“ I always enjoy getting lunch here! The food feels very fresh and authentic. It’s also reasonably priced. Moreover, the seating area is great and can accommodate large groups making it a good option for dine-in. ”
“ A family favorite. I'm so glad to see how they have grown and developed this location over time, and the tacos and tortas have remained great and appropriately priced. Salsas and toppings are delicious and don't hold back on spice. Hope to continue to enjoy for a long time! ”
“ Definitely up there for THE BEST authentic tacos in Columbus, Indiana. Been going there since they were at the smaller ice cream shop next door and now they have a cool upgrade! I usually get the hawaiian alambre (comes in half a pineapple) and the HORCHATA! Definitely don’t miss out on this. ”
“ Great place for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, Mexican food. Fast service. Good size portions. More on the pricey side. Servers are nice, attentive. Place is clean. ”
“ I went to TaColumbus yesterday, loved it so much that I dragged my wife back today. The tacos are fantastic and fairly priced—I tried marinated pork, beef tongue, and fried beef, but the pork stole my heart. Pro tip: each taco comes with two tortillas, so if you’re crafty, you can stretch it into two. The hibiscus tea was another win—bold and refreshing. It starts off a little strong, but once the ice melts, it’s just perfect. I also love how TaColumbus has grown from a small, street-style spot into a bigger, hip space with bold graffiti and a unique vibe. Columbus needed a place like this, and I’m so glad we have it now. One small suggestion: the sign out front is a bit hidden (especially if you’re coming from the Five Guys side). A banner or two would help new visitors find this gem more easily ”
