🌮 Fresh. Hand Crafted. Tacos. 🌮

Some places open a bag.

We start with a tortilla on the line and build from there.

Every taco at The Great Debate is made to order using fresh ingredients, quality proteins, and flavors that actually taste like someone cared enough to make them right.

No fryer.
No processed food.
No shortcuts.

Just steak hitting the flat top, shrimp getting seasoned, fresh toppings getting chopped, and tacos being built one at a time.

Whether you're a traditional steak-and-cilantro person or you're chasing something a little different, our tacos are made the same way every time:

Fresh. Hand crafted. Made for conversation.

Join us for THACO THURSDAY:

🌮 $5 Tacos
🍹 $5 Margaritas from 2–6 PM
