South Depot Taco Shop — Restaurant in Oxford

I think I want to like the idea of this place more than I actually like the reality of it. I've been here several times over the last few years and the people I come with are always excited about it. To me, it's like a locally owned (I think) Chipotle or Moe's. It's a burrito... let's not act like it's a lifestyle. Their meats are generally pretty good along with most everything else, but there's nothing that really sets it apart. Booya's has their own little idiosyncrasies that make it special, but south depot is just another overstuffed burrito. The last visit, I tried the tilapia on my burrito and it was really not good. Texture and flavor were like it had been left in a warmer overnight and the only reason it was edible was that it was carried by the rest of the ingredients. The guy who put it together even gave it a sad look before piling it on with a tiny pile of beans and rice. If I'm in Oxford, I'll pick BBB, Volta or Neon Pig just to let you know my general taste. South depot isn't really my style so much and after this last visit, I'll try not to go back. It's fading into mediocrity and I can't say I'm...

Similar to Subway, but for Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, etc.

PERFECT for vegetarians because there's no charge for extra veggies (except guacamole).

Pick a "meat" of your choice from fried fish, pork, chicken, steak or even TOFU. Load up on black and/or pinto beans, yellow rice, melted and/or shredded cheese, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, jalapenos, green peppers, 3 different salsas, pico de gallo, sour cream, cilantro, and all kinds of sauces.

I usually get nachos and pile on the veggies so high that I can barely find the chips. It's way more than one person can eat at a single meal, but even when I share it there's always some left. And they've always been happy to put the jalapenos in a container on the side.

Also I usually get my order to go because I don't care much for the loud music/sports bar atmosphere.

Tips: Go early or late because at 12 they're often swamped with a line nearly out the door, especially on football weekends. And if you're part of that huge line, figure out what you want BEFORE you get to the counter and you'll probably have a better experience with...

I was a little surprised, due to all the good reviews of this place, at my experience here. There was no greeter and no signage to direct one to the pickup counter. This is definitely not a deal breaker, just something I noted. I made my way to the back counter and was not greeted by any employee nor told to have a nice day etc. Wait staff need to have manners for all patrons, especially those who leave a 22% tipon a pickup order! The fish taco might have been decent,as the slaw portion was actually quite good, however, the fish tasted like someone pulled it out of a fridge from yesterday, and didn't bother to reheat it. It was actually cold. The soft tortilla was also cool and mildly stale. The pork taco was bland and cool. There was no reason for my order to be cold, as I picked it up promptly after receiving notification it was ready. Possibly, they were just short staffed or having an off day, but from my experience, there are far better places for food in Oxford. Perhaps the dine in, build-your-own option makes for a better experience at this establishment. I will not be...
