Sloppy Taco Palace

Locals seem to enjoy it here. It’s been around forever. The menu is cliché, and it’s kinda trashy to be honest. I’m not offended by the vending machine, but it is definitely dumb. It’s great if you enjoy a cluttered, crazy atmosphere, but that’s all it is. There’s not the right vibe for what the community actually needs. It would be way more chill if it was like Austin’s in Winter Park or Drunken Monkey downtown, with open mic nights and/or vegan or vegetarian options. It would be awful if yuppie developers bought it and turned this location into some “trendy” hipster spot, with boring pinterest ambiance, ha. But! I think the area could stand it if more of these types of places grew to become a little more bohemian or beatnik in nature. Eh

The tacos are sloppy but this is not a palace, try again. Servers have the best jokes. Nice.

This is a cool spot with amazing murals and fun upbeat music! Food is good. Fast and quick

Service--Sucks Came in for lunch by myself. Originally was going to sit down and eat there but when I walked in no-one said hello instead they eyed me from the bar at the end of the place. So, thinking that they were busy, I used the bathroom to wash my hands. I walk back out and still not a single acknowledgement that I exist. I went up to one of the guys and asked if I could just sit anywhere. I did. Still no-one said a single word to me. So I walk to the bar where one of the workers were and decided to order takeout instead. They handed me the menu and stared at me. I order and she gives me a receipt then no words were spoken to me after. After about 30 mins, I asked the same lady I ordered from how much longer. She says, "Well it just came out, so can you just give me a minute?" Mind you, a couple came in after me and she thoroughly described the menu to them the second they sat down and asked them if this was their first time. So clearly she knew what to do to give good service but deliberately chose not to. Also, for context, there was 3 people total in the place eating and 3 people working at the joint when I was in there. Food--pretty good Rice was very well done, big portions, but chicken was burned so I was chewing hard bitter pieces of meat in my rice bowl. They practically drowned the bowl in sauce--wont be ordering the sauce next time. I am a big believer in tipping even if no "serving" was done since I have served/waited before but I definitely did not tip this time. I felt like I was in a videogame where interaction is only triggered if I came up to the NPC''s small vicinity. Truly an uncomfortable experience overall.

food is amazing! best service, best service from Adria
