“my gf and I came one Sunday for breakfast this month. we ordered the chilaquiles. To us the portions was a little small since we are used to sharing a chilaquiles plate with a extra side of eggs. the fact that rice didn't come with the chilaquiles was a bummer. The rice was cooked perfectly pero le falto sal. We ordered the guacamole y le falto sal y limon. for the price we paid for breakfast we expect perfect seasoning. I will still come back and introduce this place to new people. hopefully they aren't shy with the salt next time. the restaurant is beautiful 4/5”

“I just had the salmon entree and it’s to die for! The acidity of the tomatoes pairs very well with the fish and asparagus. I love that they don’t sit back on their laurels like the last tenant did. They keep pushing for new and flavorful additions to the menu. Fantastic job from every one of their team. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Seating is a little tight, but manageable. Slight issue with the sun blinding a person facing west in the afternoon. Margaritas were tasty and potent. Other beverages were very good as well. The food was delicious. I had the barbacoa quesadilla and it was delightful. One of our party had carne asada. It was prepared in a way that I had never experienced before with large potatoes. There's a little spice to this dish, but the flavor is good. My wife had chicken enchiladas, and she loved them. Service was a bit slow to start, but our server eventually got with the program. Update August 2026...Came for lunch. Wife order tacos (2 chicken & 1 barbacoa) and I had Mini Chimichangas with barbacoa. The barbacoa for both of us was good. Chicken in wife's tacos was dry. The creme' sauce was poured on my Chimichangas and came with wife's tacos. This sauce was very overpowering, and it is all I could taste. Two hours later, and I can't get rid of the taste in my mouth. So, order whatever you want because the only thing you will taste is that sauce.”

“I was curious about Taco Pros, so I decided to try the place, and even though I honestly wasn’t expecting much in the way of authenticity, I did order a Mexican (topped with onion and cilantro) taco 🌮 dinner and was pleasantly surprised, although their prices are more expensive than a taco truck and the beans were overcooked. Still an ok option if you’re in the area and in the mood for Mexican food”
