The food was so good, even though I received the wrong tomato basil soup, still no complaints. The flavor omg!!! The Birra steak and noodles was perfect.

I’m not giving Talking Tacos one star because of the food. My concern is with the extremely unprofessional behavior of the female manager working on Saturday, September 26. She was a Black woman with a buzz cut, and unfortunately, her behavior significantly impacted my experience.
When I first walked into the restaurant, the manager was already using profanity. While I was ordering my food, she continued using profanity and then began yelling and cursing at the employees. I understand that working in a restaurant can be stressful and overwhelming, especially during a busy period. However, being overwhelmed does not justify speaking to employees in that manner, especially in front of customers.
Throughout my visit, the manager remained toward the front of the restaurant, repeatedly yelling instructions toward the employees in the back and telling them they were moving too slowly. She complained that orders should have been ready sooner, even though I personally watched one employee making four burritos at the same time. Despite criticizing the employees for not moving fast enough, the manager was not assisting with preparing the food or helping alleviate the workload.
The employee working at the front with her was extremely helpful. She was walking food out to customers, passing out drinks, handling to-go orders, and assisting people in the dining area. Despite doing all of this, the manager repeatedly complained that she was moving too slowly and not getting food out fast enough.
At one point, a customer asked the manager for a cup of water. The manager told the employee at the front to give it to him. However, the employee was already preparing several cups of water for another customer while simultaneously passing out food. She explained that she could not immediately get the water because she was already assisting other customers. The manager then stood there for several minutes while the employee finished what she was doing. Afterward, the manager took the waters and shoved them into the customer's hand.
As someone who has worked in a supervisory position in a restaurant, I understand that managing a busy environment can be difficult. However, effective leadership requires communication, teamwork, patience, and respect. A manager should be helping their employees during stressful situations rather than standing to the side, yelling at them, and criticizing them in front of customers.
The behavior I witnessed created an uncomfortable and hostile working environment for the employees and made the atmosphere uncomfortable for customers as well. I strongly believe management should receive additional training on effective communication, leadership, conflict management, and appropriate ways to interact with both employees and customers.
Again, my one-star rating is not because of the food. It is because of the management and the behavior I witnessed during my visit. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because employees deserve to be treated with respect, and customers deserve to feel comfortable when they visit the restaurant.

The food is good when the order is right and you can actually get it. Got ignored by the front counter and the manger with short blonde hair. I was thinking ok, they're just busy but she stopped to talk to someone who walked in 10 minutes after me standing there waiting for my two bags worth of orders that were just sitting there. I told I had to two orders and she missed that.
I told her my food was wrong the last time after me getting to get a staff member she was talking to 2 FEET AWAY IN FRONT OF ME to get her attention. C'mon people. At least acknowledge the people that keep the business open.

First off- finding a place that is open this late and this good in tally is an impossible task, so for anyone wondering, this is one of the few. I got the Birria tacos, Birria Mac, and the queso. The mac was alright, since it was really just chunks of birria thrown on top of some mac and cheese. The queso was delicious, and the taki dust on top added depth and texture to it. The best thing I got was the tacos. Man, what crunch on the outside, chew on the inside, dripping with flavor from the consommé, and perfectly cheese-y. If you're looking for a recommendation get that!

A shame that this place didn’t live up to the expectations. I’ve been hearing great things and we live nearby (<5 mins), so we went ourselves instead of ordering delivery.
From soggy tacos (to the point of falling apart) and stale chips to the uncomfortable chairs and employees loudly fighting and complaining, we will never return.
The cute decorations are not enough to make up for the awful atmosphere of listening to multiple people complain over music for more than 15 minutes straight.
The tacos, ordered without salsa, should last more than a 5 minute drive home. Bffr. If you can’t package food to last even 5 minutes, don’t offer TOGO…
