    We heard great things about Benny’s tacos and we wanted to give it a shot. My partner and I travel the world to try tacos, and boy were we floored. We ordered just a snack because we were on our way to grab food at another spot. So, we ordered 4 fish tacos and the barbacoa. The wait was a little long. But we were patient. The staff were super nice and working hard. Everyone on deck had a job to do to keep the business running smoothly. My boyfriend almost always gives any barbacoa taco a 7/10 rating. However, he said this barbacoa taco was the best he ever had. 10/10 hands down. The flavour the sauce the meat, everything was on point and he can’t wait to go back. I loved the fish tacos! They were jam packed with crunchy fish, a mountain of toppings. It’s not a taco that you want to look cute eating on a first date. This is a taco that you devour and not care what’s all over your face because it’s exploding with flavour and you’re lovin’ it. I gave 1 less star on the atmosphere only because it was pretty chilly outside and we wished the heaters were on to enjoy our tacos a little longer. (I’ll be back to take better photos of the the tacos I promise) Update: came back for another round, and they were just as good as the first time :)

    Small space and limited seating. The Cali burrito was delicious and packed with protein (I got shrimp). Takeout orders seem to be faster than dine-in ones.

    Visiting from out of town and walked by Benny’s. I was sold on the fresh tortillas. I walked in and asked the most popular burrito. They chose the most expensive. A clear sign of no real customer service. Long wait and when it was done they put it in the pick up cart instead of asking me if it was mine. I got to my hotel and opened it up. It was completely falling apart and the meat was al pastor instead of carnitas. Lastly, it did not taste good at all. Totally disappointing.

    Been here many times and enjoy their food but last 3 times food has been subpar. There is always some ingredient missing, how do you forget red sauce on the enchiladas. The most disappointing is when the chicken fajitas is not grilled but definitely sauteed in a pan. Also asked for the light to be turned on in the patio and was told it's on a timer. Had to eat dinner in total darkness. Very wierd.

    Don’t usually write reviews, but this is the second time Bennys has messed up my orders. First time, I gave them a multiple calls to ask them to remake or for a refund, but they were busy so I left a voicemail asking for them to call back or make a note on my account - never got a response. This time I ordered a Tostada bowl with Al pastor and extra grilled chicken, no sour cream. They made it with sour cream so I took it back and they remade it - however, the one they remade was at least 40% smaller than the one they originally gave me, so I dug through it a bit and saw that they didn’t give me extra meat, they just gave a bit of both. I took it back again and mentioned this, to which they said that they did add extra meat. They literally made it right the first time (other than adding sour cream) but I can only assume they were angry I took it back because it clearly did not have extra meat and was smaller overall. Disappointing that they’d rather lie to my face than correct their mistakes. If you order from here triple check everything they make because there’s a good chance something will be wrong, but be warned they won’t like you for it. - Jeremy
