Taco Place

This is probably the best Tex Mex around here. Taco King and Express Soft Taco isn’t up to par with Taco Place. I don’t know if their food is authentic Mexican food. What I do know is that if you want shareable delicious portions at a cheap price, look no further. I ordered their burritos a couple of times and find them to be quite filling and delicious. Most places are cheap with meat portions, but not Taco Place. I also had their black bean taco and found the black beans creamy and tasty. The Tostada Salads are very crispy. If you order by phone and come pick it up, the chef won’t put the fillings inside until you are ready to pick up your food. He does this so that the filling doesn’t make the crispy shell soggy while you are on your way to pick up the food.
Place is clean and is more suited for take out than dine in. Finding parking nearby can be a challenge.
–1 star because they are so cheap when giving salsa and sour cream. Tostada salads come with thousand island dressing, which isn’t a great complement.

Been coming here consistently since I discovered this place right near my house. Great service, nice owners/​employees, good portion sizes (not too big), good prices, nice fresh and clean food. What I like the most is that the food is not too heavy or greasy like most Mexican food. Love the supreme nachos along with shrimp & cheese quesadillas. Only downfall is cash only* Debit cards would make it much more convenient.

Clean food that tastes OK, though wish they would cut the queasadillas into four pieces. Décor is definitely no frills, but that helps keep prices low. There’s a television and free wi-​fi. Service also pleasant. Come here regularly.

A man (or woman, for that matter) is nothing without their dependable neighborhood takeout place but when I want something different than the usual Chinese food, this casual, unpretentious Tex-​Mex place fits the bill. Forget the fact that they’re actually run by Chinese owners and that the only effort toward ethnic authenticity in this place are the two sombreros and the painting of a flamenco dancer hanging on the wall. You don’t come here for cultural studies; you come when you want fast, cheap food. I’ve never waited more than five minutes for my order, and that’s even with the time it takes to grind out the flour tortillas, which are made fresh to order.
The menu seems to cover all of the appropriate Mexican food cravings — tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, over-​rice dishes, and tostada salads. Special combo meals, which start at around $ 7, include at least one protein, 2 fresh tortillas, rice, your choice of beans, lettuce, tomato, salsa, and sour cream. During my last visit, I ordered the mixed vegetable combo and found it fine for a meal, if a little bland. The ‘vegetable mix’ was a slightly over-​steamed and under-​salted variety of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and mushrooms, but with the addition of salsa and seasoned yellow rice, it was more than decent. My meat-​eating fiancé found his entrees far more interesting, so it would seem that the vegetarian options (which are denoted on the menu with a red star) have almost been added as an afterthought. Still, we’ve been more than happy with the prices and the speed with which the food comes out. Another surprising perk is the television mounted in the eatery, so that dining in amongst the humble and faux Mexican décor doesn’t seem nearly as unthinkable a prospect.

Did you know…
that Mexican food is the most popular ethnic cuisine in the United States? I didn’t either but this fact is boldly printed on the front of Taco Place’s paper menu. The menu also boasts soft tacos that are made in-​house, for whatever that’s worth.
I’ve tried many tex-​mex places in my lifetime and this one is pretty solid. Their burritos and combo specials are all quite good. I most recently ordered the steak combination, which comes with rice, sliced steak, black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and two grilled flour tortillas. Their food is tasty without being over salted. The steak was actually pretty tender, unlike the steak at some other take-​out places that I’ve tried. The portions are just enough to leave me content without giving me that crazy itis that makes me want to pass out.
The place seems fairly clean and even has a big screen TV, which is the first I’ve seen in any take-​out joint. Their service is friendly and prompt, also a plus. I believe this place was formerly known as Fresh Soft Tacos, as there is another listing on Unilocal with the same address. Now it’s called Taco Place (not Palace).
In an area replete with take-​out options and restaurants, these guys are definitely a go-​to for a quick and delicious bite.
