Native Tongues Taqueria - Victoria Park provides a delightful taco experience with distinct flavor profiles. The hongos (mushroom) option stands out, even compared to the meat choices. Customers have praised the fantastic tacos, including the standout fish tacos, described as crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The cocktails are fancy and tasty, and the Birria burrito is a must-try. While the food and prices are great, some customers feel the tacos are a bit expensive, with prices over $10 for a taco. The atmosphere is good, with a cool vibe and outstanding service, although some find the restaurant too dark and the hard seats uncomfortable. It's a perfect spot for delicious Mexican street food with high-quality protein options and little carbs.
Customers enjoy the excellent happy hour margaritas, alongside the tasty salsa fresca, guacamole, and corn dip. The tacos, especially the carnitas, pescado, and pork belly, are favorites, described as delicious, fast, and fresh. The birria tacos are noted for their beefy flavor, while the chicken taco is highlighted for its juice, toppings, and delicate spice.
The service is fast and professional, and the food is always great and very authentic. The sauces are especially memorable, adding the perfect kick to complement the tacos. Customers recommend this place for its delicious tacos and margaritas, stylish and clean ambiance, and overall great experience. However, some customers suggest improvements to seating comfort, as the high top tables can be uncomfortable.
