    x3 Tacos De Papa
    Andrea H.

    Tacos de Papas - GET IT, so crispy and yummy potato filling!! I was so full after this meal and loved every bit of it.

    Taco de Lengua, Taco de Pastor, taco de cabeza
    Madeline B.

    Food was pretty good! The Al pastor wasn't really Al pastor in my opinion, it kinda just tasted like seasoned meat. The lengua and cabeza were pretty tasty though! Salsas were just salsa and birria could've used a little love. Horchata was tasty. I could see myself stopping by if I was in the area but I did feel like the food was pretty pricey for what you got. Inside was clean but unfortunately did not have public restrooms. Worker was nice and helpful.

    The potato tacos are very good! Everything I've had from here has been good. I've been here several times. I love their salsas too. You might have to wait because they're making your food fresh to order. It is cozy inside the restaurant.

    Gosh, I miss Taco Boss. My husband and I try to venture out to other taco places. Taco Boss is our measurement for all taco spots lol If it doesn't meet the Taco Boss standards, than it's garbage lol They have the best tacos. The tacos de papa are some of my favorite around. The shrimp tacos are great. Service is fine. They work hard to make the food fresh. Ambiance is usually busy. Sometimes there's a line. Great tacos!

    Small local but super busy taco shop! Love the late night opening hours! & the food is so authentic! The salsas & hot sauces are delicious, the food here does not disappoint, cravings always satisfied! I could eat here daily! Lol

    Unmelted cheese in the quesadilla
    Devin B.

    I was craving tacos and this came up in my search for a good place! The parking lot is a bit tight but I found a spot and headed in. Inside it is a very small place; just a few tables and there is no public restroom (yes this means no restroom for customers!). There is a little cart with salsa and toppings such as cilantro and onions. A woman took my order and I Was hoping to just get a couple tacos but was told the potato tacos only come in a 3 pack. I ended up getting a quesadilla instead, with carne asada inside. The quesadilla also has cilantro and onions inside but you can order without if you want. $13 for a quesadilla is steep, but the carne asada mainly boosts it up. It was a quick wait before getting my food. Immediately I noticed the cheese was hardly melted. The outside was a toasty brown but the cheese needed to be melted. Carne asada tasted fine, but this was an expensive quesadilla to not be done well. The salsa were my favorite part; there was a decently spicy creamy green one, a classic salsa Verde, and a red hot sauce. All were great! Unfortunately I just didn't enjoy the quesadilla and ended up throwing away half of it. Their tacos are probably what they are known for, as it's in their name. I would love the option to mix and match and order all tacos individually or one of their 3 sets with a combination of different tacos including the potato taco! I will end on one last note that their agua frescas look delicious. There was an orange one that was very tempting but I chose not to get a drink.

    Great Tacos! Fresh Ingredients! My Favorite is the Carna Asada Torta!!!! Great Service! Friendly Staff!

    Birria Ramen with cheese
    Jasmine N.

    This is a good place to go for a huge menu with a lot to choose from. It's the one place I know in the area that sells birria ramen, taquitos, and Tacos de papa(potato tacos). The birria ramen comes with a lot of meat, and the tacos de papa are stuffed and pretty good. The taquitos are fine, the meat sometimes feels dry, but with the toppings, they're good. Is not the best I've ever had, but it's convenient and scratches the itch.

    Mulita Carna Asada
    Krystal G.

    The food was just ok... to be honest nothing special! I ordered a Mulita but I've had better from a taco truck... We felt that the service was kind of rude... food was definitely overpriced! Location was easy to find... small, clean! Probably won't ever go there again.

    Our clinic got catering from The Taco Boss recently - no complaints! We got 20 tacos of each - al pastor, carne asada, and pollo (chicken). They really do not skimp on the protein here - every taco was overflowing with meat. I took one of each protein - the pollo was my favorite. Each bite was full of flavor - and it was choice cuts too. Nothing stringy or bony (as I've had from chicken tacos from other taco spots. Toppings and salsa were plentiful - we had three large bowls of different salsas, as well as limes, cilantro, and onions. Food was well packaged and stayed warm and fresh. I think there were chips provided as well, but none were left by the time my team got to the tacos.

    This is meat that I did not order. I am a vegetarian.

    I cannot win with these guys. I haven't been here in my on the due to finding meat in my veggie burritos and veggie nachos several times, I decided to give them yet another chance. I decided to get the potato tacos because I been traumatized by often finding meat in my "veggie burritos." Unfortunately, this time around, instead of finding meat, I found hair in my food. I always support local businesses but man... I had issues the past 4 times I went there to eat there. Really? Hair in my food? This is one of the most disgusting experiences when eating food. Of course I had to throw the whole thing away. I'm probably owed at least $100 from the issues. wearing hair nets should be mandatory. Move a little slower when preparing the food. I'm vegetarian so finding meat is the worst for me and other vegetarians. Hair is the 2nd worst. I know I said in previous posts that I would not go back but I'm 1000% sure this time.

    Ordene por DoorDash en este lugar por la primera vez todo esto salió $17.55.... $4 por un taco aunque tenga double tortilla.. están tan chicos y en el foto dice 4.5 tortillas con un foto de 4 tacos. Si supiera que cada taco costara $3.50 en person, mas aparte $4 por el aplicación yo fuera ido a otro taqueria. I ordered from this place on DoorDash for the first time and all of this came out to $17.55... $4 per taco even though it has a double tortilla... they're so small, and in the photo it shows 4.5 tortillas with a picture of 4 tacos. If I had known each taco would cost $3.50 in person plus $4 on the app, I would have gone to another taqueria.

    Asada fries, amazing!

    Do you guys do Taco Tuesdays?

    Yes we do

    Is this place gluten free? Unsure if they had or train their staff to answer questions with dietary restrictions. Correct me if I'm wrong but they should have nutritional guidelines etc.

    My wife and daughter both have celiac and have never had a problem here. We come in about every 2 weeks and they have had the street tacos, vampiros, mulitas, asada fries, and birria. All of the meats have been safe as well.

    Solid spot for tacos!…read more It's right down the street from work, so my coworkers and I stopped by for Taco Tuesday not too long ago. Luckily, we left before the lunch rush, and my expert driver coworker managed to pull off an epic u-turn right in front of the restaurant - snagging a spot literally across the street. But yea - parking here is going to be tough since its the Orange circle (tiny streets, aggressive drivers). Taco Stand looks small from the outside - but it's long and wide once you step inside. Seating is plentiful - but considering that its a popular taco spot, you're going to have trouble finding a spot and might have to eat to-go. There's your usual fixins' of tacos, burritos, fries, chips and dips - and my coworker loves their churros - which comes with condensed milk dipping sauce. I opted for the California burrito - which contains flame-grilled angus steak, cheese, fries, guac, tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream. It was huge! Luckily, I had asked the friendly clerk if she could make sure the kitchen cuts it in half, cuz it was definitely too much for lunch/one person. This was such a good burrito! Good ratio of premium fillings (meat, guac) to the filler stuff like fries and tomatoes. The steak was well seasoned - and had that fresh/just cooked tenderness to it - rather than steak that's been sitting out for awhile. My coworkers got all sorts of other stuff - including the fresh churros. There's a well-stocked fresh salsa bar - I just stuck to my usual mild / "boring" sauces - but the creamy thousand island dressing looking sauce was moderately spicy and bearable. Service was prompt and efficient. We managed to snag a table right before the place started filling out - there was a line out the door by the time my group left. I like that the tables have these built-in cupholders on the side - so they don't take up premium tabletop space. Overall, a solid spot for tacos - if you don't mind dealing with the tight traffic and parking mess around the Orange Circle. I don't see myself coming back here unless its with other people, since I'd be too claustrophobic driving in these tight corridors.

I just call it food cause that's what I eat for breakfast lunch and dinner so when I'm telling you that this place has some really good food trust me you want to come out and try it. Everything they have on the menu is bomb as fuck. Their drinks are bomb. The service is bomb.

Probably better for a nighttime gathering, but kind of threw off our brunch talking session. This is definitely a personal preference, but prepare to be extremely overstimulated. The place is absolutely gorgeous! Kudos to whoever did the interior decorating because everything is visibly pleasing. Even the presentation of drinks and food were great and "instagram-worthy". My friends and I did bottomless mimosas for $35 which is a fair price, but the rest of the menu was ridiculously overpriced. $15 Base for chilaquiles but it's a minimum of $7 to add protein (a very minuscule amount) AND an extra $4 just to add eggs?? Regular drinks were extremely tax as my friend's latte horchata was $12 and it was not good at all. The food was not bad, but the upcharging and skimpy portions definitely put this place on my "no" list. HOWEVER, if they just make minor tweaks with the volume, pricing, and food quantity it definitely could be a great place to go! The staff is friendly and the vibes are right, there just needs to be some changes for me personally.

If they changed ownership then that would explain a lot. The chips are still good - nice and thin, oily, and crunchy. The salsa still has that perfect heat but bigger pieces of white onion. The old murals on the walls from yesteryear are painted over and long gone, but so is the flavor. Convince me!
