Taco Restaurant · Uptown-Galleria · 4 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: The crispy shrimp tacos are addictive, and so is the braised short ribs. A little queso, a little watermelon ceviche, then a bowl of queso to balance it out. Get a pineapple jalapeno margarita too.
George Fotopoulos: Give it shot. Nice crowd
Emily Smith: The fajitas come with cheese quesadillas which are actually your tortillas for the fajitas. If you want regular tortillas just ask.
Ryan Stephens: Braised short rib sandwich is a 5/5. Unique burgers, a solid beer list and a nice patio make this a solid pub destination.
Sean Lackey: El Chi to burger, Korean short rib tacos, Thai chili wings
Rick Luckett: $8 bruch menu, awesome good!!!
