I wish this time I had gotten two chicken because they were so good! The beef was good too, but they are more My Husband's flavor style than mine. Nothing at all wrong with them just personal preference. The meats were good quality, and the beans and rice were good too. Mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy battered on the outside with soft gooey cheese inside just like you want from good mozzarella sticks My friend ordered the nachos and let me tell you that plate was stacked. Huge plate of nachos! The place was clean, service was friendly and overall we were just really impressed with everything. Even end of the night food was still served fast, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here. Their menu has a gigantic variety so I can almost guarantee you'll find something for everyone!

Tucker's Grill & Taqueria - Friends found this jewel and we were so happy. Great prices, large portions, and a wonderful staff. We will definitely be back.

The cost of the food was very reasonable and I love that they had kids meals (with chicken nuggets) for my picky 3 year old who hates to try new things. While the food was good, nothing was exceptionally great.... They had all the basic foods that you can get at any Mexican restaurant; nothing signature that makes this restaurant stand out among the rest. But the price and convenience make this a restaurant that I would probably visit again.

I spoke in Spanish to the lady behind the counter, but I'm pretty sure she'll speak English if needed. I ordered gorditas with lengua and barbacoa. I wasn't sure about the rice and beans because I sometimes find them too salty. These were just right. I could only eat one gordita and took the other one home, but I should have known, they don't travel well - are best eaten fresh. I just used my fork. My son ordered flautas and they looked SO good! The staff was very pleasant. They bring your meals out to you. I went back after eating and stood in another line(!) for tortillas and chips to take home. I understand the lines - they have fridges along the wall full of all kids of great foods and sauces to take home! The restaurant was VERY clean and the noise level low.
