Sandra
Sandra, the proper taco salad is as follows: Spinach, spring mixed, mixed seasoned beans, corn salsa, black beans, fresh pico when seasonally available otherwise salsa, Southwest sauce, crispy tortillas and green onions.
Lois
Lois sounds like a nice, sweet lady of a certain age. Fun fact, she's not. She's sassy, with all sorts of attitude, she brings the heat and doesn't apologize for it. Kinda like the naughty librarian. Spring lettuce - chipotle Adobe garbanzo beans - southwest sauce - fajita veggies- corn salsa - avocado chunk - fresh jalapeño. Salads don't have to be boring. Excite your taste buds!

It's simple. It's delicious. Show nature who's boss and consume a plant that looks like a Medieval weapon. Yes, chips come with it. What kind of people do you think we are?

Meet Keith. Keith is excited to be here. He's an older guy, but super cool. He'll try anything once, and doesn't call anywhere home. He's a bit of a rolling stone, if you will. Catch up with him while you can. No one knows when he's gonna be gone, now that Betty White left I'm a bit concerned for his welfare. #SaveKeef
Spike
"Spike is SPICY! Some people like the heat. Maybe it brings back fond memories of a warm summer day? Maybe they are just the type who enjoy a little bit of pain? Either way we have a nacho just for these individuals. Corn tortilla chips, shredded romaine and pepper jack queso are pretty standard and nothing to worry about. But then we turn it up a bit with ancho chile chicken, cayenne aioli, avocado salsa, pickled jalapenos, our house blend of pepper seasoning, black beans, queso fresco and pickled red onions.

Holy f'ing delicious. This eclectic, chic, artsy, semi-vulgar decorated and profoundly delicious taco shop stole my heart with food. The flavors are truly outstanding in every bite, every dip into a sauce... and their staff was so knowledgeable, friendly and went above and beyond to assist when I almost died from eating hotter than hell sauce I shouldn't have tried. 🫣 Dips & Chips | Clint / Elvis, the Elvis was my favorite - so much flavor! Tacos | Carnita...

Came from out of town for a show at Midland center for the arts and randomly choose a spot to grab lunch first and we couldn't have choose a better spot! Right away felt welcome and comfortable. The food was phenomenal and we received a lot of helpful recommendations from the staff. We are now including them in our dinner date restaurants.

I’ve had Proper Taco more than a few times now—in their Midland restaurant, catered twice, and from their food truck at an event. The food is fantastic! I loved checking out the restaurant’s merch as well— it’s a unique place that always delivers good service and delicious food.
