Got a bunch of food delivered tonight and was not really impressed. Starting with the Vegetable fajitas... if I were to score these on their own it would be a 2. Good selection of veggies but absolutely no seasoning or flavor. Very disappointing. Decent sized portion but the lack of flavor negated the size. Also got the chicken taco salad. Also sub par. There was literally little to no lettuce at all. Chicken was tender but also lacked seasoning and flavor. Also a 2. The chicken fajita nachos were good though. Lots of toppings not so many chips. Had to add some salsa to make it tastier. The green salsa was also very bland, luckily the red salsa was good though. It's got a nice citrus/vinegar base that added a little bite to the nachos that they were originally lacking. Now for the star if the show... the chicken mole. The mole sauce is fantastic!! Very flavorful. Slight sweetness in a smoky and spice base. Tender chicken and the portion size is more than enough!! Saved the meal from being completely disappointing. Would definitely get the mole again! 5 stars! We also got the taco plate which was good. Couldn't really tell which taco was which but none of them were bad. Unfortunately the salsa that came with the tacos was used on the fajitas/nachos. 3... Overall we were kind of let down. There are too many similar restaurants closer to me to try them again. But if I happened to be close and hungry the mole might be a good choice!

Update: I had to lower their rating since I just had a not so great experience. When you order chimichangas here, it offers queso for 99 cents extra. I asked for that when I ordered my chimi, specifically stating "I'll take the queso for 99 cents" while I pointed at where it says that on the menu. She brought me a queso that was in a bowl the size of a cup of soup. I thought, wow that's a lot of queso for that price. Then I get my bill and she charges me the appetizer price of nearly $7! I brought it to her attention and then soon she comes back with the manager who is not wanting to take it off. I stated that I'll pay half the price since I did eat it and shared it with others in my party but I'm not paying full price since it was the server's mistake. She agreed to that but it left me feeling kinda upset. I believe that good customer service would dictate that the manager realize it was server error and simply take it off the bill. Not wasting time trying to argue with the customer about it or making the customer feel like they're thinking I'm trying to get away with something for free. I don't think I'll feel comfortable going back there even though I like their food. Well, so far I like everything but their crispy ground beef tacos and their tacos al pastor.

Ordered take out and our cocktail was served in 20 oz Coca Cola cups yet were served only just over half full that equated to only 12oz of cocktail I measured out in a measuring glass. Manager states their dine in cocktail is 20oz and when I have dined in they fill the cup full. We also did not receive the correct amount of oysters as ordered that is stated on their menu. When I called to speak to the manager about this she first told me that she’s never had a complaint of that happening before yet when she confirmed with their kitchen they stated it was fault of a new employee. Manager then told me she would not offer any amount of refund and my only option offered was I could return to pick up the oysters they missed on their fault either today or at a later date. I asked why the customer receives less cocktail for take out vs dine in and it’s still the same price, manager then stated they use coca cola cups because they can’t have all the cups for the options they serve. I had called to express my concern with the portion sizes and missing oysters and was taken aback how confrontational manager was with me. Unfortunately scammed to paying expensive seafood prices to not even receive appropriate amount as ordered.

Friday Night, we were a part of 9. They told us 45 min wait. Totally fine, Honestly, we all workout at the gym across the restaurant and we wanted to hang out, eat and have a good time. Well, don’t do it here at Spicy Tacos because you will find rude bartenders that have no idea how to treat a customers on busy nights. She was rude to us, upset that we wanted to sit at the bar while waiting for a table and guess what she told us that if she serve us drinks, we had to go drink them outside in the rain and cold by our vehicles.: “Totally legal right” but I feel that this only happens when you leave your restaurant with kids that have no idea what they are doing. Please train them, it’s so easy to be kind, specially the bartender that acted so bothered by our presence, they even made us wait outside in the cold and rain while they stare at us from the inside, while allowing two gentlemen that were waiting too inside. However, they didn’t have to courage to tell them to go wait outside and do what they did to us. Mind you we were only 4 waiting because the others were waiting at the gym. I don’t remember been treatly so poorly by restaurant staff before. We were very nice didn’t make a scene and took our business to Lupita Mexican restaurant were we spent $$$ on drinks and food all together. If you are in for good Mexican food and excellent customer service. This was such and awful experience, we will never ever...

This place is a good, traditional Mexican restaurant and food. Good service and friendly staff.

There's a notice on the door saying that they had to increase their prices due to increased cost. It's very long and not readable in the time it takes to enter the restaurant.

If you are a long time patron of the place you will likely know that the menu prices are not accurate due to the price increase.

As a first time customer I discovered this when I received my check and one of the items was more than on the menu.

While I understand menus are very expensive to print. A black and white paper copy with the new prices would not have been an affordable solution to this problem and allow someone like myself to have made budget friendly choices when ordering.

As I said, it was my first time being there, so I would not have known that the prices on the menu were the old prices. I attempted to read the note on the door, but it was too much information to read prior to entering the restaurant.

This information could also have been shared with me by the server.

Thankfully this week having my tab be more than anticipated wasn't a problem, but there are times when it can be and it is important to have accurate pricing available.

Thank you for the good food and service. Please add accurate pricing to earn the fifth star. It was your note on the door, even though I could not read it all, that kept your four...
