"Amazing! Employees were very friendly and service was fast! Food was great - all the tacos were delicious but the Costra was out of this world. Drinks were good as well. Will definitely be back!"
"A very atmospheric choice for a meal, the interior is a delight for the eyes and the patio makes a great day even better. The Taco Chelo Salad is incredible (I like mine with barbacoa), and the Jamaica Drink pairs perfectly. Treat yourself to delicious food and wonderful atmosphere!"
"My first time at Taco Chello. I liked the chips and salsa and guacamole! Tacos were good! Cheese quesadilla is good. I like it when they open the big window! I’m going to come back for the tequila"
"Perfectly hip taco spot in the heart of Roosevelt Row. The salad was fresh, delightful and full of unique twists. The gluttonous pepper wrapped quesadilla was deep fried goodness. The only subpar part was the veggie tacos- sweet potatoes and too big a chunks to have bite sized goodness. The flavor was decent, but I feel like other options could have been offered for vegetarian diners. Service was spectacular."
"I do not have the time to revisit restaurants too often, but when I have a taco craving I do like to make my way to come here. The fish tacos are great as well! I love their salsas and service is quick for how busy they can get. All the photos I attached to this review are from different times I have been here. I have probably come here 10+ times which often for me. I mention that, because it speaks to how often I make my way to go downtown and attempt to find close parking just to eat their tacos. Love it here!"
