Delicious, wide variety of tacos, incredible flavor, high-quality ingredients, immaculate presentation. Service was high-quality but a trifle slow. Prices seem a trifle high until you taste how good the tacos are - worth every penny.
My experience here was good. Flavor was good on the tacos, portions I thought was a little small for the price. Cool vibe would recommend
Stopped in to check our Vinyl Taco and glad we did. I tried 3 tacos a Pork belly, a barbacoa and carne asada. I would rank them in that order but they were all very good! As was the black beans side. My wife had the chicken smothered burrito and she was also super please with it. Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. The Bloody Mary's went well food and it seemed to have its own unique flavor. Kind of tasted like salsa I think. We would absolutely go back.
First time coming in and enjoyed all three tacos I ordered. Crispy mango was amazing with chunks of mango. Buffalo chicken was just the right amount of spice. Cilantro lime chicken was a refreshing taste. My wait staff, Jaycee, was friendly and incredibly helpful with offering suggestions.
Today was only the second time I had been to Vinyl Taco, and it was better than the first. I wasn't sure what to order, but the bartender, Megan, was kind and helpful and gave me some suggestions. I ended up ordering a fish taco, the mango chicken taco and a fajita chicken taco. I was most impressed by the fish taco, I myself am not usually a fan, but this one was great. The other two were good, but the clear victor of the three was the fish. If you're looking to spice it up a notch, be sure to ask for the habanero salsa, it's delicious, but be careful, it has a kick. The is a great place to dine, good food and a great drink selection, with Mexican beers on tap on a wide variety of tequilas. A warm and cozy spot with eclectic decor.
I’m really impressed! Downtown Fargo has a lot of upbeat and charismatic eateries, and Vinyl Taco is certainly one that holds down the fort and carries the team! Their food, one word: awesome. It’s Tex Mex, but they do it rightttt baby! The menus are laminated onto records which is so neat, it really sticks with the “vinyl” theme. I had the mango tacos here and those were absolutely my favorite thing! But everything else I’ve tried has been top bar too- the chimichanga is another worth mentioning! Inside, there’s low lighting and loud music, so it could almost be a romantic vibe but just not quite. Decorations are pretty outlandish but like I said before, it all works into the theme. One warning is that Vinyl is superrrr popular. They are a “seat yourself” establishment, so if you get there at peak meal time and have more than 2 people you will most likely end up waiting or have a lot of trouble finding seats. My friend and I came on a weekend night around 8, and it was so packed we just decided to leave and go somewhere else. It really does get that busy. Oh, and it’s 21 and up so another thing to keep in mind. For all your hippie/ grunge/ alternative/ indie foodie needs give Vinyl Taco a listen!!
Excellent food at a good price. Service was great, food was fresh and hot. Nice place to eat. Has a bar type atmosphere. Cold bottle of water and glasses brought to each table. Definitely recommend.
I loved Vinyl Taco. Sometimes, the little things are what sets a restaurant apart. From the moment I sat down and handed a menu that looked like a vinyl record, I knew I would at least enjoy the atmosphere at Vinyl Taco. The decorations in the restaurant establish a cool and relaxed vibe. The food was reasonably priced across the board. I chose to go with a burrito which was extremely filling and delicious.
No shade to Fargo, ND, but what comes to mind is a dreary, cold, dark, kinda boring city thanks to the show that put y’all on the map. But what I found was a vibrant nightlife scene with lots of clubs, bars and restaurants just like Vinyl Taco that had so much flare, spirit and style! I loved the fact that the menus were freaking records! I loved the throwback decor of when diners took over restaurants corners everywhere and the fact that their food was ON POINT! Inexpensive too! 😁 Atmosphere/Appearance: Vibrant, energetic, welcoming and most of all fun! Service: I couldn't remember who took care of me, but I had no complaints. Food: The margaritas were pretty freaking cool because they come in a variety of sizes, but you get one size cup. So you just get big jars of extra that you can continuously pour up all on your own! The flavors were abundant and very tasty. From the chips and salsa to the high-quality gourmet tacos, everything was absolutely on point and I loved it here. Value: It IIISSS Fargo, ND, but it's high quality Mexican fare so... this place definitely won't break the bank at all. In conclusion, if I haven't convinced you to check this place out yet, I don't know what I'm doing writing Yelp reviews. Lol. This was my favorite restaurant I visited while in town.
What a cool place! I loved all the specialty taco s! I need to go back to try more. The atmosphere was quirky and entertaining to look around!! I loved the menu was a vinyl recons. I loved the spicy avocado salsa. IT WAS SO GOOD
