My family and I went and visited Mr. taco for a late dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The burrito was strong, nachos were great, and beer was cold. I would definitely recommend stopping by for fast and friendly service, and a very clean dining room.

Found this place half mile away from our hotel, got torta and breakfast burrito for dinner. First bite of burrito was salty, and the more I bit, the more flavor I get, most especially tasty with fries. The torta was a tad on the dry side, too bad they only gave two small cups of salsa

I especially like Taco Tuesday, when a 2-taco lunch, including avocado slices, can be had for $6, but every day is a good day at Mr. Taco! Clean, friendly, and easy to eat GF (gluten free). Vibe of the place is upscale fast food, but it’s consistently tasty, well-prepared and presented. If you can judge a place by its restrooms (and of course you can) it’s an A+

This place was simply AMAZING. We went Saturday night. The food was so damn good we came back Sunday. The Carne Asada(meat) was really juicy & good. At times it can be dry but nah not here. The staff was very helpful. The location good. On Sunday’s you can get a kids meal for free when you order an adult entree. Really good deal there. The prices i thought were gonna be high but nah man everything was super reasonable and lower than expected for other items. Ive been to places where breakfast burritos were $10+ it was less than 6 here. I suggest everyone just go. You wont regret it

Chilles Rellenos were meh. This is the second time I’ve gotten these and they have been inconsistent. I think they put flower in the egg batter to make the ‘breading’ thicker, not authentic at all and they use Mexican blend cheese instead of Oaxaca cheese. The ‘breading’ should only be made out of eggs. The sauce is good and the chile is good lol but order something else on the menu!

I found Mr Taco on get1free and purchased a gift certificate. It is a very casual restaurant, you order the food at the register and are given drink cups and a number to put on the table, then they bring the food. The food was good, there were four of us and we all ordered something different, everyone enjoyed their food. The staff checked on us several times. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean.

My boss took me here once and he ordered an al pastor California burrito so I decided with the same. Was blown away with the flavor bomb. Now I order it almost every time I am there. Very friendly staff that has great recommendations as well.

Looked a lot better then it tasted. The Asada was just warm so it wasn’t fresh off the grill. I been to this place before and it was better. I think it was just an off day but won’t go back for a while.

Great authentic Mexican cuisine. Wait for food to be ready in just a few minutes. My kids love this place. They get excited when I tell them we’re eating here.
