My hubby heard great things…read more It was "meh". They have steak but don't offer steak fajitas...... Chicken was a little over cooked, and the rice had ZERO flavor. Also- they gave me a DOLLOP of sour cream for 3 tortillas. I also agreed that if you have a business don't skimp of the important things-! STREET CORN HAS CHAR!!!!!! It should NEVER be canned corn- I mean, c'mon. But he did say it was decent. He ordered the Sunday special- and he didn't like it, at all.... He said the meat was all fat- No meat in it. And the "consommé" had zero flavor, and was oily. The best thing I ate was my daughters French fries....sadly. The margarita was ok. Not the best.... Not in a hurry to go back. But had to try it.

I have visited Tacos 4 Life a few times since they have opened and while my first visit was a bit…read moreof a miss, the other visits have been way better in terms of customer service and food. I like that this is a mother fast casual option so you can order at the counter and then they will bring the food to you when it's ready. They have a self service station for drinks (no alcohol). I wish I would have taken a picture of the tacos I ordered during my first visit, but I definitely forgot. I ordered a shrimp taco and while I was nervous that it would be small, it as actually a nice size and very filling. Was it a bit spicy? Yes. But I powered through because the flavors were good. The cilantro rice was also so good as a side and I loved the street corn, it was so creamy and delicious. My main pick when I visit now is the half southwest rice bowl with grilled chicken. It is the right portion size and has all the things I love in the rice bowl. I forgot to add avocado/guac on this last visit, but that's usually a good thing to add on top or to the side.

The menu is large with lots of selections. We got the dip trio with guacamole, salsa and queso. All decent! Could use some seasoning, salt pepper lime, but all edible and chips were good also. The staff was helpful, We both ordered two tacos and they came out fairly quickly I had chicken fajita and mahi-mahi. Both had a good sauce and seasoning. A little too much avocado on one, we love multi texture so the cabbage was better, but overall decent! I'm more of a street taco regular but these were filling and the tortillas were soft . Overall not bad and could see myself back for lunch. Close to Fresh Thyme and SLU Walked here before a presentation with my co worker.

We stuck to fish tacos since it was a Friday during lent, but they did not disappoint. The margaritas & mad dog were very good as well and I would highly recommend! I like the idea of the QR codes to order at the tables. It felt like it made the process a bit faster, but it was still a hospitable environment. Everyone was very friendly and we felt taken care of. There was a short wait on a Friday at 6pm, but it was well worth it.

I prefer the quesadillas with some of the more unique flavors, especially since the price point is very reasonable and you get a fair portion of food. Service: very good. They have QR codes at each table that you can order and pay straight from your phone, which is very convenient and the food always comes out pretty quickly. The staff here is always so nice. Ambience: the majority of the eating area is outdoors in a heated tent. It's a nice vibe and lets you feel like you're sitting outside without actually having to be outside. Parking isn't too bad here, there's a small parking lot right behind the restaurant and then there is typically ample street parking. It can get quite busy at peak times, but they have a great pick up option as well.

I decided to check with Yelp, and found this place. I am so glad I did. They had MUCH better ratings. The white small container had some kind of sweetness to it. When I inquired, they said it paired well with the chips. A quick dip of the chip, and then into the salsa...pretty darn good! I got the fajita Quesadilla, which was huge(as you can see). It was fantastic, and full of flavor! The rice was really good and wasn't (surprisingly) dried out like most places. The plate was garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream. I took half home for dinner.
