This was my first time at the The Taco Shack and it did NOT disappoint!
We shared entrees and really enjoyed the blackened fish tacos & steak nachos… I hear the steak quesadilla is also great so I’m trying that next time for sure!
I love the style, decor and ambiance of this place - a Mexican food surfin’ safari.
To top things off, “Taco Mike” was kind enough to bring us chips and guacamole and this really great dessert ( I forgot its name) to try on the house since it was our first time visiting.
Our group was surprised at how reasonably priced everything was and without a doubt…. We left satisfied!
I definitely recommend The Taco Shack and we will be back!

The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and everything in combination made for an unforgettable date. We will be back!
Parking: It's tight in spots but doable.
Kid-friendliness: There were two kids at one table and a group that were coming in and they had a baby with them.

A classic eatery in new smyrna and a staple for all surfers. Love the decor and menu board which hasn't changed since the last century (please don't change it!! I love the nostalgia ?) Love the food and the service.

Well..a bit in shock as my go to weekly meal of the Cuban Sandwich, that comes with chips, and I buy a 4 oz salsa to dip them in(which is no charge at most places) price increased from $12.25 to $13.85 after they returned from a two week vacation. This doesn't include fries or a drink, etc. The menu sign doesn't reflect any price increase, and they don't give receipts, so I don't know what the breakdown is. Inflation is supposedly contained to 3% now, so I can't really understand this additional significanct price increase. Very disappointing. Not to be at all flipped, but maybe consider being open more than 4.5 days a week, as opposed to increasing prices. I estimate that I spend about $800 annually there, but unfortunately that will need to be seriously cut down, at least in half. To make matters worse, the amount of meat on the sandwich was less than typical, and there were several large pieces of pork that I couldn't even chew. I actually had to spit them out. I really hate having to put this review, as the owners are typically very nice, but I am extremely disappointed.

The Taco Shack is a great laidback place. If there’s a line to get in, be patient, it’s worth the wait.
Wow, I am so full. This was some exceptional food. The best I’ve had since San Diego.

The food is amazing! Best chips and queso I have ever had. The seasoning on the chips was amazing. The staff is very friendly. Prices are very fair with good portions. All three of us ate for under $40 and got our entree, an appetizer, and beverages. We will be eating here again soon!
