    Dead bugs

    The food has always been decent when I come here. The staff always friendly. However, the place is filthy all the time! So, if you don't mind slipping and sliding on a greasy floor that hasn't been mopped in weeks, arms sticking to the greasy dirty tables, walking around on food on the floor, don't mind dining with bugs, and eating off of disgusting trays, then this is the place for you. Cleanliness is the first sign of quality to me, and for that, this place is a total D+. Find a better taco shop to eat!

    It was my first time trying The Smoked Taco. The vibe was casual and laid-back. I tried the Surf & Turf, the BLT taco, and the churro fries. The Surf & Turf sounded promising, but it didn't quite live up to expectations. The steak and shrimp were fine, but nothing particularly stood out, and there were fewer pieces of shrimp than I thought there'd be. Again, it wasn't bad, just not as memorable as I hoped it would be. The BLT taco also fell a bit flat. It wasn't terrible, but it felt kind of basic and underwhelming compared to what you might expect from a specialty taco shop. For the price, I wouldn't order it again. The churro fries, though, were good -- crisp, warm, and coated in cinnamon sugar. The whipped cream that came with it was delicious as well (I'm not usually a fan of whipped cream). The portion was really big; definitely enough for four people to share. Overall, the experience had some hits and misses. The service was good. I didn't have to wait long before I got my food. The staff members were helpful and friendly.

    I've always been a big fan of the Smoked Taco. This location is just always a miss. First off, the water/ice always tastes like chemicals. It's like there is something wrong with the machine and it's been that way since they opened. I always want to have a good experience but it just disappoints. The Bang Bang is decreasing its shrimp every time I get it. It's also always cold. I don't get it. I feel like their tacos just aren't as good as they used to be. The flavors are lacking and the amount of meat.

    This place is great. Yummy upscale tacos. The service is quick and the employees are friendly. My favorite taco to get that I recommend is the fleeing Californian. They also have a cheese quesadilla you can get for little kids and it's on $2.

    Hey! Giving a 3 star because I was 2 frustrated to really try and enjoy my food once I got it. It took over 30 minutes to get my food. It didn't feel like there was a ton of motivation to get food out and I had to ask a couple of times where I was at in line. There were multiple people next to me waiting as well and you could totally feel the frustration as multiple people had to keep asking for an update. There is a lot of competition in the area for food options, so I don't know if I will try it again..... don't use my review on the food itself, just know that you may be waiting an extended amount of time for your food. If you go in with that understanding, you may not get as frustrated as I was and you can try and enjoy your meal. I ate my food as quickly as possible as I had to get back to work.

    I got here on a weekday during lunch, and there were plenty of tables available (at least 7)! There was no line and I could order immediately. I ordered the gringo, smoking pastor, fleeting Californian and bang bang. The tacos were made shortly after (less than. All the tacos were just average. The worst was the Bang Bang. It was filled with sauce and made the taco so soggy and hard to eat.

    The cashier was very nice and when I asked if I had time to walk over to sipn she let me know there was an order ahead of me and I should have plenty of time. I'm not a big taco person but these were delicious! The barbacoa had too many onions for me but like an adult I scooped them off and ate it. The tacos were full of flavor. All the colors inside were bright! I wish they had a second menu hanging up behind the counter or somewhere when you're ordering. They do have some to go menus but would be nice to just be able to look without taking a menu.

But that is not why you are here. Every summer Taco Amigo does something magical with fresh ripe strawberries and it makes everything else irrelevant. Their strawberry shakes are the real reason this place has a loyal following, and after one try you will completely understand it. Real strawberries, generous with them, blended into something that makes summer feel shorter than it actually is. When strawberry season winds down, the fresh peach shakes take over in the fall and they are nearly as good. Nearly. Yes, the wait on weekends during shake season is real. Go anyway. This is a locally owned spot with a friendly staff, a clean space, and something genuinely special coming out of that blender. That combination deserves support. My honest advice: eat somewhere else first, then stop here for dessert. Order the strawberry shake and find a spot to enjoy it. Five stars, every single one of them earned by that shake.

I will say, this is NOT fast food. They make the food fresh to order so do not expect to have a fast drive-thru.

Additionally, we ordered a side of rice but the nice gentleman at the window told us that as they were cooking the rice, they decided after doing quality control, it just wasn't up to par with their standards. So, he offered us a refund on the side of rice and they filled the taco salad with all the other yummy stuff. We appreciated the honesty and would rather a refund than to be sold yucky rice! As far as the food goes, it was all fantastic. The taquitos hit the spot and had guacamole, cheese, and lettuce. I'd for sure get them again! The refried beans were hot and flavorful. The beef in the taco was juicy and fresh. We will definitely try the taco salad again when they have better rice so we can get the full experience but the chicken was super juicy and flavorful. We are happy to have stumbled upon this place and grateful they're open for our late night cravings. We will definitely be back!
