" What a delightful eatery! Taco Tontos is a feast for the senses, from the vibrant decor to the mouthwatering menu. I came here with friends last weekend and we decided to share a variety of dishes. The highlight was definitely the taco salad—so fresh and packed with flavors! Each bite was a combination of crunch and zest. The staff made our experience even better with their friendly service and quick attention. Also, it's a great spot for some tasty craft beers! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kent, especially if you love tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Taco Tontos recently and wow, it’s an experience! It's not your typical Mexican joint at all; you can tell they really take pride in experimenting with flavors. I ordered a crispy potato taco, which was unlike anything I’ve had before, and it had a delightful kick. The atmosphere buzzed with energy, and the service was friendly although a bit slow, especially when we had to wait for drinks. Still, it’s a place I'd recommend to friends and would absolutely visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so many things about Taco Tontos, and I finally made the trip. I was excited, yet wasn’t sure what to expect. What I found was a warm atmosphere with lively music and friendly faces. The menu is vast, featuring everything from tacos to burritos, and each dish had its own unique twist. I went for a shrimp taco, which was flavorful but a tad salty, while my friend enjoyed a chicken burrito loaded with toppings. The portions were generous, leaving us both satisfied. I plan to visit again soon for another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Taco Tontos and it definitely won’t be my last! I ordered the taco salad and it was huge, absolutely packed with toppings and flavor. The vibe of the restaurant is relaxed and casual, which made for a nice evening with friends. The only small drawback was the wait for food; it took a bit longer than I thought it would, but it was worth it once I tried my meal! The friendly staff and cool decor made up for it, so I’ll be coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Tacos in Kent! Seriously, everything here is top-notch. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with an energetic vibe and the smell of delicious food. I have never been disappointed with a single order here. Their fusion tacos might not be 'traditional', but who cares when they taste this good? I've tried nearly everything on the menu, and I can't choose a favorite. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Taco Tontos is a must-visit if you haven't been yet!

" 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*)
