I was reading the lower reviews on Island Taco and it became evident to me that this restaurant has made a lot of improvements... over the years. My family and I all got different dishes and all of them were fresh and delicious. Island Taco does not deserveany of these bad ratings and it?s nice to see a restaurant develop and make improvements. The service was excellent and theemployees were very friendly. Island taco is truly a hidden gem and I would love visiting again. I highly recommend trying thisrestaurant as it is truly a delightful experience. Read more

Great enchiladas for a reasonable price. Great fish tacos, too. Nice service.

Ordered a chicken rice bowl. Portion is generous but also a bit pricer compared to a "burrito bowl" you can get at another... location. I called my lunch order in a head of time and was a bit surprised when I was told it would be ready in 5 minutes.While the rice, beans, and chicken were all warm, I could assume that the chicken was already precooked, versus grilled freshbased on the short prep time. It was also a bit dry. Overall flavor of everything was okay. They have a chilled salsa bar withprepacked cups of a few different types of salsas you can take. These do help add a bit more flavor. The location is small withlimited seating indoors and outside. Parking around the Crossroads shopping area can be difficult as well during peak lunchtime. For many of us workers in Carmel with a short lunch break, there isn't very many inexpensive quick bite options in theimmediate area so while I could say, I've had better elsewhere this spot isn't all that bad and do like having it here as anoption.

Fajita burrito was very tasty. All the food in this plaza is very expensive though.
