This is one of the best places to get the most bang for your buck. I only visited this place twice and each time my food was amazing. Everything was fresh and hot nothing tasted premade. I had the half-size chicken quesadilla which came with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. The 1st time I ate here I ordered the full size and it took me 3 days to eat. Depending on the day there may be a little wait but its work it. 10/10 recommend!

Tacos are delicious, but they’re not exactly the healthiest option if you’re trying to maintain a healthy diet. But hey, that’s what makes them so tempting! If you’re in the mood for tacos, I highly recommend the breakfast tacos. They’re my go-to choice.

Might look like hole in the wall but you know that makes it good. Great food. Quick service. Can get busy but definitely a go to.

Tacos were great and both sauces good! Beans and rice were underwhelming.

Tornado Taco has never let me down! I ordered the spicy ground beef nachos. When my food was handed to me, it was heavy! I've never had diced potatoes on nachos but that is a great addition! It was loaded with beef and cheese. There were no naked nachos For $8.99, I feel I got my money's worth! I was able to share with my bf and we still had nachos left over. It's almost like a second meal the next day; tortilla casserole. Taco Cabana nachos has nothing on Tornado Taco! I can't wait to try more of their menu items!

The burritos taste okay, maybe because I had higher expectation from other reviews. I think the food is freshly cooked, price is reasonable and the patio is nice. I wouldn't crave the carnitas burrito to make a trip out here for it. If convenient, I'll stop by to try something else.

The nachos were ok for the price point and serving size but the lemonade was horrible. There was no sign on a lemon, sweetness, or even a tart flavor anywhere. Will try again but a different dish since this place came highly recommended but friends.
