Reviews for Taco Farm in Waterloo, ON
Had a nice lunch at Taco Farm. The food had good flavours and tasted fresh. The highlight was the Mexican corn with cheese, it... had a nice touch of citrus to brighten things up. It wasn't too busy and they seemed to have enough staff but service was a tadunattentive. Read more
Pretty expensive for a argula taco and enchiladas . Not your usual mexican restaurant, didnt see any beans or corns or tomatoes... . Meat substitute is cauliflower which tasted so lame. Got recommended by a frd but not happy . Burrito boys , mucho burrito orany other are more mexican than this local. Place no doubt looked sick and inviting . Staff was great . But food is no go for us Read more
Was really underwhelmed tonight when we visited for the first time. We were seated immediately, the patio was super cute and the... inside of the restaurant had some fun festive decorations. Unfortunately service was far and few between visits to the table,taking quite a long time to take our order and bring the food. We had hopes that tonight was a one-off, low staff or somethingcausing the delays, however reading the recent reviews, can see that others also experienced the same poor service. We bothordered the classic taco platter with buffalo cauliflower. Once our food came out, we didn?t have cutlery and plates. We thoughtit was odd we had to request it. We noticed the 6 tortillas that we each got were 4? tortillas, and the bits of cauliflowerwere so huge that they didn?t fit on the taco shell. The portion sizes also did not match up with how many tacos we should havebeen able to make (salsa was lacking, only enough for 2/6 tacos, etc). For 2 drinks and 2 taco meals, it was over $70. Hopingmanagement sees these reviews and implements some training or improvements. This place has potential, but just isn?t reachingthe bar yet. It was all around not the greatest experience for us. The food was OK (cauliflower had clearly sat under a heatlamp as the sauce was dried up and cauliflower was cold) and our waiter didn?t ask how our meal was. It was just strange to us,as we enjoy dining out locally and haven?t experienced service like this before. Would love to come back sometime if the pricesreflected the portion sizes and better service. We are happy to pay premium prices if the food and service align. Read more
Taco farm is a must go to place. The staff are super nice and the food is spectacular. The gluten free options are better than... other non gluten free places. The fried chicken was some of the best I ever had. Unfortunately didn?t take a picture of that. Check out and I?m sure you won?t be disappointed. Read more
To begin with, the service at this location is extremely terrible. First I thought that they are understaffed/busy which is... probably why they are taking so long to attend us at the front door but over the course of our meal, the place got less busierand the service was extremely slow even when there were just a couple tables with customers. The staff seemed to be more busychit-chatting amongst each other. However, the food, drinks & desserts here were pretty good. Some of my recommendations wouldbe: Calamari El Diablo - this comes with a spicy sauce which is truly spicy; no kidding! We loved it because we love theheat. Mango Margarita & Mexican Mule - fantastic tasting drinks; would love to try others if I revisit. Churros with Dulce DeLeche - OMG these were to die for! We also ordered the Birria Tacos and Taco Platter which were decent tasting. The Mexicanchocolate pudding was good too but wasn't expecting to be spiced up. Their menu; especially the drinks seem to be expensive.Would recommend the place for the food but definitely keep your expectations for the service to bare minimum to avoiddisappointment. There is very limited street parking around the place so expect to go around to find parking. Read more
A nice little spot with a very chill ambience. The space inside is well spaced out and they do have quite a bit of Patio seating... as well (uncovered). The place seemed under staffed as we did have to wait quite a bit before somebody attended to us and tookus to our seats. They have a variety of frozen margaritas here. We tried the Mexican Mule (would definitely recommend) and theMango margaritas. The drinks were really good and it's worth visiting for just the drinks, although it was quite pricey for thequantity. We had the Calamari El Diablo for the appetizers and it was delicious! The hot sauce that comes with it is prettyspicy. We loved it! For mains, we had the Taco platter and the Birria Tacos. Was quite excited to try this place for the BirriaTacos! The platter comes with 2 protein of your choice and we chose the smoked chicken and the grilled shrimps (highlyrecommended!). The frijoles were tasty and the salsa that came with it were good as well. The Birria Tacos came with Mexicanrice. The rice was cold and it wasn't great, would have been better if the dish came without it. The beef shank was pretty goodand went well with the birria consome. The birria consome/sauce by itself wasn't very flavourful. It definitely wasunderwhelming! We tried both the dessert on offer. The Mexican chocolate pudding was nice but our favourite was the Churros withdulce de leche. The churro seemed freshly made and it was great by itself but the dulce de leche definitely elevated it. Youshould definitely try it! We had to wait quite a bit for ordering the desserts as well as to get the bill even though the placewas pretty empty. Overall the place is quite good and it has quite a variety of drinks, appetizers and Tacos to choose from andgo back for, although the service leaves much to be desired. Read more
A cute taco restaurant uptown with a relaxing and chill atmosphere. The service was great, however the food itself was subpar.... My friends and I got the original taco platter and found the tortillas to be a bit on the drier side. The topping portions werealso a bit on the smaller end for the value. The tacos as a whole were decent but not spectacular. Overall, adequate location toget tacos if in the area. Read more
This was an unexpected find! It?s a little place with a lot of personality. There were 2 people working at the time and they... were both very friendly. I ordered the classic taco platter and was not disappointed. The portion was big and the presentationwas so nice! They also have a wide selection of beers and tequilas to help wash everything down. If I?m ever in the area I?lldefinitely pay a visit. Read more
