★★★★☆ 4.0 Brandy I · Oct 2025

The menu was simple tacos, tortas, quesadillas and burritos. I ordered the Steak Taco dinner. The food was flavorful. The steak was an inexpensive cut but seasoned well. The rice and beans were good with a good consistency to both. The salsa verde was the most unique I have ever had. It had a smokey chipotle like flavor. Very good. I'll eat here again.

Good tacos, nothing too crazy. A tad bit more expensive than other places i’ve tried but I believe it’s the best spot of tacos in peoria so far that i have come across. The place itself is a bit small but i think they’re expanding soon. Overall a 7/10.

Found this taco joint in East Peoria while I was in town for business. Excellent tacos made the right way with cilantro, onion and lime. Their taco sauces complimented the tacos well. They had two. One hot and one mild. Guy that worked there was super friendly and helpful. He let me try a small sample of their rice and beans since I did not order with my meal. They were good, as well. Not a ton of room to eat inside, but it’s large enough since most people eating tacos eat and go. The guy working the counter told me they are moving to a larger location soon with more room and ability to sell alcohol. I wish them luck at their new location and hope they are able to grow their business since they have fantastic food. I will be back when in town. Enjoy!

Tasty tacos describes this place to the T. The tacos are fresh with authentic ingredients. The hot sauce is HOT with a little kick to it. The three taco lunch specail is filling and worth the money. this is a must try.....

This is the place for Authentic Tacos. The vegetarian tacos were delicious. I would prefer Guacamole instead of Avocado slices. Burritos were great too! I would go to this for Tacos and Burritos but Rice and beans was too heavy for me.
