At 4 dollars a steak taco, I was expecting a delicious taco. What i received was anything but! Whatever the ground meat was in that taco was not steak! It was dry and has the falvor of card board! Chips and salsa were good, but that was about it. Overall, parking was tough to find, and the food was sub par. The food gods did not smile on me this time!

Pork Screw City Taco is awesome, the chicken and steak was pretty lackluster. Service was pretty decent but not as I’ve come to expect after visiting their truck multiple times. Needed some tables cleaned off but it was just a bit after lunch time so maybe they were really busy.

Great plant based and vegetarian options. High quality ingredients great flavors and hot salsas! Definitely on the list for a return trip with friends and family. Awesome fast alternative to standard chains.

To be honest this place is either a hit or miss, I love the fact that they have have vegan chorizo however having one thing vegan and having regular cheese is kinda like an oxymoron. Thank you for offering vegan items but please get vegan cheese to help out your fellow vegans ALSO the tortillas need WORK. There is ALOT of hype on their torillas HOWEVER they taste like your basic american made tortillas there is literally nothing special about them, taco bell makes the same tortillas ………..they are suppose to be corn but taste like flour. I would take EL millagro over these quote on quote “good” tortillas…Prior to becoming vegan their Screw city tacos are amazing but again please fix your tortillas or outsource to something that tastes authentic. Their original City Market tacos were 30 times better than how they are now which was about 3-5 years ago. Expanding has down graded their quality ……

TLDR: Catered my wedding, the tacos were fine, but adding the rice and beans side felt like a huge waste of money for what I got.

It was a little pricey (not full for 18$) but I was not disappointed by the quality of the food. Lots of flavor without being over salted. Nice people keeping the place clean and food came fast. If I had too much money I’d be here regularly eating double what I ordered. Sorry you lost a star because I’m poor:p

Giving this place 3 stars because for the price of the tacos they definitely lack flavor. Before putting salsa on the tacos they didn’t taste like much. I was expecting better flavor. Overall a cute place just needs a little bit more flavor.

In a city graced by a wide assortment of Mexican cuisine, Cantina Taco is exceptional. This restaurant taught me that my 3 favorite Spanish words are: Birria, Carnitas, and Barbacoa.

Went for birria tacos… They were good, but not the best… Too expensive as well… Over 30$ for two orders? Wasn’t terrible but not impressed…
