I've been meaning to try House Taco ever since it was in the Statehouse but never got the chance. Boy was this worth the wait. My new favorite.
Service was personable and friendly. Food came out fast and margaritas were outstanding.
It's not your standard Mexican place and the menu has some interesting options. Everything was amazing, fresh and delicious. They are currently only open till 9 and hopefully when they get more staff that will change. The house made chips are fire. I do wish they had a guacamole option. Something like a jalapeño guacamole would be amazing. I've already been twice in 1 week for their wonderful happy hour.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Diana S.Westerville, OH01May 4, 2024
I was sooo ready to love this place. Found them on IG and if you go off of their social media the place is amazing. But IG isn't real life. Especially in this case. We got there just before 3pm and it wasn't busy at all. The first thing we found a little off putting was the tiny, little stand holding menus, glasses, silverware and napkins. Having a self service station like that is fine but it's barely big enough and just felt like an after thought. The woman who greeted us seemed confused and as time went on we realized it wasn't just her. With the exception of the owner, everyone seemed like it was their first day. We were told we couldn't order drinks because the bartender wasn't there yet. The Mexican street corn nachos came out with no corn on them. The loaded Mac n cheese bowl was so runny it truly looked like water had been added. I genuinely thought that maybe it was supposed to be a soup and I had somehow missed that in the description. We each took 2 bites and were done with it. The other issue was salt. The Mac n cheese, the nachos and the tacos...everything tasted the same and the taste was SALT. And lots of it!
This place just doesn't have it. The vibe isn't there either. It didn't help that the owner was sitting at a table, loudly telling an employee about proper procedure. Nothing about this place is terrible but it could be so much better. As it is now it definitely wasn't worth the 30 minute drive.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 1, 20241 check-in
This is tiny little establishment in downtown Columbus. We walked in and were unsure what to do. It is a seat yourself. We took seats at the end of the bar and then they had us move because that is where servers pick up drink orders. I recommend to take those chairs away if it is seat yourself and supposed to remain open for servers.
We got seated further down the bar. It took awhile for someone to come to us. Then we had to ask for menus from another patron that had some near us. We finally got our orders in and then it took awhile for the food to come out.
After a bit one of the bar tenders came out and told us they had an almost entirely new staff and apologized for the delays. The staff was friendlier after they explained and made us more understanding of their situation. They had recently posted a video to social media and their business blew up. That is how we ended up there was because of the post. Good for them, but can definitely understand the chaos of having a new staff and then an influx of patrons.
The food was good. It was tasty, but like many other places around town the tacos were served lukewarm at best. I prefer the meat on tacos to be hot or warm at least. I am not a fan of cold taco meat.
By the time we left the kitchen was smokey and it was flowing out into the restaurant being a small space. Our eyes were burning and we smelled like tacos. It made going to watch a musical hard with burning eyes afterwards.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 4, 2024
Upon entry the restaurant was pretty quiet and was not busy. We were greeted as we walked in and sat at a table near the window. It's a cute lowkey place.
My friend and i decided to try out the dirty horchata drinks which tasted amazinggggg. I have been looking for a horchata based cocktail in the cbus area and i really recommend this one!
As per food, we decided on the trio dip app. My taco choices were the charred chicken taco and the Cajun fish taco. The chip trio dip was disappointing to be quite honest. The chips were extremely stale, even though the dips were great i might opt into a diff app in the future. The fish taco and the chicken taco though were so good. I am not really a fish person but this fish taco changed my mind it was that good!! The chicken taco had this amazing crema sauce that left me in awe.
So so yummy overall & our serve was v attentive. Great place to check out for taco night !Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Filiberto F.Lancaster, OH1112May 14, 2024

I'm so glad we stopped in!
This is a huge step above Condado which is just a few blocks away. Not only is a taco a pretty big portion here, the flavors are great! From the sauces and salsas to the seasoning on my proteins, I got 1 whitefish taco and 1 chicken taco, they nailed it. What's even better than the tacos- those donuts. Oh my god. The picture doesn't do justice- the donuts come out hot, they're fluffy on the inside and the jelly is next level.
The prices are low and the service was great, super friendly and attentive! I'm really excited to have this place in the area and I hope they succeed. I recommend people come try this place out and support, it was nearly empty on a Friday night here. You're missing out!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - April R.Logan, OH2386Apr 19, 2024
First time here! I had the mac and cheese appetizer and the chicken magic taco; all of it was delicious. I was very impressed with the quality and portion size of food. Now on to drinks; I tried 3 different of their crafted tequila drinks, nothing short of absolutely amazing and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of tequila but I could've easily drink several more (I had to drive) . Service was great, polite and attentive wait staff and the restaurant itself was small but spacious at the same time. We enjoyed our experience and will make a trip back to try more food and drink.
