I decided to try Tacos 4 Life on a recommendation. I stopped in during a week day for dinner, and upon arriving and seeing the store front and signage, I was rather excited by the bright neon presentation. Upon entering the restaurant and walking to the counter, it took around 5 minutes to be greeted and have my order taken. I ordered cheese and bean burritos, and the spicy chorizo tacos, and was given a placard to take to a seat of choosing, the staff brought my meal to my table shortly thereafter. The bean and cheese burritos were rather unseasoned, the taco sauce being offered really helped kick up the flavor, the dip offered with the chips that come with the bean burritos, had a nicely seasoned bean and cheese combo, that was slightly cumin forward. The chorizo tacos were stuffed with ground meat, street corn, and topped with deep fried jalapeños, the fried jalapeño was crunchy, the street corn crumbly and soft, the flours had the flavor and texture of your average grocery store tortillas, the ground meat was cumin and paprika forward with a hint of garlic, with a little more chili seasoning than typical American tacos, which helped elevate the otherwise average ground meat experience. Overall I’d compare the experience to del taco wrapped in a shiny hi-point style theme. Nothing amazing here, but if you’re looking for a different offering of American tacos than taco bell, it gets...
Read moreRarely leave reviews but the incompetence here is on another level. Tried first time and the toppings I ordered on the side were on the taco. It was otherwise good and the store was new so tried it again a week later. Ordered two tacos again, got the complete wrong type of taco for one and the wrong type of tortilla on both. The 2nd taco had every topping on it, despite selecting to remove one and have the others on side.
I would have avoided this place but my kids were dying for tacos tonight. Ordered two plain ground beef tacos for them and they come smothered in sour cream…the one thing you can’t just remove. I order a steak taco and since I hate onions, do what I believe to be the logical thing and select to remove them. Well…covered In what looked like EXTRA ONIONS.
Not sure if there’s a problem w the ordering system thru website and door dash, or maybe the cooks can’t read? Or are just flat out that careless but it is a shame bc the food I have been able to eat...
Read moreIt was our first time here. Tacos4life in Ballwin just opened last Tuesday. You can get a free taco when you download their app and sign up for reward program. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Service was friendly. We both got the Dip&Dine $12.99 which including 3 tacos and 1 dip, and a kid meal - chicken and queso rice bowl with a drink. For dip, I loved Guac a lot more than Salsa. For taco, I really liked firecracker Shrimp (spicy), blackened Mahi mahi, crispy eggplant, and Hawaiian shrimp. When you order shrimp, you can choose grilled or fried shrimp. I ordered both to try and imo grilled shrimp is much better.The Korean BBQ taco tasted good, but the beef was chewy and dried. I didn't like mango habanero taco as much as I thought. Highly recommend - especially when you buy a taco, you provide a meal to a...
