Food was Great! Super delicious. Service was good, decor was cool. I would give it 5 stars but they were playing old Smurfs episodes on the big screen. It just didn't fit and was just weird. Also, the music was really loud, then the owner or manager walked in and turned it up even louder.

Very impressed, classic tacos served in the best way possible. Loved the Carnitas Pork especially, with a big glass of Horchata to drink. Reminds me of what I get in California, where I think taco culture is at its best. Super cool interior as well. Definetely try it out.

The long awaited opening of FBT has finally arrived! I was very excited to see this open right in the neighborhood because we need another taco place.... well we could always use a better taco place! I actually quite enjoyed the taco and burritos here. The steak and carnitas flavors are on point and very satisfying. I find that the burrito portion size is just right. I mean if you're looking for chipotle size burrito then go there but I guarantee you it won't taste as good as this burrito. My favorite is the carnitas pork which is so flavorful and is really the star of the show. My husband loves the steak and you can tell the ingredients are fresh since they make it right away on the grill and nothing ever tastes old or floppy. I have been drenching my tacos in the mild salsa. Two containers? no not enough for me! SO GOOOD. Also a shoutout to the horchata here too! YUM. A few operational kinks that I can clearly see they are trying to work out but once they do, I know the customer feedback will improve. I hope this restaurant stays around! PS - I have a newly minted 12 wk old fat baby, can we get a free taco?? haha :)

Do not order tacos from here. Experience: I ordered 4 steak tacos on the ritual app. I added extra meat and guac to one of them. They rejected my order, I ordered again but 3 steak one with extra meat. They accepted and I went to get my food. I got it and all the tacos looked the same. I got to my desk and realize one taco said chicken on it. Infact it was only a chicken taco no extra meat or toppings but did have guac. The order was completely wrong and missing everything. Taste: The tacos are mediocre at best, and not filling. They lacked complex flavors I expect inside a taco, not just meat and jalapeno. It was definitely missing elements. Price: Way over priced for the tiny taco you get. $4 a taco... No deals... If you want more flavor it's another $1-$2 Employees: Very grumpy looking, and upset about something. Will never go back, take it off your ritual app.

Fat Baby Taco allows you to customize your current mood. Taco or Burrito? Next pick your protein and your topping. Easy and great for those who want to something other than cilantro and onions. Don't expect authentic tacos. Flavors are underwhelming and their three salsas did not help. None were spicy. When I tried the shrimp tacos with jalapeños, it immediately stood out from the rest! If you're looking for some kick, top your tacos with "spicy." Jalapeños are pickled so the spicy level isn't too crazy. I very much enjoyed the Paloma and Margarita! Will I be back? On the fence... it's right next door to Celeste and Fat Baby Taco stays open until the wee hours. If I happen to be in the area and had too much to drink, yes.

I ordered vía Uber Eats today. I was somewhat skeptical since the reviews seemed mixed. Here’s what I ordered: A shrimp taco street style (corn, poblano,onion, & cilantro) 3 steak tacos- 1 classic style(chopped onion & cilantro, 1 classic style w/americano (add tomatoes, cheese, lettuce) & 1 steak (street style). And an order of elotes. The tacos were very tasty. I read reviews that said the meat isn’t seasoned well...but the steak was full of flavor. It also had a hint of smokiness almost like it was grilled steak! I loved it. The steak could’ve been juicier because it was a bit dry. Also, I’m used to chopped steak in smaller pieces. It makes it easier to eat on a taco. But these tacos had chunks of steak, which is also a bad size for the larger pieces that have too much fat on them. It’s important to note my order was wrong. My street style steak taco was actually just corn and poblano...but there was 0 cilantro!m & just two or three pieces of onion. The elotes was HORRIBLE!!! I mean that was the main reason I ordered! But I got a tub of corn with waaaay too much butter and mayo and cotija cheese. The amount of cotija would have been fine if I had a lot of chili or tajin or cayenne or whatever spice they use. I barely had any. What the heck!? There was so much butter it all melted and was just grease in the container. The corn seemed like it was from a can and not fresh because it was super watery as well! It was nothing but butter and water with corn mayo and cheese swimming in it!! I took two bites and threw it in the trash where it belongs! I’m not sure if this place uses mayo and crema but if so, they need to up the chili so it’s not just mayo crema and butter cause I had no spice or flavor. It was disgusting honestly. The worst elotes I have ever had. Maybe it was because it was delivered thru Uber eats, maybe not. But there was only a pinch of chili... I gave 3 stars. 1 star lost for my horrible elotes. And 1 for the taco with no onion or cilantro.

When they put the correct ingredients (steak doesn’t show up as Chicken), a more precise cooking and portion than CHIPOTLE. 😁 Hit/Miss. Convenience. Shrimp tacos a must and worthy of price. Happy Hour. SpringRewards.

We came here after The Beyonce/Jay-Z concert. They have veggie tacos that consist of jackfruit, which tastes like chicken! They were delicious!!! They have a bomb mural you can take pics in front of! Best part is they are open hella late!!
