I've enjoyed my meal all four times. I have only used the drive thru, so I cannot comment on anything regarding the interior. The service has always been quick, even on my last trip when the line was almost to the street. I wasn't a fan of the horchata. It had an egg taste that I've never had with a horchata.
I've gone back four or five more times. It can be busy at lunch time. I still haven't been inside, but I have not been disappointed.

The Taco Joint is one of my favorite taco places in town! Reasonable prices and excellent food, it's my go-to when I need a quick taco fix. Online ordering and location makes it a great place to order when I need a quick lunch while working downtown.

I saw this place on Facebook and was soo excited to try it. The birria tacos are amazing. One of my favorite places to go now. Parking lot is set up a lil odd and there is seating outside. And one table inside. Which sucks but if your by yourself it's not too bad. Excited to try the birria pizza next time.
