    Birria Tacos
    Nick M.

    I've now had the pleasure of dining at The Taco Shrimp for the second time, and I can confidently say this place continues to impress on every level. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone, clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. The service is just as exceptional friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making your experience a great one. And then there's the food... absolutely outstanding. Every dish is packed with flavor and clearly made with care. It's one of those rare spots where everything from the atmosphere to the last bite comes together perfectly. I seriously can't say enough good things about this restaurant. If you're anywhere near Hemet, this is a must visit.

    Well, if you've read through my reviews, you'll know that I'm a freak for carne asada fries. So......of course I got some from here because I'd never been here before. But anywho, lets start with the tacos. I got a carne asada, a chichen and a birria taco, they were all fire. The carne asada fries were just ok. I say this because of those thin fries that they use. Had they used regular sized crinkle cut fries, these would be a slam dunk 10.

    Found this place by accident. I was on my way to another restaurant and decided to stop here instead. Am I ever glad I did. The service is great with the staff being friendly and the food is out very, very quick. I love this place for its simplicity. It's hard to find a really good taco but they just get it right. I tried asada, birria, and lengua. The mulitas are just as good. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    My wife and I tried the The Taco Shrimp our first time and we really liked the quality of food there. Restaurant is clean and we were greeted at the door. You order and pay first which can be a bottle neck at the door but the food was excellent and we look forward on returning and trying other tacos. My wife offered Baja shrimp tacos and I had the Birria tacos. They also have daily specials.

    We finally got to try this place and I'm glad we did. Food was tasty and at a fair price. Service was excellent! Shrimp and fish tacos were both great, and my son loved his surf & turf burrito. Looking forward to trying the birria tacos next!

    I visited on 12/13/25 after seeing them on instagram. My friends who live in the area also recommended stopping in. They have a sit down as well as a to-go option. I ordered a Baja shrimp burrito as well as a carne asada burrito. Both tasted great! I will be back on taco Tuesday to try the Baja fish tacos! The service was great too as the hostess immediately thanked me for stopping in and it was also clean inside. I will be back soon!

    Shrimp Chilaquiles

    Came in Sunday with my family, we all had tacos Octopus, Fish, carne asada, shrimp and tripa. Also had the Surf and turf Burrito, Shrimp Chilaquiles and Micheladas. Everything was good and fresh. Service was great, although you order at register when you arrive, servers came by constantly to check on us. Restaurant had a cool chill vibe, great for Happy Hour, very nice and clean. Definitely will be back!

    Really good salsa

    Wow! A hidden gem in Hemet! We used to see the truck in the parking lot on Florida but never got to stop. I am so glad we tried The Taco Shrimp. We saw their post on Facebook about their shrimp fries and it sold us, really excellent fat shrimp grilled perfectly, the fries were good, lots of melty cheese under the shrimp which I loved, I don't like cheese on the actual shell fish so it was perfect! The sauce was great too. Their salsas were nice and the guacamole was one of my favorites now. The place is festive but not over the top, really nice place. We can't wait to try other items, especially grilled octopus!! Hopefully they still have that. Highly recommend!

    We live in Hemet and are always trying to try new businesses in the area. I can say that this place is really good. So far what we have tried is always tasty. One thing about this place that it's not traditional in any way. You do have to order and pay for your food before sitting your self down. They give you a number and the waitress will then bring your food out. Never waited for my food longer than 20 minutes. They also bring your food out on to go containers but I think that's helpful. The agua frescas have a twist, they are combined with two fruits. Micheladas were yummy! Staff is always nice. Location has lots of seating inside and out. We at least come tot his place once every 2 weeks for their shrimp tacos.

    2 octopus tacos w/everything on it  $4 each plus tax

    I come to this place once every two weeks with my family. We've been coming here for 3 years now…read moreconsistently. Quesobirria tacos are the best here and but all the food here is great! The shrimp tacos are delicious and the burritos are always a hit with my teenagers. Aside of all the tasty food, the service is always great! Today we were helped by Natalie and she was super nice! Really appreciated that she took the time to ask if we enjoyed the food. I came back and adjusted my review to my experience. We drove all the way home after getting g our food and we were missing something. When I called I was told to hold on but I told her I was coming back to get it. There was no apology at any point. I really am rooting for you guys. A simple sorry would have been great.

    The food was good, but unfortunately the service didn't match. I understand we came in about an…read morehour before closing, but the girl who took our order lacked basic customer service skills and wasn't friendly or welcoming at all. When my husband asked if they had al pastor meat and if he can have it in a mulita, she ignored his question, pointed to the sign, and said, "all meats are up there." I feel she could have at least answered him It came across as rude and dismissive. That interaction really took away from our experience--my family and I didn't feel welcome. This was our second visit, and it will be our last.
