Pretty straightforward, build your own taco, burrito, and maybe bowl, too? I didn't see. I ordered at the in person register. Then I saw there was a computer screen where I think you can also order. I probably should have done that because they did get my order wrong. Nothing crazy just asked for specific topping for each meat choice, and it was mixed up. And I was going to buy a drink but before I said something I was given my total. I also ordered guacamole 🔥🔥 really good! It was a shame the chips weren't too fresh. The first taco I ordered was shrimp with Pico ( but they put cilantro and onion), still a 5/5 and it went amazing with the spicy pineapple sauce. That was a winner! I still want to try it with the kimchi lime or Pico. 2nd taco was steak with cilantro and onion , I wasn't a fan of the meat. 2/5. 3rd taco was chicken. It had cilantro and onion, but I asked for the Pico on this one. Chicken was good, but you need to find the right toppings for it. 4/5 Over all 3/5. guacamole and shrimp taco saved this place for me. I won't be rushing back, but this is a good note to try things with different toppings next time. I think they should have a signature taco for each meat that people can pick from. Designing your own taco is cool, but having a go-to pick would help people fall in love with different items. Even having a taco of the day special. And for sure, chip and guacamole special so that more chips are getting ordered before they get stale. Gotta move product faster or order less inventory at a time. Price wise, I think it's automatic dollar too much for a taco. This place is right across the street from a university and on a busy street. There SOOO much potential with this place. Just gotta market and add a few things. Maybe even a student discount. This place is also in walking distance of thousands of potential customers, cheap beer might be a good add to this place. Aside from that, the place seem low key. And can seat like 15-20 people. It looks like they have room for outside seating. It's also on a corner, so I'd take advantage of that if they are able to. Next time im in town, I'll check out reviews and see if any changes have been made. So I might stop by again in the future to do a new review. Low rating isn't to say avoid this place. it's for the owners to make a few changes. Taco spots should be 5/5 every time.

We got the build your own burrito and the loaded quesadilla. We got the pineapple sauce and the cream sauce. The burrito was supposed to have chicken but it seemed that both had tofu. The biggest difference between the two items was the burrito had rice and the quesadilla had a lot of cheese. Both were well seasoned and mixing in the sauce gave some variety in the bites.

This place has the bones to be a fantastic neighborhood spot, they have generous portions, fresh ingredients, and creative mixes; but they just aren’t quite there because they don’t season everything so sometimes it doesn’t quite come together. For example, mixing some salt, pepper, and fresh herbs into the rice would take everything to the next level, but often the food is under salted. I love this place in concept!! Edit: the food flavor got better but I sadly got food poisoning the last time I went so I don’t think I can endorse anymore 😔

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Far East Taco, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful, especially when I needed a taco platter for guests we were hosting for dinner. They went above and beyond by separating the tacos so everyone could customize them to their liking. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered shrimp, steak, and chicken tacos, and every single one was delicious. The guacamole was a standout – made from scratch and bursting with fresh flavor. The rice was fluffy and soft, complementing the tacos perfectly. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming and vibrant, adding to the overall fantastic dining experience. I will definitely be back. Not to mention, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. They're doing something right here at Far East Taco, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

Ordered from Uber Eats. The food tastes good, but it is swimming in oil. Oil was covering the bag and containers. Pictures provided. I ended up throwing the quesadilla away. Ate two tacos and realized my hand was drenched in oil. Both had spicy chicken, so I'm not sure why the heavy oil was needed.

This was really good in my opinion. The tacos were full, with ingredients falling out. The protein was cooked to a point that maintained their flavor and juices. The toppings offerings are plentiful and the sauces are delicious. The service was friendly and made it delightful to be there. It is not a spacious location, but you can sit in the window, or there are tables for small parties and one bench seating for you and several friends. Parking in the neighborhood is hit or miss, but it's the only option. It sits on Florida Ave, directly across from Gallaudet University. But regardless, of parking, it's worth the trip. We had the spicy chicken, spicy pork, corn dog, tres leches, and soy garlic chicken. I would order any one of those again!

Food was really good, an interesting fusion of flavors and cuisines. Didn't have to wait too long for it and the atmosphere is cool. Music was a bit loud but not over bearing.

If I could eat here everyday I would. This little corner restaurant that's so easy to miss if you aren't tooling for it really brings the flavor with their Asian twist to Tex-Mex. I always order takeout which is pretty easy through toast. The wait time is always a few minutes more than what they tell you which is not a problem. My favorite dish is the kimchi fries. I usually don't get the egg or add any protein but I heard it takes it to another level! You can't go wrong with the Tex-Mex egg rolls and I enjoy their spicy chicken burritos with fresco and pico de gallo toppings.

We came here for tacos right before our night tour of D.C. It's a small corner place, near Gallaudet University. Once we got in, there was an iPad set up where we could order through there or we could order from the counter. The ladies in there were NOT friendly at all. Clearly we were not from there, but they treated us so rudely. They didn't greet us, and they just spoke in Spanish ignoring us. We didn't pay much attention to it, but when we asked if there was a bathroom or somewhere close we could go, they shrugged us off, raised their voices, and just said no bathroom, don't know where you can go, but not here. They were pretty rude about it, and didn't even offer to recommend a place close by. Anyway, the food. Considering that they got my whole order wrong and didn't even put the things on it that I ordered, my tacos tasted really good. So obviously the stars are for the service. I put in my order for salsa, sour cream, and some other stuff, but I didn't even get any of those things in it. They didn't even say if they had it or ran out. So I was left clueless. I didn't realize it till later bc it was a take out also. But I mean food was good still. Inside was small, only like 3 tables available, and the menu is simple to order from. The lighting was fine. Walls are black inside so it did add some dark to it. Anyway, service was like a 1 star, food was like a 3 star for my incorrect order, and the place itself is like a 3 star.

After my husband finished eating his tacos, he said, "this food did something to me." Everything was amazing, and I can't wait to come back and try more. I had the shrimp tacos with salsa Roja and kimchi lime. My husband had the spicy grilled pork with salsa Verde and Pico de Gallo.

I've been to Far East Taco Grille once before, but I don't remember it being so good. I got the Chicken Rumble Fries and they were great!! Now, I've got to find reasons to get to that side of town more often!!

Amazing food. Cooked very well with a lot of flavor. Small little business but really great setting. Service is amazing, very friendly and even remember my order and name from a previous visit! Definitely would recommend to anyone! Only thing that could make it better is if they served alcohol/beer!

The tacos are pretty good but I have to take off stars because they always get my order wrong. If I pay for something, I expect it to be what I asked for. How can you omit stuff when it's ordered online? It's simple reading! This has happened multiple times and unfortunately I am not going to return due to this matter.

The tacos are good, as is the quality. But they use a little too much sauce on top that it ends up being a bit too messy. Also, much of the menu is spicy-centric, which isn't good for the spice-averse (me). I'd need to go back for a second opinion and see if I can modify my order better.

This spot is a hidden gem in noma. It's a small cafe style restaurant that specializes in fast casual. My boyfriend and I stopped in and got corn some tacos and a burrito bowl. The corn was out of this world and the bowl I ordered hit every spot I didn't know I had! The food is fresh and well seasoned, I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

So I have to update my review as FETG has changed a bit over the past few years. Still one of my favorites but it's annoying that the menu keeps updating and I can't always keep up. With that said, I've been embarrassed a few times enough trying to order something no longer on their menu. Well with our current lifestyle of quarantining, I'm happy to at least see they are open, in business, and on DoorDash! You never know which restaurants will go out of business with these unprecedented times. If you read my old review, disregard some of the items on there as they no longer exist. Also, note that prices on DoorDash may be higher than their in-store menu. One item I love that has stayed on their menu time after time with every single update is the Tex-Mex Eggrolls. Though size and pricing have changed here and there, I'm happy to see that it still exists - unlike many of their original menu options, even their first location. Okay so if you like Texmex flavors and Asian flavors, FETG is still one of the best when it comes to fusion. Support them and give them a try. You never know what you try may not be there in the future.

Delightful combination of favours and very generous with their fillings. Another shell for the tacos would have done the trick to support its topping. Their take on korean-Mexican poutine was extremely satisfying and comforting.

Love these tacos, they are truly the best and most unique in the DMV (that I have tried). They have so many flavorful topped and sauces, unlike most places that just offer lettuce onion and cheese. However, I had to take a star off for the consistently awful service. First, there is a lack of organization as far as how to pick up take out orders. Even if you got an email that your food is ready, you have to wait in the same lane as those ordering, and the line is always long! Also, we have gotten the wrong order on several occasions which is super frustrating, especially since I live so darn far away. So to summarize, amazing food and I wish they had more locations BUT the current location has a lot of room for improvement.

Absolutely delicious and superrrr unique food! Far East Taco's menu is a tasty fusion of Mexican and Asian-inspired flavors, with plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. The build-your-own process allows diners to customize their rice bowls, tacos, quesadillas, and other options to preference. I got a rice bowl with crispy tofu, mushrooms, lots of other veggies and three kinds of tangy, creamy sauces with crispy fried onions on top. The bowl was so good, the service was fast and unfussy, the price for the quantity was great as well - I would absolutely come here again.

Who knew I was a Asian Mexican taco fusion fan? After coming to FETG regularly for over a year, I am for sure. The decor is like any number of taco places I have been to in East LA. Spartan with a few tables and place to grub but mostly catering to a carry it out type of customer. The magic of this place happens in the kitchen. Build your own menu depending on what you are in the mood for. Start with proteins. I am partial to steak and chicken. Each is marinated for hours and cooked to perfection on a grill and/or griddle. The steak is world class to me. Would that they offered a full size steak as an entrée. I do not eat pork but for those who dabble in the other white meat they have three types: spicy chorizo, pork belly, and spicy pork. Also, vegetarians will feel welcome with very good choices of grilled mushrooms or a well made tofu. Me and those who are Pescatarians will love the fish and shrimp options. Both are solid on flavor and a good choice for Lenten fish Fridays. The proteins are served over or in five choices of meals: 1) tacos; 2) bowl; 3) burritos, 4) quesadillas; and, 5) organic salad. I typically go with the bowl. Like Chipotle but super charged in flavor and execution. The next options are where FETG crosses the river Jordan from great into sublime. You get to choose a "style" where the Asian/Mexican fusion occurs. There are eight choices and the descriptions on the menu are spot on and easy to imagine how each would taste. I go Grilles Sensation (grilled onion and zucchini, mozzarella, fried onion flakes), Fresco (lettuce, jack and cheddar, and lime-crema), and Banh Mi Craze (pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeños, and cilantro). Next are the sauces which you can add as many as you like. The Sweet #15 and spicy mayotta are my picks. All the various styles and sauces just go together. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Finally, I top it off with avocado for a buck more and then I squeeze lime juice from the free limes in the front of the shop. Just a perfect fusion meal without being fussy. Other Yelpers have reviewed the remaining items like chicken poutine fries and Bibimbap. I have yet to try them because I am addicted to the create your own bowl section. The prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food. The customer service is very kind and very quick. The website is so well designed that even if you did not know anything about the items you will get a good idea or two. You can order online and I am sure UberEats or Doordash will deliver to you. Five stars and deserving of more. [Yelp Review #105]

3.5/5 I went at 1pm on a Saturday. It wasn't busy at all. Food overall was good. Worth a visit if you are around, I wouldn't go out of your way though. Menu is fast casual style where you get to build your own meal. I don't think I picked the best combos and probably would have had a better experience if there were recommended combinations available to pick from. I got fish tacos original spice with salsa roja, mango salsa. I really liked the fish and the batter! I would probably recommend Baja style and take mayonnaise instead of the salsa roja. I also got grilled pork belly rice bowl, spicy, salsa verde, kimchi. Their "spicy" seemed to be just extra black pepper. I didn't love their pork either. It was dry, maybe over cooked and not enough fat to be pork belly that I expected. I would not recommend the pork. Elote, I enjoyed it but it was very rich and don't think I could finish an entire one myself. It was a little different. I think they used sriracha mayo with lime? Plenty of cheese I wished they had more of the typical Mexican chilli mix. They got forgot my coke and didn't ring it up. Miscommunication there. They made our order to go even though we wanted it dine in. That was communicated properly (on the receipt). So we produced a bit more waste than I would have liked.

A cheap and delicious place to get dinner if you are in the mood for tacos. If you can only get one thing, I would definitely go for the chicken poutine fries ($8.50). The fries are sooo crispy, even the ones at the bottom of the bowl with all the sauce! Crispy down to the last fry, which was very impressive. The fries come smothered with grilled chicken (a generous portion), 4 types of cheese (Monterey back, cheddar, mozzarella and queso duro), their house special #15 sauce, lime creme and scallions. Yum. One order is enough for 3 or 4 to share as an appetizer, or for 2 to share as a main dish. Tacos are $2.75 each, or 3 for $8.25 (which you would think includes a special discount, but it still comes out to $2.75 per taco), which is a great deal. You have a choice of 4 proteins: powerful steak (25 cents more), bang tang chicken, spicy flying pig and hot spicy tofu. We tried everything except the tofu and they were all good. The pork was my favorite. Sauces range from sweet and mild to hot. The mango habanera was quite spicy! Try the pineapple one. Then there are a bunch of toppings that you can add. Overall, I thought the tacos were good and reasonably priced, but I wouldn't get them again considering how many other things are on the menu. There were just so many flavors mixed together that it was a little overwhelming. Next time, I will be sure to try the fish or shrimp tacos (2 for $8.50), Kimchi fries and the texmex egg rolls! No private lot, but street parking is pretty easy to find. Lots of seating inside, and service is friendly and quick! Located right by union market. Check it out!

They use to have the best fish tacos but not within the past week the quality of the fish they use is thin frozen breaded fish cut into squares .

The service was great, the music was great, and I had the fried dumplings! Honestly I've never tasted any dumplings that can even compare to how good those were. They were cooked to perfection and the sauce added a perfect hint of sweetness to bring the dish together! I wanted to take a picture but I ate them all before I realized it!

I was hungry and came here for lunch at the Gallery Place food truck spot. Decided to go with their recommendation menu. You have to write what you want on a piece of paper and give it to them. The tacos came out in 5-10 mins (wasn't a line when I got there so I was lucky). The presentation was great and the tacos looked like they could be eaten without making a mess. Once back in the office, I ate each taco quiet quickly. My favorite one was the one in the middle with corn but I forget what protein was in it (could've been chicken, beef, or pork since those are the ones I chose). Regardless, they all tasted good so I would recommend their recommendation menu.

If you need a break from your standard taco, try Far East Taco Grill. It's Korean and Mexican fusion. In concept, it's set up like a fast casual restaurant where you pick between a bowl, burrito, etc. and then move to picking a meat, toppings, dressings, etc. Their tacos are $2.50 or so and not small so if you need a snack, go with that. The bowls are really good too and make you feel like you're eating something slightly more healthy. Kimchi fries- stay away. It sound good, but are too much. Always pick the bulgogi or spicy pork for the meat!

I thought that this spot was just another one of those swanky new places that are riddled throughout the city, and it wouldn't last long. Especially on a main thoroughfare like the N.E. side of Florida Ave. But hold up, this eatery has been there for a minute now, and I was always curious about it. So I finally stopped at 535 Florida Ave., N.E. Washington D.C. @fareasttacogrille !! I have to be honest here...I didn't expect much...I was WRONG!! This establishment has a really dope Asian/Latino food fusion with menu items like their Quesadilla that has Chorizo Picante, and/or Spicy Octopus as a protein option!! Wow!! They also have burritos, rice bowls, salads, Kimchi (Korean fermented and spiced vegetables) fries, jalapeño poppers, Mandu (a meat, or vegetable filled dumpling that can be fried, boiled, baked, or steamed) dumplings, and chicken wings!! On this trip I copped their Chicken Cool Wrap (pictured-with grilled chicken, lettuce, red bell pepper, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, in a tortilla with the Chef's special sauce $9.50). Smack Smack...STAMP...excellent!! This wrap qualifies for BIG SCHLIMS LITE POCKET MEALS...and it's worth it. I crushed, it was truly that good!! Next up was their Elote (pictured-buttered, smothered with Yum Yum sauce, topped with cotija cheese, and sprinkled with chili lime seasoning $4.95). Now many places has this popularized item. But not with the good Yum Yum on it!! Another STAMP from me!! Lastly was their 3 mixed Taco option (pictured-a spicy chicken, a chorizo picante, and a sliced ribeye steak on corn tortillas, all topped with a splash of lime, fresh corn, black beans, pico de Gallo, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, Korean bbq, fried onion flakes, and spicy mayo-$11.95). Now I thought I over did it with the plethora of topping options they have. I didn't. These tacos were EVERYTHING!! So...STAMP these too!! The whole meal was bomb!! Customer service was on point, parking was difficult because you have to park on a side street. The establishment was clean. Go!! No disappointment here. Trust. That's it. #tacos #elotes #burritos #deliciousness #bigschlimsreviews #fareasttacogrille #litepocketmeals #goodeats #washingtondc #foodie #musthaves #affordable #chicken #chorizo #steak #fusion #tryit #trust #thatsit

Nice little gourmet taco place. I like the options it has as far as toppings, sauces, combinations etc. Never fails. Price can be eh sometimes, but its definitely a good TREAT YO SELF. You an order online and pick up. You have to pay for extra sauce which can be annoying when sometimes you feel like there wasn't enough sauce on it to be with. Definitely enjoy this place-not to far from H street. Im really sad that they took away the mushroom tacos. Bring them back!

Absolutely love this place! I once ate here 3 times in one week. Great prices for authentic taste and quality food. Made to order, fresh and hot tacos. I love to get fish and shrimp tacos. I always try a new combination of salsas, toppings, and sauces. Wait time can vary. Always worthwhile though!

Spent 50$ here just for my stomach to hurt the next 3 days. I've never been so dissatisfied with food in my life. Everything is just thrown together. They don't have real limes, and if you're looking for authentic Mexican food look elsewhere. Everything tastes like lime squeeze bottles. No hot sauce or good salsa. I'm Mexican, and from Chihuahua, Mexico so I know good Mexican food when I taste it. Go anywhere else. I was SO DISSAPOINTED. Over priced, and under satisfactory. What a waste of time.

I have walked by Far East Taco Grille many times and each time I think "oh yeah I should go there!" Well, I finally acted on my thoughts and yeah, I've been missing out. I took my family since they were staying close by, and we got the fish tacos and two custom bowls. My dad thought the fish tacos were really good, which is high prize from a Southern Californian! We also got two customized bowls, which are basically the same idea as Chipotle, but Asian fusion instead. Both bowls were delicious and the quantity of food was great for the price! My mom got a chicken bowl with guacamole (plus other stuff I frankly don't remember), which was very good. I got the bowl with garlic tofu (yum), the KBBQ sauce (delish), fresco style (very fresh), and added black beans and those little crunchy onion things. Soooo good! I think I will need to go back at some point too, because there were multiple things on their set menu that looked delicious, especially anything on French fries! The interior was simple, but fun vibes and the food was made pretty quickly. Also shoutout to the sweet cashier gal - my dad left his backpack in the restaurant and we realized about 10 minutes after we left. We called and she kindly held the backpack until my dad ran back!

This was my first time going on the recommendation of a friend. It was just ok. They use parboiled rice in the rice and beans, which seems sacrilegious considering this is Korean fusion. The black beans were dry dry. I got the spicy chicken and beer battered tacos Both were overcooked, but the chicken was well-seasoned, and the toppings and sauces were tasty. A woman also came in without a mask and was still served, and allowed to wait for her food. The woman on the register was friendly, so that is a plus.

I just finished eating and I could barely breathe but felt compelled to write this review. I am generally skeptical of fusion tacos, because I'm a keep it simple and original kind of gal, BUT these tacos were amazing. We ordered the steak, chorizo and pork belly tacos. I can't decide which one is my favorite. Each of the protein options were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The toppings were fresh and they offer a variety of different style options. Delivery was fast and the food was hot. We also ordered the Tex-mex egg rolls which probably put me over the top and in my current food coma. The egg rolls were crispy and delicious, kind of like a mini fried burrito. Prices are very reasonable, I found that the tacos were larger than the tacos I am accustomed to. 3 for $9, can't go wrong. I'm glad this place is so close to me, will definitely stop by to get my taco fix in the future.

Oh. My. Lort. This place was around the corner from where we were staying on holiday, so we took the short stroll here to try them. Now that I know how delicious and fresh the food is, I'd walk ten more blocks to get here. I had the combo: flour tortilla with mushroom, corn with spicy pork, and flour with chicken. Two were dressed fresco and one was pico de gallo. I also selected the salsa verde, which is a creamy and spicy tomatillo sauce. The flavors were clean and amazing, and the portions were filling without being overdone. Super find for the first day of our trip!

My husband and I live near the Far East Taco Grille on 15th Street and walked there the other night to find it closed (anyone know the hours there, it said open on Yelp). But we had taco on the brain/stomach so we had to go to this location. And I am so glad we did! It was a quiet night, no one was in line or inside when we arrived. I went with the steak rice bowl with fajita volcano and fresco toppings and the Sweet #15 sauce. YUM. The steak was cut up in small pieces and cooked very well. The rice was delish and the veggies and toppings made it sooo yummy. The sauce was a little bit sweet, which I liked, and so I added a bit of Siracha and I was good to go! My husband had the shrimp tacos with the mango habanera and the mango fiesta. He really enjoyed the tacos as well but told me he would prefer the steak next time as he liked how cooked they were and said the flavor was better. Overall, we were very pleased that we went and will definitely come back!

My food was delicious! I will definitely become a regular customer. I've heard so many good things about Far East Taco Grill and I'm glad I decided to finally check it out. Once I receive my food. I was in a rush to sit down and try it. I was hungry! Have you ever taste your food while walking to find a seat? I'm guilty lol. The Bowl was flavorful with every bite. It was the perfect blend of seasoning. I was impressed! Menu: Build your own Bowl Protein: Chicken 6 free Toppings: Rice, Black beans, Lettuce, Corn, jack & Cheddar Cheese, Red Onions Add $1 extra for Avocado. Sauce: Mango Habanera (Sweet & Hot) :) Good food, Bold flavors, big portion size, quick service, friendly staff, Clean restaurant! P.S If you like fusions this is a good local business. The location is small but you won't be disappointed.

This place is THE BEST!!! The people are so friendly and personable and those tacos.. WOW! They make some of the most delicious tacos I've ever had. You want good tacos with a bit of variation for a fair price? Go here. End of story. Been here twice and I plan to go plenty of more times!

Excellent taco spot for a quick bite. We stopped in on Friday around 8 PM and there were a few people coming in and out, but no wait. I ordered the chicken mango fiesta taco, the tofu volcano fajita taco, and the mushroom wild Mexican taco. Everything was very well flavored and the portion size was perfect. My favorite was the tofu taco - the tofu itself was super tasty and the volcano fajita components were great. The salsas were also a great addition. I loved the mango salsa, it is definitely on the sweeter side. The medium salsas were a little on the spicy side but still delicious. I would get the salsas on the side instead of on the tacos themselves to be able to adjust spice accordingly. Would recommend this place for take out rather than dine-in. We decided to dine-in and there were several mosquitos flying around which was a little frustrating while we were trying to eat. Overall, awesome food, quick service, and friendly staff. Will be back on my next trip to DC!

My birthday is tomorrow (4/15). Tonight I was feeling a bit hangry and sad that "The Rona" basically said "no birthday for you this year" so I decided to treat myself to a quesadilla and Tex Mex egg rolls from FET via UberEats (along with some 7-11 ice cream) because hey you only turn 31 tomorrow once, amirite?! Anyways, the steak quesadilla was A1. The Tex Mex egg rolls not so much mostly because they forgot to put them in my bag :(. However, that may of been a blessing in disguise as the quesadilla was larger than I expected and I'm also not trying to end enter Summer 2020 *crosses fingers* with the Quarantine 15.

Went on an evening stroll and stumbled upon this spot. The name sounded super familiar so I decided to check out the menu. I ended up getting the kimchi fries which were fireeeee. It's one of those comfort foods that you have after a mentally draining day and then all of the sudden everything is fine. You're probably wondering why I gave 4 out of 5? The only negative I have was because my fries were kind of lukewarm and not hot/super fresh. All in all I would get them again and again

Wasn't impressed with this food truck. After seeing it around for some time I figured I'd finally try it. I ordered the chicken bowl and it was just ok - not a truck I'd try again to be honest. The ingredients weren't fresh and for the price, not worth it!

This was my first visit to the restaurant. The service was okay. The staff were not very friendly and the cashier didn't offer me a receipt. I didn't mind too much at first but when I got my food, I wondered if she rang up my order correctly and would have liked to check my receipt. The actual food was a promising concept but tasted average. I wouldn't get the fries again but maybe the tacos are better? I may or may not go again.

Lately I've been eating here once a week. It's actually a problem . This is definitely one of my favorite places to get takeout in the whole city. Everything is customizable and the combinations of flavors are really unique.

One of the best-tasting taco joints I have ever had. I don't know much about this place. I have never been to the establishment, I have only ordered them on doordash. Each time, I ate the food too quickly to take pictures to post. The ordering scheme on doordash is whacky so I told them to just give me their best recommendation on how to dress my tacos and quesadillas, and they did not disappoint! It was just delicious, and so are the burritos. Just give them try!

I came here for the Chicken Poutine fries I used to get a few years ago but unfortunately it's not on the menu anymore. I did try the chicken rumble fries which were an 7/10. I love the #15 sauce!! The quesadilla was an 8/10 but it's a little messy so keep some napkins near you. The single taco was good, 7/10. They have amazing portion sizes too so you get the bang for your buck. Please bring back the chicken poutine fries!!!
