This was my first time at Taco Buddha. It was a great experience. The food was delicious. I liked the ordering at your table process. It is through the Toast App. Similar to ordering takeout with Toast. It was a nice surprise that I was able to use my birthday gift from Toast Rewards, shaving a few dollars off my bill. We were here to see our new grandson, whom we haven't seen for a little while. I ordered 3 tacos, the Nashville, the Cholula, and the Del Rio. The Cholula was the taco of the month. It was my favorite taco choice. This taco has smokey, braised, and shredded chicken tinga. The coitja cheese and citrus pickled red onions with cabbage and avocado round out this explosion of flavors to your mouth. We ordered the salsa roja and chips for the table. The roja sauce was very surprisingly flavorful, and the homemade chips only accented the sauce that much more. The food was hot and served quickly. If you have not tried Taco Buddha, you need to visit to treat yourself. You will not be disappointed.

My favorite taco place outside Colorado!!! Always choose here over any place else. Street corn is glorious and pay the .50 for it to be cut off the cob.

Had a great lunch at Taco Buddha in Kirkwood with a colleague. We sat outside, enjoying the perfect weather and the charming decor—it really sets a cool, laid-back vibe for a taco lunch.
We ordered from our phones, which was super easy. I went for The Galveston with NM Chile-Cajun Spiced Cauliflower and The California, both bursting with flavor and spice. My colleague had The Biloxi and The Jodhpur, and he also loved the fusion of flavors.
As for sides, we shared the Mexican Street Corn on the Cob, Fried Avocado, and Hatch Green Chile with chips—each one was a hit. Everything was so good.
All in all, Taco Buddha nailed it. Great food, cool atmosphere, and definitely a spot I’ll visit again!

Tacos are delicious and loaded. Filling is maybe twice what others toss in there and still keep flavors balanced and addictive.

Flavorful and fresh ingredients combined with generous portions of meat make this one of my top taco stops. I haven’t tasted a taco here that I didn’t like but the Nashville chicken taco is fantastic. If you don’t love it, there’s something wrong with you. Try this place and you’ll be hooked.

Food came out super super quick. Service was great, I asked if they had fountain soda and they apologized for not having it and the owner came out and gave me a free can from a local vender. Atmosphere is great and and very clean

Ordered a fairly large curb-side order for a client, service was great and everything was correct. Online order was very easy. I had a couple of the Taos, they were very good and larger than I expected (for "street" style tacos). I'll be back to try some more.

Taco Buddha is an absolute delight! From the moment you step inside, the vibrant décor and cozy ambiance make you feel welcomed and at ease. The food is nothing short of spectacular—each dish bursting with fresh, authentic flavors that truly satisfy. Every bite feels like a culinary adventure, and it's clear that a lot of care goes into both the preparation and presentation.

The atmosphere is lovely, perfect for a casual outing or a relaxed meal with friends. The service is friendly and attentive, making sure that every visit feels special.

The only small downside was the counter-ordering system. While it’s understandable for a casual spot, having to get up to order and pay separately for multiple drinks was a bit of an inconvenience. However, this minor detail hardly detracts from the overall experience, which was nothing short of wonderful.

We absolutely loved our time at Taco Buddha and will definitely be back soon!
