This time we ordered a carnita street taco and the vegetarian mushroom taco, both on corn tortillas. Very tasty pork with white onions and cilantro. The mushroom version was also delicious but it needed a sauce and their hot sauce made it perfect. Great drinks as well!

A spontaneous visit to Left Coast Taco turned out to be just our luck! It was super crowded this New Year's Eve afternoon, but that only added to the experience. The hard working bar attendant was also taking food orders so that created a wait for this in-demand small business. The outdoor area had a few folks enjoying their lunch on the unusually warm-ish day. We ordered one roasted mushroom, pablanos and onion taco; one fish Baja taco; and one packed bowl. The bowl was ordered with rice, seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, pico and crema. The bartender created a lovely fresh margarita that really hit the spot, even if it was different than our usual southwest (Texas and Colorado) ones (this was heavy on the triple sec). We snagged a table inside; I can sense a larger site may be in the future for this well run hot spot. Every bar stool was filled with the most happy people. Must be happy hour? The place was loud and humming with activity. The fish taco was cod, broiled, and next time will try it ala Buffalo, Pacifico beer battered. The mushroom taco was our least favorite and the loaded bowl was super high up there and will definitely return for more! We liked the eat in/takeaway containers being cardboardy (environmentally friendly?) even though they got flimsy on the ride home. They transferred to a real glass container just fine. We will be back!

Cute cozy little place to eat tacos, have a few drinks and hang out. During winter months indoor seating is limited but it wasn't crowded on a Friday night. The servers were super friendly. The birria tacos were pretty good, but the queso was a bit chunky (from when the top layer hardens)

We ordered lunch to go for 5 people and we all had something different. Every meal was amazing!! We got carne asada tacos, carne asada bowl, chicken bowl, an al pastor bowl, and California burrito. They loaded us up with pickled carrots and onions, hot sauce, green sauces (not sure what was in the two different kinds) and another red sauce. EVERYONE was SUPER happy with their meals. We will be back again soon. This place is awesome!!!

My wife and I love this place! We happened upon this restaurant by chance and we're so happy to find it. We ordered the steak nachos and one street taco with mushrooms. Everything tasted fresh and the service was great! The overall cost of the meal was reasonable. We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for great tacos! We will definitely return.

I stopped in with some friends on a Friday night, it was my first time here and I'd heard good things. It's a fast casual spot so you have to order and then grab a table and wait for your food to be called. Left coast taco is a cool spot but it's on the smaller side so it can be a little chaotic if it's busy. There are some tables, but not a ton, so you might not be able to sit if it's busy. It is definitely designed for smaller groups, like 5 or less, or great for if you are grabbing a drink. There is one larger table at the entrance and we were lucky to get a hold of it when we arrived. It was very busy so trying to hold the table and order food was a little all over the place. Once food was ready they called your name but you could barely hear or understand it. It sounded like the Charlie Brown speaker. They need to get some better announcement system or give people buzzers so people can get their order more efficiently. While we waited we enjoyed a tasty round of margaritas. I ordered the birria tacos. Good sized portion, decent flavor but the meat was a little more tough than I prefer. It didn't shred as well as it should because it could have been stewed longer. But overall not bad. We ordered another round of margaritas. This is where things got weird. My drink tasted like the first one but was about 3/4 full. My friends got drinks about 1/2 full and were glasses of triple sec. I'd maybe give this place another try, not on a weekend, and hope for more consistency and a seamless visit.

These might be my favorite tacos as of late. With the sunshine and the warm weather for those couple of days, I had to take advantage for some patio dining. And what goes better than sunshine and tacos? Not much. (Well, maybe a nice drink with it too?) I ordered and had my food so quick. The service here is so great and they seem like really great people running the show. I got the carne asada and the chicken tacos with all the fixings, chips and queso, and since it was noon, I went with a nice pineapple soda to wash it all down. The tacos were phenomenal. They had a great taste with so many different flavors all working together. Honestly, they really might be my new favorite spot for tacos. I had to stop myself from ordering more so I wasn't too full to drive home. The chips had a nice crunch and weren't overly salted or bland. They had good flavor and then the queso brought it home. SO GOOD. Overall, this is a great little place to check out if you love tacos. There's a small parking lot and street parking so you'll be able to find spot. Do yourself a favor and head here a day for lunch. You definitely won't regret it!

Fun business name, very interesting vibe - inside, outside, even in the all-gender restroom. The goal was to grab some quick grub ahead of a holiday concert and lemme tell ya, mission accomplished. I thought I ordered 3 Baja tacos - beer battered cod and 2 fried shrimp - but when my ordered arrived, I only had 2. My kid was thrilled with the order of nachos - though it was heavily modified to be chips, cheese & chicken. All in all, the staff was friendly, the food was good, and it was a good thing we arrived when we did. The restaurant was hoppin' the entire time we were there. I'd love to come back in the summer and enjoy an adult beverage with birria or some of the other taco options...

Two minor gripes about this place: My burrito was ever so slightly soggy when I ate it. Still tasted incredible. And there is VERY limited seated. Especially if you're looking to feast inside. Everything else was fabulous: Nachos were deceivingly spicy. Ow Ow! I had the greatest Mexican cerveza on draft that I've ever had. You can tell the taps are clean and the beer is cold. Yet another gem in East Aurora.
