Food was good, flavor could be better. The male at the register was friendly. Kinda pricey for what you’re getting. Not too much seating- more for 2 people tables really.

Had a family emergency and was unable to pick up the large amount of food I ordered for a business meeting. The team at mikes tacos changed it to a delivery. They were so nice and helpful. Can’t recommend these people enough.

Went here for dinner last week after hearing a few good things from friends. The place has a relaxed vibe, nothing fancy, but comfortable enough to sit and enjoy a meal. I ordered tacos and a side of rice and beans. The flavors were solid and felt pretty authentic, especially the salsas, which had a nice kick without being too much. Portions were fair for the price. Service was friendly, though it took a little time to get our check, but nothing crazy. Overall, it was a good experience and somewhere I’d come back to when I’m craving Mexican food and don’t want anything over the top.

Nope! Don’t do it!

We were looking for tacos, El Gordo, but unfortunately, the parking situation there was difficult. We decided to drive over to Mike’s red tacos. Two tacos and a side of chips $14.99!. My friend and I decided to split an order of nachos and two tacos plate. It was $33! We did not order drinks, but of course there’s the option to leave a tip.

The consóme was bland and tasted manufactured/from a can. The food was not horrible, but I expected better.

Since I’ve never been here before, I went ahead and left a four dollar tip, thinking that they were gonna bring the food to our table and pick up our tray as well. This is not the case! We had to pick up our food after our number was called, serve our own salsa, and pick up our own tray. No, I don’t mind doing any of this, but of course food was mediocre at best. The service was blah.

Marcos G was the nicest, most personable employee!! So friendly and such a hard worker. The new, larger store next door looks great!

January 2026 - just came back and the nicest cashier helped me! Just looked at the receipt and it was Marcos G, again! He’s so awesome!!
