Daddy's Tacos NV — Restaurant in Reno

I could go on forever about Daddy’s Tacos, but let’s start with what really makes this place special: the owners. Hands down, one of the most community-driven, heart-centered power couples I’ve ever met. They’re not hiding behind the scenes they’re out front, working side-by-side with their team, greeting customers like family, and genuinely showing up for their community. If you’re a regular, chances are you’ll end up friends with them because that’s just who they are.

Now let’s talk staff…incredible! Attentive, hard-working, and warm. I hosted a private client appreciation party here and my guests couldn’t stop raving about the service. I also host a monthly networking event for local women-owned businesses at Daddy’s, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. The vibe and the hospitality are unmatched. Bonus: they have a fantastic private event room and they’re always hosting cool happenings of their own.

OK, now to the food. I’m a dairy-free girly, so I haven’t been able to explore every menu item—but let me tell you, their street tacos are next level. I always go for the carne asada (because it slaps every single time), but I’ve tried every taco they offer and not a single one has missed. They’re flavorful, fresh and addictive.

They recently added a salsa bar—bless them—because their salsa? Stupid delicious. And don’t even get me started on the guac. I could eat a bowl of it with a spoon and call it self-care.

They also have a food truck and do catering, just in case you ever find yourself needing more tacos in your life (which, let’s be real, you absolutely do).

Thanks for reading my love rant! Keep up the good...

Authentic Mexican cuisine outlet that serves simple and quickly prepared fast-food with flavor and freshness at a fair price for the everyday local workers, as well as the Reno breakfast and lunch patrons.

The restaurant, which is at the end corner unit of a building block attached to other partioned businesses, against the backdrop of nondescript industrial businesses section near the private Reno airport 🛫.

The ambiance is utilitarian and the layout is a large and clean order/service and dining area separated into 2 sections by a wall. Vibrant and colorful murals celebrating Mexican culture adorn the walls of the eatery.

There are also authentic Mexican garments, bags and handicrafts for sale, and gathered together at the back of the dining room section.

Service was good and a friendly demeanor by the attending staff member.

The Tacos 🌮(Al Pastor and Birria) were good and the meat 🍖 tasted fresh.

The Torta (Asada meat 🍖) was huge and can easily be shared by 2 persons with a fairly good appetite.

Both dishes were well-seasoned and the Tortillas were soft and enveloped the meat and garnishes layed atop.

The dipping sauce for the Tacos 🌮 had the adequate amount of flavor that complemented the flavors from the Tacos without overpowering it.

Overall, it is a good Mexican quick service restaurant that focuses on simple street-style dishes, that are fresh and given high-quality ingredients catering to the local workers (given its location along the industrial area and the local private airport) and visitors alike.

So, the tacos are delicious, however, be very wary of hiring them to cater your event. We booked them months in advance for our wedding reception and, literally the day before, they canceled. The reason was that Valentine, one of the owners we had been working with, catered an event where our reception was going to be held a few days previously and had issues. There was a miscommunication about being able to cook inside and they ended up having cooking in the area on the side of the building. Trying to make this work (on the phone with her and the manager of the business holding our reception during our wedding rehearsal) we wondering if they could cook the food beforehand and serve it at our reception. Valentine said it would effect the quality of their food too much and would compromise their reputation. Then she said she had such a bad experience cooking outside at the previous event and with the other manager (who, in the end, actually gave us the go ahead to cook inside just to help us out), that she canceled...the day before our wedding. Not sure what reflects worse on your business: serving pre-made food or canceling your business contract the day before someone's wedding. Nobody at our wedding could believe a small business would actually do something like this. Luckily Beto's, another local restaurant, came to our rescue and catered our 80 person reception last minute, making tacos, beans, rice and a salsa bar ahead of time and serving it at the event. And guess what, they were delicious! Definitely recommending Beto's for all your taco...
