“ What can i say, the best tacos I’ve ever had. This place is out of this world, their quesabirria is so good which is their specialty, their tacos can’t even describe. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants but this one is my favorite. ”
“ Came here for the first time a few weeks ago and already went back to order take out. The food is phenomenal and the service is just as good. Our service was some of the best I've had in a long time. Our server was taking orders, wiating tables, also helping package food to go and busy expediting as well as providing excellent service and gave great recommendations for us first timers. The food tasted great- we had the quesabirria, birria flautas and a couple of tacos. I also tried the birria torta and birria pizzadilla (to-go) a week or two after dining in. All of the food was just really good. Portions are generous. The consume was perfect. Everything was delicious. The flautas came with a lot of sour cream and cabbage- a great option to share and have some veggies/condiments with other dishes. The quesabirra was one of my favorite things. That would be first on my list of things to get next time. I'm really excited to have discovered this place. ”
“ Highly recommend stopping in for a TaconMadre (blue corn tortilla with steak, beans, guacamole, and cheese). So flavorful! You won't regret it. ”
“ Ordered for lunch a few times for pickup and every time it is better than the next. Everyone in the store is very kind and welcoming. The food always exceeds our expectations and they have vegetarian options that are awesome! ”
“ Ordered delivery. It was all very good. My favorite was the Queso Boom Especial, though really, it was all pretty top tier. I encourage using the red and green sauces provided as they really elevate the experience. The guac is more on the citrussy side of a flavor that I'm used to, but it was still pretty good. Initially, I saw the green beans in the rice and was hesitant, but i actually really enjoyed the side of rice!! Total green bean rice enthusiast. All around, it's a positive experience. ”
“ Where do I even began!? This place has been on my bucket list and it did not disappoint one bit, the freshness of the food the owner is beyond fine and so attentive to everything. Place is extremely nice, very modern and extremely comforting. I highly recommend TACO BOOM to each and everyone. They also own an ice cream shop next to the midway location taco boom, can’t wait to try that!!! Full tummy happy camper ”
“ Took an unexpected trip to Taco Boom with an acquaintance and immediately fell in love! Discovered this place through a food review content creator on TikTok and immediately had to come out and show support. Not only was the service phenomenal but the food was bomb! Me and my company really enjoyed ourselves and love that we had the opportunity to experience this place :) ”
“ We all ordered different small entrees. All affordable. The salsa they give you is more like a hot sauce and they call it salsa, but it is good. Just not chunky with chopped tomatoes, etc. Our party of four all enjoyed their entrees. It's a simple no frills place, walk in, get seated, and food is brought out when done. It's truly authentic Mexican food, which is why I recommend it. Our waitress was very nice. I have attached photos. ”
