This is a (possibly Mexican themed) restaurant that serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and etc. Decently priced for what you get in return! (Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a fantastic area inside a fairly busy shopping and food center in Ruston. There are beautiful views of the water not too far from here and a lot of places for you to sit at and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The actual building that this place is in was very crowded though, so I would take my food and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a parking garage, along with a parking lot in front of the building that wasn't full at 11am, but it did fill up by 1 pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only con is that people weren't cleaning up after their pets, so watch where you step![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Service): Great, the cashier and the employee who handed me my meal were friendly enough. (Food): Street Tacos Combo (5/5)-- came with beans, rice, three tacos with your choice of meat, and a drink of your choice. Absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked barbacoa! This felt like it could feed two to three people, so of course I made it my mission to eat the whole thing in one goal. That's the only downside-- the meat is very oily and heavy, so if you're sensitive you should definitely not eat the entire thing in one sitting. Other than that it was one of the best tacos that I have had in Washington. read more

Grabbed a carnitas burrito to go last summer and enjoyed it. Nothing fancy though the meat was plentiful and the cheese added a bit of umami. Filling for its size though I missed a bit of veggies. They offer vegetarian options and also do catering. This restaurant is a stand inside the Ruston Waterfront Market, featuring an array of Mexican favorites--tacos, burritos, chilaquiles, nachos, elotes, quesadillas and churros. They also offer a variety of agua flavors--fresca, limón, melón, mango, piña, jamaica, tamarind, pepino, and horchata. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Order at the counter and eat at one of the tables in the shared eating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms are also shared with the rest of the market.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of parking outside in the lot directly outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a Friday afternoon around 2pm it wasn't very busy, maybe a handful of tables and an on-and-off stream of customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The taco meat itself could use some more marinating and seasoning but the salsa bar is AMAZING!!! Maybe I'm easy to please coming from Seattle where they nickel and dime you for everything but I was so surprised by the generous open bar of pickled onions, limes, and salsa. The avocado salsa was SOOO GOOD that I was literally taking shots of it by its own. It went SO WELL with the al pastor tacos and their combo lunch deal is a great value! This place is kind of tucked in by the market building and it is kind of difficult to get to unless you've directly parked in front of the market and not the garage for Point Ruston. I ended up getting two al pastor tacos which filled me up but the avocado salsa was so good that I wished I got more tacos so that I could spread it over everything haha. read more

Love your food but this review isn't for the food, it's for the employees who work there. Please don't placate to people who are trying to scam you for free food. You held up a line where 4 of us were going to buy burritos, drinks, the whole 9 yards but we ended up going somewhere else because you spent too much time placating a couple trying to scam you out of a burrito. Tell scammers to kick rocks so the people who actually want to give you money can order. read more

The customer service was as expected. We've been here while busy and not busy. Both times the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I didn't order tacos but I like to see the option to order single tacos on the menu. Not the best price wise but we left satisfied with the flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great seating area and have not yet had any issues finding a place to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered: Carne asada fries 4/5 Good flavors. Regular nachos 4/5 Wish there was a little more cheese. Good flavors. Has a lot of onions so I'd that's not your cup of tea you won't like it. Horchata 5/5 As expected. read more

Best street tacos in the area! We had carnitas and carne asada taco specials with rice and beans. Would definitely eat here again.

Taco Street has become a destination for us. The half hour drive is well worth it for the great food here. The California Burrito is the fav, cut in half to share because it's so damn big! The staff is always friendly and there's never a long wait for our delicious food. read more

For a fast-casual taco joint, this place is wonderful! I love that they have many different flavors of agua frescas, which rotate seasonally. The mango and watermelon are my personal favs. As vegetarians we appreciate the many taco options from potato to fresh grilled veggies plus burritos and other choices. The veggies they use in the taco are of high quality and cooked perfectly. The tortillas are delicious and grilled soft with a little crisp. Their salsa bar is soooo good. They have four different types from mild greens to super spicy reds. With other items like fresh limes, pickled veggies etc. The salsa that comes with the tortilla chips is very fresh and tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating both inside and out![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They give you a buzzer to know when your food is ready, so it's easy and convenient. It's a great place to have a quick, casual, and satisfying meal. read more

We really make it a priority to go to Taco Street whenever we are going to be in Ruston. We love the freshly made food, salsas, agua frescas, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You order at the counter and pick up your own food and find your own table but there is usually seating open inside or outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They serve beers which is nice to go with your food and their agua fresca and horchatas are so refreshing and flavorful. They have a great condiment bar and their orange salsa is my favorite ever! This food is not cheap so expect to spend $40+ on the items in the review. We recommend this place next time you're at Point Ruston! read more

Authentic and full of flavor! My friend and I were walking around Point Ruston and were debating between pizza and tacos. I am glad our stomachs led us to tacos. I ordered the combination plate of tacos al pastor with a side of rice and beans that also comes with a drink. The tacos already come with onion and cilantro (green flag). They have a great salsa bar with four salsas varying from green to red, pickled jalapeños and onions, cucumber, and limes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of indoor seating with a lot of space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were inviting and prompt with taking our order, and the food came out hot and fresh. Great tasting food for a great price. read more

This is our go-to place for Tacoma Taco Tuesday. Dining in or taking to-go are both great options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you dine in during colder months, bring a jacket. The dining area can get drafty![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have added some ceiling heaters that take the edge off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The non-alcoholic agua frescas are impressive and amazing. My favorite taco is the California- always a sucker for fresh avocado. Definitely try their salsas and pickled onion/jalapeño bar! read more

Stopped in to the Ruston Point Market and visited Taco street for lunch. It was a great lunch. We had one taco combo, carne asada tacos (4) , rice and beans. Added some chips and queso, and an al pastor taco. The chips and queso were best I have had and the tacos were delicious. The Al pastor had great flavor and the pineapple was just what I needed today. I am sure I will be back for burrito and torta next time. read more

Out of all the Mexican Food places I've been to, I am thoroughly impressed with Taco Street! We had to stand in line for a while but after eating I could see why! Their ingredients were so fresh and the salsa bar in the dining area was icing on the cake! The food menu was big enough to have options but small enough that you won't be overwhelmed with options (burritos are well worth it!). The drink menu was very authentic and had enough variety for everyone. NOTE: this menu rotates! We looked at the menus here on Yelp but some were outdated.. however the bartender was kind enough to make them anyways! If you need some quick, delicious Mexican food, Taco Street is the place to go! Plus it's close to everything in Point Ruston read more

A day later and we are still raving about this place. We have been meaning to try this place out for a while now. Finally we had the opportunity to go try this place out. We were not disappointed. They have lots of options to pick from that will not disappoint. Service was wonderful and they were super friendly. They have a large seating area and even outdoor seating for those that bring their fur babies. Tacos are not tiny and are full of the meat of your choice. The seasoning in the tacos was perfect. They have a salsa bar you can pick your extra toppings from. This spot has a lot of little shops and Point Ruston is a few steps away. This was the perfect taco spot for us! We will be back and bringing friends! We can't wait. read more

After coming from California I have been let down at every Mexican food dive I've been to up here however not today, I ended up getting the pazole it was full of flavor, the ratio was spot on. One of the chili they serve at the center bar was amazing and Cali spicy the staff are genuine and make a hell of a margarita. I'm looking forward to trying the authentic choices they provide on the menu. So if your in the area and want a taste what authentic Mexican Food is supposed to taste like dive in Taco Street read more

Waterfront Market at Ruston is a developing neighborhood. I found "Taco Street" after watching my granddaughter enjoy a sports event outside this little street market. The actual market has many crafters, a farmers market and a few food vendors. Free Parking! Public restrooms. On this particular day, only Taco Street had food for hungry visitors. (Also food related was another stall that sold only specialty oatmeal cookies.) Extra sauces and condiments can be found at a station nearby close to tables for dining. Food was good and hit the spot. read more

Taco Street - Shrimp tacos - Tacos Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Pros: 1. Great vibe inside the market. Service was friendly and accommodating. 2. The steak fries were great, I wish the fries had been crunchier but you can't have it all. The carne asada wasn't the best steak I've had, but it wasnt bad, you can tell it had been made in advanced and kept heated. My friend said the tacos were delicious so I'll take her word for it. 3. Their Elote is the closet to traditional I've had in any Tacoma tex-mex restaurant. I enjoyed the heck out of mine with a little extra lime. I had to ask for extra Tajin but other than that it was spot on. 4. The salsa bar was great! The pickled onions were a great choice of topping. I always hate when restaurants don't give me enough limes, come on its a Mexican staple, so I was pleased to see an open salsa bar offering everything I needed. Cons: 1. I asked for a mojito expecting a delicious rum drink. I instead got a mojito mix with Hornitos tequila. I managed to compose myself, but oh boy did I almost spit it out everywhere. Some of us can't do tequila so it would have been a great warning to know the mojitos are made with tequila here. On the bright side, the cashier was amazing and she remade my drink with Titos vodka, it's not exactly a mojito but it was an improvement. 2. The salsas lacked flavor or spice. The pickled jalapeños were 10x spicier than all the salsas. Huge disappointment. read more

Usually this place has great customer service. Today I asked for salsa to be put directly on my California Burrito, and was told they 'can't do that'. I then asked for a container to put some salsa in because my order was to go, told they 'can't do that' either. Got home, my burrito was carnitas not carne asada. read more

Had myself a California Burrito today at the Taco Street @ Rustin Market. This forearm sized burrito had everything you needed to fill up my tummy. I fused or should I say loaded with Steak , guacamole , pico , beans & rice and loaded with French Fires! Nice California way to enjoy finish off this loaded bad boy! The taco selection looked amazing so I'll save having those for another day. Eat local if you can! read more

My boyfriend and I went to the Point Ruston Market for the first time and was drawn to Taco Street for their bright colors, extensive taco options, and yummy looking food! I got the street taco plate that comes with 5 tacos of your choice, rice, and beans. I chose carne asada and they were delicious! He got 2 tacos-- one house special and one carne asada. House special was so juice and flavorful but the carne asada was a little dry for our liking. Luckily, there are different salsas and pickles veggies at the bar which made them perfect! For drinks, we got a horchata and a Limonada Azul. Both were SO yummy! They didn't skimp out on the tequila which made it worth my money. Woohoo! Service was quick and staff was very friendly! It cured the craving and I will definitely be back. read more

We were in the mood for tacos and after reading several reviews we headed over to Taco Street which is in Point Rustin in the Public Market area. It's in a beautiful area on the water. You can even ship local after dining. It is a walk up counter service. After looking at the menu we decided on the Tres Amigos which had a small sampling of guacamole, queso, and house made salsa. The guacamole was super fresh and delicious as was the salsa that was with it. I wish they bottled that stuff and sold it! Yummy!!!! The queso left a little to be desired. I wish it had a kick to it. Next time we will stick with the guacamole and salsa. I ordered the Taco Street Special, 4 street tacos choice of one meat served with rice & choice of beans, I chose carne asada. It was super flavorful and fresh as all get out. And for $12.50 is a great deal it includes the drink(soda). My husband ordered Quesabirria tacos and we both absolutely loved his. They were super authentic and yummy! We have had them all over Tacoma and these were the absolute best. They have a fresh salsa bar, which was really cool and extra toppings for your tacos. This place is a great find for lunch. We highly recommend it. And we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great lunch. read more

Pros - fast and friendly service, plenty of meat in the tacos (except the shrimp taco), dog-friendly outdoor seating, soft, and but sturdy tortillas. Nice location near the water. The shrimp taco was tasty; I'd order that again. Cons - The carnitas was very dry and under-seasoned. The al pastor was also dry and under-seasoned; I think that they used loin which is too lean. read more

I really didn't like the veggie tacos. For some reason they had broccoli and came with mushrooms which I had politely asked to have without. The beans are rice were phenomenal, though! The prices can be expensive if not getting a combo, so get a combo! Great amount of food for only $12! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience of inside a little market is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This spot was ok, I've had better. I ordered the Taco Street Special Combo with al pastor. The meat was a little dry and not super flavorful, but did come with real pineapple chunks. The rice was pretty bland but the beans were good. The meal is supposed to come with a drink but they didn't tell me the horchata was an extra $2. I didn't mind paying it but would've been nice to get a heads up. The horchata was sweeter and milkier than I'd like, and while you can see the spices in it, I would've liked more cinnamon too. It tasted like a cinnamon roll or the milk you get after eating cinnamon toast crunch cereal. Objectively, it's a great deal considering you get beans, rice, tacos, and a drink for $12.50 (or in my case, $14.50) My boyfriend got one shrimp taco and one barbacoa taco. He said the meat for the barbacoa was dry. I had a bite of the shrimp one and that one wasn't too bad. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. But again, the food needed more flavoring. I could taste it but it wasn't pronounced enough. The carne asada fries were probably the best in terms of flavor. A decent amount of seasoning and spiciness with lots of little squares of carne asada. It came with a looot of sour cream lol This place lacked a salsa bar and there were no hot sauces for use visible anywhere so that was disappointing (edit: after posting my review I looked through others and ok there apparently is a salsa bar. I ordered and sat on the outdoor seating side so from my POV I didn't see it. Apologies, and heads up if you also order from and eat on the outdoor seating side) Overall, my impression is this is a great place to go money-wise. It's affordable and you get a good amount of food for what you pay. Service was speedy and nice. It's pretty clean. The food was just SO bland for Mexican food! I have to disagree with other reviewers calling this the best read more

Solid lunch spot with really nice dining area and environment! I ordered three tacos: a Socal taco (carne asada with guacamole and cheese), a barbacoa taco (their house special), and a shrimp taco. The shrimp taco came with mushrooms, which I had never seen before as a combination? There was a good amount of shrimp and they were cooked very well. However, I thought this taco was the least flavorful of the three, so I accompanied it with lots of salsa from the salsa bar. The Socal taco was probably my favorite of the 3, the guacamole was nice and carne asada was flavorful. The asada was a bit dry which is why the guacamole helped a lot. Far from the best asada I've had but not bad! I typically don't order barbacoa but decided to try it as it was their specialty. The first bite was really juicy and great, but I just don't think barbacoa is my favorite protein. I also got a mango agua fresca which was very refreshing! They had a lot of different options for beverages and I wish I could have tried a few. Also had a cool salsa bar which was well-organized and has everything you could want or need. As a California native, I feel like this would probably just be an average taco spot in CA because of the price, slightly dry protein, and lack of free chips, but if you're in the area and craving tacos, I'd recommend stopping by! read more
