I have eaten here several times. My daughter introduced me to Team Taco ( it’s her favorite!) I tried every taco on the menu… the globetrotter and tofu king are my go to on the regular menu. However, you guys should put the ringer “ shawarmaggedon” on your regular menu… it is fantastic!!! I’ve had it as both a taco and rice bowl both were delicious, but the rice bowl was absolutely wonderful!! I would order this every time if put it on your menu!

It’s wild that anyone would find their food delicious much less top rated! This was the most average bland taco spot. It’s crazy that these tacos are almost $5. The tacos were bland and mostly fat. The rice bowl was a bit more flavorful. The chips were salty. Overall food was 2.5/5. The service was great though even though we waited almost 20 minutes for basic food 😭 would not recommend if you want to enjoy your food but there was a line of customers, so maybe people like this kind of food!!

A great neighborhood taco shop. Their everyday menu is great and their ringers are always creative and delicious. I'm a meat eater, but I'm always impressed with their vegetarian/vegan options. Pro tip: Average Joe as nachos with black beans.

Our food got out to us pretty quickly but there was a lot of strange people on the pavilion when we were there but it's downtown area so it was expected. I got the rice bowl and to be honest I was pretty disappointed. There was hardly any rice and it's not even Mexican rice but there was plenty of toppings. It was like slop more than anything because of the topping to rice ratio. We decided to try this place out because our usual places were closed. They don't have very many options either.

This place is not a Mexican restaurant. I don't see why there are negative reviews that say dumb things like tHeReS nO sAlSa Or CaRnE aSaDa. Don't expect Mexican food, these are gentrified. However, they are very good. I got the margarita and it was STRONG. I can see why it's just a wee cup of it. Someone who likes to party makes those margaritas. The tacos I got were the tofu king and the BA Baracus. The tofu king had a zangy tangy sauce that made me lick the plate. Tastey veggies on it, like a slaw. The BA was juicy brisket 😋 Both very solid choices. I had to tell my husband to get the chips and queso away from me because I was going to embarrass myself and eat them all. The vibe is chill. I like the outdoor area even though it's hot as balls outside. In the evening it's just right. The people complaining about outdoor seating are probably agoraphobic weirdos. We came on a Thursday and it wasn't very busy. A few cozy couples sipping their drinks. The patio was clean. The signs are very clear about what is on the food. The lady at the window who took our order was a smiling face and helped us to decide what to get. We just had a great experience and will be back for more margaritas and tacos.

Late one evening, I was strolling down Cherry and Pickwick, walking off the stress of a turbulent finals season, when I came upon the neon glow of the Team Taco sign. Feeling pangs of both hunger and relief after passing my battery of tests, I decided to reward myself with a box of nachos and a margarita. The vermillion glow from the establishment mingled with the heat of the kitchen, engulfing me in a womb-like embrace of comfort. As I approached, my anticipation slowly turned to cold dread. Within the red glow, the shadows danced an impossible umbral waltz, twisting and curving into shapes my mind could never hope to reproduce. A dull hum emenated from the crimson depths, just barely above the pitch of human hearing. The sound cut through to my very soul, filling me with the urgent need to be somewhere, anywhere but this grim precipice, but my muscles would not obey. Marionettelike, I staggered to the counter and stared into the maw of madness. Within, past the veil of the shadow's dance, a goat-headed figure hovered off the ground, robed in sheets of inky black and captivating scarlet. Beneath the twisting colors was the impression of a power beyond the physical. Staring up into its eyes felt like gazing up a sheer cliff face, a towering edifice impossibly high, somehow contained within the confines of the taco shop. As I stood transfixed, I felt the being bend a fraction of its immeasurable attention upon my lowly form. It asked without words, in a chord which shredded down my nerves like razors made of ice. It asked a question, and I somehow understood. My mouth opened, emenating forth a black stream of pure meaning, a message without medium. Ten minutes later, I got my pork belly nacho bowl and margarita. Pretty good stuff ngl, I'll be coming back

Nothing memorable, nothing unappetizing. Standard food, mostly unseasoned. Nachos had barely enough cheese, not enough salsa, brisket was ok. Chips & guacamole were ok, guacamole was mostly avocado. Taco was under-seasoned. The atmosphere was good but outside only. Lots of better places to obtain tasty Mexican food.

Team Taco sells incredible delicious food, I had 3 different tacos , Chicken, beef , pork , all incredibly delicious slow cooked meets. Seating is outside on the patio, staff polite and friendly. Parking on the street , place was clean and chairs & table were comfortable.

Outside seating or to-go...is how you'll eat at this place. (3) tacos for $12...but they try and give you something different...in a taco. Globetrotter taco: Pretty good pork belly used on this taco...with a hit of bright verde sauce. And the cotija cheese is an excellent addition. BA Baracus taco: they use a braised brisket on this taco. Today, the brisket was very dry. BUT...the rojo sauce...sure made this taco slot better. Cotija cheese....not bad. (Just) need to cook that brisket less...or use a better brisket... Average Joe taco: done with a coarse ground beef....this meat was seasoned quite well. All and all..another good taco variation. Chips and cheese sauce: The chips are pretty good...served warm....with a touch of a sweated grease to some of the chips. They were pretty good. The cheese sauce....I became tired of the cheese dip and it's taste.

This is my fav springfield spot. It's in a great neighbourhood and the employees are amazingly friendly. I eat here pretty often so I can safely say the food is consistently good. It's safe for Gluten free eaters aswell. Sometimes it can be a little spicy but that's just me. Everything on the menu is delicious. The nachos are filling and I'm not a fan of beans but the bowls are good as-well. I think the Tofu King is my favourite even though Globetrotter is the most popular. However, i would say the BA nachos are better. I have not had any of the alcoholic beverages so I cannot recommend.

What a cute shop! This place is so trendy and tasty! B.A. Baracus bowl was legit. I highly recommend! So flavorful and delicious. Just the right amount of portions too - not too much but didn't leave me hungry. The queso is a great white queso and the chips were crispy and crunchy. Deliciousness all around! The man working the window was incredibly helpful and polite. He checked in with us, answered questions, politely took our order and the food was ready rather fast. 5/5 stars - no complaints here

Their tacos, chips, guacamole and bowls are fresh and delicious! The queso is different but tastes good (cheese kind of separates). Service is always friendly & efficient! Will definitely go back! Always hit them up when we're at Tie and Timber.

I am so incredibly deeply in love with this place! The ambience that they create outside is amazing and even though it has been freezing in the Midwest recently, I had no problem standing in line for some team tacos. The two guys that work there were awesome and they even complimented me because I knew the reference "BA Barackas", which is on the menu. If you know you know! Thanks guys it was a great experience with great tacos that reminded me of California.

Met the guys of Team Taco tonight. We checked into an AirBnB across the street and walked over for dinner. Friendly upbeat place on a cold February night. The guys had dinner ready in a couple minutes while we waited on the heated patio. A little too cold tonight for outdoor dining, but a nice patio that would be great the other three seasons. Let's Go Blues to the Chef !!!

Delicious food at a reasonable price. A unique take on tacos and bowls. Loved I was able to order and then take across the street to a local brewery.

We use to go to Chipotle quite a bit and have stopped since finding Team Taco! The Chipotle's in Springfield are always out of product and to boot have some of the rudest employees!! The staff at Team Taco are always welcoming and kind and the food is amazing!! Also, I would much rather support a small local business who actually cares about their customers!

The food is fresh and tasty, and in the right portion. The atmosphere is a outdoor, street vibe, that makes it fun and casual. We will definitely keep coming back.

Enjoyed the rice bowl and chips and salsa. We did not check reviews on this CB place first just walked up to the window because we were closed by. Very nice surprise! Friendly staff and good food. We waited outside under the heated area and food was served fast. Good customer service.

Hands down some of the best tacos I've had. This newly opened street taco restaurant is serving up some great food. Located on Cherry in the Rountree neighborhood, Team Taco is a small red building with a wonderful patio and fountain. On the menu you'll find street tacos, rice bowls, and nacho plates. I ordered 2 tacos, at $3.50 each, the B.A. Baracus and The Globetrotter. The B.A. had beef brisket, red sauce, cotija cheese, onion, and cilantro. The Globetrotter has smoked pork belly, verde sauce, cotija cheese, and the the rest of the fixins. The meat on both was juicy and flavorful and the tortillas were crisp. They didn't skimp on the filling either. Not only do they have amazing tacos, they also have cocktails, beer, wine, and cider. It's a small building so there is limited indoor barstool seating. Staff was friendly and had great recommendations.

Who knew there would be such a great taco stand in Springfield, MO? Team Taco is a walk up taco stand, but larger and more substantial than a taco truck. It is located in a gentrified neighborhood next to other restaurants and shops. There is plenty of outdoor covered seating in a clean and pleasant environment. While the menu may not be quite as extensive as at other establishments there are plenty of options. The taste and the quality of the tacos is top notch. The Redbird, their chicken taco, is probably the best chicken taco that I have had. Team Taco is certainly worth a visit especially to anyone who enjoys Tacos and likes supporting local establishments.

I was in Springfield for 5 days and I ate at this place 3 times. Nothing compares. I'm from Texas so to say these are amazing is an understatement. The employees are so wonderful, always smiling and super fast. now, I'm going to try and make them. I wish I knew how to make the rojo sauce.

This is my second time at Team Taco. My first time I got three different tacos. This time instead of tacos, I decided to get a bowl. My favorite taco that I tried before was the pork belly aka globetrotter, so I decided to get pork belly bowl. The bowl was tasty, with all kinds of toppings and ingredients. Rice, beans, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, lime, pork belly and the verde salsa. So good! Almost like a bowl from Qdoba or Chipotle, but much much tastier.

We've been to Team Taco twice in one week because we love it so much. This walk-up taco stand is tucked in an up and coming hipster neighborhood. Their guac is amazing - fresh and tasty, topped with cilantro, tomato, and red onion. It really pops in your mouth with each bite and is probably my favorite thing on the menu. With a small menu, it makes it easy to keep things consistent and dialed in. Our favorite tacos are the Redbird (chicken) and Tofu King (topped with pickled onion and carrot). They also have a taco special that changes weekly, and we can't wait to see what creations they come up with!

Loved all the nachos but Redbird is my favorite. Plenty of spice but not burn your face off heat. Conveniently located across from Tie and Timber, although they have an outdoor patio and beer.

Came here with the hubby after a long bike ride. The staff was super friendly and greeted us though their walk-up counter/window. My husband (who said he was pretty hungry) ordered the 3 for $9.99 tacos. His favorite was the pork belly (Globetrotter). Said he got full after the 3 which surprised me since they were street tacos (smaller size). He said there was a lot of meat on the tacos - especially the pork on the globetrotter. I absolutely LOVED my pork belly rice & black beans bowl!! Ordered it without any substitutions & thankfully the generous scoop of sour cream was on the far side of the to-go box, so I could portion/mix it in as desired. The flavors were POPPIN. The pork was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. There was a little bit of seating on benches outside the restaurant, but not a lot of space if you plan to eat there. If you're fine with sitting on the curb or taking your tacos to go - that's probably the best route. Overall, I'd definitely visit Team Taco again!

Really solid quick and easy street taco joint. The Baracus taco is really all you need to order. Menu is short and sweet. Queso is average, not bad but not to die for.

Delicious, beautiful, perfect tacos. Best tacos I think I've ever had in my life. These guys rule.

These tacos are as close to top notch as you can get. There are lots of really good authentic taco places out there but these tacos are on another level. When I showed up probably around 4 P.M. nobody was there and was a little confused cuz it's clear from the photos and reviews that this place is really good, and then by the time I had a drink and my tacos came out maybe 50 different people showed up within 15 mins as I was eating my tacos. After I was done eating my 4 tacos a 20 minute line had formed... and I had to wait in line for 20 mins just to get 1 more taco cuz they are that good. Guac was amazing... the freshness and the taste from the in house made rojo and verde chile sauce was amazing and immediately understood why they cost 1$ each. The owner CLEARLY takes pride in his product. Everything is fresh, clean, and very artisan in preparation. Pork belly was out of this world, as was the pork shoulder and brisket. I think I saw a review below that said it is a little pricey...yeah, but it is well worth the extra cost given the clear superior quality of the tacos and freshness and preparation to make them that way.

Best tacos in Springfield by far, I've been there multiple times and will go back. Chips and queso were low key good too

Brought the whole gang here last night on our first night in town. Super friendly staff. Great tacos. Cold beer. Do you need to know more? Do you need to know that their weekly speciality taco was the best thing I've eaten in weeks? Do you need to know that the Globetrotter pork belly taco deserves a herald of trumpets upon arrival? Do you need to know that even my picky kids devoured the classic taco? I don't know what you need to know, but I know that I'm Team Taco. You will be, too.

A variety of tacos. All counter service but a nice semi covered patio to sit and dine. Go hear with friends and order 1 of each . Very tasty.

Got the Globtrotters tacos, pork belly was legit good, overall one of the better tacos I have had in Springfield. Also got the globetrotter in bowl w rice and while that also was good the portion was very small, maybe a 1/3 of what you get at Chipotle. The guac left a lot to be desired, very bland and smooth like it came from a plastic bag already made. I will be back, but only for the tacos, which is why I visited in the first place.

Fantastic food which brought back memories of famous food trucks in Seattle. Today was rainy and their outdoor eating area had heating lamps. The tacos were mouth watering. It's hard for us foodies to find such good food around here. We found a place that hit the spot! Our 4 year old enjoyed the tacos while our 2 month old patiently let us eat. We will definitely make the drive from Nixa to eat these delicious tacos again. Yay! For Team Taco. Ps not sure where to park.

Delicious food, fast service. A nice lunch or dinner spot. We didn't try the cocktails but will do that next time.

Should be rated in 1-10 but I have to give it 3. 6/10 is an accurate representation. HIGH DOLLAR!!! Beef was below avg. Taco Bell quality. Brisket is pulled and the sauce on the taco doesn't make up for the low quality brisket. Pork belly was the best item. Nice flavor. Good sauce. Not overwhelming though. The queso was more like campbells soup. Won't be back. If you do get the pork tacos. Only redeeming item.

While drinking some beer across the street, we tried 3 different tacos, the Recbird, Baracas and Average Joe also got a queso and chips. All were outstanding but the Baracas was our favorite. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Springfield.

We were in town visiting my son who was a student at Drury University at the time. He said he really liked this place and I can see why! This place is a little walk up spot that doesn't look like much at first glance. On that night, the place across the street had live music, so we sat outside eating tacos and listening to the music. The only annoying thing about this place is there was ONE GUY working the walk up line as well as inside, handing out orders) so after every 4th or 5th person in line the ONE GUY would close the walk up window in your face to go put together the orders inside. Other than that one thing being a bit off putting, the tacos were delicious and you can't beat the price! If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be a regular here.

I get to enjoy these delicious bad boys Saturdays after my outdoor workouts across the street. I have so far indulged in the Average Joe, Red Bird, Tofu-King, Groundskeeper and BA Baracus. My fave so far is a tie between the Groundskeeper and Tofu-King. I can't wait for many more Saturdays filled with post workout tacos. They're almost a 5 for me but some of the meat varieties can be a little dry or lacking a complex flavor profile.

Stopped here on our way to Arkansas, and it was worth going out of the way for! My husband had the brisket nachos and I got the bowl. Amazing! We also got guac and chips. All delicious! Very fast service and food was hot, even the chips were warm! We will def go back! (Maybe on our way home) haha

My husband and I found this place on our way to Tulsa from Chicago. Best stop for dinner! I have a few food allergies, including garlic, onion and dairy. They were so accommodating. Steve cooked up some amazing tacos. Probably the best tacos I've ever had! Highly recommend this place :)

WOW, they do not disappoint!! Had the Globetrotter & Groundskeeper taco both were fantastic!

I love the tacos here. Love them! But you guys have to do something about the way you operate. One person taking orders and filling the orders takes FOREVER! There was one order in front of me tonight. It took more than 10 min for me to even get to order. Then another 10 or 15 to get the food. Have someone do a workflow study or something. There has to be a better way!

Andrew F.

Yelp
A long wait for ok to decent tacos. The baracus I thought was a little bland. The globetrotter the pork belly was quite salty - almost could not eat it. The full size cocktail comes in a very small glass. Not sure how they could "half" this cocktail glass - they offer a smaller option as well. Maybe it was just an off day. ‍

Best bowls in town!! This place puts chipotle to shame and if you love street tacos theirs are amazing!! I love getting food here then hopping over to tie and timber for a beer to pair with it. Best addition to the rountree area!!
