If you want to sling tacos and tequila you have to be in the right place. Bourbon Street comes with a long history of being the centre of West Edmonton’s restaurant and nightlife scene, so we knew it was the perfect spot to plant our taco flag (yes, we have one in the back) and open up “shop”. Walk down the bustling promenade and let the energy of our cantina draw you in. Come check us out and let us feed you tacos and tequila!

    Although the atmosphere of The Taco Shop is energetic and fun, the food seems to lack the attention to detail. The beef tacos were watery, and had to be eaten quickly before the corn tortilla completely dissolved. The ceviche too, although plentiful, was drowning in too much liquid. The margaritas were good at best, when the expectation in a restaurant of this kind would be great to mind blowing. Our server was friendly, but seemed overly concerned with us providing positive feedback. Well, here is my feedback…when a customer finds a piece of aluminum foil in their food, some concern would be nice. Offering another portion when everyone at the table is finished eating is just not good enough.

    Authentic guacamole made at the table. I had the Blackened Salmon - lots of food and very flavourful. Highly recommend😊

    It was ok. Service wasn’t great. The table wasn’t cleared till the bill came. Had to ask for napkins, cutlery and more drinks a few times over. Server maybe just had too many people in her section and not enough help.

    It was the worst experiences of my life, we waited 30 minutes and we had no service at all. People around us were sifted after us and they got there orders taken right away. We didn’t stay, I will not be going back to Thai place and I will let my friends and family know about this experience as well.

    Terrible service. Server was friendly but never available. Waited an hour for drinks. Wasn’t even offered water. When I asked another server passing by, it created tension with our original server. Tables for two are tiny and don’t fit all the food and drink when eating. Lots of people unhappy waiting for servers. When servers are available, very friendly.

    This is the second time for us at Taco Shop, and this time we brought out of town friends. Everyone loved their food. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Very cool looking restaurant and lots of seating. Will be returning for a third time.

    Second time here. Loved it again. Very accommodating for a family with a stroller. Service was good, just felt that our server was a little over busy so a few things were missed but it was Saturday. Food was amazing, could have had another serving. Again, outstanding place to go.
