As for the food, I got the Papi tacos and I thought they were alright. The chips and salsa are pretty good.
My only complaint is that our server was slightly snarky when a portion of our group didn’t order any food. It was just unprofessional but she still did a great job serving us.
Seated outside at one of the wooden tables and was promptly brought water, chips and “salsa” which was pretty much chunky tomato sauce. No heat, spice or salsa flavor. Chips were a mix of thick tostada and thin crispy chips so I picked out the thinner ones and.ordered Bernardos Texaz dip to accompany them seeing as how the salsa didn’t do it. The Texaz dip had pico de gallo, chili beans and guacamole in the center of some melted cheese which actually wasnt too bad.
We ordered 3 tacos each and for that we got a little bit of rice and beans complimentary. The beans reminded me of hot dog chile beans and the rice tasted like Uncle Ben’s instant rice. Although the presentation was good as were the reviews of this place, the tacos didn’t align with the hype. Ordered some sopapillas to give menu one last try …but they were covered in cinnamon sugar and served with chocolate and not honey. Sad day.
Highlight of the night was meeting the super sweet busser from Guatemala who took great care of us.
Good ambiance….good cheese dip ….good busser. As far as the main food, if you’re craving a step up from Taco Bell, then this is your place.
The patio is great and dog friendly. I love that they serve chips and salsa with brunch (brunch snacks!).
Very happy with the chilaquiles and breakfast tacos. We left very full. The Bloody Mary’s were a bit expensive for the quality but they came with a piece of bacon instead of celery which was awesome. Bonus: huge glasses of water which was awesome as it started to get hot.
I would like to be a regular at this place.
Staff was working very hard, but not reckless. You could see servers getting to tables pretty fast after customers sat down, runners would bring out food when it’s hot and ready, and bus persons were all over dirty tables. I did see one bus person throw some tea or water in the bushes – LOL. Take it in the back, please. I felt the process of getting seated was fast and orderly, and I was not expecting that after having to park down the street.
Ross was our server and he dropped chips and salsa on the table on the first visit. I ordered some queso and everyone got a drink. I could see lots of beautiful-looking margaritas being delivered to other tables, but our table elected for ice tea this night. #OnTheWagon
I ordered chicken tamales and my wife ordered three different tacos. Food came out in out 10 minutes and was hot. Many times, however, I noticed when the runners would come out with food, they had no idea where they were going, and would call out the food items until someone said, “That’s mine.” I watched our food get carried around to a few other tables before it landed.
At first, I thought the plate looked small, but it was a perfect portion. A lot of mexican places simply put too much food on the place. Taco Republic seemed to ease up on the portions, but there was no easing on the flavor. It was outstanding! I tried all the tacos and my wife tried my tamales. Everyone enjoyed everything!
My biggest complaint was that the queso came from the kitchen luke-warm. I’ve see other reviewers saying the same thing. My group is used to queso, at most mexican places, coming out piping hot, burn-your-lips style where you need to wait before you eat it. This was not the case at Taco Republic.
Our order total was $28. My wife and I commented on how we thought it was a great value.
I will go back and I want to try more of the taco options they have when I have an empty stomach. Live the #tacolife at Taco Republic.
