    Highly recommend! We first got a tray of chips and queso/salsa, which were really yummy, so we asked for a second tray (which was free)! The lychee margarita was strong and very tasty, and the shrimp tacos were juicy and really flavorful! I usually don't like flour tortillas but these were really good. Service was also super friendly and quick, and the place was really nicely decorated. There was also a free mechanical bull right outside the restaurant, with a bar and DJ!! I will be returning when I'm in this area again~

    I've eaten a Neon taco many many times and have always had a great experience. My husband and I decided to have our rehearsal dinner at the lakeside area and could not have been more pleased. We brought almost 50 people in our party; Damel and Josalin took care of us not missing a beat. Drinks and food came out quick and timely, even on a very busy Friday night. We had all ages in our party and everyone had a wonderful time; we got so many compliments from our guests. The lake view, music, and hospitality is unmatched at this restaurant!! THANK YOU THANK YOU NEON TACO

    We celebrated a birthday at Neon Taco on the covered patio during a rainy day and it ended up being the perfect spot for the occasion. The space had such a fun vibe (even with the weather) and it really made the celebration feel special. The staff were super responsive to our DMs on Instagram, which was so appreciated. We had a group of 40+ on a holiday weekend, and they accommodated us with ease. Service was fast all things considered, and the spicy margaritas were a hit across the board. The DJ was great as well! A few things to note: the food portions were very small for the prices, and the bill wasn't separated by person until the very end. With such a big group, it turned into a bit of a nightmare to sort everything out. Also, the space isn't wheelchair accessible, which is important to know ahead of time if that's a consideration for your group. All in all, great drinks and vibes, and a solid spot for a celebration.

    The place has a cool vibe with all the artwork and its modern aesthetic. There was music playing outside, and I didn't have to wait long to be seated with my group of six adults and two babies. The service was good; our waiter was friendly, got all our orders correct, and had a great sense of humor. Now, here are my positives and negatives about the food: Negatives: I ordered a Starry, but it was flat and lacked carbonation, so I switched to lemonade instead. Additionally, I tend to prefer larger portions, and while the burrito looked great, I felt there were very few fries served with it. Overall, my meal cost over $30 (including tip), which felt a bit steep for what I received. Positives:The food and drinks were good, and the atmosphere was fun. The service was excellent, and I would definitely consider going back. Overall, I recommend checking out this place and forming your own opinion. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the Ozarks!

    "We had the Neon Bowl with grilled chicken in a delicious lime sauce and a Patrón Tree on Friday, April 17. The food and drinks were so good that we came back the very next day for the exact same thing (and two Patrón Trees since we weren't driving!). Great lake views for boat watching, a friendly and attractive staff, and solid management that you can actually see working hard on the floor. Highly recommend!"

    All I can say is wow! I first came here a few years ago and had a very negative experience. Poor service and subpar food almost made me not want to return. However, I'm so glad I gave it another chance. They've really turned things around with a great new menu and excellent service. We got the Birria Neon Tacos, Neon Crunchy Wrap, and two Neon Burritos. Our server was fantastic, and all of the food was fairly priced and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by how good their espresso martini was too! The atmosphere right on the water really made it wonderful. I'll be back whenever I'm at the Ozarks!

    We went to neon taco for lunch on a Saturday. We were sat immediately and ordered the El Jefe margaritas and also had the Cadillac. I liked the Cadillac better. Our server was great; friendly and attentive! The vibe was fun! The food was pretty good. Guacamole was a little bland.

    Service perfect ordered full slab ribs ribs were not fall off…read moreThe bone but the perfect meat not burned or crisp just the right seasoning and texture really good love sweet sauce they had not a fan of the beans fries were good seasoning on ribs not over powering good job I read comments by owner below yes they are competition type ribs

    Well, how to describe the disappointment…read more This place seems like someone from Iowa watched YouTube videos on how to smoke meat, then bought a barn off eBay and set it up in the middle of Missouri. In a state known for barbecue - this was a huge let down. The secret is low and slow - but I don't think these folks got the message. I have had better meat made in an oven. The ribs were under-cooked, and chewy. They didn't come close to "falling off the bone". Their "rub" was thick and sweet - maybe too much brown sugar? The brisket almost tasted microwaved. It was dry on the lean side, and chewy on the fatty side. None of the tell-tale signs of smoking meat really. The sides were OK, although the "fried potato salad" is just home-fries with some sauce on them. They would have been good for breakfast though! The slaw was decent although generic - almost could have been bought from Nobel-Sysco. The green beans were a stand out, they were very good. The fried okra was nothing better than what came out of a box. The barn was really cool, and the server was very friendly. Just disappointing food.
