La Taquisa

La Taquisa’s owners Scott & Sindy will tell you: - Everything is made from scratch - less the Valentina’s & soda. - We only use local, antibiotic, hormone free meats. - We proudly serve authentic family recipes. But they’re forgetting, that their food is absolutely delicious and has remained the same price for years - they’re the cheapest in town, by several dollars per meal. Over the years, and the hundreds of times I’ve dined there - I’ve only ever had one issue, which was a salsa missing from my order. Chucked it up to them being human, and me ordering an exorbitant amount of salsa. 😅 I’ve tried every meat and veggie option, and every salsa, the guac, and the refried beans. It’s all good.

This isn’t exactly secret, but is available in their online menu although the in-store menus haven’t been updated, but can be ordered in-person. They’re coming up on their 15th year having brick-and-mortar locations: - Downtown in the spring through early fall has a large outdoor courtyard, the Fort Commons, that is shared with other businesses the border the space. - Vic West has a row of bar height seating with stools, and a few tables outside. Any nit-pic comments or drawbacks mentioned in other reviews are more than made up for with the value that they’re offering, which is why they’ve earned 5 stars despite not being literal perfection.

We had catering for 80. Food was fantastic And and plenty of it. Scott was wonderful. A bunch of our guests asked us who had done the catering. And the fact that it was all gluten-free was absolutely fantastic. Very positive experience!
