. I wouldn't be back, and I'm sure there are better places around Hood River to satisfy a hungry stomach. read more

Lake Taco - cheesy taco - Mexican Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Cool place with good food. I would recommend eating there because it gets cold by the time you get home. My big beef is they are always out of something Usually the in house made delicious chips seem to run out frequently!! I do not understand this. Make loads of them each day. Potatoes are cheap!! Guacamole is another item the run out of. Two easy fix items that would have changed my rating to 4 stars read more

Fux the noise from the bad reviews this place is sweet. The people kind, food is good, the drinks cold and delicious. Overpriced maybe but look at where they are located. HR, tourism, it makes sense. They do a good job a they are always trying to make you enjoy your time there. read more

The food was pretty good, but seemed overpriced. We got a small kids cheese quesadilla and 4 tacos and ended up paying almost 40.00. The staff was very friendly though.:) read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but when we stepped through the door, my wife and I both commented on cute the place is. A friendly waitress seated us, got us some water and then promptly too our order. I went for the barbacoa burrito and my wife got two tacos. One chorizo and the other was mahi mahi. It didn't take long to get our food served to us. My burrito was fantastic!! 10 out of 10. The best burrito I've had I quite awhile. I put some of the green salsa that was on the table (made fresh just a couple of days ago). My wife said that her tacos were really good and gave them an 8 out of 10. Keep in mind that she ordered them without cilantro and onion. Anyway, cute place, great/prompt service and very tasty food. I would come back. read more

Honestly not impressed by this place. Tacos are $4 and supposed to be street style so they are small. However, the tacos only come with meat (not even onions/cilantro) - which felt skimpy and cheap. I got the carne asada huarache and the huarache was pretty tasty with the homemade masa dough. But the quality of meat was disappointing - a weird texture and cheap tasting. My partner got the chorizo burrito and it was super spicy - they really should mention in the menu when something is this spicy. The restaurant was busy but honestly service was just slow. I'd pick another restaurant if I were in the area. read more

Salsa is a burst of flavor. Server helped me understand the menus. Cozy atmosphere in a converted house with quirky accents.

food so fresh and excellent, spicy margs on point, non-stop chips and beans(!) and service was 11/10 friendly and efficient. also very cute and quirky inside, loved it. thanks!! read more

We had a great meal here on a weeknight. The homemade corn tortillas had great flavor, and we left very full. I enjoyed the veggie toppings (mushrooms, zucchini, etc), in lieu of meat. read more

This food was amazing best Mexican food I have ever had recommend to people for sure!

Chicken burrito: huge, somewhat bland. Should have had the tacos. Nice ambiance. I ordered to-go but probably should have taken a table. Good, friendly service. read more

Lake Taco - Chicken burrito to go - Mexican Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

All time spot. They moved locations so it's way more updated. Which I appreciate, especially since the food hasn't changed either. The 'garnachas' (hope I'm spelling that right) are amazing! We had to special request it. It was an item they had back at their old location but had since left of their menu at the new location. I hope they reinstate it. Staff was so friendly and nice as always. read more

Food was very good. Had a Torta made with fresh bread and well seasoned carne asada. The guacamole was excellent served with (potato) chips (unique). Service was great and fast. Ambiance - an older house converted into a small restaurant with a limited view of the river. Will come back. read more

the food is good but service here is hit and miss. I've had multiple times where I had to wait 40+ minutes for my order. They don't tell you when they are out of sides then charge you full price for you meal with no sides. very underhanded business. read more

Food was delicious. Huarache plate was good and had plenty of meat! It had a a big home made tortilla and green salsa isn't too spicy but it was flavorful. Burrito was big. Got it with asada and chorizo. It was flavorful. Worth the price. read more

Found this thanks to Yelp! Definitely a happy find. The feel is "hole in the wall," and that's not a bad thing - the food is so good and the people very friendly. We parked in front of the house, ordered and went through the walkway to sit outside with our pup. They were attentive and quick the whole time. The food though... we ordered the burrito. If you like spicy salsa, this is your jam! The rice is fluffy, my husband couldn't stop raving and I agreed the whole time (: Must try if near, we know we'll be back. read more

This yummy spot was only a block away from where a gang of crazy girlfriends were staying for a couple of days of wine tasting and exploring. We all went there one evening for dinner and took our food downstairs to a very cool brewery that seems to be encouraging folks to bring their food downstairs and purchase beer / wine / or hard cider, and listen to some vintage vinyls. Back to Lake Tacos . . . I had two different tacos, a grilled fish and a grilled shrimp. They were both simple and delicious, made more so by the incredible handmade corn tortillas. I know someone in the group had a burrito and someone had a salad. Sadly, I was too focused on my incredible tacos to ask how their food was, but I can say everyone cleaned their plates. The menu seemed pretty extensive, and the staff were very friendly. They gave us all beepers to notify when our food was ready. The beer downstairs was good, and offered a good selection. Be sure to try the vibrating stool at the corner of the bar near the taps. You're in for a treat. ;) read more

Very cute place to stop in for some tacos. Service was slow. Great ambiance and the food was good.

This restaurant is a gem. The food was so fresh and delicious. I tried quesabirria tacos, mulitas, and garnachas. Each dish was packed with flavor and freshness. This family owned business is one you cannot miss. Luis helped us at the bar and his mom came out to share some history and spots in Mexico she recommends for me to visit. read more

Lake Taco - Garnachas - Mexican Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

When you are hungry and don't want a fussy meal, tacos are the most satisfying choice for me. Especially an authentic street taco which is exactly what you can get here. Several choices of protein - fish, grilled shrimp, carne asada, chicken, ground pork - all very flavorful on their own. Even veggie tacos. I typically get carnitas because I love the carmelized bits, but their pork was ground so I opted for something completely different and ordered grilled shrimp tacos. Perfectly cooked and with lots of flavor, I added cilantro, chopped onions and lots of fresh lime and was super happy! The corn tortillas are homemade and you can immediately taste the freshness! When fresh tortillas start as the base, you know each bite is going to be good! Instead of chips & salsa, they give you freshly made potato chips and tapatio hot sauce. They were wonderful! There is also a salsa bar so you can add other toppings. The have other menu items other than tacos - burritos, enchiladas, K-sadillas, huarache, mulitas, burrito bowls, soup and more! Ask the owner for recommendations. This is a small, local restaurant with casual seating outdoors when weather is good. Order and they bring you your meal. Service is super friendly! Often when you are in Hood River your day is filled with so many other adventures that you don't have time or want to sit down for a long meal. Or if you are like me, I'm often out adventuring on my own. This is where you should refuel! Add Taco Lake to your bookmarks! And put the address in your GOS so you don't drive past it. read more

The best tacos and carne asada in Hood River. We had a snafu with the order and they took care of it like champs. Literally an amazing place to grab tacos! read more

11.95 for a burrito seems really expensive, but it was a huge burrito and came with fresh potato chips, and great sauce, so the value is better than it seems...if you're very hungry or sharing. That said, as one of the other reviewers indicated the burrito was VERY light on meat, in a way that I think most people would mind. Flavors were good, but I seemed like just eating rice and beans with sour cream. The place is cute, but it is close to the road too, so while sitting outside is nice, there's a lot of street noise. I'd recommend, but there may be better in hood river. read more

Good Mexican in Hood River. People working there were extremely friendly. The tortillas made from scratch. We're from Southern California so we're spoiled with great Mexican food everywhere. By So Cal standards this place was average but it was still very satisfying and I would not hesitate to return when we come back to the Columbia River Gorge and had a craving for Mexican food. Three and a half stars. read more

Very good tacos. Excellent service. They also accommodated my request for spicy and vegetarian food

Friday night, not busy. Service was friendly but very difficult to obtain. Probably took 15-20 minutes to get the drink and food order in. Burrito macho was very bland and mushy. Gordita was bland as well. Also expensive but maybe that's how Hood River is these days. read more

This place was amazing!!! If I could give this more stars I would, our waiter was amazing and I would definitely recommend.

These lovely humans offer the best food. It was my go to for comfort food after losing my beloved puppers in 2020. I visited the old location but have heard the downtown location is great. Everyone that has had them cater has told me great things also! read more

WOW. The handmade tortillas are to DIE for. I think I got the 3 mini garnachas(?) with carne asada. Green salsa with crema and cheese both inside and on top. Bf got the fish tacos and those were also delicious. I can't believe this hidden gem is all the way in hood river, we would go every day if we could. I will be coming back whenever I do a hike in the hood river area. Out of this world good! And that's coming from a Mexican originally from Las Vegas! read more
