Highly recommend!!My buddy and I stopped in for an early dinner. The food was very good and was served in a timely manner. The staff were all friendly and helpful.We tried a few salsas which were all terrific, and the hatch green chili salsa was definitely the best! I can't recommend it enough. I wish we had room to try out the whole list!The pickle fried chicken tacos were very satisfying and my buddy says his zucchini enchiladas verdes were "solid." The chicken was slightly dry but it was nicely fried, and the tart pickled flavor and fluffy tortilla complimented it well.I think it was happy hour when we visited because my entree, 1/2 app, and draft beer ran me $23. At that price, I'd eat here every week!

For the uptown feel and the price, I imagined the food would be better. The tacos were fine to great, but every side was pretty bad. With only two tacos in an entree you'd expect better.

Great food, great service and really refreshing drinks, too! I've read other reviews that said the food size was small and, of course, everyone is different but I had so much leftover that we needed a to go bag! Highly recommend the pickle fried chicken tacos and the strawberry hand pies!!

Checked out Taco and Tamale and here’s my take: Awesome fresh ingredients and a cool vibe. But, be warned, portions are small and service is so-so. Their salsa and nachos though? Absolutely banging. Definitely worth it for those alone. Just maybe eat a little something before you go.

Fantastic! I ordered the shrimp po' boy tacos & they were so rich & full of flavor. For a side I chose the rice & pintos. The pinto beans were full of a rich bacon flavor. ? Perfect! My dining partner had black beans which were spicy & delicious as well. Great atmosphere & the service was top notch. Very comforting on a wet & rainy day. Great food & good company!Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious bean, sweet potato, & rice.

Fantastic mexican fare! I had the chicken tacos and some cheese dip. You can't go wrong with the cheese dip here.The tacos... let me tell ya. Now these aren't you tacos-at-home taco night tacos. These are artisan prepared tacos. I will say, eat them right away when they come out. I ate one and made the mistake of eating more of the chips and cheese dip and my second one got cold quickly. They're still good but better hot, in my opinion, so eat'em while they're hot!Great service, great food, good drinks as well. I give this place 5/5; give'em a try. Even my Uber driver recommended them when she realized where I was going.

Cool place and nice decorations. Food was just ok. I got the steak tacos which $16 for 2 small tacos and small scoop of rice and beans, I expected more. The smoky beans were delicious though. The day I went a machine was down so there were no nachos, enchiladas and something else. Spoke to a friend of mine who said they serve free chips and salsa but we were not served that, so not sure if they do it anymore.

Tamales have great flavor, but I've never in my life seen one so tiny! Bout as big around as my index finger. They definitely need to make them normal sized. Tacos were great, sides were mediocre. They can definitely say taco Co, but need to beef up those tamales to keep up that rep.

The chips and sauces were delicious, but the tamales stole the show! My wife doesn’t like tamales, but even she bragged on these! If we are back in the area, we’ll make sure to stop in again!
