Overall, reviews describe Dirty Tacos as a place where the food shines with fresh, flavorful Mexican flavors and well balanced fillings, especially the birria tacos, beef with cheese, and pork with pineapple and onions, with lightly charred tortillas and house made sauces that enhance rather than mask the meat; guests also mention solid options like pupusas, quesabirria, veggie burritos, and loaded nachos, all described as delicious and reasonably priced. The dining experience is mixed in terms of service and setting, with many praising friendly and speedy service while others report dismissive or inattentive attitudes and a lack of warmth; the space is described as small, cozy, and more kitchen than seating, making it feel better suited to takeout or pickup than for lingering meals. Several reviewers note portion sizes have shrunk compared to earlier visits, calling prices disappointing given the smaller portions, though the quality and freshness of ingredients remain high. Overall, Dirty Tacos is seen as a strong option for authentic, flavorful tacos and related dishes, recommended to try a range of options and to expect great taste even if the dine-in experience may vary.
Nous avons pris les tacos au poulet & les nachos classique. La nourriture était très bonne, mais il manquait de sauces sur les nachos. (nous avons demander à la cuisinière d'en rajouter) L'ambiance étai très calmes, nous étions les deux seul clients dans restaurant. Les prix étaient un peut cher, mais les portions en valaient la peine. Nous avons pris le restant de nos nachos pour emporter. Je recommande & j'y retournerai pour essayer d'autres plats. 🌮👍

Petit resto très chaleureux. La dame était tout seule, mais malgré ça, service hyper rapide. Portions généreuse. C'était délicieux je vais certainement y retourner. 🥰
I recently visited this restaurant & ordered two different tacos: the beef with cheese tacos served with homemade sauce, & the pork tacos with pineapple & onions. Overall, the experience was very satisfying & exceeded my expectations.
The beef tacos were excellent. The tortillas were lightly charred, giving them a nice smoky flavor while still being soft & fresh. The beef was well-seasoned, juicy, & paired perfectly with melted cheese that added richness without overpowering the meat. The homemade sauce was a standout element-it had a balanced flavor that enhanced the tacos rather than masking them. It tasted fresh & clearly made in-house, which added a lot to the overall quality of the dish.
The pork tacos with pineapple & onions were equally impressive. The pork was tender & flavorful, & the pineapple added a subtle sweetness that complemented the savory meat very well. The onions provided a bit of sharpness & crunch, creating a great balance of textures & flavors. Every bite felt well thought out & satisfying.
The presentation was clean & inviting, & the portion size was generous without feeling overwhelming. Everything tasted fresh, & you can tell care was put into both the ingredients & preparation. Overall, the food was delicious, well-balanced, & clearly made with attention to detail. I would definitely return & recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality, flavorful tacos.
If only the service would be at the same level as the waitress attitude, this place would be amazing, thank you sofia to make sure I will never come back. / Si solamente el servicio seria al nivel de la actitude de la mesera, seria maravilloso. Gracias Sofia po asegurarte de que nunca voy a regresar, tu mala actitud en todas las veces que me atendiste me hizo saber que nunca mas quiero regresar ahi...
Had the chance to try their tacos when they first opened & tried it again recently. Did a great job changing menus & adding new stuff. Food was great & highly recommend!
My friends & I tried a few different options, & the Birria tacos are definitely the best. Pupusas were good too! The reason that I'm not giving it a 5 star is the employees barely acknowledging our presence, almost made us feel like we were interrupting their conversation & bothering them.
Absolutely excellent! A work collegue & I popped in today for the first time & ordered the Pupusas & they were a DELIGHT! I had the vegetarian version which is the cheese & bean one with the medium spicy sauce for dipping & it felt like I went to heaven!
Nothing like some authentic Mexican food to add some color to dreary November.

Probably the most authentic taco spot I've ever beeen to. Great service, great prices & the most delicious Mexican food I've had in a long time. I highly recommend this spot. 😋
This place is insanely delicious. The staff is so sweet - the place is a cozy hole in the wall & the food is beyond words - its so good. It's dangerous to have this place so close to my home
