I can’t get over the major changes the new owners have made. This used to be an excellent taco spot, great service and staff, and somewhat affordable. Nothing on the menu reflects the original intention or vibe of ‘The Daisy’ at all. The new owners are basically operating under the glorious online reputation of the original establishment without honoring the original intent of the business.

I see the other positive reviews and I wonder if I went to the same place. We were visiting our daughter and went here on one of her friends recommendation. The service was absolutely terrible and the food was mid at best. It took 25 minutes for our food to START coming out and I emphasize start. My daughter's boyfriend's food came out first then six minutes later my daughter's food, five more minutes passed until mine came out then another five minutes for my wife's food totaling sixteen minutes between first and last plate. Nothing from the waitstaff except a brief 'oh yeah, sorry', our waitress didn't come back to see how our food was, didn't see if we wanted more drinks. I got the chicken sandwich which was... fine. Better than fastfood but absolutely nothing special, my wife got the French dip special and it was terrible. The meat was supposed to be filet mignon (it wasn't) it was incredibly gamey, and the au jus tasted like boxed beef stock with a ton of extra salt. Overall I feel like this place is very much style over substance, if you want to take a cute IG shot then it's probably for you, otherwise there is better food/service around.

The tacos are some of the best fusion style food I’ve had in the capital district. Very very good.
Kid-friendliness: The wait staff was very kind and understanding concerning our time constraints to see a a performance at the Cohoes Music Hall.

Four of us visited the other night. Disappointing after reading all the rave reviews. All the shrimp tacos were so soggy you couldn't pick up the tortilla. Had to ask for a fork to eat the shrimp filling, which consisted of about three small shrimp per taco. Bulgogi & chicken tacos were nice but also seemed overpriced at $14 for two tacos. Chips & guac and the drinks were fine but nothing special. Margarita had very little tequila. Service was pleasant and efficient. Happy to have supported a local business but $165 for 8 tacos, one order of chips&guac, a couple of beers and a margarita is excessive.

The food here is top notch. The service here is even better. Can't say a bad thing about this place. Margaritas are good too! Price isn't bad either. I plan to try every taco they have.

The Daisy is a cute chic taco and margarita place. The tacos are fusion, they have a bulgogi one with kimchi and a fried chicken and a coconut shrimp one plus others. Not authentic Mexican tacos but stills delicious. Classy place.The margaritas are strong! I saw a sign for buy one get one margaritas on Wednesdays. They have a decent amount of tables even though it’s a small place, there is a back room with more tables.The servers were attentive and friendly.The coconut margarita was creamy and I liked the coconut shreds on the rim. Margaritas and tacos are all around $13. Tacos come with 2. Bill can definitely add up but it’s worth it. Great environment to catch up with friends.The chip appetizer with pico de gallo was delicious. The chips had a great crisp, they tasted deep fried. Perfectly salted. I liked my coconut shrimp tacos the best. 2 big meaty shrimp in each taco, crunchy and cooked well and the pineapple in it gave it a nice sweetness. The fried chicken tacos were a mix of dark and light meat chunks, which were very tender and soft. Though a bit too soft for my likening of chicken texture. And the sauce has a very strong cilantro flavor.If I’m in the area again I would love to come back and try other tacos and margarita flavors!
The menu is limited, but the quality of the tacos is outstanding. The atmosphere is cozy and an all-around great place.

We ordered 4 different tacos to share and they were all fantastic- my favorite was the Beef Bulgogi taco. Delish margs, coconut was the best! Friendly, efficient staff.

I realize it is a small place. Service was good, not a big variety of food and the menu was small and the print was very small and hard to read. My drink was good too!
