Visited here on a Monday night, which is taco night. Thereâs a choice of beef or chicken, soft or crunchy. The crunchy tortillas are blue corn. The chicken is rather bland. According to our server, better seasoned tacos are available, but arenât included in the special price. Crunchy beef tacos were great. Iguana dip (espinaca) was tasty, as were the smokinâ nachos, which were blue corn chips topped with smoked chicken and cheese. We would have ordered dessert, but the server didnât offer it, so we decided to skip it. There are several TVs around the dining area, so it could be a good place to watch sporting events. Hey Andy, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We're really happy to see that you found the tacos to be appetizing. It was a pleasure to have served you. We hope that you'd stop by more often and also try the other dishes we have lined up for you!

We've been here several times and they had good drink specials and we were pretty happy with our meals. Taco Tuesday platter however was extremely disappointing. The shells were tough and hard to chew, flavor was lacking. The waitress was slow and never asked us how our meals were. I think we are done here.

First time at this chain. Service was friendly and helpful, with an added dose of fast. Nice fun decor and clean all around. Good choices on menu and staff is able to accommodate food allergies in a knowledgeable fashion. Portions were ample. Food was flavorful. Definitely a place to put into rotation for a dinner out now and then.

This isnât the best Mexican restaurant in town, but itâs pretty good. The lunch menu is rather small, I wish they would expand it. I would especially like to see a greater variety of tacos available for lunch.

We love this place! Anything you get here will be delicious! I've had the chimichanga, Enchiladas Bandera Mexico, Tacos al Pastor... all good. The atmosphere is really cool too as far as the furniture; I'm pretty sure it's either handmade here or bought from Mexico. Margaritas are good. Pina Colada is good. I could eat here every day.

Iâve eaten there twice in the last month after a recommendation from a friend. I had the quesadilla the first time and the three soft tacos the second time (fajita, barbacoa and shredded beef). All very good. Simple, delicious, fresh. The chips and salsa are really good too. Extra props for having normal rice that is JUST RICE. Iâm so tired of Mexican restaurants putting vegetables in the rice. Thatâs disgusting. I just want rice. And this place does it right!The service is very kind and attentive. Small, quaint atmosphere with some outdoor seating as well.Definitely recommended and Iâll return without a doubt.

Itâs a bit over priced for the food. Not crazy, expensive - just a dollar or two more than what you expect. But the food is delicious. The chicken tamale was perfectly cooked. Moist. Flavor. Rich red sauce. And about the size of a hubcap. The enchiladas were amazing as well 9th itâs spinach/cheese sauce. Itâs worth the visit but hereâs the beauty of Kmachoâs; If thereâs a huge wait - just walk next door to the market and enjoy the tacos and tamales.
