Turco Taco — Restaurant in Naples

The tacos here are good ... but the service is WAY TO SLOW. For all intents and purposes this is a single serve taco stand. They serve small street taco size tacos that will take you maybe 5 or 6 bites to finish. Ive been in here a few times and each time between waiting in line to order and actually receiving the taco... it typically takes 20-30 min. They tend to have a single register open and for some reason most people seem to struggle with what would typically be a very simple menu. Each time i come in here there are only 1 or 2 people in front of me ... but it will take just about all of a lunch hour to get one, eat it, and rush back to work. In my opinion they need a better process, because you can literally go to five different places with tacos within a few blocks from here and grab a couple tacos in easily half the time. While i understand that you're trying to satisfy each customer, there is nothing wrong with asking them to step aside while they decide, not let them hold your single register captive while they review the entire menu with the staff... Good Food overshadowed by a poor process. While i can appreciate the owners response below... opening a second register while customers are "getting educated on Mexican cuisine" doesnt seem like a big ask... 20 to 30 minutes for a street taco smaller than a dollar bill is excessive ... any place you go, the tacos are made to order and be it Maria's or Pastrami Dans a block away ... (where the tacos are amazing by way) ... your food is made and handed to you in just a few minutes ... but i suppose if you are looking for an education with your street taco then this is the place...

20/10 RECOMMEND!!! I met the owners, Rebecca and Oz last night and they were extremely personable, friendly and just overall a wonderful time and Turco Taco has been on my radar for some time so the time finally came! And i am impressed. I tried the carne asada, tinga and mariscos with mahi. The guac as well as the street corn. WOW!! The crunch of the hard shell taco held up strong and sturdy. The soft shells too, didn't get soggy or rip even with how packed full they were. The guac was insanely refreshing!! The chips were super crispy but thin so they didn't feel so heavy yet they could withhold heavy scoops. Im seriously so impressed. The street corn... WOW!! Words cannot describe how impeccable that was. Seriously the best street corn I've had maybe ever. Now let's get into salsas. The chimichurri was my all time favorite. Blended smooth and the perfect spice. Molcajete was slightly less pureed but had an amazing smokiness to it as if the peppers were charred. Even the house salsa was incredibly flavorful!! For dessert i got the churros and they were fried to perfection and so fluffy on the inside. Hot and fresh and the chocolate complimented it beautifully and wasn't too sweet like most usually are. On top of this wonderful food experience Berkay was the waffle cone to this sundae. He gave 10/10 service, ensured I was taken care of and personalized this experience when I thought it couldnt get any better. So a massive THANK YOU to Rebecca, Oz, Berkay, the entire kitchen staff and front of house. You guy are killing it and continuing to blossom. This is not the last youll be...

Got a to-go order today. Opened up my packaging and wondered why no plastic wear for the street corn...oh, chips will work. Didn’t know I got them with the order. Ordered 1 fish and 1 shrimp. Nice girl at the counter said there was a salsa bar in the corner but someone was in the corner grabbing some salsa so I thought maybe next time. The tacos were of excellent quality but lacking any flavor. The taco shell (soft) itself was outstanding. Wish I had got some salsa. The street corn was awesome. Only giving a 3 as the price is a bit steep for the size of the taco and only 1 taco. Jazz up the flavor and give me a call to try again.

Round 2: Walked over to get some 5 star rated tacos. Placed my order and waited 24 minutes. People in front of me waiting as well. My food never came and I only have 30 minutes for lunch, so I left without saying anything to management. Hungry and not happy.

Round 3: Placed my order online. Walked to Turco and it was almost ready. Grabbed 4 different salsas to try. Walked back to work with my tacos. Round 3 was much better. The Pescado (fish) was bland again but with salsa it was much better. Al Pastor (pork) was really good with the pineapple and cilantro. The corn is simple awesome. The communication with the owner is awesome as well. I want to give you a 5 but it’s more of a 4.5 in my mind. Thank you for the plastic wear and napkins this time. ...
