Customer Reviews
When walking up to the restaurant there is a sign that says “Warning! May cause a taco obsession, find out why today!” EXTREMELY MISLEADING. I cannot believe I came here when I was craving some good tacos. Find your way over to Federal Blvd. before coming here. The presentation of the tacos was pretty good but deceiving. Birria taco tasted sweet like cinnamon/brown sugar and overall all of the tacos and salsa needed a LOT more salt. My tacos came out cold (assuming there wasn’t a heating lamp). Cold, salt less tacos are not what I came here for. Adding some lime did little to nothing at all 🚩 The crema was good and same with the pickled onions. I ordered a Paloma and it tasted like water with a hint of tequila and a couple drops of grapefruit. My partner ordered the Spicy Mezcalrita and it
Some super flavorful and juicy birria meat! Loved the birria tacos accompanied by the consome, rice and beans 👌🏻 The fish taco and green Chile tacos were also delicious! Great salsas overall and guacamole w/chips 👍🏻 good portions too. Very clean, bright, casual indoor dining area. Good place for family meals.
Brought my family from out of town here for a quick lunch after finding it via Instagram influencer and was a bit skeptical when we walked in. However, Taco Uprising delivered and was VERY good! Highly recommend the margarita flight, all of the flavors were really good. The green juice one was super refreshing. One of the best birria tacos I’ve had. The green chili chicken was really tasty, especially in the quesadilla. The fried chicken taco was the only one I could take or leave. It was good, but didn’t “wow” me like the others. The service was awesome, we needed some help with my dad’s medical device and the staff went out of their way to make sure we got set up how we needed. Didn’t love the del serve order kiosk, but it worked out just fine. The place is no frills but it doesn’t
The tacos were great! The plantains were fantastic. And I will be comparing every espresso martini to the Mexpresso from now on. The birria and señor potato were the winners for tacos. Kind of a small spot so if you have a large party you might have to wait for seating but paties of 2-4 had no wait
Found this place on a whim for a later lunch. It was quiet when we went in; but they were about to get slammed. The owner helped us through our order; navigating allergies and creating something not on the menu. Presentation and flavor was great. I ordered way too much but wouldn’t change a thing. The chips and nacho cheese were also perfection. I’ll come back someday for the Marg flight.
