I just found tacos better than tacos al carbon in lake worth, fl and better than the taco truck on 15th in South Beach, fl... Just get the street tacos. The chorizo. It's perfect.

We live close to Taco Palate and we love their food! Living in the neighborhood for years now, I have heard other folks talk about Mexican restaurants in the area and rave about them - but my experience with them is far inferior to Taco Palate. In fact, a few weeks ago I went to one highly recommended spot on Ashland, my deluxe burrito was mushy, creamy mess by the end, I had to throw it out in disgust.

This never happens at Taco Palate! The burrito shells are fried to a nice crispy goodness and they are always filled with high quality veggies, meats and cheese without too much sour cream.

We highly recommend heading over to Taco Palate for a quick bite!

I ordered a tostada and a rice and beans. Tostada was ok but small. The rice was horrible lumpy and not flavorful at all. The beans were great but again the portions are to small to really enjoy. Worst part waited 15 minutes for. Hate to leave such a poor review but had to keep it honest. So if yo like beans give them a try other than that save your money.

Consistently Mid – Here’s Why This Spot Can’t Break a 3.9

There’s a reason this place can’t seem to climb past a 3.9 rating—and my experience made that crystal clear. I ordered through DoorDash, and they completely ignored my request for extra sauces and cilantro. But it gets worse—they only sent two out of the six tacos I paid for. Seriously?

The food itself? Dry meat, watery beans, and rice so mushy it might as well have been porridge. Nothing about it stood out in a good way, and definitely nothing that would bring me back.

If you’re craving tacos that actually hit, skip this spot and go to Mariscos Y Taqueria Chemas 2, El Taconazo El Tio & Birria, or Spicy Taco. These places don’t just get the order right—they serve food worth remembering and consistently earn 4.5 to 4.8-star ratings for a reason.

I got very sick via infection after eating here. It pains me to say it because I care about small businesses but the illness destabilized my digestion for months.

I ordered tacos with multiple different meats, rice, and beans. The tap water I drank from here tasted bad. The food itself, as I recall, tasted okay, though bland. It was a few months ago but this really stuck in my craw.

We went at a good time. Mother's Day, and it wasn't crowded. I have never been here but saw that it is near my neighborhood. I'm glad I went. We ordered the taco salad, shrimp soup, 3 steak taquitos, and a chicken taco.
All of it is bomb.com except the soup. It was too spicy for me. That's the only reason. It didn't say spicy anywhere on the menu, but there were plenty of shrimps and veggies.
It was only one person, in the entire restaurant 🙄 😒he was the cook, cashier, and waiter. But it was all good. I would definitely go again.

They stop opening up on time. They use to have a good Steak Taco but it started to have these rubbery bits in the Meat.
