    I have never been to a place you could eat dinner and feed raccoons as well. It was amazing. They are so cute and their hands make me giggle. I love them. Reminds me of home.

    If you're going to read any reviews, please read mine. This place was a dream come true for me. I am OBSESSED with animals and my husband and I are avid Mexican food lovers. The tacos were some of the best we've ever had, made fresh to order. We tried one of all their tacos and would recommend doing the same. We waited about 3 hours for the racoons because we didn't know they only really come out after it's dark but it was absolutely worth the wait. The racoons are a bit skiddish, but are super gentle, friendly, their paws are so soft, and they were a highlight of my life to interact with. This was a 10/10 experience

    We had supper today at this place..food was okay however we did not like the experience of having the raccoons trying to take our food. We visited thinking they were going to be around the place but not over our food. We definitely will not return.

    You're mainly going to interact with the raccoons there. Don't expect anything more. But the animals do make an appearance when they want to. You won't always see them but when they're there expect them to take your food order extra.

    Awesome taqueria! Tacos were really tasty and cheap! Racoons were really cute and funny. If you dont want them bothering you dont feed them cause if you start they will stay and more will come.

    I'm sure some ppl might not like this but I thought it was so much fun. We didn't really care about the food. The servers made sure they weren't misbehaving too badly and we had many giggles.

    Raccoons and Authentic Tacos 🌮 absolutely FANTASTIC! The Tacos y Service was very good.... But the Raccoons all 12 of them were funny, cute, and very entertaining... My wife got bit, but I told her not to get them too excited. But, still we had so much fun. I totally recommend this place!

    Great place to take the kids to interact with raccoons, the restaurant will provide free dough to feed the raccoons. I gave it four stars because the food is not super.... Not bad but not super to earn 5 starts.

    Friendly raccoons, terrible/ mean workers. They tell you" be careful the raccoons will steal your food" which they did so went to reorder and they yelled at us. So instead of ordering more food, we closed our bill and left. Raccoons are cute but remember they are still raccoons and not tamed .

    Always a great place to take people who are out of town because they love the racoons....even though they steal your food!

    The rating is only for the raccoons as we haven't actually ate the food there, but the raccoons seem to like it

    Food was amazing. Service was great. We were there in the evening so the little guys were there trying to steal food... but we were fast and they didn't get any of ours. People next to us weren't so lucky lol.

    The raccons were funny and cute at first.. but the tacos were terrible and once you're served food they harass you relentlessly and its actually very annoying 😳

  • 1/5 Strathcona D. 2 months ago on Google • 43 reviews New
    This place sucks - the raccoons climb up and steal food off your plate/try to climb you, and if they do steal food from you, you’re still expected to pay for it?! I can understand if you’re like trying to feed them and things happen, but we were sitting at the bar and trying to just eat. Plus the tacos aren’t very good. Asada was fatty and chewy, Chorizo was bland, they don’t have Pastor… the raccoons are cute enough at first, but the only way to get them to leave you alone is give them a smack or have the boss lady whack her stick on the ground. Raccoons in the back room, raccoons in the kitchen, I honestly don’t know why I ate here at all. Don’t go unless you just want to pay to feed raccoons.

    Went to see the cute racoons and maybe give them a taco but they were nowhere to be seen empty. I had to keep getting up to ask for more water and toppings. Tortillas were good though

    Fun experience and excellent food!

  • 1/5 Lynda W. 3 years ago on Google
    They are very very slow. A young girl takes your order. The food when you get it is not good, other than the tortillas. By Mexican standards it is a tad pricey. The raccoons are the attraction. I suggest drinks only here.

  • 5/5 Ed V. 10 months ago on Google
    If you're here for the racoons it's a good spot to hit up. Be patient and they will come. They smell the food and will even come up to you. The tacos and quesadillas are actually good too but the service is not the best so don't get your hopes up.

  • 5/5 Eduardo R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is so awesome. If you love raccoons this place is a must, you just gotta be careful because they will steal your tacos.

  • 4/5 Arturo A. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is so fun, you get to see a gang of raccons interact with them, but be careful because they love tacos and they are willing to still yours, just off the table.

  • 5/5 debbiy r. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Johnie C. 1 year ago on Google
