Service on Sunday afternoon was really fast. Staff was friendly. Menu Options were great, outdoor seating was awesome. The drinks were a great & strong (alcohol and virgin) We ordered the chicken nachos, the hamburger tacos, the brisket tacos and the Gyro chicken tacos. Tacos not pictured because we ate them quickly lol. totally recommend.

Fun day in Ann Arbor and decided to try TAQ, fun taco 🌮 menu, wish it was spicier and seasoned . Some of them were bland . However I would try it again

I’m visiting Ann Arbor for work (HashBash) and we stopped in here after a long day of walking and checking out downtown. First and foremost it was so cozy in a little hut. The tacos were to die for and the margarita was just right. What highly advise visiting this place thanks for the great experience.

Service was great. The server was super friendly and did let us know that tacos could take 30 minutes. 30 minutes later we got our tacos. The protein (fish, chicken, shrimp) was cold on all of them. The fish and chicken were dry too. I think they try to impress with how much other salsa, etc. they stuff in there, but just please.make a good fresh warm taco.

Mediocre at best. Trendy and creative tacos that unfortunately fall short. The meat was pretty dry / overcooked , and had a sort of slight fish taste as if they were prepared to close together. The elote dip and chips were definitely the best thing we had at dinner.

We had lunch here on a Saturday at around 2pm. We were seated right away as there was not too many people there that day. I was impressed by the variety of taco style options. My favorite was the barbacoa. However, I felt that for the taste, $5-6 for one taco was too pricey. Also wasn’t impressed by the atmosphere in the building, as tables are packed together and it’s quite crowded. Outdoor seating may be a better option, when it’s nicer out. The raspberry mint lemonade was great. Overall, a good lunch option in AA.

Wont be going back here. Chips and Guacamole were extremely salty, tacos were dry not very much flavor at all, No frozen margaritas just cocktail margaritas?? The nachos were so hot i couldn't even eat them. Food looked good in photos and display but little no flavor and everything was extremely salty. The vibe was cool but wont be returning to eat sorry gave it a shot tho.

I dont believe this establishment operates honestly. I recommend that you count your money in front of your peers and server before handing it off to pay for your meal. The tacos are tacos. I wouldn't consider the food authentic flavors. If you're looking to explore the out of the norm tacos on the menu, prepare for a "Mehh" kind of reaction. Stick with what you know to be reliable in the taco genre. Check your fruits with desserts if you're dining later in the afternoon. A person at my table found an extremely molded raspberry, which is flat out careless of the dessert handler, in my opinion. Overall, I'm sure patrons who eat here can find some sense of satisfaction when leaving. But I will not be returning, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anyone in my social circle.

This was my first experience with the vibrant restaurant scene in Ann Arbor, and it definitely left a positive impression. We decided to sit outside, enjoying the pleasant weather and the lively atmosphere of downtown. As we savored a few delicious tacos, I couldn't help but appreciate the energy of the surroundings--people bustling by, laughter echoing from nearby tables, and the sounds of city life creating a perfect backdrop. The restaurant's location is ideal, right in the heart of downtown, which makes it a fantastic spot for hanging out with friends, enjoying a refreshing margarita, and indulging in some people-watching. The diverse crowd adds to the experience, with students, locals, and visitors all mingling together, each contributing to the eclectic vibe. The tacos were truly outstanding. The menu offered a delightful mix of traditional and non-traditional options, catering to a variety of tastes and adventurous eaters. I was particularly impressed by their creative flavor combinations, which inspired me to try something new. Each bite was packed with fresh ingredients and bold flavors, making it clear that the chefs take pride in their craft.

Went here a couple weeks ago around brunch time. It was completely empty. We ordered about 2 tacos each (6/7 people) and chips and guac/salsa for the table. We were sitting in this restaurant for maybe 2 hours. The service was so incredibly slow, they were nice, but no one should wait that long. The tacos were good, both breakfast ones and normal ones. No complaints on the food actually, but I will not be back.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, is renowned for its diverse dining scene, and TAQ, celebrated for its Asian fusion Latin American tacos, was a must-visit. This eatery is a favorite among locals, including my godson, prompting a Friday night visit. The 45-minute wait was anticipated, given the abundant outdoor seating catering to smaller parties and the intimate indoor space. I opted for three tacos: Barriga , tofu, and Camarn. While presentation earned four out of five stars, excessive slaw on two tacos compromised their structural integrity. The homemade tortilla chips and fresh guacamole were a highlight, although the chips' texture was more akin to pita. The Brix pineapple coconut soda, though sweet, became refreshing when iced. Outdoor seating provided a pleasant ambiance, occasionally interrupted by street noise. Unfortunately, this visit fell short of lofty expectations, leaving uncertainty about a return visit. Go Blue!!!〽

In downtown Ann Arbor, you can walk in any random direction and find good food. While i was trying to figure out how to pay for parking (it took me a while to figure out parking is free on Sunday), my wife found TAQ. When she told me about it, I thought she was trying to spell Taqueria, and gave up after three letters. The interior looks more like a diner than a Mexican restaurant. But if the food is good, I've found that atmosphere doesn't matter to me. The food is astonishingly good. The chips are heavy duty, super crispy. It makes me not want to have chips out of a bag ever again. The elote is rich and creamy, and it makes me love corn more than I already do. The guacamole is very cilantro forward. The pico de gallo is flawless. The only issue I had with the tacos...is they there too many of them, so I can't eat them all in one sitting. Each taco is $6, but you'll want to try several different kinds. The pork in both tacos is smoky, robust. The steak tacos were lean and seasoned to highlight the beef. The care taken in the preparation of the meats makes it clear that they really care about what they're serving. The chicken in the Greek taco was a bit overcooked, but nicely charred and, how fun is it to enjoy a taco that dressed up like a gyro? The tortillas themselves require some mention. These are freshly formed, and every bite you take wraps those amazing meats in a gorgeous blanket of corn. Jade was a real gem waiting on us (sorry...bad pun). Seriously: she did not steer us wrong when answering questions, so we asked her to surprise us with a taco that we hadn't ordered yet. The barriga (pork) taco was excellent. And, the Mojito was strong, and loaded with fresh mint. Not cheap ($13), but worth it. Even with $6 tacos, this will not be a cheap meal for you. But, that's on you. The food is so good, you'll find yourself ordering a variety of different things. And, yes, you will be back.

I ordered three tacos for delivery - the pescado, the italiano, and the sesamo. Tacos are around $5-$6 but they're very sizeable. I know that they're not made in house but I didn't like the tortillas at all and ended up just eating the insides. I'm not sure the concept works to be honest. I think they were going for fusion but it's just not...fusion would be traditional tacos with a spin and this is just like, random crap inside a tortilla. Like my favourite was the Italiano and it's just like they took chicken and pesto and put it in a tortilla. Again, that's not fusion. The flavour of the beef in the sesamo was good but the beef was way over cooked and chewy. Probably would have given it 3 stars but I read the owner's nasty responses to a bunch of other reviewers. Maybe she should get out of the hospitality industry if she can't be hospitable.

Love the super creative taco flavors. One of the tastiest barbacoa tacos I've had, super flavorful chipotle, and funky fun flavors like Greek inspired tacos and Italian inspired tacos. Portions are large. The chips and guac was so big the 3 of us could not finish it. Great place for those of us that need gluten free. Really appreciate gf chips as so many places don't offer them. Almost everything here is gf - so many options! Just 3 tacos are not gf and they are prepared in separate area. Highly reco!

I returned on Cinquo de Mayo to try a few new options. They now have plenty of outdoor seating, up and down Liberty. When I arrived, I was greeted with Drake pumping and the smell of fresh salsas. I decided to go with the Greigo, chipotle, and my tried -and -true -tofu. The Griego was everything I love in Greek food; creamy Tzatziki and perfectly chopped cucumber and tomato adorned with rich feta. The chipotle was possibly the most tender steak I have ever had in a taco. The pairing with guac and Cotija is brilliant. This could be my new fave meal. I'll return next week to indulge again...

Really enjoyed this place! Came with my family for lunch. I was looking for a place with good vegan options. They have a list of vegetarian tacos, which was awesome. I got the three vegan ones listed, without cheese (although I'm sure it would've been easy to order them without it). There was a fried eggplant with arugula, baked tofu with slaw, and a sautéed mushroom and pepper one. All delicious! My favorite was probably the tofu or the eggplant. I also tried the raspberry lemonade which was really tasty. My family got different margaritas which were strong and enjoyable for them too. It was a cute place, we were happy to sit outside on a nice day. And the service was great! Ella checked in on us numerous times and made great recommendations. Would come back if I'm ever in the area again :)

The food was good but the service was terribly slow outside. I went with my family and for some reason they sat at 2 different tables outside with 2 different servers. Both tables ordered at the same time but one of our tables had to wait for over 30 minutes to get their food. The service was a huge letdown and soiled the experience

Stopped in for a quick drink- the friendly bartender made me a lovely spicy margarita. Ambience was great-the space is light, bright and clean. Music was on point. The selection of tacos on the menu sounds amazing. Hope to return and try out a few!

Just a reminder that this place is SO great. The Chipotle and Corazon are to die for. In every season, this is always the date spot! Staff are so friendly even in busy hours. This is an Ann Arbor gem highly rated by a Texas native!! Have fun with your tacos and indulge in the classics. Grateful Taq is in our neighborhood!

Went back to TAQ and it was actually really good; much better than Condado. Their tacos are sooo big so the price made sense and their chip and guac was probably top 3 in AA. Pastor is super good and the shrimp one was ok. Marg is nothing crazy. The atmosphere is great and they have a ton of outdoor seating. The staff are all super nice.

This was our first time trying Taq, we were seated inside to avoid the wait. We were seated right by the stair case to the bathroom and kitchen. I asked if we can be seated on either one of the two empty tables but they insisted we have to sit at the table tucked away in corner to ensure "best" customer service. It was distracting to have people continuously walking up and down. Our actual server was amazing, she was attentive and overall pleasant. My personal favourite was the half nachos, the serving and topping for the nachos were very generous. Lots of meat! The generosity for meat extended to their tacos. All the tacos we ordered were very generous with their protein portions. However we felt that the large amount of protein almost over powered other elements in the taco. We wished there was a better balance of other ingredients.

We arrived just before their opening at noon on a Friday. There was a small line already, waiting for patio tables. Their patio is on the curb and in the street, but excellently shaded with strategically blowing fans. Our service was quick with water and to ask for our drinks. Menus are via QR code but the host was happy to provide a paper menu as I left my phone behind. Gauc and chips are $10 but very fresh. Too much for two people to shared and finish. Packed the rest to go in great biodegradable containers. I had the Barrica and Pescado tacos. Really I should have stuck with just 1 and very glad I didn't get three. The pescado was fresh and a huge taco. The Barrica was pork belly with fresh jalapeño slices and some red slaw. My friend said the barbacoa taco was the best out of the three she ordered. The place was busy and near full tables by the time we were leaving. It took the whole hour for lunch but I could not have been better.

Do you like tacos? Then you'll like this place. I got two tacos and the chips elote and it was very good and the portions were generous. Chips elote - it's corn! Great flavor, chips are superb and not greasy. 10/10 would eat this every day Barbacoa taco - first of all this taco was HEAVY. It was like a little Barbacoa baby and I'm not mad about it. Kinda skimpy on the avocado but the meat didn't really need it. I loved it Pescado taco - probably better when it's at the restaurant fresh and not delivered and kinda cold. So that's on me. Flavor was nice but I prefer a crispy fish taco

My review is just based on cocktails. We stopped tonight on the 4th of July. They were open late. They have some decent cocktails. A lot of amazing food on the menu. However we had already eaten I got the Raspberry Gin Fizz which was tasty. My husband had the Citrus Watermelon Margarita which was great. He had hoped for a salted glass but it was not offered. Our server was very friendly. She was helpful and made some recommendations for us. My complaint is that in asking for a salted glass for my drink I was denied. Even though they offer it for their margaritas. Obviously if you read my other reviews I have some food intolerances and allergies so I have to be careful with what I can order. It shouldn't mean that I can't just get a salted glass with my preferred cocktail. It takes :20 to salt a glass?? Especially when you are already salting glasses for your Margaritas. It's just being petty at this point. On top of that, after trying to ask for the bathroom we were instructed that only one person was allowed to go down the steps at once to use the bathroom because it was a single stall. Really? We weren't trying to go together. Nor are we five years old. Was looking forward to coming back but now I probably won't. So many great cocktail places in town Update and Response- I understand that it was a holiday. Whether you make a drink in a tall glass or pour it in a wine glass, it really doesn't take that much effort. There were not 30 tables sat. There were five outside. Servers were standing around inside and at the bar. I didn't even mind getting the salted glass brought to me and pouring my drink into it. As far as the wine glass, it's super hot and humid and I didn't want my ice to melt and dilute my cocktail. Which the server still had to go and ask if it was okay . As somebody who does have allergies, which is common these days, it's nice to have a cocktail sometimes with a salted rim. That is not asking too much! Especially when my husband ordered a margarita which had a salted rim which i had to end up using his glass and pouring my cocktail into.

A party of 4 of us who had been together since 9am ate at Taq. We all ate the same thing except one who had the fish tacos. 3ish hours after eating there, they began vomiting relentlessly. They do not have a history of G.I. Issues and was completely fine all morning/afternoon. They are currently laying on the couch crying after vomiting for the 5th time. When eating the tacos, they said "The fish is cold, I wonder if it was cooked a while ago". This restaurant needs to be investigated for food safety. We will be reporting this.

Came back to try other items, customer service better though taco shells are lacking. Only one option for taco shells and they taste like a stale hard shell. For the price I would say Mexican can be better had elsewhere.

Love their margaritas-- all yummy! Pretty decent price. They have two vegan tacos (take the cheese away) that I love! The guacamole is the best and the chips come out hot and fresh! The outside patio is a cool place to have lunch and people watch with a spicy margarita!

Really recommend barriga!! Carnitas and Barbacoa were a little dry & lacked sauce :( Thai & nachos were avg. For groups of 3-4, I recommend getting 2 tacos each and sharing nachos. Margarita was also pretty good!

Vibes are so good here. The only good taco is the chipotle steak one if I'm being honest, but it is delicious. The chips and guac are also fantastic, and of course the bevs are great. Service is usually decent, and I particularly enjoy the playlist they have going in the background. Love you, taq

I was in the area and was passing this place. The tacos that people were eating looked great, so I decided to check it out. I love a good taco. We were told to wait for a table to open up. The outside wait was longer. We were seated in a cramped area and hallway with 2 tables. No thanks. We decided to wait. We were quickly seated in an area that was not as cramped. The atmosphere was lively and busy. They played hip hop music and and it had an upbeat mode. The waitress took our drink orders. I ordered margaritas, which were very tasty. I also decided on the nachos and a chicken taco. The half order was recommended for two. The nachos were good. They had the right amount of cheese, salsa and meat. The tacos took a while to come. So long that I almost canceled. They finally came 40 minutes later. I assume they were soft tacos because the shell was not crunch. I asked my friend what they thought because they were soft. Was it the way they were, or had they sat too long before they came? We were not sure. This presented a dilemma for a true taste review. Overall, the tacos were good, although they did fall apart due to the moisture. I may have to check it out again to make a taco determination. Overall, good drinks, good prices, good atmosphere and good nachos.

TAQ is always poppin'! During the summer, I would always walk by and hear the Odesza or Rufus Du Sol bumpin & I always thought that it would be my kinddaa place & I'm glad I wasn't wrong. Some key things right off the bat: *I love that they own that they have non-traditional flavors & are consider themselves fusion tacos. I mean on Saturday & Sundays, they have a hamburguesa taco (more on that below) *Their tortillas and tortilla chips are from Ann Arbor Tortilla Factory. F'yeah! I love AATF because of how thick and cronchy their chips are! My partner prefers more thin and crispy so I get it's not for everyone but so glad they have it here at TAQ! *It's not on menu, but they have mimosas. The ratio was definitely heavy juice, but it tasted and looked fresh squeezed at least! Alrighty so onto the food - as the menu states, these aren't street tacos-sized, they're quite large so 2 or 3 tacos are definitely sufficient. *Chips, Guac and Pico De Gallo: Definitely no complaints here! Good portion and like I mentioned above, it's served with AATF tortilla chips. Yum. *Hamburguesa taco (cheeseburger taco w/ grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle, special sauce) - Can't say I've had anything like this in taco form! Worth a try if you're there Saturday or Sunday! *Carnitas taco (slow-braised pork shoulder w/ onions serranos, tomatoes, and avocados) - just a smidge dry but otherwise pretty good. the flavors were on point. *Hongo Taco (grilled portabellas, bell peppers, and corn w/ guacamole and queso fresco) - Wasn't my favorite hongo taco that I've had. There were way too many bell peppers, which took over the flavor of the delicious 'shrooms. *Camaron Taco (blackened cajun shrimp w/ corn-black bean salsa, sliced avocado, cotija cheese) - Probably our favorite! Really nicely seasoned and generous pieces of shrimp. FYI they have breakfast tacos so I'll definitely come back to try those.

I visited here in the summer on one of my trips to Ann Arbor (I live in Miami) and the food was delicious at the time. This prompted me to have them cater for our son's birthday party (I'm from Michigan, so this year we are traveling so that my family can visit). When I tell you all that the customer service is SO BAD. I mean it. They are nasty people. Rude, and extremely unprofessional. It took 4 emails and a IG DM over the course of two weeks for anyone to initially get back to me. Only to tell me that they would respond the following week as they were in the middle of restaurant week (instead of just using that energy to send the invoice as I stated I was ready to pay for the catering order in full at the time of ordering (over $1,000 order by the way)). Two weeks passed and I reached out once more. Didn't hear back from them until an additional week had passed. At that time I had given up on this place and booked with another vendor who is MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS! And so I told the general manager at TAQ that we decided to book elsewhere due to their lack of response and the unprofessional email is the response their manager gave. This company does not know that I'm well known, and not only did they missed out on a returning customer, but referrals and not to mention that a $1000+ order. I will NEVER recommend anyone come here nor will I again. I own a small business and answer EVERY email in a timely manner no matter how busy we get. They should be ashamed!

Place This place is a nice taco place that is on Main Street. For those that don't know Main Street is where all the boujee restaurants are located. There is indoor and outdoor seatings. Service The service was nice. They gave us time to choose and gave us different options. Food/price The food was pretty good. We came for the appetizers and drinks. It was a fun reunion and trying different places throughout the day. Audience I went for a friends reunion and plan to come back and try the tacos. Great for friends and date night probably. Recommendation/tips I recommend this place and they are covid-friendly. They do have a bathroom but you have to wait outside until the person comes in. I respect their caution and it is nice for them to follow the covid guidelines.

We went here on a Saturday for lunch when their patio seating spills into the street. They have a lot of patio tables with heaters at each table. The raspberry lemonade was good. The nachos come on a cookie sheet and could be a meal by themselves. I had the Griego taco and the pescado taco. Both were good but not outstanding.

Yelp
Nice little place with a bar you can sit at, indoor tables, outside igloo type seating. Wait staff was great and it almost seemed like they had too many people scheduled. But all very nice. Unfortunately the tacos were not great. Or even really good. We had six different types of tacos. Many of them just got soggy before you could eat them. They also just didn't seem to have much flavor, spice, or anything - just bland. My fish taco could have been tofu or chicken or anything. My shrimp taco didn't even taste like shrimp. It just... wasn't good. There are way better options in town. Plus that they have beer and cocktails. Plus that the staff was awesome. The food just doesn't back it up. I won't be back.

Disapppinted with the food. Ordered the guac and chips - chips were very salty and too thick. The tacos were the worst part. They use corn tortilla shells that were so soggy from the toppings. We tried about 5 different ones and none of them had good flavor and seemed like random mix of toppings. The only plus was the service was good and the outdoor seating was nice to sit and people watch.

Solid little spot in the main drag of Ann Arbor. What TAQ has going for it is their freshness of flavor! All the main ingredients (i.e., meats) and subsequent sides (e.g., corn, cheese, avocado) were all incredibly flavorful and fresh! The downside was that, for tacos, there was not much additional flavor. The seasonings and marinate were pretty mild and not distinguishable. Again, Great natural flavor, but as a taco place, it definitely needs a to add a lil something something to the tacos.

We had lovely service outside but it started to rain and I had a half a glass of wine and so did my daughter. We try to go inside and sit at the empty bar and we were not allowed to. It was thundering and raining hard, and we were sent away. I could understand if the restaurant inside was full and all seats were taken. But there were six vacant barstools, and we were not allowed to sit there during a storm. I will not recommend this restaurant, and I will not recommend going again. The hostess was rude and condescending. UPDATE: the entire bar was empty. If you don't allow patrons to sit at the bar, get rid of the barstools. Funny how you didn't mention that. I was not aggressive and spoke calmly about my concern to one person - the hostess. I did not berate anyone. It is disappointing to see this is how a business owner handles a genuine complaint. What a shame.

What's not to like about tacos and margaritas! $8 for a marg - $9 for flavor is a great deal especially for downtown Ann Arbor. I have tried 6 flavors so far now and all have been fresh tasting. The few tacos I've tried have also been really flavorful and unique. Sesame and Thai are a fun take on Asian flavors. On a busy night expect to wait a little while, but there are plenty of tables outside and a few inside so it goes fast.

This place was wack. The chips & guac was good, lots of lime which is good. But the food took like 40 minutes to come out and it really wasn't that busy, on a Saturday afternoon. I went to the bathroom and just saw the foos in the kitchen just posted up chilling. And the food came out cold. Also $6 dollars a taco? They do look cool/ and do have a decent amount on them. But uhhh yeah $6 a taco is OD.

The ambiance was just okay where I sat, inside. A little cramped and kinda awkwardly sitting right next to the only other patron in the room. Service was perfectly fine, some younger folks, college-age, politely gauche. The food would have been much better with a pinch of salt, and the taco shells needed more time because they crumbled quickly. I would try this place again, but not before giving other places a chance first.

I asked for a table for 6, and after a 15 minute wait, I was given two tables of 4 next to each other but with a giant lamppost and plant between them. There was no way to be able to converse between the two tables. We asked if there was any way we could eat inside (the automated message when you call Taq states "We have 10 tables inside that are first come, first serve, available all day, everyday), but we were told they were not seating inside. There was another empty table that was not blocked by the lamppost and plant, but we were told we could not have that table because then both our tables would be in the same section. I told the manager that I had family in from Europe who we rarely get to see and didn't even speak English, and it would be much easier for everyone if we can sit together and help translate. The manager was incredibly rude and immediately told me no. Then 10 minutes into being seated, the other table I had requested was seated, so the excuse about the waiter not being able to have two tables in their section clearly made no sense. More than anything, the manager's attitude was disgusting, and I wish we would have just left immediately. We never would have even put our name in if we had known our group of 6 couldn't be seated near each other. I would try Isalita down the street for better food and better service. UPDATE: It should be clear from my review that the issue was NOT that we were seated at 2 tables but that we could not be given 2 tables near each other for a reason that clearly didn't make sense since those tables were soon seated. I think all the owner's Yelp replies make it clear what kind of place this is

TAQ is a fun place! We visited for the first time recently -- sat outside, listened to (Thursday night) live music, and enjoyed the laid back downtown scene. * super friendly waitstaff * great margaritas, mixed drinks, and beer * interesting / yummy take on tacos And, in the context of Ann Arbor dining (which is a bit pricey), TAQ is not all that expensive. We'll be back.

The chips are the star. Thats a problem. 2 different chicken tacos both times the chicken was very dry. The Friday special had a slaw on it that had to be picked off to make the taco edible. The chipotle taco was okay. The guacamole and the pico both had too much lime, it overpowered every other seasoning. The server was pleasant. Eating in the street is always a bit weird for me. It always feels kind of dirty. Not like eating outside in Europe, just not.

The concept of TAQ is really cool -- basically if you can imagine a flavor profile, it's on the menu in the form of a taco. I haven't been in a few years, but I came in with friends yesterday for lunch and I think it's time for an updated review. TAQ is a sleek, yet small, restaurant on E. Liberty with a lot of outdoor seating. We sat outside under a shady umbrella, surrounded by big cacti & plants, which gives the outdoor experience a nice touch. We started with margaritas (spicy grapefruit, citrus watermelon, and strawberry mango) and we got them about 10 minutes later. They were all refreshing, but the spicy grapefruit was a kicker for sure! Our group ordered the "Nachos on Nachos on Nachos" to share -- and this ended up being our favorite part of the meal. The chips were crispy yet airy, hot, and covered in goodness like chipotle chicken, salsa verde, guacamole, etc. It is a BIG portion so perfect for sharing with a group. A few of us ordered a taco just to try something else. I ordered one of my favorites -- al pastor. The one thing though that continues to keep me from coming back to TAQ regularly are the taco shells: thick, corn tortillas that seems to fall apart as soon as you pick up your taco. The Al Pastor taco itself had a large serving of marinated pulled pork with some pineapple on top, but upon biting into it, you just got a mouthful of dry pork. The taco shell collapses out from under me and I just put it down. Since it now costs $6/taco, I think they would have been better off decreasing their portion sizes & keeping prices the same. This was the same experience I had a few years ago, and the reason why I'll probably pass next time.

Super dry chicken. Barbacoa tasted like the box shredded beef you get from Costco mixed with bbq sauce...it was weird. There are many better options nearby.

Really only giving two stars because their margaritas are decent but that's about it. We had dined in over the summer, and it started out ok. We were sat outside in the street patio area. We were handed out margs, and we asked for straws. The girl went back to go grab some. We never saw her again for 20 minutes. We finally saw her, and she puts ONE straw in ONE of our drinks.... not both of them. We thought this was super petty and annoying, so we didn't even bother wasting our time ordering food. We knew how long it would take. We asked for the check and left. I probably won't be back. I've had the food before too- it's mediocre.

Taq was sooo good. The staff was friendly and the tacos were delish. I had the barbacoa and it was the perfect amount of spicy and packed with meat not toppings like most places. My friend had the Camarón and he said "It's the BEST taco ever" We also had margaritas I just wished they had been a little bigger. This place is great. Only downside is that it is super small. I'm guessing if you don't make reservations or get there early, you will be waiting a loooonng time.

Checked out Downtown Ann Arbor on a beautiful Saturday. We decided to stroll around the streets and window shop until we came across TAQ. Ample outside seating with a decent wait time. Our wait was about 30 minutes until we were seated outside. Side note - make sure to use the restroom before strolling around. This was our first time coming to A2 since Covid and no where would let us use the restroom including TAQ until we were already sitting down at our table. During our wait, we stopped at grotto for a drink to use the restroom. Lifesaver! By the time our table was ready, our bellies were so ready for tacos. Everything on the menu is a taco. Everything! I had a hard time deciding between 2 or 3 tacos. I went with 3 to try more, but that left me full to the brim. I will probably do 2 tacos and chips next time. We tried a good selection - barbacoa, chipolte, Cameron, Tacino, and pollo y waffle. Hands down chipolte was my favorite! Love the selection. If you come on the weekend, there is a brunch taco selection too. We tried 2 from the brunch selection. The margarita menu looked amazing, so had to time one or two. We got the citrus margarita with patron. If you love that combo, we do. Totally recommend!

I give the chips and elote a 5/5 and the tacos a 3/5 . Nice vibes. As good as I wanted the tacos to be I feel like they were just okay but great if you want to try something new

After floating down the Huron River while attempting to drink your weight in alco beverages. One can get famished at the end. So out of all the restaurants in the strip. We chose @taqannarbor . #ThaiChicken - A little on the dry side, but the flavors we really delish. #BeefBarbacoa - I love the smoky finish of the beef. It definitely is as good as my beef barbacoa. #AlPastor - So yummy,, they even garnish the taco with pineapples. That's accuracy right there! #Brownie - It's veeeeeery sweet #TresLeches - This is the better of the two desserts. Food was good, people were great and all their employees were wearing masks correctly. Thank you for hooking it up and keeping us hella safe. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay ALIVE. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Remember to wear a mask correctly and that peace is love. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!

Liberty street is blocked off for cars. Seating outside only here too, need to update their company VM, as it still says their dine-in and patio for Tuesday through Sunday until 10pm, not so. They have 10 tables set up out on the sidewalk. Not sure why they can't add additional seating out in the street since cars are not allowed anyways. One table got their bill after about 5 minutes, so, it shouldn't be too long of a wait then, right. We only had to wait about 7-8 minutes for a table to open up. We even considered getting carry out, but tacos and such are hard to eat walking, standing or in the car. Our waitress had waters out to us within minutes. We ordered the hongo (portabella), Thai chicken, verde chicken, pescado and house-made chips and guacamole too. The corn chips and house made guacamole was out in less than 5 minutes from our order. Not loving the corn chips, much too thick, hard, almost the texture of a deep fried pita chip to me. The corn chips are way too salty as well. The guacamole tastes okay, although a rather heavy on the salt. I squeezed in the lime slice garnish for the guacamole into the too salty guacamole and it does help cut the salt just a bit. We will reserve the guacamole for the tacos to come. The 4 tacos were out after about 10 minutes after ordering. The fish taco was closest to me, then the hongo or mushroom, Thai chicken and then the adobo chicken. All have different tastes but I can't say any of the 4 tacos really resonated with me or blew me away at all. The Thai takes some getting use to with the curry. The meat for the Thai chicken was super dry. The adobo chicken was bland and the meat was dry too. The corn tortillas was big, soft and mushy. The service was good but the food is sub-par at best here. Maybe the cocktails is why this place is popular? The tacos all need a revamp in flavors complements and the chips need a better toss to get the salt better distributed or maybe ask if the patrons want their salt lick chips or not? Need a lighter hand on the salt for the guacamole as well. It's much easier to add than take it away after all. This was by far the most disappointing and most expensive of the 3 taco spots we hit up while in AA tonight. A lot or hype for below average tacos.

Back again for more tacos - slowly trying to check off the entire menu. Again, great flavors with lots of toppings. Only downside is the tortillas seem to break open if they sit for too long... Messy but delicious.

They appeared overwhelmed by the crowd. Reservation was for 7pm, seated at 7:20, didn't get my drinks until 8:00! Taco's were very good but you can't be in a rush. The wait staff worked hard but there were a lot of apologies for things out of her control.
