Taha is such a fun spot — really cute ambience for a Mexican restaurant just off the Plaza. The espresso martini was exceptional, and the Paloma was great too. We loved the creamy cheese dip, and the chips and salsa trio looked and tasted amazing. We tried the octopus tacos and the three enchiladas (chicken, cheese, and beef), and everything was delicious. The service was delightful — our server was super helpful and made the experience even better. Loved it and would definitely go back.

Probably my favorite upscale Mexican restaurant in the city. I've had both the chicken asada and the octopus and both were great. The trio of dipping sauces they serve with tortilla chips is also a great addition.
Tyler Dillman
We've been here a few times now and have enjoyed a lot! The restaurant has a great cozy atmosphere and the food is always delicious. They have good drink and mocktail options as well so any group should find something they'll enjoy. We like their charro beans a lot and they usually offer three different salsas to have with chips at the beginning of the meal.
Christian Wagner
Been several times for lunch and dinner. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are consistently outstanding.
Logan Hembrough
The food was so good and so fresh. Good craft drinks. I ordered the chicken chimichanga and husband got enchiladas. Both were 10/10! Chips and salsa… yes please! Can't wait to go back!
Stefanie
Was a great spot for a late valentine's day dinner. Food was off the chart. Spicy Carrot Margarita was great. Fun atmosphere and staff was fantastic.
Michael Peerson
Service was outstanding! We had a group of 12 for a birthday and they cut the cake we brought in and even brought out a candle. Ceviche was delicious. Everyone raved about the margaritas.
Haley Smith

Deshawn Rooney
