“I gotta go let my dog out” is such a versatile excuse.

You can use it to get out of a bad party ✅ you can use it to get out of a bad date ✅ AND you can use it to treat yourself and your dog to Taco Buddha ✅✅✅

Our patios are dog-friendly and dog-approved as you can see from this lovely class of 🐶 Dogs of the Week 🐶 We have treats and water for them, tacos and margs for you, and good times for everybody.

Get your dog out of the house and bring ‘em on down to taco town 🌮 Open til 9p in Botanical Heights, Kirkwood, and UCity.

We’re bringing back a new and improved version of a sleeper hit from a couple years back for our June Taco of the Month 🌮🌮🌮 Say hello to our taco take on the classic Cuban sandwich, The Little Havana (2.0):

🤎 Slow-roasted mojo pork shoulder
🤍 Swiss cheese
💛 Mustard-ham sauce
💚 Dill pickles
🤍 Flour tortilla

Gluten-free on corn tortillas. Dairy-free without cheese and sauce. Egg-free.

Homminahomminahommina! HavanaHavanaHavana! My-oh-my! Mi-a-mi! It’s back, it’s better than ever, and it’s here through June at all Taco Buddhas.

Alright it’s not exactly groundbreaking to put ground beef in queso, but man it feels like it is when it tastes this good 🤤

We cook ground beef in the same New Mexico red chile sauce from our Taco of the Month, The Truth or Consequences so it gets blanketed in the rich earthy flavors from the chile before tossing it in with our velvety queso blanco 🌶️🫕 The regular queso is pretty close to perfection as is, but this just takes it to another level. Yee to the haw, partner 🤠

There’s only 5 days left to dig in on this dip. Giddyup on over here before it’s gone! Open til 9p tonight in Botanical Heights, Kirkwood, and UCity.

Not only can Kurt whip up a darn good Taco of the Month, the man’s got moves too 🕺 Stick around til the end for a surprise.

There’s one more week left for our Taco of the Month, The Truth or Consequences, before we welcome a new taco next week. Let’s break it down one more time:

🤎 Seasoned ground beef
💚 Romaine
❤️ New Mexico red chile sauce
💚 Hatch green chile sauce (spicy!)
🤍 Monterey Jack cheese
💜 Red onion
🤍 Flour tortilla

Gluten-free on corn tortillas. Dairy-free without cheese. Egg-free.

Let’s make its final Taco Tuesday special tonight, whaddya say? Open til 9p in University City, Kirkwood, and Botanical Heights. See you soon!

We had a great time spending this beautiful day celebrating with the WashU Class of 2026 during their Commencement Day! Thank you @washu for letting us get in on the fun and sling some tacos 🌮

With our UCity location’s close proximity to campus, we get the enormous privilege of not only serving lots WashU students, but working with them too. We’ll miss the Buddha Bears as they move on to the next chapter in their lives, but we’re grateful for the good times you’ve shared with us and we can’t wait to see the big things you’ll accomplish. Congratulations Class of 2026 🎉🎉🎉

Everybody help us wish the happiest of birthdays to Kirkwood’s smiliest manager, Tamara 🥳🎂🎉

Tam has been with us since 2023 and has kept us laughing ever since thanks to her wicked sense of humor and cheery demeanor. If you’ve ever dined at Kirkwood, chances are you’ve heard her laugh echoing through the restaurant. She’s the kind of person that always brightens up the room, and it’s not all because of what she has to say–it’s the way she listens. She always makes the time for others, she leads with empathy, and you just know she genuinely gives a hoot. She’s a damn good friend, and we’re lucky to have her on our team.

Happy birthday, Tam!!

New road who dis? These two pictures were taken

We wouldn’t say we’re particularly jazzed that there’s road construction happening right outside of our UCity location on a Friday afternoon, but that’s life. Nothing a taco and a marg can’t fix 🌮🍹

Don’t be fooled by the roads (or lack of them), we are OPEN in UCity. Parking might be a bit trickier than usual, but totally worth it for taco time. Come see us until 9p tonight!
