Short Version: Good food especially their beef (and reasonable lunch specials), friendly staff and a laid back atmosphere (with a host of Tejano and regional bands several times a month). The building might be a turn off for some, but if you get can past that, it's definitely worth a taste...or two or three. Longer Version: Taste of Texas has... More

Fun atmosphere, good food. It's a big cavernous building, but it works just fine for finger-lickin' good food

I was pretty unimpressed with the food and ambiance at Nick's Taste of Texas. My partner and I ordered a couple of dinner's there and were disappointed with the bbq sauce and dessert. I am from the South and I definitely did NOT find this to be close to anything that tastes like Texas. The meat itself was reasonably good... More

Taste of Texas is by far one of the most delicious Tex-Mex (even if you don't know that Tex-Mex is), I used to work down the street from TofT and I ate there 365 days in a row and never tired of it. I could do it again if I lived in the area easily 10+/5 Star; Thumbs Up; excellent!!
