We love The Taco Station! It is our favorite restaurant in Pompano Beach. The food is absolutely fresh and delicious. My favorite is the salmon salad. My hubby loves the tacos. I do too! They have the best servers. Bryan, Silvio, and Francesca are top notch and always have a smile and seem truly happy to see you. We were in town vacationing for 11 days and went here about 7 times; it is that good! We can’t wait to come back in February!

We came with a group of 20 and the staff was super patient and fast—our food came out with barely any wait! Everything was delicious, and there was plenty of outdoor seating to eat comfortably. We came all the way from Florida looking for good Mexican food, and we definitely found it here. Thank you!

The atmosphere is really cool like a gas station think it was one at one point but not 100%. But food was pretty good I had the carne asada burrito and a taco cause I’m a fatty! but meat was really good.

I have been going for a while and over all my experience has been good. The food does not disappoint. (not saying it's out of this world but i know that I won't have to worry when ordering if it will be good or bad) The employees are awesome people and they are quite funny. They have this guy who plays that saxophone at times which gives the place a calming vibe.
