Tacos for Two is a sweet romance (kissing only) with a unique and fun storyline centered around online dating and food trucks. Rory and Jude have great chemistry and I loved the different stages of relationship development throughout the book. I also really loved that there was a good plot and strong side characters in addition to the romance storyline. I couldn’t wait for the moment when everything came to light and thought that turnover and “oh it’s YOU” moment was done really well. I found this to be a really fun and enchanting read, and highly recommend for rom com lovers!

Cute romance. I was sometimes bored with it, however, since it’s quite long and I got super frustrated with the characters at times (especially Rory). The You’ve Got Mail references totally make up for it though ;). 3.5 stars.

This was such a cute book!
Who doesn't love a good enemies to lovers romance?! This one was done perfectly, and never felt forced. The pace and fun of Rory and Jude's online relationship was impeccable. I loved getting lost in their message exchanges and watching their love bloom. They are both great characters, but SPEAKING OF CHARACTERS, the support cast was just so so darn likable too! Because of the plethora of great characters, I was invested from the beginning, Even through all of the hiccups, miscommunications, and drama... I never felt too exasperated to keep rooting for the happy ending (which is often what turns me off of cutesy romance books). A unique set of circumstances combined with age old troupes that we all love; Consider it a modern You've Got Mail. The only complaint I have it that I was constantly hungry. I don't need any extra excuses to want to eat tacos!

What happens when the person you are talking to on the anonymous dating app turns out to be your biggest frenemy and competition in a local food truck competition? That is just what happens in this delightful romance Tacos for Two. Does it seem perhaps a bit cheesy and predictable? Sure. Does it sound like the perfect plot for a Hallmark movie? Absolutely. Still, I love cheesy, I love Hallmark movies and I love tacos... so needless to say, I found this book to be super entertaining and fun! It was a uniquely done take on enemies to love, and of course the whole food truck concept made it even more fun... although I must say I certainly did find myself craving some tacos as I read. The characters were imperfect and as such a bit frustrating in their reactions at time, but I enjoyed their banter throughout the story and enjoyed seeing their romance grown. Overall, I found this to be a super cute romance and one that fans of clean romantic comedies are sure to enjoy!

Honestly, I had such high hopes. This plot sounded cute and was setup to be a perfect enemies to lovers story. The romance, unfortunately, took the back burner. Rory’s character was beyond frustrating. I wish the book was written differently.

This book has me LIVID. This is why own voices books are so important. When a white author writes a book about a rich little white boy, who is so self-centered he doesn’t even recognize his own privilege, and makes him out to be not only sympathetic but a victim??? He literally steals the recipe of an authentic Mexican food truck, then opens his own Mexican food truck in competition with them and does not see a single problem with it and doesn’t understand why she’s upset. Then the author makes it out like he is the victim because he had problems too and maybe they should have welcomed him to steal their business and their culture with open arms because he had a Mexican nanny who also cooked tacos. NOPE. F*ck this book and f*ck this author. She needs a reality check and a whole team of sensitivity readers.

A mix between You’ve Got Mail and Pride and Prejudice, with some food trucks thrown into the mix.
Loved it, only I hate miscommunication so that was my only downside.
References that were funny and poignant, relationships that were layered and complex, resolutions that felt more realistic than Insta-love and a backbone of cooking and family.
So much fun to read.

The chapters had problems that could so easily be solved, and not in the fun romance novel way. Also this book was cringe at times and so clearly written by a white woman. I usually love corny romance novels but this was not very good. I still finished it and it wasn’t horribly written, but it was a mediocre overly self aware You’ve Got Mail knock off
