I have been going here for years and the food and service have always been top notch. However, a visit this past Saturday was surprising when I was served an order of yellow tail and mackerel sashimi. I’m including a photo of the dish that was presented but should have never left the kitchen. I thought it was raw chicken and cat food. Our waitress was lovely, it was not her fault but we did learn that the regular sushi chef was on medical leave and whomever was covering had no idea what they were doing. I’ll be back again for sure but am gonna to wait a few months.

TakoSushi offers a unique mix of Asian and Southwestern cuisine, and they do a great job! Plus there’s options for your whole party when you can’t choose between tacos or sushi. The Crazy Roll was fresh and flavorful, while the Chicken Pimento Cheese Taco had the perfect sweet and savory combination. The Three Amigos is an excellent appetizer with tasty salsa, queso, and guacamole that’s sure to please the whole table. Our server Kristen was fantastic and the place has cool ambiance for quick lunch or nice date with comfortable outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

Today my family and I wanted to try something new and we found this cute little place. The inside was clean and neat and when we walked in we were greeted with the friendliest smile from the hostess she was very nice and had great customer service. I didn't quite get her name but I think it was Ary. She wore a skirt and pigtails with bows 10/10 hostess. The inside looked clean and the whole staff were so welcoming. The food was amazing!!!!! I ordered a Greenville roll it was a 10/10 full compliments to the chef. I almost licked my plate clean lol. Overall this place not only has great customer service but good food and an amazing atmosphere. I 100% recommend going.

The pros: the server was very nice, food came out promptly The cons: they offer a gluten free menu but their staff isn’t well educated so be careful! They told me all sushi rolls were GF. I asked if the ones that have tempura in them are GF: no. I asked if the teriyaki sauce used in some is GF: no. I specifically asked the server to make down that I have a gluten allergy for the chef (I end up in the ER vomiting for hours if there is an accident). She said she would but low and behold, a roll with crab used imitation. I asked them to check and see if it had any wheat in it and it did. The chef had to look at the package so I guess he didn’t know either 🤷‍♀️ Surely, that would have been a catastrophe. We would have normally spoken up to management because it’s a big deal but the server did feel bad and was very sweet and attentive otherwise. A suggestion for the establishment would be to get management involved with any allergies or they’re going to end up on the ugly side of someone getting very sick (or don’t offer a gluten free menu!). I don’t think we will be back because the food was … just okay and not worth the song and dance of trying to make sure something is gluten free.

Went with a group of four and had the best time! Music was great, it felt amazing inside (when compared to outside humidity), and had wonderful service from Lexi. Definitely planning to make this a regular spot with my coworkers! Only downside was no steak and I was looking forward to the steak taco. Manager came by to explain the situation and provided excellent alternative options. The Blackened Fish Taco was great so thank you for the recommendation!!! All in all, five stars! Will definitely be back to hopefully get my steak tacos!
