There's something really fantastic about going back to an eatery you enjoyed years before and finding out that it hasn't changed a bit. That's how I felt when I ate again at Taco City this past Sunday. It's not a fancy place and by no means is it authentic (although the names of the items on the menu probably are) but I enjoyed a very satisfying meal here after a wonderful afternoon with friends at the beach. They still do the free chips and salsa. The staff was still super nice and courteous, and that Hombre burrito still hit the spot! I got to try dessert here too on this last visit, we all shared a basket of benuelos, so simple, but really good! read more

Great old Tex-Mex restaurant. Not your typical Mexican place but the place is historic and has local roots. Great service and good eats. Definitely recommend for something different and local. Only 4 stars because they don't have a full liquor bar. read more

Food is just ok. Ambiance is good beach vibe. I still prefer other Mexican spots in the area.

Food was okay, not the typical Mexican food you will like to eat at a Mexican restaurant, but more americanized; the service was good and the ambience was nice. read more

For $2 taco Tuesdays these tacos are incredible! I was expecting just an average taco but wow these were way better than average and for the price it's all the better! Atmosphere is light hearted and nice! And service was great very kind staff! read more

Taco city was ok. The ambiance in the restaurant was fun and energetic, but the actual food wasn't too good. I ordered two hard shell tacos, but they give me two soggy shell tacos that were honestly mediocre. We also ordered a tostada, but there wasn't a tortilla for some reason. Also, they forgot some of our order when we ordered in, so the service was ok but not that good. The dessert was great at least. If you are planning on eating here, eat at the restaurant and don't order in. read more

I walked into Taco City and was immediately disappointed! I was expecting to see a city with little houses and cars made out of tortilla chips with a river of beef and cheese. You know an actually Taco City. Taco City has been serving tacos and burritos in this same location for like 30 years. So that has to mean they are pretty great? Well, the food came out looking great and didn't taste all that bad. Not authentic Mexican food but it was pretty great. I would definitely suggest this places. It's like chillin Bro food version of a burrito. I was happy with my meal but was surprised to have finished my entire meal. Usually, you would have leftovers. But whatever, I will come here again. read more

If you are in the mood for delicious Mexican food then head to Taco City! There's something for everyone, including vegans! Place your order at the counter before sitting down. If you are really hungry order The Big 7 (comes on multiple plates). A taco, beans, rice, chili rellano, and an enchilada. The Chiquita is also delish! read more

This is a must stop EAT place ... we were staying at a beach condo near Taco City in March 2021 & ate both at the restaurant and had take out! Restaurant is covid cleaned & everyone where's a mask ... the prices are right & food is super fresh! They have outside seating ... plus both bar & table seating! We were glad to have dropped in early for our lunch because they certainly draw a great lunch crowd! They will customize your fish tacos just how you prefer and they are excellent - the guacamole is really one of the best we've ever had! Tacos & cold beer ... add the beach & it's heaven on earth for us! read more

It has been a while since I had visited taco city but boy what a difference. I ordered two taco platters, app guacamole, 1 pork belly taco, and two sodas. The tacos had absolutely zero flavor. The beef was completely bland and the shells tasted stale. The beans and rice were just ok. The guacamole seemed to be made up of just onions and avacado. No chilis, cilantro, salt, lime juice, nothing that would give it any flavor at all. Tasteless! The pork belly taco had very little pork belly in it. Really was a soft taco with light pork and lettuce. The sauce was tasty but a weak taco all around. Big disappointment from a place I have been going to since the 89s when I was a boy. read more

Taco City - Sad pork belly taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Owner is super friendly and the place is super cute!!!!! The food is ok. Kinda reminds me of like a Tex-mex place. Definitely not authentic Mexican food. But it was interesting! Great location, cold beer, filling food and super friendly people! read more

Great food served fast. Staff and service was great. Ambiance was quaint and clean and fun.

When I was planning a weekend trip to Cocoa, having lunch at a Mexican restaurant wasn't really high on my list of things I wanted to do. But after a friend raved about it, I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did! I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were lightly blackened and pan-seared. Even though I love seafood tacos, if they're not done right, they can be watery and just fall apart. Thankfully I didn't experience that at all at Taco City. The shrimp were large and tender and melt-in-your mouth delicious. I got them topped with their jalapeño ranch sauce -- so good! The friendly employees also made for a great first-time experience. They were eager to answer questions and brought out different salsas for me and my companions to try. I'm looking forward to returning soon! read more

We did a quick stop before going to the beach. We ordered Ala Cart. Mahi& Shrimp tacos were FANTASTIC! Both were Blackened were so tasty! Sit down and the order at the register. Service staff was great ( best wishes to her soon to come baby) read more

Small place but has outdoor seating area. Looks like they have many regular customers. They are soooo nice people! Their service is amazing! Very helpful and great hospitality. We ordered Hombre and Shrimp Quesadilla for to go. They gave us cup of waters and corn chips and salsa while we were waiting. My Hombre was huge and delicious, I just ate half that day and had other half for next day lunch. My husband liked his Shrimp Quesadilla. Their spiciest salsa is not spicy at all, but tasty. read more

5 of us went here with a local friend and 4 of us came out with the most upset and painful stomach possible. The taco meat was good but they drown their tacos in an ungodly amount of lettuce. It's weird that we have to go up to the bar to order considering they still deliver food and refilled our drinks. Don't want to come back at all. read more

Great service, great crunchy shrimp tacos with jalapeño ranch sauce, and the homemade funnel fries with spicy honey were a great finish! I definitely recommend this place, and we will be back! read more

Great spot for a quick meal. Love the raggae music. The best food around and lots of it. Finally, really clean bathrooms.

I returned to Taco City in 2021 expecting the same great food and experience as before with the owners that were there in 2009 and the newer owners in 2017-2019... It no longer exists. It looks similar, but the Side of "C" Queso came in a Styrofoam cup, and was not edible... as in it was expired and sour already... The bartender / worker handed us plates which he said were "extremely hot" only to be COLD with cold RICE and COLD BEANS, and soggy Taco's that were not crisp and already broken... It is obvious that either (1) ownership has changed, and/or (2) cost cutting measures have ruined this place. The days of Simon and Daniel are over, and The Taco Elvis has left the building... This place is now a piece of crap in my opinion, and the food was inedible... There are all kinds of beers to be had, but none of them are ICE cold like they used to be even out of the tap... :( Do not visit here, it is not worth it, on the downhill slope... It was so bad it wasn't even worth arguing with anyone about it... read more

Amazing Taco Tuesday. Best salsa I've ever had from any restaurant! Fajita Friday is also a fav! I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Mexican food! read more

Very good food and the staff was super friendly! Very cool ambience. Would recommend a visit to Taco City if you are in the area.

Wonderful place to stop for dinner. Staff is very friendly the food is fresh made. Two tacos plate is more than generous. Staff members stop by several times to make sure all is good. After dinner they have direct access for a walk on a beautiful beach. read more

GOOD: The beef tacos are very good. In fact some of the best that I've had in the area. BAD: The attitude of the servers leaves a little bit to be desired. On a prior visit, we walked up to the counter to order, the entire place was empty and the server kept asking where we were going to sit instead of focusing on the accuracy of our order. It was kinda weird. UGLY: Don't waste your money on the house margaritas. They are horrible. Also they ran out of register paper so the server literally wrote a number on a piece of paper and said "her is your tab." read more

Food is good. So why only 3 stars..?? The rice had a nice toothy quality but it had zero flavor. We added salsa and it was better. The beans were completely forgettable. The shrimp taco was well seasoned and tasted great, as were the fish tacos. The avocado aioli was bomb! Could have eaten it off an old shoe. The jalapeño ranch was so incredibly salty it wasn't edible. Overall good tacos, the rest just meh. read more

Smh smh smh. Let's start with the good. They give you a good serving amount I can say that. Sweet tea was okay, bus boy was extremely nice (he needs a raise). My boyfriend and I walked in and we were greeted, clearly we didn't know how things worked so we sat down in the entrance. 4 minutes later, the girl with red hair asked if we had ever been there and proceeded to tell us how things worked when we said no. The atmosphere was so bland, like the tacos. Nobody was friendly or social (just the bus boy), which leads me to this too, they want you to follow their Facebook page and STAY SOCIAL ... the irony. I do not want to follow a business on social media who's restaurant is NOT social one bit.. You literally cannot have taste buds if you eat here lol. There was absolutely no taste to these tacos. You can taste the grease from the meat, and the greasy hard shell tacos. I had 1 hard two soft and only finished 1 taco ... let's not forget, I live in Orlando and my boyfriend rockledge, so we drove 35 minutes here for bland, tasteless, unseasoned tacos.... And they have a food truck too, which is pretty cool but means nothin when the food is as tasteless as it was. Nothing authentic about these tacos. Nothing like Ocoee Taco Company or El Charro. Oh, and to make matters worse a group of 6 (Caucasion) sat next to us and one of them was very loud, making very inappropriate racist remarks about his friend being a WIGGER and doing GHETTO & THUGGISH THINGS!!! Mind you I'm half black and Spanish and my boyfriend is black, so hearing this so openly at this restaurant made us very very uneasy. We left as soon as he finished his little remarks. So sad because I love tacos with my whole heart lol but if you are reading this, DON'T DO IT, if you are there already GET OUT!!!!! read more

Taco City - Pretty good serving of food, but it means nothing when the food taste so bland!!!!!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

We come from AZ and we are used to Mexican food, and let me tell you this restaurant does not disappoint! Let's begin by the customer service, we felt at home everyone was so nice and you could feel it was genuine... Second, the food was really good! And finally the restaurant itself it's extremely cute and the patio area is very spacious, will be coming back for sure!!! read more

This place makes you feel like it used to be a food truck, and I think it did! The food is excellent. It's high-quality and it's very fresh. It's also not expensive. I would not miss this place if I were at this end of town. It is just fantastic. And the service is phenomenal. Their workers are happy and they will genuinely do whatever it takes to make you happy. read more

Just a great place in general great tacos and great atmosphere! The employees were great and warned us if the plate is hot and asks if we need anything else, just AMAZING! read more

Food is delicious. Atmosphere is beach friendly and service is always helpful and attentive.

Best around cant beat the Chicken hard shell tacos and pork hard shell as well deff recommend stopping in

$2 tacos and $2 drafts on Tuesdays....need I say more?? The tacos were loaded with meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. I really enjoyed the hard shell tacos but the soft were good too. We went twice on taco Tuesday and then on a Wednesday. The regular prices were comparable also. I got the Chings or Chongs. Tons on food and delicious. We got the fried cheesecake and the pastry strips .. I can't remember what's they are called. Everything was great and people there were very friendly. read more

Do Not Waste Your Hard Earned Dollar Here. I can even cook better than here... just go to Taco Bell! Terrible!

This place serves decent tex-mex food in a no-frills atmosphere. When we walked in we were greeted by e cashier who asked if we'd been here before. We said no, so the offered to answer any questions for us and gave us complimentary chips and salsa, told us to take a seat, and look over the menu and come back up when we were ready to place our order. The chips and salsa were pretty standard and so was the menu; typical tacos and burritos and a few "signature" items. You can make your food Nirana-style for 99 cents more which means you add onions and jalapeños on top. I got the Macho (nirvana style) and the rest of my guests opted for an order of nachos, a kids meal, and the Hombre. Within a few minutes, a server was at our table delivering our food. It was hot and well-prepared. Portions were generous. My meal could have benefited for a little more sauce or seasoning--and everybody else at my table felt the same way about their orders too. If you need anything extra, you have to get back into the cashier line to ask for it which is kind of a pain, especially if you're having a beer or margarita. It was a good experience, but just felt a few things were left to be desired. As we were dining (we arrived right at 5pm on the dot) crowds kept coming in and within a few minutes the place was packed. If you plan on coming here, maybe arrive early or be prepared for a Plan B (i.e. Carry Out) because there isn't a ton of space and the place fills up fast. read more

Used to love this place. They are not handling their success well. You basically stand in a long line, get barked out while you order and them have to beg borrow and steal for a seat. We also ordered mahi tacos and were given shrimp tacos. Corn tortillas crumble. Kind of sad that this use to be a great place and now it's a busy transaction. read more

Woman behind counter w/ no mask taking orders and interaction w/ way too many people,up close is way past where I draw the line. In the past few weeks they have become lazy w/ mask wearing. Great food but I can't risk it any more. They need to make a statement as to what they are doing to help slow the spread. read more

We stopped here for a quick bite on the way back from the beach on recommendation from my cousin who is a local. Three of us literally ordered three waters, my daughter only twi beer tacos, my cousin one taco with refried beans and I ordered only a shrimp taco. It took 50 minutes to get our order!! We had to ask twice about the status. No one came over to tell us anything. A gentleman who looked like some kind of manager literally told me it was during a shift change. Who says that to a customer who at that point is telling you that it's been 30 minutes (at that point) and without offering some compensation?!? I know it's a casual place but the entire staff could have cared less that we were sitting there with water and chips for over 30 minutes. The tacos were subpar. Shredded head lettuce was the garnish. With so many beach places and ones nearby that are very good it's a shame that they cared so little. We have a summer home and will not be back. We were there an hour and 15 minutes for water, tacos and chips. read more

Taco Tuesday is busy! be ready to order !!! The fish tacos are the best!! Love this place any day of the week. The staff was super nice, looking forward to coming back! read more

It took 35 minutes to make two orders of nachos and the restaurant was not full. My wife's grandfather said, "The service is so bad here I missed my birthday!" read more

Everyone said the same thing this is great food. You have to at the counter that's what gives it its local charm. Cool place. read more
