Food: Food variety not the best

Blue Plate Taco's menu covers a Three Musketeers of favorites - Chips and Guacamole, Fish Tacos, and Short Rib Tacos. Simplicity might well be at the essence of creativity, but their approach doesn't really cajole your tastebuds with novelty. The portions could do with an upgrade, and the colors on the palate from the variety are far from a Pollock. It's the sort of place where you'll find the chips over-seasoned, while the mains could do with a little more.

  • Almost Creative

Perks: Parking can feel like a maze

Finding a place to leave your vehicle might feel like navigating the Labyrinth here. The quirks that thrill you on arrival could soon be drowned out by rising decibels, as if the music is trying too hard to be in sync with the restaurant's atmosphere. The diet-conscious among you could find the menu accommodative, but we wouldn't vouch for this place if you're tripping with a lively group. They do have a special menu for your dog though.

    Restaurant warmly welcomes pets with a special dog menu available.

  • Okay For Diets

    Vegan and vegetarian options exist, but may require modifications.

  • Bad Service

    Complaints about slow service and rudeness, negatively impacting dining experience.
