Taco Taco Poway – A Hidden Gem for Mexican Street-Style Eats Tucked away near Walmart and right next to the DMV, Taco Taco Poway is a local hidden gem that delivers quick, affordable Mexican-style street food. Though the interior is modest and a bit cramped, this casual spot draws regulars with its budget-friendly menu, unique taco options, and laid-back vibe. --- 🌮 The Food Taco Taco offers a solid variety of Mexican staples, from tacos and burritos to appetizers and combo plates. I sampled a few of their most talked-about tacos: $0.99 Fish Taco – One of their best-known deals. It comes with shredded cabbage and a small piece of fried fish. While it’s a great value, the portion is understandably small and the flavor is basic. Pulled Pork Taco – The standout of the meal. The pulled pork is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and pairs perfectly with their tangy BBQ sauce. Highly recommended. Octopus Taco – A specialty item. The octopus is tender, but lacks freshness, which slightly detracted from the overall experience. Surf 'N' Turf Taco – Topped with scallops and chopped beef. While the scallops were decent, the beef was underwhelming, lacking both flavor and texture. Overall, the taco quality varies depending on the protein, but there are some real gems to be found—especially the pulled pork. --- 🍽 Atmosphere & Service The restaurant itself is small with limited indoor seating, which can feel a little crowded during busy hours. There’s self-serve water, and staff interaction is minimal. The ambiance is casual and no-frills, but there are some nice touches, like a bar shelf decorated with small, colorful Mexican crafts that add cultural charm. --- 🐶 Pet-Friendly & Parking Outdoor tables are available, making this a dog-friendly spot for those who want to dine with their pets. The restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking, so finding a spot is rarely an issue. --- ✅ Final Thoughts Taco Taco Poway may not look like much from the outside, but it offers affordable, fast, and sometimes unexpectedly delicious tacos in a convenient location. The pulled pork taco alone is worth the visit. While not every item hits the mark, the overall experience is solid for a quick bite or casual lunch—especially if you’re in the area for errands or a DMV appointment. Read less
