Definitely worthy of five stars. My wife saw a recommendation on Nextdoor so we headed over for lunch. Moderately crowded at nearly 1pm by we were seat immediately. Drink came equally as fast and since it was our first time we opted to read the entire menu, twice. We both settled on their rapid lunch and rapid it was. My wife had a margarita only to find it was happy hour 2 for 1 special time. Two thumbs up on the margarita she determined. Both of our lunches were too big to finish so a late night snack may be in the offing. Very pleasant people, not overly loud and the food was excellent. It may be our first but it will not be our last time. read more

10/10 experience from the moment we walked in the door to when we left. My party of 3 came in on a busy Friday night around 730 and they were packed, but the owner/manager greeted us and got us a seat right away. Food was great, we ordered the carnitas and al pastor street tacos (bomb) and flautas for my son. We all enjoyed the meal but the service was what was really above and beyond. Their attention to detail and making sure we had what we needed was very appreciated, and every single person was so friendly, you could tell that they cared about their customers. When we got up to leave the owner shook my husband's hand and even thanked us for coming in. We will absolutely be back. !Órale¡ read more

This place is so good and has become one of our go tos... Everyone is so kind and food is always hot and fresh!

We've been to Taco Boy a few times, most recently last week. The food was great, and the bartender was constantly asking if there was anything he could do for us, even though the place was packed and he was very busy. There are several nice televisions, and they play American sports, not just soccer games like some Mexican restaurants. read more

One of my coworkers ask if I wanted a taco and I ask what else they have,well they got it all. We ordered to go and it was great. The portion size is large and full of flavor. I had the cheese steak burrito and my coworker had the hard shell tacos. The taco's were packed with meat and all the normal toppings. My burritos were smothered in melted cheese and were great. My coworker said the staff was great and that the building is clean and in good condition. read more

Very good Mexican food tasted authentic to me. Great attentive service as well. We were pleasantly surprised!

Taco Boy is the best Mexican food we've had in the area, and solid everytime. Carnitas, taco salads, nachos, cheese dip, it's all great.

Always find restaurants on Yelp when traveling. Read the reviews and decided to give Taco Boy a try for Taco Tuesday. The food did not disappoint, the salsa was tasty, chips were crispy and flavorful. The service was great, staff attentive, bringing out more chips. salsa and refilling drinks. The atmosphere is very festive, but be ready for it to be noisy as it was when we were there. Taco Boy is bookmarked for when we travel this way again. Chicken Fajita salad yum! read more

Food was great. I had the Carne Asada. It came with chorizo on top and was perfectly flavored. It was so hot I had to stare at it for 5 minutes just to eat it. Prices were very good for drinks and food. Highly recommended for family gatherings and just a quick meal and drink at the bar. read more

Service is good but I would rate the food 3. We 3 side dishes, a guacamole for the chips, and a drink. All mediocre. The pricing is okay for what you get. read more

As visitors from Michigan I rely on Yelp to scout out great restaurants. I was able to find Taco Boy and was thrilled to have such amazing food since we'd been eating alot of fast food on our trip. Two of us ordered the steak, chicken, shrimp fajitas and two ordered chicken tacos. Everything was fresh and nicely packaged for carryout. If you're a guacamole connossieur, you must order it. This place makes guacamole as close to my own recipe that I've ever found. Amazing for a restaurant. Very fresh too. Chips were fresh and crisp. We had fajita leftovers which were enough for two more meals. My nephew is a big eater and he couldn't even finish his fajita dinner. There was a LOT in one order. Useful tip - ask for extra tortillas. We could have used 2 more each. Definitely coming back again! read more

Pretty standard for these "pop up" Mexican restaurants you see just about anywhere. Friendly staff. The food is either bland (chimichanga with boiled shredded chicken only, deep fried, then drowned in cheese sauce) or over-seasoned, and beyond edible (chicken strips overcooked and drowned in a chipotle powder seasoning packet and served on a tortilla). First visit and figured since you're a Mexican restaurant, you should be able to get a Chimi and Tacos right with zero effort. The rice and beans are what you find at every other restaurant and likely come from a can? The salsa is better than usual, with more chunks of onions, peppers etc, and a little extra kick. Their "pepper" condiment they served with the dishes had tons of flavor and heat. read more

Yum! That could be a complete review but I will expand. The chips are delicious. The salsa is yummy!!! I would say their salsa is their weakest link - but that is not a bad thing. Their carne asada is our go to! It is enough for two. The flavor is very west coast!!! More of a California Mexican food flavor profile in lieu of Tex-Mex. read more

If you're looking for some tex mex bull that's slathered in queso and has a side of sour cream to extinguish the mild heat on your snowflake pallet; THIS ISNT THE PLACE. However, if you want food that Abuella slaved away for days to prepare and cook, that may or may not have you asking the good Lord for forgiveness from the spice and amazing flavor, that you had to ride a donkey for hours to get to; then WELCOME. Authentic AF! Street tacos are fire! The salsa is made in house. Everything is fresh and full of flavor and passion. Service was friendly and the music and decor gives it a great authentic feel. Will be back! A LOT! read more

Food was good, great selection. Service was fast and friendly. It has a sports bar type of atmosphere. Family friendly

We found this place on our way home. The menu was big with plenty of options. I got the chicken soup that is full of flavor and a load of chicken breast. I took about half home as I got so full. My husband got the carnitas that he said was a 9/10. The service was outstanding! read more

Taco Boy is a pretty solid Mexican restaurant. Typical fare -- burritos, tacos (of course), and chips/salsa. I had two street tacos -- steak and chicken. My wife had the chicken soup. We also had an order of guacamole. I'd rate everything as good. The guac was above average and definitely tasted freshly made. That's a good test because some places use the prepackaged stuff and it isn't nearly as good. Tacos were authentic and came with topping like cilantro, onions, and hot salsa. The chicken soup was also above average -- lots of chicken, avocado, rice. I would definitely go back and was happy with everything. Is it unique compared to what you'd see around town -- not especially. But, I would say it's a good choice for Mexican food and worth a try. read more

I'm from Cali and have been searching for some good Mexican food. I found it!!!! I'm so happy!!

Service is incredible, food is amazing, margaritas are even better.. Been coming for years and the experience is better every time. The whole staff team is so kind and caring and are always grabbing empty plates and glasses off the table and offering refills and whatever you need. Couldn't recommend a better place to dine. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon on our way home from Atlanta to Detroit. The service and food were both great. Gabriel was our waiter and he was friendly and helpful. We had a mistake with our order and he had it promptly correctly. The salsa is delicious; chunks of tomato, onion and cilantro with just the right amount of heat. Chips were warm out of the oven. I had the fajita shrimp salad and it was loaded with shrimp. It's not huge but was plenty. My boyfriend had nachos supreme that were delicious. They were very flavorful. His son who is picky and doesn't eat much ordered cheese nachos and rice. He ate it all. He said they were the best nachos ever. They had plenty of queso and Mexican cheese on top and were broiled to perfection. We only had water so nothing to say about drinks. read more

absolutely the worst steak burrito I have ever had. every piece of "steak " had gristle through out, even though it was cut very thin. Additionally the order was incorrect. The staff was pleasant. read more

The food is delicious with generous portions. We had a top shelf margarita and a spicy one. Again with the generous portions. The wait staff are super friendly. The place itself is small but nice enough for a strip mall by the interstate. It feels like a neighborhood hangout kind of place. read more

Taco Boy is an awesome family Mexican restaurant in Farragut. Moving here from Southern California I was missing street tacos. I was so happy to find Taco Boy! They are a little slice of Mexico here in East TN. Their food is delicious. Their service is fast and everything is fresh. read more

The best mexican food I've found in west Knoxville so far. Coming from Southern California, the bar is high and this place doesn't disappoint. We got street tacos, enchiladas and sopes. They hand made the sopes! The asada is tender and flavorful, the carnitas is juicy and is seared to have a crunch to it (like they make it in San Diego). Guacamole is actually made fresh and doesn't have fillers. Portions are pretty good too - we didn't finish everything. read more

Great food, fun and easy environment. The wait staff is so friendly, always welcoming us with open arms!

I hate to give bad reviews when the service was good, but the food was just not good. They were friendly and prompt which was great. However, I ordered the sampler platter which came with a quesadilla, two steak flautas and 6 hot wings along with pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. The fried food was clearly left in the frying for way too long and the fryer oil must have been old because my food smelled like rancid oil. The guacamole was wet and runny, but the sour cream pica and quesadilla were good. I also enjoyed the chips and salsa and they were quick to ask if we needed more. They should have never served my food. I can't imagine they couldn't tell there was clearly an issue with it being cooked to death and smelly. If you look at the picture it's clear at least that the Flautas are way overdone. The wings look ok, but they were just as bad. Both items were hard and nearly inedible. read more

This is actually one of the few places I enjoy going to because of great food and even better service. The team is nice and friendly and greet you right as you enter and seat you immediately. They've got excellent beans and rice, carnitas, chili verde, and beef cheek. The carnitas and beef cheek in tacos are delicious. Only downside is the corn tortillas tend to be a bit dry and too thick. read more
