Review Taco Farm - Waterloo

Hamont Reviewer
Taco farm is a must go to place. The staff are super nice and the food is spectacular. The gluten free options are better than other non gluten free places. The fried chicken was some of the best I ever had. Unfortunately didn’t take a picture of that. Check out and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Was really underwhelmed tonight when we visited for the first time. We were seated immediately, the patio was super cute and the inside of the restaurant had some fun festive decorations. Unfortunately service was far and few between visits to the table, taking quite a long time to take our order and bring the food. We had hopes that tonight was a one-off, low staff or something causing the delays, however reading the recent reviews, can see that others also experienced the same poor service. We both ordered the classic taco platter with buffalo cauliflower. Once our food came out, we didn’t have cutlery and plates. We thought it was odd we had to request it. We noticed the 6 tortillas that we each got were 4” tortillas, and the bits of cauliflower were so huge that they didn’t fit on the taco shell. The portion sizes also did not match up with how many tacos we should have been able to make (salsa was lacking, only enough for 2/6 tacos, etc). For 2 drinks and 2 taco meals, it was over $70. Hoping management sees these reviews and implements some training or improvements. This place has potential, but just isn’t reaching the bar yet. It was all around not the greatest experience for us. The food was OK (cauliflower had clearly sat under a heat lamp as the sauce was dried up and cauliflower was cold) and our waiter didn’t ask how our meal was. It was just strange to us, as we enjoy dining out locally and haven’t experienced service like this before. Would love to come back sometime if the prices reflected the portion sizes and better service. We are happy to pay premium prices if the food and service align.

A nice little spot with a very chill ambience. The space inside is well spaced out and they do have quite a bit of Patio seating as well (uncovered). The place seemed under staffed as we did have to wait quite a bit before somebody attended to us and took us to our seats. They have a variety of frozen margaritas here. We tried the Mexican Mule (would definitely recommend) and the Mango margaritas. The drinks were really good and it's worth visiting for just the drinks, although it was quite pricey for the quantity. We had the Calamari El Diablo for the appetizers and it was delicious! The hot sauce that comes with it is pretty spicy. We loved it! For mains, we had the Taco platter and the Birria Tacos. Was quite excited to try this place for the Birria Tacos! The platter comes with 2 protein of your choice and we chose the smoked chicken and the grilled shrimps (highly recommended!). The frijoles were tasty and the salsa that came with it were good as well. The Birria Tacos came with Mexican rice. The rice was cold and it wasn't great, would have been better if the dish came without it. The beef shank was pretty good and went well with the birria consome. The birria consome/sauce by itself wasn't very flavourful. It definitely was underwhelming! We tried both the dessert on offer. The Mexican chocolate pudding was nice but our favourite was the Churros with dulce de leche. The churro seemed freshly made and it was great by itself but the dulce de leche definitely elevated it. You should definitely try it! We had to wait quite a bit for ordering the desserts as well as to get the bill even though the place was pretty empty. Overall the place is quite good and it has quite a variety of drinks, appetizers and Tacos to choose from and go back for, although the service leaves much to be desired.

To begin with, the service at this location is extremely terrible. First I thought that they are understaffed/busy which is probably why they are taking so long to attend us at the front door but over the course of our meal, the place got less busier and the service was extremely slow even when there were just a couple tables with customers. The staff seemed to be more busy chit-chatting amongst each other. However, the food, drinks & desserts here were pretty good. Some of my recommendations would be: Calamari El Diablo - this comes with a spicy sauce which is truly spicy; no kidding! We loved it because we love the heat. Mango Margarita & Mexican Mule - fantastic tasting drinks; would love to try others if I revisit. Churros with Dulce De Leche - OMG these were to die for! We also ordered the Birria Tacos and Taco Platter which were decent tasting. The Mexican chocolate pudding was good too but wasn't expecting to be spiced up. Their menu; especially the drinks seem to be expensive. Would recommend the place for the food but definitely keep your expectations for the service to bare minimum to avoid disappointment. There is very limited street parking around the place so expect to go around to find parking.

Pretty expensive for a argula taco and enchiladas . Not your usual mexican restaurant, didnt see any beans or corns or tomatoes . Meat substitute is cauliflower which tasted so lame. Got recommended by a frd but not happy . Burrito boys , mucho burrito or any other are more mexican than this local. Place no doubt looked sick and inviting . Staff was great . But food is no go for us

A cute taco restaurant uptown with a relaxing and chill atmosphere. The service was great, however the food itself was subpar. My friends and I got the original taco platter and found the tortillas to be a bit on the drier side. The topping portions were also a bit on the smaller end for the value. The tacos as a whole were decent but not spectacular. Overall, adequate location to get tacos if in the area.

If you want birria tacos then you should avoid this place. The broth was watery and lacked any flavour and the tacos themselves were bland. The fries were also pretty dry and tasted old. Overall was disappointed considering it was $22 for 3 tacos.

Loved our server and the host as well as the beautiful patio. The food was absolutely phenomenal and there were plenty of vegetarian options. You could definitely tell that the ingredients were all fresh. Felt super jealous of all of the drink orders we saw pass our table, so we will definitely have to come back to try some at some time.
