First time eating here visiting from Bakersfield, and I will not ever eat there again! Menudo was dirty, greasy and had no flavor. Meat tasted old and tortillas taste like they were cooked on a dirty grill. For all you know it could have been canned menudo and for $40 dollars, definitely not worth it. You need better cooks.

This place is so good. I come here for lunch once in a while. Tonight I came I brought my son and mom. They both loved the carne asada tacos. I had the sonora taco. We enjoyed our dinner tonight. I recommend for you to try this place. My son approve his carne asada tacos

Great service. Delicious sauce bar. Cheese birria tacos were amazing. Chicken taquitos were paired with delicious guac, cheese, etc. I will admit the chicken was a little dry but it was nothing that the sauces couldn't fix. I'm eager to be back and try other menu items!

We visited this week and loved our experience. It was quite slow which I thought was interesting because it was dinner time. The portions were very good. The adults got burritos (surf n turf, carnitas, and taco chico). We bought the girls one taco each (chicken) and one side of rice (they split it). I asked about they chicken and the gentleman gave me a sample for my daughter to try. I appreciated it very much because I've gone to places where she doesn't like it. He didn't have to offer me a sample but he did. A simple gesture goes a long way. We also had the Agua de Sandia and pepino. All of the salsa options are also delicious!We look forward to coming back again soon.Kid-friendliness: He offered me a sample for my daughter to try to ensure she liked it.

Saturday dinner, pretty busy but open seating inside.Got a 2 chicken taco combo, and a few tacos with various meatsTaco combo was good value, a lot of chicken on the tacos and rice and beans are pretty standard, comes with a drink.Tacos. I liked the suadero and asada. I thought the cabeza was dry the Al pastor was dripping with grease.Overall pretty good for the area and the restaurant is clean. You may find equal or better tacos from stands/trucks but this is an easy place to grab a quick bite to eat.Saw some Taco Bell employee's buying tacos here so I think they are legit.

I got the surf n turf burrito with al pastor as the meat option and requested less rice. Overall, good size burrito, flavorful meat, and good proportionate amounts of the different components. I like a good meat to carb to everything else ratio and find that a lot of times there's not enough meat and way too much of everything else, but this burrito was filled so that each bite was satisfyingly meaty and with all the components. I also liked how the cheese was melted onto half the tortilla, so it was kinda like a quesadilla vibe that wrapped the burrito on one side. Something I didn't like however were a few pieces of pork that were unchewable so I had to spit out. I enjoyed that they have a self serve stand for salsas, limes, pickled onions, and radish, giving me the freedom to take as much as I need. My personal favorite is the green (mild) one because of the flavor. The other two, especially the hot one, are much tangier and bitter(?idk if bitters the right word) in flavor. In the end, would definitely come again for this burrito.

Really kind of a 3.5, but I'll round up because it's probably one of the nicest Taco Tuesdays places we've been to recently and the staff was really friendly. Definitely some good and some ok mixed in. The Taco Tuesday special eligible tacos were ok, but not super special. We had the chorizo, the Al pastor and the chicken. The chicken was actually really not good tasting. I would not recommend that one. The other two were decent and I would get them again. We also got the elote, but that was too much mayo, or something that tasted more mayo-ish than any other elote we've had before. But the tacos that brought it up in rating for me was the tacos gobanador, that we're not part of the Taco Tuesday deal. They were really nicely crispy and the shrimp inside was well seasoned and cheesy. I would 100% get those if you get anything here.

This was our first time eating at this place. The place is nice they have a great selection. The food is fresh, and they have very generous portion sizes. The food is probably slightly more than comprable places but the quality and flavor is worth it. The aguas frescas were very good as well.

Food - decent but not winning. Food is good but not to the moon. I've had better genuine Mexican food including birria tacos. They sell tacos, burritos, military, spies, torta, quesadillas, street corn, churros, and a host more including breakfast. I had their birria taco and cabeza taco. You should try and see for yourself but I'm ok.Service - order at the counter and be called. No frills.Ambiance - well lit and spacious. Good seating indoors and a few outdoor seating. They have classic rock music playing.Verdict - give them a shot to support this business pero no 5 stars. Pero 3.5 stars maybe?

I came to Taco Chico around 3:30 pm for a late lunch. I ordered two of the traditional Birria tacos with the consomme, fish taco, guacamole and chips. The food was really good. The fish taco was excellent and the birria tacos were really good with the consomme. Very solid tacos. A solid 4/5.Service was good and the parking was very convenient. We will be back to try the carne asada and shrimp tacos.

I have been here with my husband and friends on a Saturday night and with friends during the week and love their food. The rice and beans are delectable and not heavy tasting. This afternoon I had their potatoe taquitos again and I just love them.
