“Ordered delivery for our first time because our son said that they were great. Young woman on phone was very nice and verified all items in order. Delivery was quite fast for it being dinner time and the young man was very nice.. The chimichangas are outrageous! The green sauce is great but the mole' is really great. The empandas come smothered and can be an entire meal on their own. Really good stuff. They even add seperate containers of rice and beans. This is a superior restaurant.“

“My wife and I hired them to do a food truck for after our wedding reception. 15/10 decision. The tacos were incredible esp the General Tso chicken and the bang shrimp tacos. Plus the leftovers that weren't served at the reception hall made great afterparty food. If you like tacos and want to give your late night party crowd a treat after a fun night, highly recommend Tacoholics!“

Beef Tacos Al Pastor

“I’ve ordered these fish tacos before and they were good. Saturday night 4/12/25 absolutely horrible. Dry over fried seemed left over. Seems like they were cooked for another order that wasn’t picked up. So they passed it on to me. I called and spoke to a lady named Pablino. She defended her position and said I would have to return them and they would do it again. Sorry no time for that. They basically said I was wrong they were right and she hung up after I said that a bad review was to follow. This is bad business. I’ve been there before and have recommended them. Now no way will I go there and all my recommendations will be negative and don’t ever try this place. It actually seems like it’s another failing business in town. Definitely seems like so many of these businesses nowadays just don’t care about the customer.
Anyway don’t waste your time or money. They just don’t care !!!!“

Good food overall. Our staples are the chowder, potato skins, and wings but have had their sandwhiches which have been good as well.“

“Excellent Customer service and the food was really good, tasted fresh, whoever rolled my burrito knew what they were doing. None of the food felt "thrown together", as is so common with fast food. But our food was excellent and the woman who took my order through the drive thru was very polite and kind.“
