Nestled in the middle of a shopping Plaza, you walk into the open courtyard with lights draped from one rooftop to another, lots of comfy seating, a water fountain in the center and a spot setup for selfies (if that's your thing). An employee immediately opened the door and welcomed us inside, asking if we had been here before. When we said no, he directed us to the kiosk and explained how it worked. After several minutes (the people in front of us had no idea what to order), this same employee brought us a tablet to order directly from, we placed our order and sat down, our food was delivered within 10 minutes. They operate fast!! Everything was delicious We both decided on Trio Street Tacos - El Pastor, Carne Asada, and for the 3rd, I picked Mahi Mahi while my wife chose the Caribbean taco. As an appetizer we ordered street corn in a cup (this has a tiny spice but gone before you can say "hot"), Horchatas (delicious and refreshing), and Churros (Cookies & Cream and Dulce De Leche), because how can we pick just one flavor! The Churros.... some of the best we've ever had. Especially the Dulce De Leche, it was very difficult not to eat all of it! Our main course of Street Tacos did not disappoint!! The Mahi Mahi was lightly battered and fried. It was moist and fluffy and had a great combination of flavors. The Caribbean is super tender and juicy. My wife said, "Heaven just touched my mouth", lol, I admit it was pretty delicious! The steak and plantain paired perfectly together. Both the Carne Asada & El Pastor were amazingly tender, juicy, and packed so full that meat spilled out. It is absolutely worth the price of the food we received!! Someone mentioned the taco shells, they were not bad, slightly crispy around the edges yet soft on the inside. If the taco is falling apart, it's only because there is so much delicious juice in these tacos. The entire staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and always making rounds to make sure everyone was taken care of. Inside also has tons of space for sitting at the bar or at a table. Everything is florescent and brightly colored. I loved all the cute neon signs and other pun signage. Who doesn't love a good pun now and then!

Came here 3/29 for a date night dinner and wasn’t disappointed. First let me say I was concerned about the pricing thinking it was too much. That was until I saw the portion size ratio. We ordered a chips and guacamole which were good. The guacamole was super fresh and tasted really good. The chips could’ve used some salt but hey my blood pressure is high enough lol. My wife had ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos that is corn tortillas, lettuce, fried shrimp, spicy mayo, pickled onions and cilantro. Which I sampled and it was so good and the shrimp was so crunchy. I of course ordered Carne Asada Tacos that is corn tortillas, marinated steak topped with salsa verde and cilantro. The steak on these bad boys was literal perfection and the flavors were amazing in every way. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We also ordered some churros to go (no pic) with cookies and creme which were really good too. Wish we had them at the restaurant when they were first cooked I am sure would’ve been 100x better but hey they were great anyway. Don’t miss this place. Also the decor was great too loved the splash of colors here and plenty of seating inside and out.

Talkin' Tacos is truly outstanding! I cannot wait to come back. We were greeted by the most wonderful hostess. Great start! The inside of the restaurant is so much fun. It's colorful and bright but so relaxing and inviting. You order what you want from a kiosk and then you go sit where you want. Our food came out piping hot with in minutes of sitting. My husband and I got street corn with crushed takis in a cup to share. It was really good! I just wish it had more lime and cilantro but that's just my preference. I got steak al pastor tacos for my entree and they were seriously some of THE best tacos I've ever had. So flavorful and seasoned perfectly and stunning to look at. Top tier tacos! I enjoyed every single bite! I also had a blueberry mojito mocktail, and it was so delicious. So delicious! The service was amazing, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect. I can see why this place is highly rated. I definitely recommend and I can't wait to bring some friends here!

Overall, it was ok. I would not willingly come here again, however. Felt it was overpriced. ~$15.99 for three tacos. We got carne asada, al pastor, and bang bang shrimp. I got the al pastor, and I truly thought it was just steak with pineapple added. It was definitely not your traditional al pastor and did not taste like pork. The bang bang shrimp was good, not great. Carne asada was not very flavorful. The rice was dry, but seasoned well. The beans were good. I saw great reviews about the hortchata so I was excited to try it. Completely disappointed. Not traditional AT ALL. It was their own take, and honestly I don't believe they should advertise it as horchata. Tasted like it was made from milk vs rice water. The best way to describe it was the milk after eating cinnamon toast crunch. I would categorize this place as tex mex. We took it to go, so we didn't address it with staff, but the interaction we had with staff during pick up was good.

I got there around 9pm on a Saturday and it was still bussin pretty good. This was my first time. I was greeted at the door and asked if this was my first time. I was explained that if you use a credit card, you can use the ordering machine (like McDonald's) and if I pay cash, i can do this at the bar. They do not sell any alcohol, all drinks are virgin. I didn't have to wait too long for my food. I sat at a table enjoying the beautiful decorations. It's vibrant, young, and put together very well. It give out a great vibe. The food itself tasted delicious, however, it was cold. Not luke warm but cold. Almost like it has been sitting on something cold. Because they don't s sell alcohol, we took our food and went next door to southern swells brewing Co. I guess the two made a pact since one only sells booze and only sells food, they allow you to drink and eat at either place which was pretty cool.

I was looking forward to going here after surfing because I heard their birria tacos were good. They have a nice computer kiosk that you order at with pictures, so I immediately thought the service was going to be non-existent. I was pleasantly surprised, the staff was proactive and attentive. You pre tip so, I tipped lower not expecting much, but I'll definitely bump my tip up next time. I don't like pre-tipping for this reason. The atmosphere was fun and funky with the expected sugar skulls with added neon. The bathroom was clean. We started with chips and guacamole, pretty much what you would expect. They brought out some house salsa and guacamole sauce that was good and unexpected. My birra tacos were good, not great, but definitely passable and I would get them again. The biggest thing was the birra seemed rushed and tasted thin. I will definitely go again.
