Taco Buddha - University City

Friendly and attentive staff. Had Baja, Nashville and Tao tacos. First two amazing, third not amazing but ok-fell apart and had to eat with a fork. Biggest issue was web-site to place order. Navigation is honestly pretty bad with popular 4-5 tacos as default view, Rest of their tacos are buried pretty deep but I finally found them. Menu is not extensive enough for this-why not keep simple and put all 8 or so tacos together in a tacos category! Other issue is we tried to order two Baja tacos. From the selected screen the only option suggesting quantity is a series of choices #1 basket , #2 basket , etc. I chose #2 basket thinking that meant two Baja tacos...incorrect! Only got one Baja taco. Found out it 's all about organizing tacos on plates. I guess for repeating customers all this becomes routine, but the user interface of this site is not welcoming at all to new customers.

I rated them 4 stars when they first opened because it was clear they were on the right track, though still working out some kinks. I didn't return until after the pandemic, and I'm happy to say they've really improved. They now have more seating, a larger menu (the quesadilla is a must-try), and a more streamlined ordering system. The tacos are still generous in size and quite tasty, although I'm not a fan of the BBQ style; however, the rest of the menu is still fantastic. I find myself visiting about once a week now. Hope to see you there!

I had an excellent experience at Buddha Taco. The food was scrumptious, and the service was attentive. Our waiter offered fantastic recommendations, and our dishes were served promptly. We were very pleased with our dining experience and would definitely recommend it to others.

These are the best gourmet tacos I've ever had! The service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is fantastic.

The one in Kirkwood was phenomenal. The staff had lots of different jobs and were very effective. One girl came over to explain how to order, another brought us water, another the food. It was a nice experience. The food was very good too. Not like regular tacos, they feel a bit more decadent.
