What diners say — our read

Recent diners are rating this place better than the back catalogue suggests. Reviews mentioning service average 2.9 stars, so it divides opinion rather than settling it.

The split is 14 positive to 6 negative across 22 rated reviews, with 2 in the middle. Coverage here reaches back to Dec 2025 and forward to Jun 2026. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (10 reviews).

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (94/100), 6 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. DBPR last walked in on January 9, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 56% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include cross-contamination and floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Wanted to get away from the chain store tacos, so decided to stop in. Definitely worth it! Street side parking was perfect to get in and out. Food was excellent and some of the best. From the greeting to the food; time here was perfect.

    Only having 1 employee for the lunch rush can cause the employee to be overwhelmed and unnecessary delays for your customers. The young lady working today 6/9/2026 did exceptionally well.

    One of my favorites spots to eat after a Kia Center event. The portions are huge and the food is very good. Great burritos. Its right next to planet pizza and im not above combining a meal from both places

  • May 2, 2026

    I’m gonna be honest with yall this place has a nice atmosphere downtown , close to the Kia center and cathedral . The staff is friendly enough. The big question the food is it good? Well it’s white girl good. You know the Starbucks sugar monsters with shot pallets. the food is bland but looks so cute Babe take me too this instagrammable spot whatever Yeah if you’re used to delicious food this isn’t really much better than del taco Really a lot of salt too yeah white girl good

    They didn't have enough ingredients to make the vegetarian tacos, so only one of us ate. Food was good. Bathroom clean.

    I blame management. Took a long time to be served but the girl was only one cooking serving and taking orders. She handled it beautifully but at 6pm to be by herself was poor management. Food was great

    This is a gem. We're from Texas and was looking for something to eat. We wanted to try something that we didn't have at home and decided on Tin and Taco. What a great choice. The service was great. Jairo didn't mind going over the menu choices and helping us to decide. He was very patient. 4 women can be a handful. Anyway, Jordan was pleasant and didn't mind accommodating one of the ladies with switching her order. She was indecisive on what she wanted to try. This is a must try as we all ordered something different, they were all tasty with the Chicken Bacon Ranch and the Brisket taco being favorable. We'll be visiting here again.

    Wow!!!

  • April 7, 2026

    Okay first off… they are using chili meat from a can for there tacos smh not a good taste and secondly it’s just altogether not good, the bacon Mac taco was just not good and the dorito flake taco was all lettuce. I’m only being honest. The staff was very nice tho! Sigh.

  • April 5, 2026

    I ordered 40 minutes ago and am still waiting for my food. People have been waiting over an hour. All while they wont let people use the bathroom.

  • April 3, 2026

    Different tacos but very good

  • March 12, 2026

    This place is amazing !!! The tacos were excellent - fresh and delicious.

  • March 11, 2026

    Update: I gave this place 5 starts 6 months ago however I have to update my review. The last 2x I ordered my taco is missing the green onions the young lady that is always at the counter has no personality to speak of no hello when you greet her just a serious I hate my job face. I order from here at least 4x a month and I just keep getting more and more disappointed with the service I receive and preparation of my order. If they go back to how ut use to be I will update my review again.

    The food is good and most of the staff is nice.

  • February 22, 2026

    Definitely not the place i remember from a couple years ago... host or whatever he was is rude!! Talks way to much instead of just making the 10 or so orders he had in hand.. after waiting close to 40 minutes my son finds a hair in one of his tacos..eyelash i should say..music is a bit to loud seems like if the employees would work instead of hanging on poles dancing service would be faster! Then we ask for a refund and no one has a clue! I usually don't leave bad reviews mostly just let it slide and not visit again..but this guy is just bad for this place!!

  • February 21, 2026

    Tony and Shae were amazing. Top of the line service. The food is obviously a plus!

  • February 21, 2026

    Service was great, vibe was great, worst tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Not sorry

  • January 26, 2026

    Delicious BBQ. Unique parmesan crusted tortilla with the protein of your choice. The young lady does it all. She takes your order, carefully prepares your food and you're all set for a great meal.

  • January 17, 2026

    We ordered, paid 20% tip, ate, needed to use the restroom and the employee already locked the door and said we couldn't use it. There were 10 other people still in the place. We got into a shouting match about it. She accused me of attacking her because she was a woman. I told her that if the restaurant is open, the bathrooms need to be open. I told her I am reporting her to the health dept. Tin, your food is good. But if this is how you treat paying customers, make your choice. DBPR and health dept getting a call on Tuesday. This happened around 1am Friday Jan 17.

  • January 13, 2026

    The food didn't taste good. Too expensive for what you get. The environment is not pleasant for sober eyes.

  • January 5, 2026

    A good bite to a decent taco is the WOW. And if you come here and try their tacos, you will know why I drive here to get the Ts. Good fresh and cost right. Place to try.

  • December 31, 2025

    This place has the best tacos ever. First time ever being here and it was awesome. I recommend this place to everybody. It did suck that we had to pay 10$ for parking just to eat here but the food was worth it.
