Their Horchata is off the charts and unique because it has additional cinnamon and texture. This drink is always a staple during my visits. Shared the crispy jalapeño poppers with ranch inspired dipping sauce. The loaded chicken quesadilla was pleasantly flavorful with hot consommé that came on the side. So tasty to dip your quesadilla in order to drink as a soup! The staff is so engaging and pleasant, always checking in to see if you need something extra or to pack up your leftovers. The decor is bright and makes you smile. I'm a big fan of the neon signs next to the drink refrigerator. Solid spot for Latin American food! Thank you to this fantastic restaurant.

Ordered one chicken and one beef birria taco to try. I had high expectations on birria tacos and…read morethis did not disappoint. Hands down nothing like a regular taco that I've had before. The shell seemed to be fried and they give you an amazing side of broth to dunk your taco with each bite. I asked for extra onions and cilantro....absolutely delicious.

They but another if time and effort into making this wonder business. I wish it was larger. Other customers were very rude by hoarding the chairs from other tables placing them at their table while not using them the entire time we were in the restaurant. It was hard to enjoy our food while grown adults were being rude to quiet teenagers because they did not want them to sit. The time was 11:30 pm The food was exceptional. The steak quesadilla was perfectly crisp on the outside, with tender, flavorful meat and melted cheese that made every bite indulgent. It's the kind of dish that reminds you why you love food...simple ingredients elevated with skill and pride. The only downside had nothing to do with the restaurant itself. A group of customers were hoarding chairs and behaving rudely toward teenagers who simply wanted a place to sit. It made it difficult to enjoy our meal while grown adults were pointing, laughing, and creating an uncomfortable environment. After a long day, I wasn't going to allow anyone to make my children feel unwelcome, so I spoke up. Despite that, Taco Empreso delivered an outstanding culinary experience. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all truly impressive -- a 10/10 visit, and absolutely worth the detour.

I ordered bistec tacos which come 3 to an order for $14. My wife ordered lengua tacos which are 3 for $16. We shared an order of tortilla chips with guac. Chips were fresh out of the fryer, golden brown, and still warm when we got to the waterfront. Guac was chunky, fresh and so flavorful. The two of them were a perfect combo. Bistec tacos were delicious! Steak was thinly cut, seasoned well, and grilled nicely with a tasty char to it. Homemade tortillas, onion, cilantro, a little salsa verde, and a little salsa Rojo with flash fried green onion on top made for a great lunch. My wife loved her lengua tacos. That meal along with enjoying it on the waterfront during perfect weather turned it into a wonderful afternoon!
