    Cool little place, the style of the restaurant and outside is inviting. The service for first time being there was good all around, food came out hot and fresh. The salsa has a good flavor, odd to have it in a hot form and the guacamole is made with mangos. May not be the case, but the salsa that came with the chips was mild and the one that came with the entrees was a little more spicy.

    Another fantastic visit to our favorite tacos stop. The menu has been updated since we were here in spring . The food is still amazing but I saw new bowls and taco salad . No more yuca fries though . Everything always top notch.

    The jackfruit tacos are my go to but this review is about the blue salsa in that little container on the left! WOW! This has a KICK and shocked me today!!! It is so good!!!! I have some leftover that I will be dipping my tortilla chips in. YUM!!!

    Chicken Nachos

    What do you say when its all good! First please support this local restaurant especially in the Ice House/Railyard area! So many great restaurants have come and gone! This one is no different! You wont be disappointed, it is very good. This was the first time we had been there, it was fresh, the tacos were unique and quite tasty. The nachos were so filling, with queso and grated cheese, lots of chicken and al the fixins. Only reason its only 4 stars was the service. We were the only customers in there and the service was not good. I had to ask for our chips and dips after our entrees were ready. It took for ever to get our beverages and forget about refills. I hope it was just a bad night and they were wanting to close. We will give the service another try because the food was worth it!

    Chips and salsa

    OK let me start off by saying my mouth is on FIRE!! But definitely in a good way. I ordered the Nashville Hot chicken taco with a side of the blueberry habanero salsa. OMG sooo good. It's not for wimps though so don't even try it if you can't handle heat. Next in line was the jerk chicken taco with pineapple salsa. I liked it but felt I needed a lil more of a kick. I think if they just add a very small amount of salt to the salsa, it would take it over the top. That first taco is gonna be difficult to beat. Next up, Bbq jackfruit taco. This taco is yummy yummy. This could easily be my go to taco if I lived near by. The bbq jackfruit has a great bbq flavor without being overbearing. I saw online that people ordered it without the broccoli slaw. They're really missing out. It definitely elevates it but can definitely stand on its own. The chips and salsa are great as well. Not that store bought stuff. Homemade chips with a warm tomato salsa that's got the right amount of heat. Oh and the Mango Hibiscus Lemonade was good too. I wanted a lil more tartness from the lemon but overall it was good. I'm only in town till next Thursday but I'm sure I'll make another appearance at The Fried Taco before I leave. Those guys/gals know what they're doing!!!

    A great addition to the area! And the fact that they have a "yard" area for your kids ...YES! Amazing! The kiddos are able to stretch their legs a little( in a safe space ) while the family enjoys their food. Everything was really good but lacked a little bit in the flavor department. The carne asada fries were great! But the feature of the dish - the carne asada - was just salty and lacking in the colorful spices I was expecting for carne asada. The empanadas were the table favorite! The bread was super flaky and crispy while the meat/filling inside remained perfectly moist. The beef and carne asada empanadas were both hits! Especially with the creamy dill dipping sauce. Pro tip: ask for the spicy ketchup/Mayo dip for your empanadas too! The margaritas were so refreshing. Then adding the tajin rim *YUM*. Thankful for super friendly and helpful staff at this place as well!! We will be back for sure!

    I loved this place from the first time I stopped in and I continue to love it each time!! They specialize in fried taco shells, but they have much more than that! Start by ordering their coconut Lavender lemonade. It's addicting! They even sell it by the gallon. Their yucca fries are a must as well. Their menu has plenty of options, something for everyone. I always order the brisket taco (purple Sriracha slaw, Cheddar cheese and white BBQ sauce) and the pork (potato bits). Each with tender meat and always fill me up! They also have chips and salsa, empanadas, and dessert.

    Pretty pricey but the taste was there. Not sure about the venue. Odd set up and bad location.

    I came here with my whole family to grab some late lunch. I was very happy that they had seating so…read morewe could push some tables together to accommodate all of us. I ordered the Grande Burrito with no beans (not a fan), a small Hillbilly Queso, and a drink. The Hillbilly Queso is delicious! It's kind of a loaded queso and I could eat an entire giant bowl of it. The chips are thin, but crunchy enough to hold the queso and make each bite satisfying. I got a Cherry Coke (self serve) and it was well carbonated and delicious. I rarely see Cherry Coke on a fountain, so that was a treat! Now onto the Grande Burrito...it was mid at best. When I bit into it, I was confused at the flavor bc it didn't taste like what I was expecting. I think it was some kind of guacamole or something, but it wasn't great. I made myself eat half of the burrito and then I pulled it open and just ate the steak out of it. The balance of flavors was off. I will say that the side of the burrito felt like a good bang for the buck, but taste wise, it left a lot to be desired. Overall, this place is a decent quick grab, but it is a bit pricey for a taco joint. If you want some good chips and queso with a Cherry Coke, this is the place for you! My meal before tip was $20.19

    Came here after a UCO wrestling event. It was one of a few places open after 9pm…read moreThe food was not bad but it is very overpriced $6 for 1 taco. We ordered a side of street corn and it was burned and overcooked. The environment was chill. May come back if we are in the area late at night.
