They charge for every little thing!

by zx6lady

The online menu is woefully outdated; the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans that online say $6.95 turned out to be $10.45--quite a difference! They bring you salsa (which we didn't ask for) and leave it on the table and when you ask for chips to go with it they charge you for them--I've never heard of another place doing this. The menu doesn't warn you that the chips and salsa are not complimentary. The guacamole is very good but not worth the price for the small amount you get. The rice and beans are tasteless and the chips are hard and cold. We paid close to $60. for 3 of us and we did not have any alcohol, only 1 Coke! The wait staff is not very attentive and they weren't busy when we were there (we were the only ones on the deck and only a few inside). I definitely won't be going back and I'd never recommend this place to anyone.

• Pros: Great guacamole!
• Cons: Chips are cold and hard, food is way too expensive!

Fresh, tasty food at reasonable prices

by millvalleylover

I've been a regular at the Taco Shop for almost 4 years so I have sampled almost everything on the menu.

One of the many features of this little jewel is the freshness of the food, the subtle spices and flavors and the careful way it has been prepared. The chips are hand made on site. The complimentary salsas, made from quality produce, are outstanding and there are dozens of bottles of salsa spices lining an entire wall inside the restaurant for anyone to use.

I also appreciate the quality of service and the cleanliness of the shop. The wait staff is attentive and friendly; happy in their jobs and loyal to the business.

There is clearly a lot of attention made to the decor; hand picked pieces come from a variety of sources adding much to the colorful ambiance.

I'm happy to note that given the steady stream of business from a class clientele, this wonderful gem of an eatery is going to be around and thriving for a long long time and I expect to continue to frequent the Taco Shop often.

• Pros: Unique recipes make this a special place to eat

Am I in Baja

by tanyaristau

I love the food! It's just like the food I love to eat in Mexico but without the airfare. On a sunny day you can even catch a tan. Lots of outdoor seating. Do not leave there without having the salsalito taco I love it so much that I eat three of them every time I go there.

• Pros: cheep eats
