| - This place has had signs up for a week or two but I stumbled in here on a whim today because I saw the parking lot finally had cars in it. Boy am I glad I did. I was walked in and was greeted by what I would later learn was Nick the GM. He asked if I had a ticket as today is apparently the private "soft opening." I, looking clueless, said no, and just as I was about to thank him and leave, another customer in line said they had an extra ticket. Surprised, I thanked her (I believe her name was Nikki) and proceeded to the back of the massive line.
Inching closer to the counter I spoke again with Nick and he explained that the mission of Tacos 4 Life is to feed starving children by donating $0.22 of every menu item purchased to sending meals to those who need it. Today being the special event all items were only $0.22. Essentially their "soft open" is 100% for donating towards feeding hungry children. It's a great cause the staff really seems to support wholeheartedly.
The food. Just isn't a Yelp review without something delicious. I got the Paradise Punch to drink and it was really good. Non-alcoholic fruit punch they make fresh in house, kept in big fresh lemonade style containers at the register. The chips and salsa were a good start. Not my favorite tortillas when compared to similarly styled restaraunts but the salsa was on point. Flavorful and just enough spice. Chicken quesadilla was good as well. Flavorful, not lacking in the meat department, nice and cheesy.
The tacos are, as the name might suggest, are the star of the show. Maybe there are other restaraunts that serve this kind of taco but I've never been to one. They use special "fluffy" tortillas. Oh geez, I don't even know how to describe these things. It's like a flour tortilla and a roll of puff pastry had a baby and it came out radiating a glowing gold aura. The chicken taco was excellent. Well seasoned, tender not chewy, full of flavor. The beef taco, however, was OUTSTANDING. It has just claimed the prize of my number one taco of all time from Sabor Latin Grill. Perfectly seasoned beef combined with the magic fluffy tortillas and the cheddar Jack cheese into a pocket of happiness. They have cookies for a dessert treat as well, and while the chocolate chip is good, the snickerdoodle is where it's at. Gives the ones my wife makes a run for their money.
It was a wonderful dining experience. Even with the long lines the employees were on point, no one waiting more than a couple of minutes for their food. I absolutely recommend this establishment. If your anywhere near Concord Mills Mall you must stop by and grab a taco!
