Food: Mediocre food nightmare

For a place that boasts variety, the menu at Taco Beach is pretty monotonous and hard to navigate. The so-called best dishes, the Grilled Shrimp Taco, Chips & Salsa, and the Street Tacos, have been criticized as bland and lacking freshness. It's like the chef is fishing the ingredients straight out of a frozen food aisle. On the bright side, the portions are generous and reasonably priced.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portion sizes consistently appreciated, offers satisfaction.

  • Okay Variety

    Menu offers various options but can be hard to navigate.

  • Bad Taste

    Frequent use of words like 'bland', 'mediocre', 'awful' show significant disapproval.

Vibe: Harshly noisy dinner scene

Do you know when it feels like you're dining inside a rock concert? That's the ambiance at Taco Beach - loud music, obnoxious party atmosphere, but hey it's busy, so it must be hip, right? Even the drinks, while being varied and special during the happy hours, don't seem to drown out the clatter for a pleasant date night.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive drink menu; consistently praised for variety and happy hour specials.

  • Okay Buzz

    Busy and a bit noisy, indicating a casual but lively local spot.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Loud music and obnoxious party atmosphere were disruptive and unpleasant.

Perks: Mixed bag in services

Though they try to accommodate large parties with sufficient seating space and have a cozy outdoor patio for conversations, the perks are overwhelmed by the repugnant noise and difficulty in parking, which became frequent troubles at peak times. They tread a flimsy line with their service quality, while impressing with family-friendly environment and kid meal sizes.

  • Great For Kids

    Generous kid meal sizes and friendly environment for family dining.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed experiences with service quality, though often friendly.

  • Hard To Park

    Small lot leads to parking difficulties during peak times
