What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 18 reviews more than any other: front-of-house. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.6 stars. What it costs is the next most common subject, in 22% of reviews (averaging 4.0).

17 of 18 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 1 are two or lower. What nobody raises here is whether food comes out hot — it goes unmentioned across all 18 reviews. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 15 of 18.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (98/100), 2 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from March 6, 2026. That puts it ahead of 81% of graded kitchens in Indian River County.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    I have lived in Vero Beach for the past two years and went to Taco Dive for the first time. I wish i wouldve known about this place sooner. I ordered the drunken burrito and it was delicious. Our server Michelle greeted us and really took our dining experience to another level. Not only was she attentive to our needs, she was also very funny. She made us feel like regulars and we will definitely be back soon to see her. Five Stars for sure!

    Love their food. Shrimp tacos and steak are my favorite 😋

    Had a great time here. The staff is super friendly (THANK YOU MICHELLE) and the food is fantastic. The drunken burrito and tacos are soooo good! Oh, don’t forget the white queso dip! Totally worth it. We’ll be coming back for sure.

    My second time eating at Taco Dive, once in Fort Pierce and once in Vero Beach. Both within a 2 day period. A little pricey for tacos, but they are not your ordinary tacos.

    We had such an amazing experience at Taco Dive! Adam was our server and he was absolutely fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. Everything he suggested was delicious! My favorite was the Cajun shrimp taco… it was to die for! My husband and I truly enjoyed our visit and the customer service made it even better. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Adam!

    A different spin on tacos. The Irish taco is great.

  • May 8, 2026

    Skip it! Overpriced, salty food. Cramped seating and less than professional service. Unpleasant experience.

    My husband loves the fish tacos.

    Had the best server in my entire life, by farrrr!!! Haley absolutely blew us out of the water, the food was good and the atmosphere was good. But the service is why I'll be back, and only if I see Haley. Kudos, and you have out appreciations!

    Great service and really good food! My daughter requests this place every time! Get the Trio!

    The wait staff are friendly. It's a bit more pricy than some of the other Mexican restaurants in town, but their bowls are a decent size and high quality. Overall, worth it. The space is small, but I didn't feel like I was bumping elbows with anyone at least. It was loud, but I think that's on purpose. There's a large bell that people ring on their way out the door
