    The Taco Shack NSB Lunch...Awesome place called The Taco Shack serving up Mexican and Puerto Rican fare...The Pork Canaos were excellent as was the Mexican Taco...Terri opted for the Puffy Tacos. The Pork Canaos are roasted pork served up on sweet plantains cut in half and topped with some pico and a shackaise sauce with your choice of a bean and rice combo. The Puffy Tacos give you a choice of beef, chicken or pork. Terri opted for one of each. Cool beach vibe to the place with surf inspired decor. You order from the window that faces the street and pay at the window just around the corner...take your seat and they bring your order out to you. Now up to the Flager Beach area for another walk.

    This is a cute outdoor area in NSB to grab some tacos! I have had their fish tacos before but this was my first time eating at the location. We ordered a Cuban sandwich that was their take on a Cuban. It had pepperjack instead of Swiss, it was a little dry, it could've used some more mustard, the chicken tacos were average. The fish tacos really shined! The cabbage was crisp and the fish was Mahi Mahi and were substantial!. I would definitely come back for the fish tacos!

    Best taco spot I've been to in a long time! While vacationing in New Smyrna Beach, a cashier at Publix recommended The Taco Shack--and wow, what a great call. It seems to be a family-run place, and you can feel the love in every bite. The food was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and made to order. Be aware, they do close early, and there was a long line when we arrived, but it moved quickly and was 100% worth the wait. The dining area is open-air with outdoor seating, and they've got fans going to help keep things cool. Such a great local find--don't miss it if you're in the area!

    Love Miguel's Mofongo with pork! For me it's that dish you fall in love with and can't bring yourself to order something else from the menu on your return visits. Outdoor covered seating with ceiling fans. Sometimes the ordering line can be long. This is a favorite lunch place for us.

    Casual great food. Exactly what we were looking for on the way to the beach. Not only was it fast, the food was hot and delish. All seating is outside but even in the late August afternoon it was comfortable. We brought our dogs too which was convenient. We will be back for sure.

    This is my dog Peanut, I went to the taco shack to get my favorite amazing tacos, while they WERE amazing, Peanut ate 4 out of the 6 tacos that I ordered, Peanut liked the tacos.

    We vacation down at NSB every year and this was our first visit here for lunch and it was DELICIOUS! The service is so nice and the staff is amazing! It was a very hot day but the seating area was cool and shaded. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I got the fly fried fish tacos!!

    Went here for the first time. There's a walk up window where you place your order & then take a seat at one of their outdoor tables. I ordered 3 crunchy tacos for $6.50 - one beef, one pork & one chicken. I also ordered a side of guacamole. A server brought out my food in less than 10 minutes. The guacamole was good. The tacos were on the smallish side & tasted average. I might return here when in the area.

We walked up a few flights of stairs to enter the restaurant, which is located above a seafood restaurant. So, I'm not sure if the restaurant is accessible for those that have mobility challenges. We sat outside on the patio in order to enjoy a view of the ocean! The day was beautiful! We ordered birria tacos, a chicken quesadilla, and horchata. The tacos came with ranch style beans that looked yummy, but they didn't taste great. There was a funny aftertaste that I didn't prefer despite positive reviews. I didn't finish them. For some reason, I was hoping for delicious, scratch-made horchata. I was disappointed by the artificial tasting, watery mix. It just wasn't my cup of tea. The birria tacos, on the other hand, were tasty. You should try them! My dining companion enjoyed the grilled quesadilla too!

Our server was awful. Longer waits than surrounding tables, hot the order slightly off, but forgot to enter my daughter's dinner. To make it worse, she abandoned our table after that and a friendly manager took over. Not sure why, as I was not rude (I promise!). Food was ok but poor service overshadowed the experience.

Our server tonight struggled from the moment he showed up at our booth, he shook his head yes a lot but failed to understand and deliver and had no verbal communications all night. Thinking he was struggling I made it perfectly clear when I placed my order I even repeated it again and he kinda acknowledged my request - my order of a variety of enchiladas arrived incorrect and both of our entrees were swimming in water making everything completely soggy I raised the question that my order was wrong and our food's presentation was lacking any appeal and was not warm and he thanked me and walked away - he did check in on us several times after our food arrived but none of our requests were acknowledged nor was there any attempt to make it right. If there is any positive here the Dos Equis draft was cold - very disappointing that this restaurant has gone downhill it's not likely we'll return...
