Finding the restaurant was a bit of an adventure! The Google maps lead me to the old location. I…read morestarted to walk into what appeared to be a bar and quickly realized this couldn't be the right place. I asked a patron if this was the taco place and he let me know they'd moved to 546 N Brush College Rd. I hopped back in my car and made my way to their new location. I walked in right as they opened so the restaurant was quiet but inviting. After a quick view of the menu I ordered two birria tacos and one al pastor, Mexican style. First bite of the birria taco brought a literal tear to my eye! I've been craving a taste of real Mexican food ever since I left California for my new life in Decatur. My only request is that the pineapple not be cooked with the meat in the al pastor tacos. Pineapple loses its sparkle when it's cooked (in my humble opinion). Otherwise, this was the taste of home I've been craving! I will definitely be back.

I went to Tacool the first few days after they opened hoping to find a new spot right in the center of campus for a quick lunch. I ordered an al pastor torta, which was about $12 after tax. After waiting a bit, I finally got my order and was satisfied, but felt that it could have been a lot more flavorful compared to other tortas at similar or cheaper prices around campus. I have yet to try other items on their menu, like their tacos or flautas which I've heard were decent by word of mouth, but my experience here was only average at best. Given the amount of similar food on campus, I'm not planning on re-visiting, but since this restaurant is also in the middle of campus I may eventually come around to it anyways. Overall, I think one would still have to try Tacool for themselves and decide.

Despite the unexpected filling it was still good but I couldn't eat all of it. My wife's quesadilla was exactly what she expected and she said it was good.

I had checked out the menu before going and knew I wanted to pick three different tacos to try and was able to do that with their undecided option. I went fried fish, Korean BBQ steak, and roasted cauliflower. I also wanted to try their street corn. Taco one: Fried fish with chipotle remoulade, pickled red cabbage, avocado. I took one of the pieces of fish off and one of the tortillas to save for later and it was perfect with a crispy fried fish, delicious pickled cabbage (I love pickled veggies!!) and the sauce. I asked for extra pickled veggies and remoulade to go to be able to dress up my leftovers with all of those amazing flavors! Taco two: Korean BBQ Steak, pickled cabbage salsa, Asian pear, and cilantro. Perfection! The steak was tender and flavorful. I've only had Asian pears in sushi rolls and it was the perfect crunch and burst of freshness on this taco. Taco three: Roasted Cauliflower. Curried cauliflower, black beans, seasonal pickled veggies, spicy tomatillo salsa, and cilantro. I'm a fan of all the different ways cauliflower is being served these days and this taco did not disappoint. The side of street corn was also delicious. I used their house hot sauce on a few bites too and that was really good. I must go now and eat my leftovers as writing this review has me salivating for more. PS I've already picked out the next three tacos I want to get!!! :-)
