Very impressed with their birria tacos ;super delicious! The waitresses are very friendly and always check in to see if we need anything. The drinks were really good, too.
Beautiful area as well!

We came here on a Monday night and had a stellar experience! Our food was absolutely delicious and our server was very friendly! We had a crunch wrap and a salad, both were fantastic. We will definitely be back!

The food was solid but nothing earth-shattering, but definitely respectable. The Rus and Gus tacos were enjoyable, though a little extra Old Bay would’ve taken them from ‘good’ to ‘let me order another round.’ The al pastor tacos, on the other hand, showed up with big personality! Sweet, smoky, and the one thing on the table that felt like it genuinely knew what it was doing.
The Brussels sprouts were the disappointment of the night: some perfectly crisp, others so soaked in fryer oil they never stood a chance. And the cotija? More of a fleeting suggestion than an actual topping. See photo for solidarity in request for more cheese.
Service was attentive and kind, and the overall vibe of the place was fun. I’d give it another shot, maybe I just visited on an off night.

Stopped in for a happy hour bite. Diego was our server and he really went above and beyond. Never had to ask for anything, and his great service and wonderful attitude really made our day! I don’t leave alot of reviews, but he deserves a lot of recognition! Food was fantastic as always:)

The picture I’m sharing says it all, and is the primary reason I will not patronize the establishment~ it’s reflective of a practice in Microagressions 101~ I’m sure there’s some sort of system in place to ensure that anyone who comes into the business is acknowledged and given the opportunity to be made to feel welcome~ Banditos is clearly not the place to do that.
My best friend came in to try for some food, waited 7 minutes to see if anyone would acknowledge her and set the establishment up for success or a positive review but alas, looks like there’s more to fix than the lack of a separate frying system for foods that are known allergens. Can honestly say will not be interested in letting people know about this spot when I can easily name at least two places where the food is as delicious as I know it is in the Southwest where I was raised!

Overall the meal and service was ok. We ordered the seasonal vegetables side. The small bowl contained mostly slightly undercooked large onion pieces and a piece or two of squash. When we asked our waiter he said it normally wasn’t all onions and he offered to give us a to go replacement that wasn’t all onions. Our waiter (seemed like a nice guy) came back without a replacement side and said to us that his manager stated that’s the way this side dish comes. Unacceptable. Avoid the seasonal vegetables side, it’s horrible….
Whoever that manager is needs some training/ coaching on how to easily satisfy a customer. Maybe the manager was having a bad day…

Ate dinner here while visiting my son at college. The service was great and there was no wait on trivia night. We had a chicken burrito and chicken enchiladas. The food wasn’t the traditional Mexican I was expecting but it was still delicious.

Waitress was really nice and helpful in providing recommendations; however, she never returned to fill up water or ask if we needed anything. Had to get tajin seasoning from someone else.
The hostess was also really nice and very welcoming.
Food was underwhelming and lacked seasoning. All the “spicy” tacos were not spicy at all, sweet and sour if anything. Shrimp tacos were bland and barely filled. Not much seasoning or toppings. I couldn’t even taste the old bay or Baja flavoring. The pastor taco was by far the worst pastor taco I’ve ever had in my life. It was all just fat (see picture) , only 3 tiny tiny tiny tiny pieces of meat. It’s so tiny that it is not even the size of a dog treat.
Street corn (although a tad over charred), corn sides, and the avocado taco were good. That’s probably the extent of what may get if we return again.

We ate at Banditos Tacos Restaurant and it was good food, largo portions, the drinks were tasty. Service was a bit spotty. The table was not cleared right away after appetizers or drinks so it got crowded on the table quickly. Our server was nowhere to be found for long periods of time, it was not busy. The atmosphere was fun, good music, great murals on the walls, it was a bit loud. Anyone with sensory issues go elsewhere! But other than the service it was a nice evening.
