OZ Tacos & Tequila

"Upon my initial anticipation of Oz's Tacos, I was met with an underwhelming reality. Despite assuming it to be named after the proprietor, a certain 'Oz,' the Wizard of Oz theme was more kitsch than captivating. The decor, albeit attempting a Wizard of Oz ambiance, was tacky at best. If one claims a Wizard of Oz theme, a bit more finesse in decoration wouldn't hurt, and can we please retire that cringe-worthy "Toto, I believe we're not in Mexico anymore" sign? If you're going wizard, commit to Oz. Now, about the acclaimed "Best Taco in Rhode Island" title on their website – a conspicuous absence of any accolades or signs except for a minuscule note by the hostess contradicted this grand claim. The stretch to assert they're the best in the state is laughable; perhaps they meant the best taco during a specific week, or best within their community, or possibly, best in the narrow strip mall they occupy. Moving on to the food – swift service isn't always a virtue, especially when it hints at pre-prepared, lackluster tacos. The rapidity left me suspecting that my meal had been languishing under a heat lamp. Despite a quick turnaround, the taste suffered, and the speed was unnerving. Our server, whose name escapes me, bombarded us with a litany of items not on the menu. Fresh menus were a luxury, and I had to swipe one from another table mid-use. To sum it up, this establishment is just mid and overpriced. I would probably have to be drunk before going."
