TL:DR [Time & Date of visit]: Weekday lunch [Party Size]: 2 [Location/Ambiance]: Nestled in the shopping center with other competing restaurants such as Aqua Blue, Foundation. Its easier entering through the light for the Home Depot and Zaxbys, but making the immediate left and going up the hill. Passing by Planet Fitness on your right. Parking is spacious. Inside: The decor reminds me of a kiwi - mix usage of brown and green for majority of the colors. I guess I would say modern would be the styling. For dining in, there are long running booths with two top tables, opposite with a chair as well as 4 top booths. I spotted a outside patio section and some chairs at the bar, but did not really inspect them closer. Ambiance was regular for lunch, not too loud on the music or voice levels of other patrons. I believe the high ceilings help on the latter. [Service]: Full service. Our server was spot on and very accommodating. Since we were the first table to try out the Roswell restaurant week pre fixe menu, the managers stopped by to check on us here and there as this was also our first time. Food came out in a timely manner, even with replacing one of the entrees. [Food Highlights]: For the pre fixe menu choices, theres a good amount of value here. Sadly, I feel that when a place is "fusion" the food quality takes a hit and you cant help but clench your teeth with a "ehhh" kind of response. Drinks: Agave Rita - basic margarita, whether thats good or bad for you. Not much punch on the liquor, but we did request for a bit more agave to mix in to our liking. Dragonberry Mojito - Sorry folks, Im not a fan of mints in my drinks. Sweets yes. All I can say is, my friend enjoyed this... with a dash of agave. Starters: Avocado spring rolls - Its definitely filled with avocados for sure, but theres some flavors missing, like some zest. I think the sweet chili sauce is a better compliment for dipping. Though its not a similar type of cuisine, I think Little Thai in Sandy Springs has a better version. Its not bad here, but could be taken up a notch. Entrees- Tsunami Trio - For the choices available, I picked the Asada Zing taco. Which I would say is quite good, but a little too much shredded lettuce on the ratio. I did like the sauce, a hint of sweetness just to bring out everything. Next; the "BQ" Short rib taco, which was shredded meat in a thick glaze of sweet bbq like sauce. If you dont like your que wet, this might not be for you. But overall, I liked it even if it was more on the sweet end. Last, the side dish, was the cucumber salad. Our server was right on it being light, because flavor wise- I didnt taste anything from the oil it was sitting atop of. Its crisp and refreshing, but not much on taste. The steak bowl - The steak was cooked pretty well and good on how its seasoned. The rice itself seemed to have, what our server and a manager explained, absorb all the salsa and then in turn had a risotto like texture. Kinda of mushy. I think if they poured the salsa in a side ramekin or bowl and then added it as it was brought to the table, maybe that could help it. Unfortunately my friend requested this to be sent back and opted for two asada zing tacos with a side of the southwestern couscous. I feel that side had a bit more flavor than the cucumber salad. Dessert - Empanada Pie - Best explanation would be a deep fried apple pie then dusted with some brown sugar. The filling amount was good. Not too sweet for my taste. With the shell cooked with a light crunchy texture. Pretty good paired with the vanilla ice cream on each bite. [Total Bill w/ Tip & Tax]: $36 plus tax and tip.

***Uber eats only I have never visted restaurant food review only*** This is my new favorite restaurant!!! I have ordered everyday that I work from here on uber eats! Now everyone at our clinic orders from here! Were hooked! EVERYTHING is delicious! The best guacamole Ive had in some time! So well spiced and chunks of avacado! Which makes the Avacado cilantro egg rolls are the best! The edamame are so well spiced and cooked to perfection! The southwest salad (I recommend shrimp and chicken and santa fe dressing) AMAZING! The chicken enchilada bowl is sooo good and the portion sizes are amazing I get to have for later! The Asian nachos! Wontons as chips is genius! It is still so light and delicious! NOTHING HERE IS GREASY! Everything has seasoning! I am sooo picky and do not like anything. I would live here! 10 starts! Please do not ever leave uber eats I do not live in Roswell and this is the only way I get the food here! Give the chefs a raise!!! LOVE

If anyone has had a bad experience at Taqueria, then maybe theyre a crappy customer because Ive never had a bad experience once and I frequent Taqueria. Always my fiancé and Is favorite place to eat. Not only do they perfectly blend Asian and Latin favorites, but the service is always spot on. The drinks are superb and management is always around to check by your table. Taqueria is a diamond in the rough. My favorites are the South of the Border bowls and the Tsunami Trio, where you chose two from of their many delicious taco options and a side. Honestly, you wont get a better deal for this kind of amazing food. My fiancé and I can have a drink, an appetizer, and two Tsunami Trios and spend less than $40, including tip. Great place, amazing food, awesome atmosphere, definitely a restaurant you would be sorry to pass up!

Great patio and prices. Pretty slow and inefficient service. Every time Ive been the service has left a lot to be desired. Service in general doesnt meet the standard bar. Instead of fixing the service, perhaps its best to make it country club style. Order at the bar and pick up your own food to eat on the patio. The business owner can cut some pennies and as a customer I dont have to fret about leaving a tip that mirrors the poor service. I dont want to tip bad but why should I pay for something that I dont get? The bartender has no clue how to make drinks. I understand they might not be able to attract great talent because of low volume. Suggestion, choose to subsidize the bartender at $10 an hour and relieve a lot of servers. Or get rid of your alcohol and offer beer and wine only.

My parents invited me here a few months ago. I can be quite picky with food even now, and even walking in, I was hesitant. I ended up ordering something quite plain but something I knew Id enjoy, a regular cheese quesadilla and cheese tots with jalapenos. My mother got a really interesting salad but with something called fried yucca. This was the start of me finding one of my new favorite places to eat. I ended up trying the yucca, and since then Ive branched out and tried more and more, such as the short rib quesadilla, the Thai Chicken Taco, and a Chicken Enchilada Tsunami Bowl. The sauces the give you are wonderful, the wait time is rather short as well, and the workers are extremely friendly.

About three joints in one and able to fill two demanding teenage boys with fresh, different fare. A pretty rare thing. If you cant find at least two tacos to geek out over here, you are a crazy person. Best of all you can eat as light or as heavy as you want. The side salads are very tasty and go great with one or two tacos. Or go for the carb and protein bomb of the All-American bowl with a side of jalapeno cheese tots, go to straight to good coma. Or somewhere in between. Everything is fresh and popping with flavor. Best of all: A great, thoughtful craft beer selection which really tries to showcase the best local crafts available. Really above and beyond on that point.
