Food was lovely. Service was good. area serving food was located in bar area which was very loud & was uncomfortable. We just ate & left quickly. This is not a location for a casual chat over dinner.

Food was fab but the setup is not ideal. We booked a table for 3 and got a table for 2 with an extra chair added at the side which caused abit of a squash. The noise level in restaurant was very loud...not great for a girly catchup when there was loads of conversations to be had. The worst part of the night and which lead to the low overall star rating was the flies. We were battling flies at our table, at our face at our food all night..it was a nightmare. Really enjoyed the food but unfortunately none of the 3 of us would return to that particular location.

The starters (wings and crispy squid) were lovely, and the dessert (summer berries) was also really delicious. The tacos themselves were bland. The salad, red cabbage, etc, in the tacos were all very fresh tasting but the meat (steak, pork and prawn) had no seasoning or spice. That was pretty disappointing.

Food was only ok. Wraps tasted burnt. Not much flavour. Veggie chilli side was the best thing about the meal.

Squid appetizer was unreal! so much flavour. Squeeze cheese used on nachos was the only thing I didn't care for. Waiter was great, super friendly and recommended great beers/cider. A little pricey for what you get, but its in the city center so I have come to expect it.

Had a great dinner here with a friend before a concert. The food was fresh and really tasty and the service was very good. We shared 4 starters and a summer berry dessert, which was amazing!

I had been to Taco Taco once before when it was in Dame Court and thought the food was amazing. I was very disappointed this time though. The starter was fine - but our two mains were a big let down. They were both dry, bland and underwhelming. I had the hake tacos. I thought the fish was very dry and lacking in flavour, and the tacos just had some sweetcorn and tiny shreds of lettuce with some sauce. The chips were fine. Food is definitely not good enough for the price of it. The staff were very friendly and nice - that's the only pro I can think of.
