I gave this piece of crap place another chance tonight and WOW did they disappoint! I brought my whole family here and they did not even flinch at the bait and switch rip off. They advertised "half priced margaritas" (see photo), but the bill showed up with full priced drinks. After calling out the accident after we paid the bill, they claimed that we should have known better (somehow). Basically they squirted some pepper juice into a margarita and claimed that exempted the drink from the advertised price. They screwed me once on the same scam several months ago, and I totally agree that it is my fault for being such a dumbass to give them another chance, but I figured that maybe it was just a bitchy waitress last time. This time is a criminal act and they added $60 to our tab on a LIE. I am fed up with this FALSE ADVERTISING and ripping off of tourists at Mockingbird Station. The shopping center is friendly and attracts good people. This scam restaurant is going to ruin the reputation that all of the good places have worked so hard to build. STAY FAR AWAY.

Keep in mind Im not an avid blogger about food but figured I would add my opinion. At first I was rather bothered that its 3.50 for chips and Salsa. The flip side is you do get to choose 3 different salsas and all of them we chose were better then average. The food was actually better then I expected. As for the service. Ill say this, our waiter brought our food out in a decent time. It was really the curtiousy checks that bothered me. As a long time service industry guy I tend to be more judgemental about service. Personally I would of given this place 4 stars if the service wasnt so distant. If the owner reads this my advice as a GM to you would be press a little harder on your servers to check more frequently with customers and be more personal and friendly.

My gf and I dropped by here when we couldnt get in at another restaurant up Greenville, and we had a great time. We were immediately greeted and seated, and service was highly attentive. Our waitperson pointed out the 2-for-1 drink special for house margaritas, which we ordered along with yucca fries. The drinks were great, though the fries were a touch tough. The variety of tacos was awesome, and the options to order select-your-own combos or ordering a la cart were appreciated. Ended up spending about $40, but I could easily have eaten very cheaply here. The tacos were yummy, particularly the ahi tuna. I intend to eat here again next time Im at Mockingbird Station.

I had never heard of or seen Urban Taco before coming in the other day with family for a light lunch. We went in and sat down, immediately got waters, and then were forgotten about. We picked what we wanted to order, stacked our menu up, and then continued to be stared at by the three employees who where just sitting around watching the customers from the bar area. Only one of the servers seemed to be actually working, and he had completely forgotten about us. We simply got up and left after we gave them plenty of time and no one came to take our order. Although I didnt try the food, it was so pricey that I would not return, even if the service was better.

Went in yesterday with a co-worker sat down for about 20 minutes before someone finally came out of the back and noticed us, even tho the restaurants about the size of a living room. I got a couple of mixed drinks was told we had to wait a little cause the bartender was out back smoking but he would get us water while we waited. The owners decided hold there manager meeting in the table right behind us and these metro sexual wet backs were so loud about a soccer game it just became annoying but we stuck it out food was okay no big complaints on that just service and management need to step it up!!

My daughter and two friends ate shrimp tacos their last night and all are sick!! I had to take my daughter to the Emergency Room early AM as she could not stop vomiting not to mention the abdominal pain and nausea all associated with food contamination. She is severely dehydrated so they had to give her fluids etc. Just got back home. Long NIGHT!! They did all the labs and it came back positive for food contamination. When I receive the invoice from the hospital, I will present it to URBAN TACO for payment. Our family will never eat their again.

Food would be 3 stars, service is 4 stars, and seating is 3 stars. So 3 stars overall. From the outside, decor is modern and jazzy. Seating next to the wall is uncomfortable because the back of your seat is...a wall ledge. They added cushions to help pad this ledge but the cushions are too small and move around. I had the seafood ceviche. Portion size was generous with a lot of avocado. However, it was overly salty. The chips that came with was similarly salty. The bright point was the waiters were very nice and helpful.

Its a bit pricey but it is really tasty. My wife and I have been twice and each time we enjoyed getting to try several different types of dips and then a selection of tacos. Not to mention the drinks! The patio is really nice as well and we enjoyed it when we set outside. The second time we sat inside and it was not quite as nice. The music is really loud so its probably not a good place if youre planning on lots of talking. Overall though it is really good, and better than some similar places like Taco Diner.

If there was a zero star I would give it a zero star I would give it a zero star I asked for the opposite of what they gave me I asked for 2 ground beef tocos with tomatos on it and crispy shell they gave me 2 steak tacos with lettuce and cheese on it and a soft taco! Never will go here again! It took about 45 minutes to get 3 peoples food! Dont come here! The steak taste like charcoal from the grill taste nothing like steak! Ill say it one more time dont go here! And I will never go here again!

Everytime I enter Urban Taco I feel as if I am entering my home to eat, the staff is so welcoming I get that warm heart feeling you get when you come home from a long day and eat delicious mexican food your mom made, but on a whole another level when it comes to the taste ( dont tell my mom I said this ) its even better then her cooking. Urban Taco is my favorite Mexican Restaurant. Best service ever. They never disappoint.

I always heard of great Texas food. This was ahhhmmazing. The mix of flavors were perfectly matched. I got 3 tacos for $14 with 2 sides. The shrimp was the best I ever had. The spiced chips with salsa and avocados mixes were unique. The churros with ice cream were good but cheap on the ice cream serving. The frozen margarita was perfect and too strong for a second one.

Whenever I go to my doctor in Dallas, I stop and treat myself to a meal here. The food is good and of a consistent quality. I like the Tortas here. Make sure you try the Salsa Trio. You get some of their delicious seasoned chips and a choice of three different salsas. They have some great and unique ones. By the way, you can hit 3 pokestops from Urban Taco.
