The food is AMAZING!!
Seriously, this is the best tasting food in the Valley!! Their fish specials are as good as any gourmet restaurant in Los Angeles! Try the salmon - or the mac and cheese! They have a bunch of great tacos too! Crispy Shrimp Tacos are to die for!    [05 May 2005 23:08:26]

I'm addicted to Hot's
The food at Hot's is SO GOOD!!! I've been eating at Hot's Tacos about 4 times a week and still not tired of it - actually, I crave it!! The crispy shrimp tacos, chimichurri tacos & mojo chicken tacos are my favorites, as well as the amazing mac & cheese and the salmon is to die for! You gotta try it!    [17 May 2005 16:25:59]

Absolutely Incredible
I found this amazing place while looking on the Internet. We went for lunch and had sushi tacos which were out of this world. Then I took another friend for dinner and had other sushi tacos and a shrimp taco. They were unbelievable!!! Each taco has its own individual sauce that is perfect for that filling. Their side dishes are delicious as well. What a great place.    [29 Jan 2006 23:24:10]

Run, Don't walk to HOTS
I have been going to Hot's since it opened. At one point, I ate there 8 times a week. I have tried practically everything on the extensive menu, and I have yet to find anything that wasn't at least decent. Most of the dishes are spectacular. It is a disservice to call this place a taco joint. It is gourmet food with a down to earth vibe. I love it!    [07 Feb 2007 22:54:32]

Mexican???
If a place has tacos and chips, that makes it Mexican?? You can't categorize this place. The food is so fresh and awesome. You really taste the quality. Yeah, they have tacos . . . from duck to Kobe beef to Korean BBQ to curried chicken tacos.

Aside from the tacos, they have excellent entrees for dinner and weekend specials done up by their culinary trained chefs.    [22 Oct 2007 20:59:36]

Depressing
I love Hot's Tacos; the food is not consistent, but still good. But after a run in with the "owner," I will tell a different story. He was so rude to our group, he lied to our faces, and I ended up being double-charged. They added in an additional 20% tip on our party of five, and than added in additional tip after we closed out our bill. VERY RUDE. BAD SERVICE. DISHONEST. There are tons of great places to eat, service is what will keep people coming back. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK.    [03 Dec 2007 17:57:20]
