Taco Teriyaki — Restaurant in Fort Pierce

This place is the absolute worst. I've been here a couple of times because it's one of the only few places that are open late. When it comes to the restaurant, it's always dead and the food is not up to par. It's trying to be three different food genres all at once, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese. This combination does not work whatsoever and the food is just subpar. It's edible but there are places that do this so much better for cheaper. Fried rice with chicken comes out to be almost $14, I asked for my rice to be spicy get whenever I asked for fried rice. What I was given was chicken teriyaki on a bed of fried rice, no spice whatsoever and was given sauces on the side which include yum yum sauce, Some Mexican taco hot sauce and teriyaki sauce. When asking for fried rice, there was no indication that the chicken would be tossed in teriyaki sauce prior. This place specializes in teriyaki sauce, yet their sauce is again subpar. Not only did they not make my order correctly, they don't carry any traditional red pepper flakes or any of that notion. This place is more like a Mexican place that tries to be Asian at the same time. The sauces they gave me aside from the yum yum sauce, does not really fit the type of fried rice I was looking for. I was hoping they would utilize crushed red pepper tossed in with the fried rice and the chicken which would have been done at any other restaurant, especially a Chinese restaurant. But I made the mistake of choosing this place yet again. I will not be returning and I hope this place shuts down and reevaluates itself because this place is doing too much. I'm trying to be too much when it doesn't really...

We decided to try this place, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. One of the first things that stood out was the woman preparing fresh, handmade tortillas right at the entrance — something you don’t see every day and a beautiful touch of authenticity.

We started with a refreshing glass of hibiscus water (Jamaica), which was fresh and flavorful. For our appetizer, we ordered the corn on the cob, topped with mayonnaise, cheese, and crushed Takis — a crunchy, spicy twist that added a lot of flavor.

For our main dishes: •   My wife ordered the birria lo mein (a creative and tasty fusion), •   My daughter had the hamburger quesadilla, •   And I went with the birria quesadilla.

We shared all three dishes, and each one was delicious, but the birria stood out the most — tender, flavorful, and it practically melted in your mouth.

Israel, the owner, was incredibly kind, polite, and funny. He made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. It’s clear that he cares deeply about both the food and the experience.

This place is a true gem in our community. We’ll definitely be...

First time trying this place and I had no expectations going in but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty and the staff were pleasant, they took the time to explain the menu and offer suggestions. We got the chicken fried rice and four tacos. Two with the Al pastor meat and two with the carnitas. The chicken fried rice was an 8/10, was a decent size portion and had a very nice homemade taste to it that was really enjoyable. The tacos Al pastor were also an 8/10 and actually had pineapple which is a plus since most restaurants in the area do not have the pineapple with the meat. Finally, the tacos with the carnitas were a 6/10; the flavor was there and they were definitely soft but were a little too wet and I would have liked them on the crispier side like actual carnitas. Overall, I would recommend giving this place a try and I would say it is a great addition to the small food scene of fort pierce. I will definitely be coming back and giving the other things on...
