    Virgin margaritas: piña colada and Mango

    Wonderful place! This was my first time being there. We were there at 2pm on a Wednesday and got a "Buy one get one free" margarita. I had the vegetarian burrito. HUGE BURRITO! Think of chipotle but wider and taller! Super stuffed full of veggies. I probably should've asked for some guac or sour cream to be place inside to make it better but ordering how it is, tastes great!

    I will start by saying that I really appreciate that restaurants are working so hard during this difficult time and the overwhelming majority of my experiences lately have been great. Unfortunately, Taco Depot was an outlier. It is some of the worst Mexican food I have ever tasted. It seemed as if it is made for people who haven't had real Mexican and are looking for something a half step up from taco bell. We ordered tacos for taco Tuesday and got carnitas, steak and chicken. The meat was bland and didn't taste like it was seasoned for tacos. It was like someone took leftovers from another meal out of the fridge and decided to make tacos with them. They used flour tortillas that tasted like the grocery store brand--not the usual freshly made corn tortillas you get at a lot of more authentic places. Our tacos were supposed to be topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. There was a lot of lettuce and sour cream and very little cheese and tomato. Just overall bland and not restaurant quality (see photos). I can definitely make something better at home. We also ordered guacamole and chips. You can tell the avocado is mixed with something (maybe sour cream) so you don't get that really tasty guacomole that you get when it's pure fresh avocado. The chips also tasted like bagged chips which was so disappointing because one of the exciting parts about ordering tortilla chips from a restaurant is that they're often freshly made. Taco Depot seems to have a lot of fans but it really was the worst meal I have had in awhile. Maybe it was an off night but with a number of other options around I won't be returning.

    I am SO FULL! I've never been to The Taco Depot & and I am so glad I went! My daughter and I got to seat ourselves and Brian came right over to give us menus and drinks. We got chips and queso to start off with. Then I ordered the burrito depot steak and it was so delicious. I can only eat half of it. My daughter got a steak quesadilla with no tomatoes. Our order was not only right it was hot and fresh. The interior design was so relaxing and calm that I could just sit there for hours on end, and not want to go anywhere else. It wasn't hot in there. It wasn't cold in there. The restaurant is so clean and immaculate on the inside I did not see that coming. I am so glad there's not a Hardee's there anymore and The Taco Depot took over. I will be back for more. Brian and the gentleman that cook their food are definitely top-notch. I felt very welcomed and appreciated and cared for from one human to another. That's hard to find these days. I hope you enjoy the photos below. I'm telling you you go there. You won't be sorry.

    Always I had some issues with these guys. Only the first visit when i had been there, they were good. Earlier I was mad at their servers and services. But today, I am upset, with just messing up my order. after working all morning, I ordered a takeout and they gave me a wrong order. And asked me to come back, which was ok but then the Mexican guy was very rude. As if he was doing a favor on me by giving me a correct order. I wasted my entire lunch hour going back n forth because someone didn't check what they were packing. The server came out and said I am giving you free chips n salsa and I was like they don't care and just left. I don't like 1 star review but you deserve it :(

    Cheap and delicious. Quick, friendly service. Also had a great atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out. Only downside is they dont offer free chips and salsa. But with the prices being as low as they are , i understand.

    Limited menu. Over priced. Bad food. I would have rather had Taco Bell or Pancheros. Don't waste your time go to a real mexican restaurant.

    Scores on 33rd is excellent. We walked here from our hotel on a whim and were seated promptly. The…read moremenu is extensive, featuring wings, burgers, and pizza. I chose the catfish po' boy with jalapeño corn. The corn was amazing, but the sandwich itself was just okay. My lady ordered the Nashville Chix with coleslaw. The chicken had the perfect blend of spicy and delicious. The coleslaw was really good, though I'm not a coleslaw fan, so take that for what it's worth. The atmosphere includes lots of TVs playing sports, a large bar, and at least two pool tables. There's also a big outdoor seating area with cornhole. It felt a touch run down when we visited, but we arrived just after winter, so it's probably very nice the rest of the year. The staff was attentive and friendly. It's also conveniently located near hotels, shops, and plenty of other things to do. I would definitely return to Scores.

    Traveling, stayed at a nearby hotel. Looking for somewhere to eat that wasn't a chain restaurant…read moreand found this place. From the moment we walked in, the service was fantastic!! There was a huge party, a group of little leaguers and parents (30-40 people) there at the time. We were told that because of that, the food might take a little longer, we were fine with that, but appreciated the heads up. Despite that, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. And the food was really good! Great sandwiches and fries, all served hot. The waiter continued to be attentive throughout our meal, even though he was extremely busy. We were very impressed. We stop through Cedar Rapids every year so we're glad we finally found a good place to relax and have dinner. Btw, the multiple sports on TV are a total bonus!
