The name thru me for a loop for a sec but OMG!! Delicious! Not only are the tacos awesome, you get local brews here and amazing red velvet cake !! Watch your back Torcy's.

You really can't go wrong with any of their tacos- the Annatto Shredded Pork , Buffalo Chicken , Cuban Pig , Crisp Tikka Chicken , Texas Burger are great, as is the Red Velvet Cake .

Jamie Womack

Very unique tacos . The brunch tacos are served all day and they're a steal. much cheaper price for the same amount of delicious taco compared to the non bunch ones

Andres Novoa

Their vegetarian tacos were amazing! Two of them come in lettuce wraps though and I'd suggest asking for them in a tortilla instead. Chicken tikka is amazing as well !

Michael Nicholson

What can I say. This place is definitely a winner hands down. Multiple locations. When in Texas. Definitely make it a priority to stop in here.

Mukund Rao

Indo-mexican fusion tacos . The spicy tikka paneer and the red chutney coconut queso is a must try

Mary N

So many great options. I really loved the brisket and Monte Cristo tacos .

Fernando Covas

Great tacos , not too big like at Torchy's. The slow roasted brisket taco is so tender... The shrimp and grits taco is a good one, too.

Lisa K

The shrimp and grits taco is bomb! If you see the holy clucker taco special, get it! The margaritas are pretty good too.

Amanda Jones

Very inconsistent. Tacos can range from very good to outstanding. Spice-level also varies. In other words, you can't go wrong.

Pal A

Love the chicken tikka taco and the fish taco with the curry mayo . Awesome. Rotisserie corn is incredible as well .

Great, casual taco place originally from Dallas. Really wonderful team working behind the counter at this location.

Perfect taco portions and the elotes + fried paneer taco was awesome! $6.50 frozen ritas.

Had the 3,7,12....all were quite tasty. Good for a different take on tacos .

The hot sauce is killer on pretty much every taco ! And don't miss the queso !!

Chicken tikka taco and the tots with a fried egg ! Don't forget the hot sauce !

Olivia Yin

Try No.3 the spicy chicken is so good. No.12 is very tender too. Will not order 8 and 21 again.

Dave Turnbull

The brisket taco was undercooked and the cheese was fried on yhe outside. It was enough to make me puke on the spot

Leonie Ezegbunam

The shrimp and grits taco is amazing. Perfectly portioned and delecious.
