  We ordered the steak tacos and  they were among the best steak tacos we have ever had. The chips and guacamole too! We were able to get a table and really enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend!

  Just wanted to write an update; this place is generally great but I'm going to start off with a negative. The very nice lady who works at the counter pushed the "elote in a cup," and I tried it against my better judgment. It was truly nasty and bore no resemblance to any elote I've ever had. It tasted like flavorless corn floating in mayo with some totally off spices. They should just stick with a standard elote recipe if they're going to sell it.
  
  Trendy Taco is a great place for a taqueria fix. I appreciate that they have horchata; it's very good. I've tried all the taco options, and they're all very good.  Shrimp is probably my favorite, with a sauce I've never seen.  Chorizo tacos were good and flavorful, and they appear to take the time to squeeze most of the grease out so you don't feel so bad eating them.  Chips available upon request. They could do better on their salsas, but they're not bad.
  
  Trendy Taco is not nearly as good as Taco Nano, the North Shore gold standard, but much more convenient for us.  We've been back several times and will continue to go.

  Decent little taco joint in the northshore. Typically get the same thing each time we go because it's literally good each and every time! I stick to the carne asada taco & the shrimp taco plus we split chips and guacamole EVERY time (it my husbands favorite!). What's great is the tacos are filled with just the right amount to where they aren't falling apart and super messy. You'll easily get full off 2 tacos & guac. Also had their homemade fresh limeade which was so good we wish we had another when we got home! The only downsides are that it's cash only (we forgot tonight but thankfully there's a Chase ATM near by) & they don't offer free refills...so because the Limeade was so good we had to pay twice (yes we got a refill). So if you're looking for a decent taco joint check them out.

  I came here with my husband for a quick dinner on a Saturday night and it looked like they were pretty busy but mostly with take out orders. The guy taking the order was nice and friendly so that was nice. We ordered some pastor, some shrimp, some steak and some chicken tacos. The pastor with their yummy sauce was my favorite so definitely get that one. I didn't love the shrimp one as the flavor wasn't for me. My hubby said the chicken and steak ones were tasty but not as good as the pastor tacos.
  
  The wait for the tacos was okay but a little longer than normal for a quick taco joint, I'm guessing because they were trying to fulfill those to go orders. No complimentary chips and salsa while you wait which is something I've seen at other places.
  
  Overall it's a tasty place, not sure how it's really trendy but it looks nicer than a hole in the wall joint. Glad I tried it but not sure if I'll go out of my way to come back!

  Ordered 4 burritos from here the other day. 3 out of the 4 were incorrect. One didn't have the avocado I wanted, one had sour cream (didn't want), and one had beans (didn't want). Sad :(
