Just had a delicious lunch at Taco Monster on Saturday and was impressed once again! Excellent taco flavour combinations, and I love that they carry locally crafted beverages (the Saskatoon soda was lovely!). Friendly staff at the counter as well. Also, I’ve approached Jonathan, the owner before for support of a non-profit theatre company and he’s always been super generous! So head out to the indoor market and choose Taco Monster next time you’re in Gasoline Alley!

I know a little about fish tacos, and I can say these were really good! The salsa verde was super flavourful and I loved the addition of the sprouts. Also had the Korean taco that was also really good!

Definitely nothing to write home about. Limited selection poor portion size and costlyAttendants seem uninterested and hurriedDining area is a cafeteria/ mall food court setting

If you’re looking for quality tacos and a great experience- look no further!Taco monster is a local gem that serves to please every time. While some taco places might be cheaper, you definitely get what you pay for, and at Taco Monster you get high quality food and high quality service. Places like Taco Time cannot offer that whatsoever. Taco Monster is a go-to for me; and I specifically love the Black Bean and Crispy Chicken tacos. Give it a try next time you’re in Gasoline Alley!

I always love my tacos from taco monster. Especially the tots. Their prices are fair for the quality and the quantity that you receive.

I came back from a recent trip to Mazatlan and was still craving the food I enjoyed so much on my trip. I saw the Taco Monster food truck at Capstone last summer and made a beeline for it. I had a few spicy drunken chicken tacos and absolutely loved them. I make a point of checking out the food trucks when I'm anywhere to see if Taco Monster is there just to have them again. I would definitely recommend there food to anyone!

These tacos are a nice treat. Delicious, well made, friendly staff, locally owned and operated.If you are looking for these tacos, the only place to find them is in Red Deer. This isn’t a chain, with a massive food processing kitchen offering $1.29 tacos in every location across the continent… this is high quality food made with high quality ingredients, and a high quality taco connoisseur, right in front of you!

About a month ago my husband and I checked out Taco Monster in the gasoline alley market, we were given a few gift cards and thought we would check it out and we found a hidden gem, we have been in every Thursday for their taco Thursday deal and now we look forward to it as a mini date night for us.I can't decide which is my favorite i really like the beefy cheese crunch and the chicken taco, my husband loves the Korean pork and he doesn't like pork at home. Haha also best part is my husband and I don't remember the last time we both ate under 30 bucks combined. It's a great deal!!Anyhow secret hidden gem with this place, we will like be in every Thursday until the taco Thursday deal ends.

Very lively atmosphere, quick service, I tried the cheeseburger tacos and they were delicious. Get a few though, they’re mini-sized tacos. 10/10 would recommend.

Checked out Taco Monster, in the Market and grabbed a combo with three tacos, tots, and a drink. The Korean pork taco was my favorite, so much flavor! The cheeseburger taco was really good too. Everything tasted fresh, and the tots were crispy, seasoned just right, and a huge hit with my kid.The staff were super friendly, and the Taco Monster mascot was a big hit with my toddler. Great spot with good food and a dope vibe!

I love the Taco Monster on Gasoline Alley. They have such a fun take on tacos. I haven’t had one that I didn’t like. It can be a little expensive for me but that’s because I’m cheap.

Today my family and I tried Taco Monster and had a great experience. Thanks to a buy one, get one free deal on Uber Eats, I got a fantastic deal on multiple types of tacos. When I arrived to pick up my order, they were just finishing up, so it was fresh and hot.The tacos were smaller than I expected but absolutely delicious and well put together. A nice touch was the two little monster stickers they included for my kids, and a coupon for a free taco at the bottom of the packaging. The staff were very nice and pleasant, and the market location added to the overall experience.I’d definitely go again if I can get the buy one, get one free deal.

As always, Taco Monster delivers. Had the Cheese Burger taco, no sour cream, no pickles. Delicious 😋Was a nice day to visit the Market.

Extremely friendly service! Greatly appreciated that the cashier double-checked the ingredients for a dairy allergy. Tots and tacos were delicious. Definitely recommend the Korean pork tacos!

The flavours are absolutely amazing and unreal!! The tacos are small which means they are easy to eat without making a big mess, and you can taste all the flavours in one bite. Prices are comparable to taco time (and much cheaper than other taco trucks I’ve seen) but it tastes way better and much better quality ingredients. I really like that you can order tacos individually and try multiple flavours. My favourites are Korean pork and sweet potato.Nice small snack size for the ice cream cone with nice coffee flavour.Delicious sodas from local brewery.
