I’m leaving a one star review because I came in last night alone around 11:10 PM. I told the person working I wanted a table for four, the man told me he could not seat me until the rest of my party arrived. I told him it was ridiculous that I would have to stand when half the place is empty, he then told me it was the manager’s policy and that he could get in trouble… Curious as to why I was told when it doesn’t matter to me in the slightest, but I digress. I politely demanded to speak with a manager. Suddenly I could be seated and the manager made an exception this one time. I was also ID’d at the door despite this being a restaurant but ok, the food and the drinks were great. The ridiculousness of being told I had to stand when half the tables were empty left a bad taste in my mouth and i’m writing this review to highlight that.

today was my first time at dirty taco and I would definitely go back! the service was fast and friendly and the food really good, I want to start with the fry job, the shrimp on my Vietnamese shrimp taco was perfectly fried, the tater tots in my loaded tatchos perfectly fried! I heard the crisp on the chicken from my moms plate so one thing I can say is they know how to fry! the plantains were also expertly fried ! the server Jill made great suggestions and really knew the menu also the food was very flavorful, highlight bites were definitely the tacos , the salmon was Blackened not burnt, perfectly cooked and disguised as Blackened and the sauce on the shrimp was warm and subtly sweet and again with that 5 star crunch I had their paloma which is made with 818 and san pellegrino blood orange soda and it was mixed well so shoutout to the bar! great job DT patch! wish i took more pictures 😩

If you want delicious tacos. This is the place! I am a very picky eater, so when I say the tacos are very tasty, I mean it. Both occasions I visited I had carry- out. Atmosphere was relaxed and patrons appeared to be enjoying themselves.

My wife and I have been loyal regulars at Dirty Taco for over three years now—and it only gets better with time. Whether it’s a laid-back Sunday brunch or a lively weekend evening, this place has a magnetic energy that keeps us coming back week after week.

From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warmth and personality. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between energetic and easygoing—think buzzing conversation, good music, and that unmistakable sense that everyone is genuinely enjoying themselves.

Let’s talk about the food and drinks—absolutely fantastic. The menu is creative, consistently delicious, and impressively affordable. Every taco bursts with bold flavor, and the cocktails? Let’s just say we’ve never had a bad one here. It’s rare to find a spot where you can eat and drink this well without breaking the bank.

But what truly sets Dirty Taco apart is the staff, who feel more like family at this point. Will, the manager, is an absolute gem—friendly, talkative, and genuinely fun to be around. His presence alone elevates the experience every time. Ivan, the bar manager, runs a tight ship with consistently excellent service and drinks.

Danielle is the heart of our Sunday brunch tradition—her service, personality, and charm keep us coming back without fail. Grace brings that same level of excellence on the weekends, with top-tier bartending and a fantastic vibe. And Jill, our favorite server, is a true delight—welcoming, attentive, and always wearing a smile.

At Dirty Taco, you don’t just get a meal—you get an experience. It’s a neighborhood staple, a comfort zone, and a go-to celebration spot all in one. Five stars, every time. If you haven’t been here yet, what are you waiting for?

Pro Tip: Don’t miss brunch with Danielle on Sundays—it’s the best way to wrap up the week.

We came to Dirty Taco to celebrate my significant other’s birthday, mainly so the staff could sing to him. After dinner, we asked — but were told you were too busy and maybe “next time.” That was very disappointing, especially since this was the whole reason we chose your restaurant.

Had we known you weren’t doing birthday celebrations, we would’ve gone elsewhere. There are plenty of places nearby that would have made the night special. I felt embarrassed and regret choosing Dirty Taco for such an important occasion.

Please consider letting guests know ahead of time if you’re not able to accommodate things like this.
