Tacos Los Cholos

Rating: 3/5

"Tacos Los Cholos Review Every time I pass by Tacos Los Cholos, I notice the line wrapped around the block, with every seat taken and no standing room available. The parking lot is always packed, which is a clear sign of a bustling business. Intrigued by the hype, I decided to arrive at 10:30 AM to be one of the first in line when they opened at 11:00. Unfortunately, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment. Despite trying a premium taco to give it a fair chance, I found the meat lacking. On the bright side, the salsa and poblano chili were delicious—definitely a highlight of the meal. The wait for my order was quick, and I must say, the salsa bar is outstanding. However, will I be returning? I don't think so. While I understand that everyone has different tastes when it comes to tacos, these just didn't resonate with me. Their salsa is so good I could drink it, but ultimately, the large size of the tacos doesn't matter much if I don't enjoy the main ingredient. To each their own, but that was my experience."

"Randomly discovered this place and was seriously impressed by the food! I ordered the asada flour burrito and the baked stuffed potato with skirt steak, both were packed with flavor. The BBQ on the meat was incredible, adding a rich, smoky taste that really stood out. I also tried the beef rib taco, which was equally delicious. I topped some bites with the orange-colored sauce from the sauce station, highly recommend giving that a try. Definitely ordered more than I could finish, but everything looked too good to pass up. Worth every bite! This place is super busy, tons of people but the wait was not bad."

"Lets cut to the chase — the food at Tacos Los Cholos is crazy good. We ordered asada, pollo and adobada tacos and stacked them up with onion, cilantro and salsas from the salsa bar. All the tacos were awesome, but the real standout was the rice and beans. It's such a simple dish, but done right. The aguas de sandia and piña were refreshing and on point too. Prices can get expensive if you only order the "premium" or "prime" items. Cash is king and will also save you some money. The place looks kind of ragged, but I think that's the look they're going for. There was an armed guard standing by the door. I don't know if this place gets rowdy at night, but everyone was chill around noon Parking can be a pain. It was semi clean (due LOTS of people) and the staff were friendly."

"The Best? Not really, specially to take home. Long line, take too long. Condiments (different kind of salsa just OK). Some meats quality or taste is good (skirt and beef ribs) Pizza is quite interesting. Taco skin on thicker side. Would I come again? Not really."

"Tacos Los Cholos - Loaded Tacos, Lethal Salsas. In a world where Taco Bell and Chipotle have become synonymous with ‘Mexican’ food, one begins to wonder - is there still room for a more authentic take on the humble taco? It’s a Thursday night. The carpark’s looking like a game of Vehicular Tetris, while a line of hungry bystanders trail haphazardly out the door and onto the footpath. The restaurant itself is intimidatingly busy. Between hurried waitstaff weaving between riotous patrons, the bustling self-serve stations and orders being called out constantly, there’s an awful lot to take in. It’s loud, rambunctious, and in your face - but that’s all very fitting considering the food being served; after all, what good taco isn’t bold, punchy and a blow to the senses? Inside, the interior looks a little gaudy, even tacky. Animated flames lick the menu screens, with eclectic font choices evoking memories of a junior high’s PowerPoint presentation (WordArt is still cool okay!). Despite the.. inspired design choice and general flair, the menu presents a ridiculous number of items on offer - while impressive, it’s undoubtedly overwhelming for newcomers and indecisive patrons alike. Saying that, with 14 protein options for tacos alone, there’s bound to be something for everyone, even if the average patron has no idea how to pronounce half of them. Even for those of us familiar with the more authentic side of Mexican cuisine (and I’ve eaten my way through Chipotle’s menu, so I’m obviously well versed.. right?) the first bite of the tacos here is a near religious experience. Savoury, and zingy - with each bite a revelation, and every note hitting perfectly in this salacious symphony of salsas and spices. With mountainous mounds of meat atop each taco, it’s no wonder they’re cradled by double tortillas - there’s more than enough fillings for an extra taco with what drops out while they’re being lovingly obliterated by the hungry hordes. Needless to say, you won’t leave hungry - as if with food this good you’d want to leave at all. Naively, I thought I had a grasp on Mexican food before now, but little did I know I was about to transcend to a higher plane of existence, where the humble taco is elevated to something closer to a taste of heaven than the soggy $2 slop most have settled for on a night out. The self serve saucing station is a spectacle in itself - with 6-8 salsas along with a lineup of traditional taco accoutrements, pure bliss is only a spoonful away. It’s a savoury pick’n’mix for the indecisive looking to level up their taco game, and man, does it ever deliver. Each salsa hits hard in its own way - no weak links, just liquid gold with a punch, every single one. But such praise comes with equal warning; select your (sadistically unlabelled) sauces carefully - while all are undoubtedly delicious, some will truly have you walking that fine line between pleasure and pain with heat levels ranging from the gentle warmth of a lover’s embrace, all the way to face-melting regret in salsa form. I tell ya, I’ve met the devil and I’ve tasted the fires of hell, fresh from the Taco Los Cholos’ sauce station. It’s a testament to just how damn good the food is though, that despite the chaos within, the crowds keep coming - and really, that’s all part of the experience. Whether ordering to-go or eating in, there’s a buzz in the air, and you can’t help but be drawn in to the full throttle fiesta that is Tacos Los Cholos. Say ciao to Chipotle, and ta-ta to Taco Bell; instead, treat yourself to a little TLC at Tacos Los Cholos."
