I’ve been to Soccer Taco multiple times and usually love their food and atmosphere. But after tonight, I will never go back. This is the second time I’ve been served a salad with moldy produce—not just wilted or questionable, but actual mold. That’s not an accident; that’s negligence.
When I brought it to the manager’s attention, instead of taking responsibility, he repeatedly blamed the supplier—as if that excuses serving moldy food to customers. I made it clear that it never should have left the kitchen in that state, yet he kept deflecting. Eventually, the head chef was brought over and offered an apology, but by then, the damage was done.
As for how they "made it right"? They simply removed the inedible salad from the bill. No additional apology, no effort to regain my trust as a customer—just a shrug and a deleted charge for something I couldn’t eat. That kind of attitude tells me everything I need to know about how this place operates.
If a restaurant is willing to serve visibly molded food, what does that say about the rest of their kitchen standards? This isn’t just bad service; it’s a health hazard. I won’t be back, and I strongly suggest anyone who values basic food safety steer clear as well.

Soccer taco is part of our regular restaurant rotation. It can get crowded, and they don't take reservations, so keep that in mind -- it's usually better to go at off-times for dinner. Lunch on weekdays are fine. There's a lot of standard Mexican fare, but they do have some items you don't get much elsewhere -- our go-to's are the chipotle steak tacos and the mole chicken. Home run fajitas are reliable.

One of the best tamales around. Other choices are pretty much run of the mill Mexican American. Fair prices. Definitely a bar restaurant. It’s a decent weeknight dinner or lunch. Great for the occasional meal.
