"Make an early pass through the drive-thru at Taco Temple for breakfast tacos on the run, or stop by the outdoor window or indoor counter at lunch for tinga or birria tacos and horchata." - Gina Smith

"The menu at this charming converted gas station leans heavy on good ingredients, with al pastor pork and fried cod served fairly traditionally on house-made tortillas. There’s also decidedly original creations too, especially the daily specials — devotees know to watch the marquee out front for crispy chicken tacos. Taco Temple also puts out the best vegetarian taco in town: avocado with a slice of salty fried cheese." - Eric Barton

My wife and I LOVE Taco Temple! The corn tacos are always what we go for and sometimes with chips/salsa and Mexican pickles veggies. Yum! Size wise they are smaller than some places but stuffed with flavor, beautiful fresh ingredients and their consistently quality. (Probably eaten there 20x over the years). They often run a special taco, have vegetarian options and are GF friendly. They also have four salsas to choose from, each tastes fresh and range in spice and flavor.

Americana was needing a little more flavor but it was good. Borracha had a spice, which i dont mind but I didn't care for the flavor. Al pastor was good. Santa Barbara was my favorite. Baja was good, should be eaten first to keep fish from getting cold but was still good. Panela was good. The papusa was good but the sauce on top was a bit too spicy if you don't like any spice. The mixed vegetables were really good!

Taco Temple is an absolute gem—hands down the most authentic Mexican taco spot I’ve ever been to. I grew up four hours east of here and have eaten a lot of traditional Mexican food over the years. Nothing comes close to this. The flavors are bold, fresh, and real. Every bite fed me well and reminded me of how good tacos should taste. I added a little of their chili hot sauce and it took everything to another level—so good. This place has done a wonderful job. I will 100% be back. No doubt, no question.

We ordered online today at 9am, once the restaurant opened. Got there around 9:15, order still wasn't ready. There were no customers or other cars parked. Waited a few mins and drove to the pickup window to ask, all they asked if it was an online order, still not ready. After about 10 mins it was finally ready. At home i found this in one of the breakfast tacos, i thought it's an onion peel, or a bandaid. But It was some kinda piece of cardboard or thin plastic. Whoever is responsible for the kitchen, please take orders in a timely manner and watch for trash slipping into food.

Fresh and unusual. I love coming to a taco place and getting something I wasn't expecting. I am from Los Angeles and am a big foodie. But Taco Temple surpasses a lot of what I tasted out there. The blue corn tortillas are very good. I know this is going to be a new fave of ours.

Incredible flavor and a fun atmosphere. Would return and I have already recommended to multiple friends. The chips and guac were so tasty and the portions were so generous. The torta was fantastic. Excellent flavor and all the veggies were super fresh. The horchata was also incredible, so sweet and smooth. I will be coming back for my torta cravings

okay so i never ever write reviews but i just feel like i have to because this is the only place i come back to on a regular basis (could probably eat here everyday lol) and know it will be good. i always get the same thing, the avocado taco & the panella taco because im vegetarian and never in my life have i had a vegetarian taco be full of so much flavor and fresh ingredients. their corn tortillas are to die for and everything just tastes so authentic! i am genuinely so obsessed with this place and always recommend to people who also share the same feelings! everyone is always so friendly and the experience and food never disappoints! i love you taco temple with all my heart, thank you for all you do<3

Absolutely amazing breakfast tacos! The homemade corn tortillas are some of the best I’ve ever had. I had the chorizo and egg tacos and they were beyond amazing, especially with the different salsas. Also these tacos are thick and packed for a great price.
