Excellent service. Food tasted great, however it was cold. I ordered food with no cheese, and it came with cheese. It was quickly remedied. I gave a 4 star being cold. I recommend this place. Good with vegan options. Small inside eating area.

Very tasty. We had Barbacoa tacos with aujus and chicken tacos and were very tasty. The ground beef tacos not so much. The beans were very nice. The rice was a bit dry and no flavor. But altogether really tasty Mexican fast food.

Had a delicious taco lunch at The Outpost today! My husband and I had tried one of their family meal packs when they first opened and found the food bland. Today’s was a 180 degree different experience. Three of us ate and we all enjoyed the tacos and tortas. The owner is just as sweet as can be too, and that makes for such a welcoming environment.

Im surprised by the high reviews which is why I took a chance to try, the rice and beans were very dry and pastor was not cooked, I recooked on my stove since it’s pork and the steak had no flavor and extremely chewy, the chips and salsa(not salsa just pico) was stale and no flavor. The chicken was the only thing that was good enough to eat as ordered. Won’t eat here again.

Que Sabroso! I came here a year ago twice. I think originally I got their taco dinners and I thought the food was alright. This time, I got the torta and chips and salsa and I was blown away. The flavor and size of the torta is fantastic! The salsa was indeed hot and I got great tasting chips. Not sure what changed over the year, but I’m glad I came back to give them another chance. I’ll definitely have to come back!

Great vegetarian options while still maintaining authentic Mexican foods. I’m very happy I found this little place. I always get it to go but there are tables if you want to eat inside. Casual atmosphere.
