  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal Food and Service!I had an incredible meal at Talkin' Tacos! The fish and shrimp tacos were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The street corn was absolutely delicious, and the Birria tacos & birria rice bowl were savory, hearty, and hit the spot. To top it all off, the service was top-tier—fast, friendly, open late, and welcoming. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

  Really cool place! I got the Hongos Vegan Tacos and they were pretty good! The flavor was simple, but still they tasted good. The food took a little while to come, so do plan accordingly. They did not have many vegetarian tacos as well, it’s very catered towards a meat eating audience for sure. Would love to see them experiment! The staff had great energy, very easy to talk to and high upbeat all the time. Overall really great place. My few comments don’t take away from the presence of the staff and the quality of food.

  I saw the 4.9 rating and was very impressed. We arrived around 810 pm on a Saturday night. There were 2 digital kiosks to order, which made me feel like I was at Taco Bell. The dining area and the waiting area was quite crowded. After we placed our order it took about 5 minutes to get our order. One employee looked for our order and couldn’t find it—another one found it a few minutes later—wish we had gotten it sooner. My son and i shared the taco Triq. I got the bang bang shrimp taco and it was great although it could have been warmer if I had gotten it from the first employee. My son had the birria taco and he said it was very good but no the best and he thought the southwest chicken taco was even better. The key here is to order ahead and grab it when ready-we were just visiting so we were noobs

  don’t even know where to start—this place didn’t just hit the spot after a 14-hour drive, it completely reset my soul. Every bite felt like it was crafted by someone who truly understands what comfort food is supposed to do. The walking tacos? Unreal. Perfectly seasoned meat tucked into that crunchy, salty base, layered with fresh toppings that hit every texture—crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, melty cheese, and just the right kick of flavor. It’s messy in the best way, the kind of food you don’t even try to eat neatly because it’s too good to slow down. And that crunch wrap… wow. The outside had that golden, toasted crisp that gives way to layers of pure flavor—savory meat, creamy sauces, fresh crunch, all wrapped up like the perfect handheld masterpiece. Every bite had that satisfying crunch followed by warm, juicy goodness that just kept building. Then comes the fire steak burrito—juicy doesn’t even begin to describe it. The steak was tender, packed with smoky, bold flavor, wrapped up with rice, beans, and all the extras that soak up every drop of that goodness. It’s the kind of burrito where each bite is just as perfect as the first, no dry spots, no filler—just straight flavor all the way through. But the churros? I’m still thinking about them. Crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, coated in that perfect cinnamon-sugar blend. That first bite had that slight crunch, then melted into this fluffy, sweet perfection. Hands down the best churros I’ve ever had—no contest. After being on the road for 14 hours, tired, hungry, and honestly a little miserable, this meal didn’t just feed me—it revived me. Comfort, flavor, crunch, sweetness… everything I didn’t even realize I needed. 100% better than sex. No exaggeration. Would recommend this place to absolutely anyone. If this isn’t the best Mexican food in the world, I don’t know what is.
