    Truck
    Kayley L.

    By far my favorite food truck in the city. They actually did our wedding and went above and beyond! The service was so fast and incredible and the food is amazing!!! I can't wait for the brick and mortar to open. If you haven't tried the papas, please run to try them. The quesabirra tacos are amazing. They even have vegetarian and vegan options. They were so easy to work with! We appreciate Pilar and the whole team!

    Taco Republic is absolutely fantastic! I've actually eaten here twice (two weeks in a row) I had to come back the second time after having the Quesabirria tacos the first time. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's a pleasure coming here and you know they will take great care of you. The food is out of the world amazing! If you have been here, you have to try it. The tacos are legit packed with flavor and everything is fresh and made to order. I have not had a single thing that I was not blown away by. The Quesabirria tacos are probably my absolute favorite in Oklahoma. The consommé was clean and refreshing and a great accompaniment to the Quesabirria tacos that were served piping hot and the cheese pull was on point. The shrimp tacos were light and packed with flavor and supreme. It's hard to pick just one so come with an appetite and order lots to try everything. The beans had me a bit nervous with the hot dogs but it works and it definitely adds to the dish so don't be afraid to try them. You'll be impressed for sure!

    They had us at birria tacos! We stopped by the food truck on Britton and May and finally got a taste of what all the hoopla is about. Yes, these birria tacos hit, so do yourself a favor and indulge.

    Delicious and will be back! The guys working there were nice and patient in helping me decide what to order. It's in a parking lot on the north east corner of May and Britton, easy to get to!

    Most delicious tacos! The fresh, blue corn tortillas really put it over the top. Amazing must try.

    Shrimp, quesa-broso taco of carne asada

    Great service and the tacos are delicious! Clean environment and good menu options and authentic Mexican food.

    Pollo, steak and fish tacos.

    Dropped in yesterday to check them out. Had a shrimp and adobo taco as well as the adobo papas. You notice the difference of a blue tortilla right off the bat - someone gives a damn. I know they cost a little more but in the name of good food, they get it. The shrimp were large, the avocado on top added a nice bit of creamy texture and fat - the sauce - I believe chipotle crema was on point. The adobo had great flavor, had that lil tang you want. The onions and cilantro made it pop. And now the sequel - Today - Steak/Chicken/Fish. Again very well executed. If you are lucky enough to be around, hit this place up. I live in New England and finding great Mexican food is almost impossible. Considered hooking the trailer to the rental car but alas - no hitch. NOTE - **** - I have been there twice - both times patrons asked me if it was my first time. They wanted to tell me they come often. How often do you go to a place where others are bragging about how often they visit - some do 2-3 times a week. Hello. Do you get that? With all the choices they are coming back and back often. There is a reason. (This is the part where we wait to see if you figure it out...) Life is too short to keep eating mediocre food. Find the good stuff peeps! Stay hungry.

    Food was good. I called my order in. They said 20 min. I arrived and waited another 20 min in my car. Name used to be Taco Republic but now it's Taco Empire. Service was pleasant. Papas were very flavorful, my favorite in the city!! Slight kick and seasoned perfectly. We also got the Asada Torta was good all the ingredients were good, a little dry, I would have liked it a little toasted and some Mexican mayo. The asada burrito was good too. The salsas were different, for me the flavors didn't quite match but doesn't mean you may not enjoy it!? Overall, not bad. Give them a try! Word on the street they are going stationary, I wish her the best of luck!! I gave them 4 stars because the business card email isn't current. I had tried to email about a catering opportunity and the email kicked back. Email on website and email on the business card. I think it'd really be great if they had breakfast options!!

    Lobster quality: real Maine lobster meat, sweet and tender…read moreVariety: lobster tacos, grilled cheese, and lobster mac & cheese. Friendly staff: polite and efficient service. Price: pricey for portion size - lobster roll is a hotdog bun size. Saltiness/seasoning: everything was just bland - the lobster tasted like the butter, and the bisque tasted like it was watered down. Temperature: Waited in line for fresh, the lobster roll was warm and cold at the same time, and the bisque was watered down with no lobster chunks and cold. Pre-Packaged: The Woopied Pie was premade/prepacked and is frozen solid, it is inedible. -Lobster Roll, plus bisque, plus woopie pie was over $40 and that did not include the mandatory tip. Always wanted to try it - now I have, not returning (over-priced, bland, pre-made). UPDATE: I was able to speak with Bethanie, the Customer Relations Manager, for about 10-15 minutes to discuss my concerns. Our conversation was helpful, and it appears this was likely an isolated incident. I've agreed to visit the OKC truck the next time it's in town and will update my review afterward. Because of the professional and thoughtful customer service interaction, I'm updating my rating from one (1) star to two (2) stars. How a company handles concerns can shape how the overall experience is remembered, and it's clear Cousins Maine Lobster has passionate people behind their brand.

It didn't take long for our meal to be ready but others told us that they had waited an hour in previous visits. I had the lobster and tots, the pico was delicious and really put the dish over the top. I also had the clam chowder which was fantastic. My husband had the lobster tacos which were terrific and loaded with big pieces of meat. He chose the lobster bisque as well but sadly neither of us liked it and we definitely recommend the clam chowder.

My husband had the Korean Bowl with a salad. He really enjoyed it. It was a huge amount of food. He only ate half of it. I gave them 4 stars because of the wait time. We waited 45 minutes for our food after we ordered. There were several people there not happy with the wait time. They had come to our neighborhood so everyone gets there pretty much at the same time. Maybe when they are in a parking lot with no rush it might be faster.

I'm pretty sure the rustic appeal enhances their food, because it was delicious! The friendliness of their staff made me want to order more than originally planned. Can I say anything more positive? Yes! I got their blue and gold chicken tenders. It came with their homemade chips and potato salad. If they weren't out of the 3-bean salad, I would have gotten a side of that as well. If y'all aren't feeling any of those sides, they also offer fries (a mixture of traditional fries and sweet potato fries) or a side salad for an additional $1. Dipping sauces include ranch, honey mustard and a Korean bbq! You will eat the entire basket. Don't try to convince yourself you're not hungry. Get the regular size or the large. Leave the Jr for the kids! Pleasantly satisfying without a heavy feel that most fried food brings. If you're looking for a eating tip, I suggest using the homemade chips as a spoon with the potato salad. The combination of textures and flavors is divine! I know you're thinking, is this really a food truck or a 5 star restaurant? I'm going to say maybe both haha. Give them a shot! They will impress you in more ways than one!
