Didnt really like that they were playing the news about the Iran war tbh. Really brought the vibes of the place down because while you’re trying to enjoy your meal you’re seeing buildings being blown up and rescue efforts amongst rubble. Didn’t match the “chill bar” vibes of the restaurant.
We ordered tacos and a burrito with beef and both were over saturated with oil to the point where it made our stomach upset. See pictures. We had to use lots and lots of paper towels to pat away excess oil from both the meat and the tortillas which were fried too crispy for my liking. The 4 oz elote was also overly creamy and far far too small, had more mayo and cheese than corn. The cup it came in was also too small to mix all the ingredients and enjoy. For the prices you can definitely get far better tacos just across the street at 100% Taquito or somewhere else. Like, I know the area is a little pricier but the quantity and quality of food just doesn’t justify it. Just seems more like a bar than a restaurant also to be honest. Will not be going back.
I ended up ordering their bowl with no corn, and I was genuinely amazed. The flavors were bold and fresh, and it didn’t feel like I was compromising on taste just to eat healthy. It’s clear they put thought into their ingredients and preparation.
The ladies working there deserve special recognition—they were friendly, efficient, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Their positive attitude and willingness to help really stood out and added to the shop’s charm.
If you’re looking for a place that balances flavor, customization, and great service, Little Taco Shop is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend stopping by!
Tacos come standard with cilantro and onions, but I appreciated that the clerk offered me grilled onions since I am not a fan of raw. The carne asada was the winner of the night. It was flavor packed, tender, and just right. The tortillas tasted fresh, but they weren’t toasted or cooked quite enough for my liking so they ended up a little flimsy. The chicken was just okay, not bad, but nothing that stood out. The al pastor felt more like pork with sauce than a fully integrated dish, and there was a bit too much sauce for me.
They provide both red and green salsa. The green has a subtle kick (I like spicy foods so I may be the wrong one to ask ), while the red is mild and tangy. I’d happily have the red again and again. The chips were light, airy, and addictive while the queso though nothing groundbreaking was still tasty.
Overall, a solid taco spot that with a few tweaks could be great. In fairness I may have hyped this place up too much in my head and set unrealistic expectations.
Celebrated Cinco de Mayo here and it couldn’t have been a better pick. The margaritas served in fun pouches were a hit. We had the lychee and watermelon guava flavors, both refreshingly unique. I tried the El Pastor, chicken, and carnitas tacos—super filling and flavorful. Three was more than enough.
The 8 oz queso with chips was perfect for sharing, and the tater tots with a fried egg (forgot the name, but unforgettable taste) tied it all together, especially with their house hot sauce.
The vibe is chill and the bar setup makes it a great spot to grab bites, sip drinks, and catch a game. Highly recommend.
Small Heads-Up:
There’s limited seating, so if you go during a busy time, you might end up waiting or needing to take your food to go.
