Brought the team here tonight for cinco de mayo and it was INCREDIBLE! The drinks were delicious (margs of course), chips and dips were amazing, tacos incredible (including a whole vegetarian menu!), and awesome desserts! Best servers, phenomenal atmosphere, the best!

Love this place! My go to is the street tacos and a happy hour margarita, but the whole menu is delicious. Love the staff!

I saw in the newspaper that it's the best taco place. We went there yesterday. To be honest, I don't think it's the best taco, just okay! The rice was bland, the bean was okay, the taco was good but not the best. The salsa wasn't great!! Chip and salsa for $9.00 and chip and guacamole for $12.00 were just okay, not the best, and not worth it!! Other restaurants provide free chip and salsa. The margarita was good but not the best. There are other restaurants better than Taco Stop. The total price was $118.00, which is crazy! I really thought it was the best, but nope! I saw a lot of people there, mostly Americans, and I can understand why.

Really welcoming staff and quick service! We tried three types of tacos, the chips and salsa, chilaquiles and rice and beans. The steak and al pastor tacos were very good, I would highly recommend these. The corn tortillas they use are a step above what you'd find at most other shops around. They reminded us of the ones we get when we go visit family in Rosarito. The salsa on the chilaquiles was tasty but was lacking heat/spice, we added some of the diabla salsa and it was just right. The frijoles were also very good but a little disappointed the serving size was so small. Also a little disappointing that the chips and salsa were an additional $9. Not a huge fan of the seasoning they put on the chips. Rice and beans are also an additional fee and the seasoning for the rice not our favorite. The carnita taco was just ok. Not much flavor and a little on the mushy side. Overall we really enjoyed it. The decor was very nice, the staff is very friendly and the tacos as the name says were super yummy and why you should STOP here!! We would come back and just order tacos and skip the rest!

Omg this place is the real deal!! I haven't stopped thinking about it and I can't wait to go back. I have tried so many Mexican places around NOCO and they're all so mid. Not this place! They deliver on the food obviously but also the service. Our server was on point and explained everything on the menu and even offered suggestions. The meats were juicy and flavorful, not dry. And the rice was sooo good too. I can't wait to come back here and try literally everything on the menu. The birria was amazing!!

Taco Stop was super quiet the night I went in around 7p, with one other table taken up. This isn't usually a good sign, but it was snowing and cold outside. I thought Coloradans wouldn't let something like that slow them down, but giving Taco Stop the benefit of the doubt there. The chilaquiles I ordered arrived quickly, and were delicious. I got them with steak, and at the recommendation of the bartender I got half ranchera and half verde sauce. I would definitely eat here again next time I'm in the area!

My favorite taco place in Fort Collins! I always order delivery so I've never been into the restaurant but my goodness these tacos are good. I went through a phase where I ordered these at least once a week. Their tacos are my favorite but they also have good chili cheese fries, amazing quesadillas (highly recommend trying the spinach on that one) and delicious chips and salsas. read more

I'm from California so my standard when it comes to Mexican food is pretty high. I have tried 3-4 Mexican restaurants in town and they all let me down, high prices and lack luster food made me not want to return. Luckily I found The Taco Stop, it's out of the way from downtown south college where I live so many college students might not find this spot. I got 6 tacos - 2 chicken 2 pastor and 2 steak, and 1 fajita chicken burrito. The best item I got was the fajita burrito by far - 5 stars all day, the tortilla was amazing, the grilled chicken was spot on and the fajita mix was perfectly cooked, not to crunchy or mushy. The shredded chicken tacos were also good, well flavored, good crunchy lettuce. The pastor tacos were okay, not great but not horrible, compared to some al pastor i've had in California the flavors were a little bland, maybe it was an off day for them. The steak tacos were also great, the onion, cilantro and steak makes for a perfect street taco. The burrito came with a nice bean dip which was very flavorful and good to dip the chips in. The habanero salsa was flavorful, but not spicy enough for my liking, I like to sweat when im eating habaneros, but i've noticed every salsa in Colorado has been less heat then i wanted. The red rojo salsa was the best by far, it was very flavorful and not to spicy. The verde salsa was peppery and not as flavorful as the other 2 salsa, I usually enjoy a good salsa verde with my steak tacos but this one was not hittin. The staff was amazing, they were so friendly and welcoming even during covid, everyone was wearing a mask and it looked clean insdie and taking the proper precautions. As far as restaurants go and especially Mexican restaurants I would highly recommend coming and trying The Taco Stop. Its the best Mexican food and a top 3 overall restaurant in the Fort Collins area. read more

I am so happy The Taco Stop has a storefront now! These are the best street tacos I've had in Colorado. They don't try to dress up their tacos with a bunch of stuff to fain the presence of quality or flavor, they keep it simple and focus on making the 3-4 ingredients of a street taco the best they can be; the meats are tender and flavorful, the tortillas are the perfect consistency, a respectful variety of salsas to satisfy every spice level that are each bursting with fresh flavor, and crisp, fresh cilantro/onion topping with a lime wedge per taco - everything you could want in a street taco. In addition to their tacos, they have a handful of other menu items that should be considered when you can pull yourself away from the tacos. The pastor gringas and quesadillas are my favorites; you won't regret trying either. They take so much care with to-go orders, giving you little cups of sour cream, avo crema, and salsas with each taco or quesadilla; it's such a nice touch and really shows the care put into everything. The desserts are so good, we have tried the churros and fried ice cream and they are each superb. I don't know what they do to their ice cream but it is so freakin good. The service had been great every time we've gone, whether dining in or out. Staff is always really friendly and upbeat, and happy to answer questions. My only regret is not living closer! read more

But this was genuinely some of the best Mexican-inspired food of my LIFE! As a vegetarian, Mexican food tends to be hit or miss when it comes to creative meat substitutes. Blue Agave chose fried avocado tacos as its offering, and WOW. They were truly amazing. Life changing. Well spiced, the right amount of filling in each taco, and the avocado itself was perfectly ripe and fried well without much residual grease. Not only that, but the side beans and rice were incredible. The portions were generous and spiced magically- I could eat just the beans and rice as a dish on its own. I was also astounded by how the grilled corn sauce was thick and saucy, but tasted EXACTLY like elote- some kind of culinary magic. This place may be slightly pricier, but the food portions are large and I cleaned my plate and left feeling stuffed. My companions couldn't finish their beans and rice, and if I didn't think I was going to explode I would have cleaned their plates, too. I'm glad I don't live in FoCo or else I would go broke eating here. I cannot recommend it enough, especially those avocado tacos. I will be dreaming of them for years. The restaurant was a little jammed when I visited and some might find the atmosphere overwhelming, but I would say it's absolutely worth it. Seriously, if you're going to one place in FoCo, go here.

The smell alone was off-putting -- my girlfriend had to turn away from it in order to eat. At $25, this is completely unacceptable. I should have sent it back, but regardless, this kind of quality should never leave the kitchen. I'm hoping this isn't representative of your usual standards, but based on this experience, something is clearly off. I wanted to bring it to your attention.

The food is amazing every time and it arrives quick and hot.

I will…read moresay, per usual, the menu is overwhelming, but that is pretty typical in my experience with Mexican restaurants. We started with margaritas - my friends got the spicy marg and I opted for cucumber. The spicy marg is like drinking fresh jalapeño; it is no joke, a bit overwhelming honestly. My friends had a hard time drinking it because it was so incredibly hot. The cucumber marg was more refreshing. However, neither of them were strong like I'm used to at Mexican restaurants. The queso fundido was yummy. My friends and I split the shrimp ceviche, which was ok, but I honestly expected better based on the reviews I'd seen. Service was a bit lacking when they got busy, which was difficult at the end when we needed to wrap up and get to an event.

Lots of cheese. My fajitas were yummy, I loved the black beans and rice especially. Not an overly expensive meal either. Cute spot, my son liked all the rooster decor!

First is our server. She was very informative and explained es things very well. This restaurant is so much different than the old building. Love the UNO cards. Now the food. We started off with chips and salsa and they give 2 kinds. Both were very good and we ate it all. Husband got the special, beef taquitos and they were so good and crispy with lots of flavor and the pickled onions were a perfect addition. I had the Tacos Al Carbon. They even let you order 3 different meats so you can try three. Got chicken, pork pastor, and shredded beef. Beef, chicken then pork were the order I liked. If you like guacamole you have to try theirs. It was excellent and seasoned perfectly. read more

Tried The Taco Stop in Fort Collins yesterday and it completely delivered. The food was incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service matched it too: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. On top of that, the whole atmosphere just hits right--great energy, cool vibe, and a place you actually want to hang out in for a while. Easily one of the best spots I've been to lately. Highly recommend. read more

I came here and got most of their tacos…read more All the good things about this place: -the carne asada tacos. Great flavor, not dry, perfect ratio of meat/veggie/tortilla. -the quesabirria tacos. Their consumé was pretty yummy! I think my only critique about these is that there could be more beef flavor... Maybe needs more salt?? - I love how they give you two chips with an order of tacos... To scrape up all the things that fell out of your taco at the end haha - there is a small eating area if you want to enjoy your food fresh! The mediocre: -their chicken taco was ok. It wasn't dry, which was great! I just wish it had a char on it to make it more flavorful - their salsas were not bad... But neither was spicy enough for me. -their al pastor taco was ok... There was something about the texture that turned me off. Idk it kinda tasted like marinated ground pork (even though it was minced?) -their birria taco - cause why get a birria taco when you can get a quesabirria taco for the same price!?! I would 100% be coming back just because their prices are pretty decent ($3/taco, $4/birria taco) and it is close to where I live. But I'll be sticking to their steak tacos and quesabirrias!

I've been somewhat on a birria kick of late, so this was a great opportunity to try out their #1 "Three Tacos Birria". Found a nearby table and went to town. Oh my, these are delicious. The best way I can describe a birria taco, is as if Mexicans had invented the French Dip. Meat and cheese-stuffed, fried up, and then served with a side of consomme to dip it in. Meat was flavorful, tortilla shell perfectly infused with flavor and yet still delightfully crispy. The dipping soup was bold---I found myself taking a few sips after I had eaten everything. Absolutely hit the spot and strongly considering hitting their brick-and-mortar while we're still here. YUM!
