“Had the al pastor tacos and the carne asada tacos and they were great and cooked perfectly. Cooked practically right in front of you. The salsas werent spicey spicey either. They were just right. The queso and chips were perfect and fresh. I also ordered a burrito and it was huge, you definitely get your moneys worth here. On a scale of 1-10 I’d rate it a 15.

“Taco City 2955 S Atlantic Ave., Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 4 Stars Just reading my random name generator caused my senses to vellicate just a bit as I was staying beachside for this meal. Blinking benignly up at me was the name of a restaurant that had been in the same location for over 40 years. At this point, Taco City has to be a local landmark and they must be doing something right. They also have an express counter at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, though that doesn't necessarily mean anything as servicemen and women like anything that isn't an MRE. As I was not, nor have I ever been in the Air Force (thank you to those that have been in any branch of our Armed Forces), I hooked a Louie just shy of the Cape and pulled into “civie” Taco City. I was greeted warmly upon entering and taken almost immediately to a table. Glancing at the menu, I noticed that it was much more diversified than your average Tex-Mex cantina. My server soon approached, introduced himself as Sequoia and asked if I was ready to order. I noticed that Sequoia was also the manager or at least the manager on duty. I found him to be very outgoing and sagacious while unreservedly answering all my questions. You didn't think I just went in and ordered blindly, did you? Do you? If not, I would suggest you start. The most important being, is this dish assembled or made? I asked Sequoia for an order of Chings or Chongs and Dos Hard Tacos (chicken). I sat back and soaked up the fantastic atmosphere of the place and quicker'n a cat on a hot tin roof, Sequoia returned with my food. If it tasted half as good as the aromas running ahead, I knew I was in for some decent chow. Snapping the prerequisite pictures, I grabbed my tools of epicurean destruction and commenced to “reviewing.” First up was my order of Chings or Chongs. This looked so interesting on the menu that I had to order it, and I was not disappointed. Consisting of shredded chicken fried in a large flour tortilla served along with freshly shredded iceberg, hand chopped tomatoes, Mexican cheese and black olives this dish was as delicious as it was unique. The chicken was tender, juicy and full-flavored. Turning my attention toward the Hard Tacos was not as easy as one might think, but I had a job to do. Grabbing a taco in my mitt, I took a good-sized bite and was delighted. This was also pleasant on the palate. Everything was fresh and one taste tells you it was made, not assembled in the kitchen. Well done, kitchen miens. Is Taco City going to win a James Beard award? Absolutely not. However, they aren't aiming for that either. What they are aiming for is what they provide and that is a fun, interesting menu with a great deal of heterogeneity in the crowded Tex-Mex field. This place is well run and the food is above average. The Big Boy says, “If you're looking for some Tex-Mex grub with a jovial atmosphere and decent food, try Taco City. I'm guessin' they will be here another 40 years.” If you are in or have been in the Air Force and have eaten at their Express cafe, please let me know what you think/thought of it.“

“Great place to get food in cocoa beach. Staff is friendly and service is amazing.“

“Restaurant is inside the Resort on Cocoa Beach. Food was great! Service was amazing. Today they have a “Cuban Night” serving Oxtail Cuban style. We are definitely going tonight to enjoy some Cuban food.

Like I said, came to try the Oxtail and it was delicious, it is served with black beans, white rice, yucca and fried plantains. I definitely recommend it.
Every Thursday they have Cuban food. There is also Happy Hour from 4:00 to 6:00 seven days a week.“
