Not traditional street tacos, but SO GOOD! Great service, great food, great merch. We liked all 8 tacos we tried. Messy, don't come on first date ;)
I'm up here with my coworker for a conference and I hadn't eaten anything all day. We were given a one hour lunch break and since it was within walking distance of the hotel, we came here to eat. Walking in, the place is a decent size, but very limited seating. The menu's electronic and it was hard to read and understand. It was also super fuzzy and tiny font. I docked a star for this because half of us were standing there squinting. I will say the food here is fabulous. I ordered two Oxacada tacos and there were so spicy I couldn't finish. My coworker got a salad and she really enjoyed her meal. Drinks here are from the cooler and no fountain drinks. Boo hiss, I like fountain pop! (refills as I am heavy on the liquids. I really enjoyed the food here a lot, and even though it's nothing super fancy, definitely worth eating here. Prices are decent but worth it's weight in gold. eat here if you can!
These are not traditional tacos, but if you looked at the menu you already know that: ambience is decidedly on the funky side. Meatless and vegan options are clearly labeled (I was a bit confused by a dip with bacon being listed as "Vegan" but the fairly wordy menu text stated that without bacon was an option). The more red text there is for an option, the hotter it is. The restaurant is on the corner literally next to a public lot in downtown Midland. Inside, at least in the wintertime, the lighting was a bit dim but the food was fine. My companion had chicken tacos; we shared an order of sexed-up bean dip (no bacon). No drinks, though water and plastic cups are available if you look. The bean dip had a kick to it; basically the bean dips are toppings on top of a basic bean dip; knowing that now, I'd give it a good stir before tackling it. The seasoned chips were dusted with salt and some sort of chili; I prefer 'em plain. For me, the medium level of spice is about perfect; the "Xander" was a bit weird (sweet?) but I liked the taco with adobo chickpeas and a little red text. The chicken tacos were also apparently good. If you like your tacos funky and like lots of vegetarian / vegan options, stop by.
The restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly. We ordered vegetarian items and were very impressed by the number of vegetarian and protein options on the menu. Would love to see some seafood options in the future, but perhaps those are seasonal. The nachos were our favorite. The spicy guac is actually spicy and the queso is really good. Probably the best place in town for solid nachos. Unfortunately we weren't impressed by the tacos. We felt like they were overstuffed and bland. We tried several vegetarian and vegan tacos but weren't huge fans. Maybe the meat tacos are better? We asked for a straw and the gentleman said they charge for straws so that was interesting. We would definitely come again for the nachos though!
AMAZING!!! I had the Spike Nachos with chorizo. I love spicy and they definitely hit the spot! They also looked picture perfect. The service was great and super fast! HIGHLY recommend!!
