We loved our experience! Food, service and ambience were all great. Laura was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive! Food and drinks were delicious, highly recommend the Mini Poke Tacos, Pacific Rim taco and the Guava Cooler cocktail.

Food, service, and drinks were amazing! Whenever we drive through Georgia we always and I say always make it a point to stop at one of Taqueria Tsunami's locations. A restaurant that brings a blend between cilantro and soy sauce that I didn't know I needed.

Had a great experience at Taquiera Tsunami! The tacos were amazing. We also got the Calamari which was had this amazing dipping sauce! I think I have it in the pics but one friend got a Tuna bowl and said he liked it a lot as well. Our waitress was supper friendly and attentive. It was her 21st birthday so we wished her a Happy Birthday. Atmosphere is very open and clean. I will be back for sure!

We visited at lunchtime on a Friday and we were able to be seated immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. Thanks to the place not being very busy, we got excellent service from multiple staff members and could not have been happier about it. We loved the attractive and comfortable dining room and the clean, well-maintained restrooms. The menu had a lot of tasty-looking choices available and we chose the All American Bowl and a taco trio with two tacos and a salad. The bowl was good and I'd be willing to order it again, but I wasn't so impressed that I'd call it "great." It wasn't as flavorful/spicy as I may have anticipated. My wife's tacos included a chicken option that tasted excellent, but she wasn't impressed with the texture of the chicken. (That may be a personal preference issue.) The fish taco she tried was too spicy for her, but I thought it was quite good. The chips and queso appetizer was about the best we have ever had. Really. We are looking forward to returning and further exploring the menu.

This place is amazing very clean, outdoor seating. Service was amazing and friendly and she brought our food in a timely manner. I highly recommend this place the food was fresh. We had the BBQ empanadas, fried Yuca, 2 shrimp tacos,1 zing taco and 2 beers everything came to be about 40 very reasonable prices.

I was visiting Gainesville from Houston, Texas, and this was my first visit to Taqueria Tsunami. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I will say that while waiting for a table, a fellow patron advised that I order the pear sangria, and I am happy that I didn't listen to her suggestion. Instead, I ordered the sangria flight, and I enjoyed the watermelon rose sangria the most. The pear was my least favorite. I ordered the beef nachos and enjoyed them. I will say that the nachos were lacking a sauce or something, so I drizzled the chipotle ranch over them. This helped the dish a lot. Now I don't have the menu memorized, and my visit was 2 days ago so the items may not be specific proper name on the menu, but you get the gist. Worth the visit, no complaints.

This place hits a home run every time. I’ve visited probably 30 times and have never been disappointed. Appetizers are solid...especially the avocado egg rolls and the Korean fried cauliflower. Tacos are unbelievable..my favorites are the gringo tacos and the short rib. All American bowl is good if you want steak. You can’t beat the short rib quesadillas either. On top of all that, they have tater tot’s and queso as a side! You kidding me!?!
