" Taco Tontos reminds me of an old-school taco joint but with a trendy twist. They’ve managed to capture the essence of Mexican food while adding some interesting fusion elements. I tried the taco combo plate, which featured several different tacos, every one of them tasty! It was a festive environment, full of laughter and chatter. The staff was quite friendly too, if somewhat overwhelmed during peak hours. It's a place I’ll definitely return to when I crave a unique taco experience! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Tontos has quickly become my go-to place whenever I crave Mexican food. The options are diverse, including many great vegetarian selections, which I love! I tried their chorizo burrito and it was simply delicious; loaded with flavor and had plenty of spice. The environment was lively and the music added a fun backdrop to my meal. Just a suggestion though, maybe they could work on the speed of service—it took a little longer than expected during my visit. Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent visitor to Taco Tontos, it’s safe to say this place has earned a permanent spot on my favorite restaurant list. Whether it's their burritos or tacos, everything is bursting with flavor and freshness. I appreciate that they have so many options, including vegan choices, which are often hard to find elsewhere. The tables can fill up fast, especially on weekends, but the lively atmosphere adds to the experience. Don’t miss out on their house-made salsa—the kick is just right! This is definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love tacos, you must try Taco Tontos! I went on a Friday night and enjoyed the festive atmosphere. The staff was super friendly, and the food was served quickly despite the rush. I ordered their signature taco plate, and I was impressed by the bold flavors and generous portions. Make sure to try out the seasonal specials; I sampled the summer peach salsa and it was a game changer! I will definitely return for more—this place is a keeper. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Tontos has definitely earned its spot as one of my favorite taco joints! The flush of flavor in each bite is just divine. It's clear the ingredients are fresh and made with care. I ordered the spicy jackfruit tacos, and my friends had beef and shrimp; we all loved what we had! The music set a fun tone, but be warned—it can get quite packed on weekends! Still, the service is great, and I always leave satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this place! Taco Tontos consistently provides great food and a fun vibe. Their street corn nachos are a must-try—they are a standout appetizer! I also had the chicken burrito, which was flavorful and substantial. I appreciate the work the team puts into each dish and how willing they are to accommodate modifications. Parking can be tricky, but the overall experience makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" A real gem in Kent! Taco Tontos has such a fun vibe and great food. I ordered the deluxe quesadilla and it blew my mind! The flavor combinations they offer seem endless, and my tastebuds were delighted. The only downside was the parking, which can be a bit challenging especially during weekends. The seating inside is also limited, making it a cozy yet sometimes cramped experience. If you're looking for creative spins on tacos and other Mexican delicacies, this is definitely the place for you! " (*Curated Review*)
