Our waitress, it was her birthday, and she was the sweetest thing! We asked for the spicest sauce they had, and i wish we couldve gone hotter! Thanks for a great time and Happy Bday!

“The food here was amazing.. They prepared my food fast but the only problem I had is when I came in with my Service dog, which had Service dog jacket on was told that I had to leave. I told him she was a service dog and he said he didn’t care and I told him that he might have the ADA down here if he doesn’t let me order some food and go then he let me come in and get my food. My dog was properly marked with a jacket service dog maybe they need to be educated about Service dog in the ADA.“

“Had a great time here! Had the smoked chicken quesadilla and the strawberry and dragonfruit agua Fresca and it DID NOT disappoint! Had an amazing server (Aspen) who was happy to ensure we enjoyed every aspect of the meal. The booths are a bit uncomfortable because the tables don’t overlap the seats very well, but other than that, this place is a must-try!“

“Without a doubt the best Sopes around. The tamale was delicious as well. Service was great. Why don't all Mexican restaurants have Sopes? These were fantastic!“

“Taco Mama is the kind of place that makes you forget you’re just grabbing a quick bite. The atmosphere is always buzzing — colorful, lively, and full of that laid-back energy that makes tacos taste even better. The menu keeps it simple but fun, with build-your-own options and cleverly named creations like the “Yo Mama” and “Cheezy Beef.” Every taco bursts with fresh flavor, and the ingredients taste like they were chopped minutes before hitting your plate.“

“Whole Foods Market continues to stand out as one of the best grocery experiences for those who value quality, freshness, and variety. The store is beautifully organized, with bright lighting and a clean, inviting layout that makes shopping pleasant rather than stressful. The produce section is a highlight — everything looks fresh, well-stocked, and clearly labeled with sourcing details. The store’s commitment to organic and sustainably produced foods is evident in every aisle.“

“Thank you all for accommodating our party of 18 very last minute… These guys are great. Literally called from Logan’s and asked if they’d accommodate our party due to poor service at Logan’s. They said yes come on. We walked across the parking lot walked in stood for less than 5 mins and they had us set up and ready to go. Food was fantastic… All the staff were so friendly.. Our waitress was exceptional. She handled our big crowd perfectly.. Highly recommend trying the fresh guacamole 🤩. If you want good food and good service definitely try them out…“

“Amazing quality and so much flavor! May become a weekly stop for our family. Going to challenge my kids to try every dessert once.“

“Speedy's is a great hometown restaurant with terrific Mexican food. Their taco salads are our family favorite. Fast, friendly service and tasty food!“

“Ordered 4 chicken tacos & 4 steak tacos...I will say not enough sauce to even put on your tacos...very dry with the sauce provided. I got the green and red sauce (2 each provided) for 8 tacos; oh, and a steak burrito w/o beans. Was not very satisfying for the money spent. Please ask for a LOT of sauce if you get this order...I mean a lot.“

“Quick/kind service and yummy authentic Mexican food. 10/10“

“Best tacos hands down. Tacos are always packed with lots of meat and served w/ grilled nopales (cactus) and cebollita taquera(green onion). They give you green and red salsa bottles to take to your table to enjoy throughout your meal. For drinks they offer Jarritos or agua frescas. Aside from tacos they also have quesadillas, pambazos, burritos, etc.“
