    Extraordinary Service Makes Taco Ocho Shine! You know a place is special when the people behind the counter make your day, and that's exactly what you'll find at Taco Ocho. I'm often there for breakfast / deliveries, and I've consistently been impressed by who I believe is the manager. She embody what a great "face of the company" should be: so kind, always smiling, and just radiating happiness. Their commitment to extraordinary customer service makes every single interaction a truly pleasant one. It's rare to find such consistent warmth and genuine friendliness, and it really elevates the whole experience. Come for the tacos, stay for the amazing people!

    The entrance to vegan taco heaven

    Adriana was my hostess and server and she made the experience extra great. She was quick and she suggested the green salsa which I'm now recommending to whoever is reading this. This is a nice, casual spot that would be good for a group or solo, like me today. They've got solid AC in here for those hot, summer days. The food was good! Let me just start with a big, Thank you for being so vegan friendly!!! There were more than half a dozen vegan choices. Creative menu items too, not just tacos although the tacos alone are worth stopping for. Very pleased with the meal and the experience here.

    Great vegan tacos! The portions are very Texas " Go big or go home" the service was great and enjoyed a great evening.

    It's been five years since I first came here and a little disappointed in the restaurant now. I ordered the 2 taco special of shrimp and brisket which were good. Like every restaurant now it was a bit expensive and the waitress really had no clue what was on the menu including if the margaritas could be ordered frozen or on the rocks. Not bad but also not great for the $$ you spend for what you get.

    Brisket Tacos on a Two Taco Plate
    Mahauganee S.

    Okay so oddly enough, this was my second time here on a whim in a city I don't live anywhere near. Last summer, we visited Dallas on family vacay and navigated to First Watch (our go to breakfast spot). When we pulled up and I realized there was a Mexican restaurant in the same parking lot where I could get a breakfast I would prefer, I made a bee line to Taco Ocho and told my family to eat whatever they wanted! Today, me and hubby are back in town on a quick trip to celebrate a friend who lives locally. Per the usual, we set the GPS to the nearest First Watch in route to the airport. When we pulled in and I saw Taco Ocho, I told him "look! We're back at the same one. Never mind our first plan, let's eat tacos!!" As with our first experience, we were greeted warmly and able to have our choice of seats. The food came fast and fresh. The service was mostly attentive. So here's what we had: Hubby ate two brisket tacos on a two taco breakfast plate (making it a plate adds the rice and beans). He was careful to order it with no cheese or sour cream. Our server repeated that back to him as "no dairy, got it!" ...then his plate came with cheese on the tacos and the beans. Since he's not allergic, he decided not to send it back. He is, however allergic to avocado and didn't notice it came on top of the brisket tacos. Since they were sizeable slices, he picked them off (placing them on my plate because I love avocado) and scraped off any little bits left behind. He then announced to me "I guess we're about to see how allergic I really am!" before biting in. [Spoiler alert: he had no reaction ] He said the brisket was tender but needed more seasoning; the rice was flavorful but maybe too salty; and the beans were good (what little he ate, eating around the cheese). I had a Matador (Brisket Breakfast Taco), a Polanco (breakfast taco), and a tostado. Tacos were both good but needed salt, so I added some of hubby's rice and that dressed them right up! I ended up not eating my tostado, realizing after biting in that the flavors were ones I didn't want at breakfast. The chips and salsa were perfect! Chips was well salted, which I like. I'd clearly come here again.

    OK, its been too long but we did get back. Meeting in area so very good excuse to stop here for lunch beforehand. See photos of food and interior.

    Everything is great. Fish taco's are really good! The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star is because it's a little expensive.

We were seated shortly after arriving. However, the table was poorly cleaned and used napkins was on the floor beneath the table seating area. I asked the hostess to have the area cleaned so that my family and I can sit down and enjoy our meal. We ordered corned beef hash skillet with pancakes, south border skillet, biscuits gravy with eggs and pancakes. The corned beef hash skillet gets a high mark. The south border skillet was average. The biscuits gravy with eggs and pancakes were cold and it gets a low mark. If we decide to eat at Honey Berry in the future, it will be the Frankford Rd location.

Our server had a scowl on her face from the moment she came to the table. (Long dark ponytail) It was 12:30pm & it was not busy (breakfast rush was over.) We had to get up three times to ask for things, our toast & pancakes, napkins, coffee. The three servers working were standing at the front counter talking away with each other our server, at one point, was talking on her cell phone. The food quality has gone down in recent months. Eggs were nice & hot, hash browns were cold, bacon had been good in the past, but our past two visits the bacon has tasted burnt & it has an odd flavor. Toast was over cooked, not buttered, it was not edible. The last time our coffee was refilled was by a man that looked like he had just come out of the kitchen. He was very nice & we were grateful that our coffee was being refilled without having to get up and ask for it. The servers were still lolly gagging behind the counter while the gentleman was refilling our coffee. I have worked in the restaurant business from being a server & also in management. I am very understanding of all angles of what is going on in a restaurant setting. The service on Saturday was the worst service I have ever experienced. Rude & unapologetic, it was as if we were inconveniencing her. We will not be returning.

The only two things I remembered from this place was that the food was salty, my husband also commented that on his food--and he likes salt! Second, with my daughter and her many food allergies, we decided to go with plain chicken wings. They mentioned the seasoning was just salt and pepper. My daughter mentioned it being spicy so I tasted it and yes there was seasoning other than salt and pepper. I was very annoyed because she's allergic to gluten and some seasonings contain gluten. I notified the waiter and assumed we were getting a new order. BIG NOPE! What they did was RINSE the chicken and reheated it. How do I know this? Prior to sending it back, I cut a flat of the chicken wings in half for my daughter. When we got the "new" wings, the cut up flat was still on the plate. I was so shocked. Never seen that in a restaurant. At this point, we were all pretty much done with our meals and a storm was brewing so we just wanted to get out of there. I will not come back.

Our appetizer arrived lukewarm and was served at the same time as our main dishes, despite being ordered with drinks. The waitstaff seemed to neglect checking in on us; our coffee carafe was empty for quite some time, as were our water glasses. To make matters worse, our plates were not cleared after we finished eating, which only added to the feeling of being forgotten. I ordered the Trifecta with a carrot cake pancake, expecting something special, but it turned out to be just a basic pancake with carrots, raisins, and nuts added. It lacked the unique flavors and creativity I had hoped for, making it not worth the trip or the money. To top it off, the table across from us sent back an order. As one partner finished eating, the other's new dish arrived. This just added to the sense of disorganization in the restaurant. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning to this First Watch location anytime soon. There are plenty of other brunch spots that offer better service and more memorable meals.
