This small but mighty establishment in University City cannot be missed. The menu is an innovative mix of multiple cuisines presented in the humblest of formats; the taco. Order from your phone or at the counter.

The chips and queso were great. The queso was especially good with the just the right amount of heat.

Tried the special taco; ā€œthe Busanā€, which was very flavorful. The chicken was juicy and had an excellent umami- smoky taste.

Others in my group got the salad and the quesadilla. Two thumbs up from everyone.

The vibe is decidedly casual with mostly outdoor seating. The service was excellent. Cool, approachable, knowledgeable and most importantly, unobtrusive.

Parking is limited. There is a small lot in the back. Street parking is hit or miss.

Can’t wait to come back to try the rest of the menu.

First time here ever! The customer service was top tier and oh so friendly! The lovely hostess who took my order was so insightful when I asked what their faves were on the menu! I knew I wanted the Pozole and it didn’t disappoint! So flavorful! I wanted to try a couple of the fusion tacos as well. Had to have strength and drive home without tearing into everything šŸ˜‚. The tacos are so generously stuffed that I couldn’t fit them into my taco holders lol. 10/10 recommend!

I eat here as often as I can. I’m GF and it’s sooo nice to be able to order everything on a menu!! Not to mention have fried foods again. The flavors are great, quality is great and price is great. Both locations are so cute and they also have cocktails. I don’t know what else you could want!

Every time I go, it does not disappoint. All the food is a great size, and full of flavor! I love this place!

This place is A-MAZING! I came here a few times before to dine in but the wait is always ridiculous. I understand why now. The food is so packed with flavor and the way they wrap your order to go and put care and love into it just impresses me. You won't regret ordering from here.

Edit: Please don't ever get rid of "The Busan" it's soooooo good and has become one of my new favorites!!

I really like this place and the food! My only problem is there is basically no service. You order your own food and get your own water. Everyone and the staff are very polite but it’s kinda a hassle to get their attention if something if up with your order. Despite the hiccup I would still order here again!

Did a curbside pickup (and bulk order) for a work lunch. The food was delish, everything was packaged well and clearly labeled, on time — and everyone I talked to was super friendly. 5 stars all around!

Food was not as I had hoped based on pass reviews from other patrons. I got the Nashville and the del Rio, the Nashville was good but lacked flavor, the del Rio was a huge disappointment, I’m a big brisket fan, and I was very disappointed when I took a bite of the del Rio and found that it was over cooked and dry with no flavor whatsoever. My suggestion would be to season more on the brisket and cook longer at a lower heat to preserve the flavor, and don’t cut it up keep it in slices. I hope this helps improve the quality, I do wish to give another try and hope that I can remove this post at a later date.

I really enjoyed the food at Taco Buddha. The tacos were flavorful and very satisfying. I enjoyed the Nashville and the Baja taco. Both were loaded with meat and generous toppings. They were also fresh and tasty. My absolute favorite was the Hatch green chili quest. When I say the yummiest queso I've ever had! I'm not exaggerating! Perfectly spicy and flavorful. I strongly suggest giving it a try. I also had the street corn. It was tasty as well. I will definitely be going back for more.
