The food and service were phenomenal and we will be back! My son and I made a last minute decision to try Swanky’s for the first time in between band and basketball practice. The owner/manager and staff very helpful and kind, especially Jaun. They recommended the crawfish tacos and quesadillas, so we tried it, and we are so glad that we did. One word, DELICIOUS!

Thoroughly enjoyed my early dinner here. The staff were all so accommodating and kind, especially Mattie! (Sp?) My meal (tacos al carbon) was served quickly and it exceeded expectations. The drink (jalapeno margarita) was delicious and they made sure I had everything I needed. The patio and restrooms were very clean. As pleasant an experience as you can ask for!

Went super late before closing, sat at the bar because the whole restaurant was empty. We were taken very good care of by Johnny the bartender, great food, good drinks, best tunes. Johnny kept us entertained with good conversation until our food arrived which is one of the best quesadillas I’ve had in Memphis, the taquitos are also pretty good with their ranch.

Carrefour at Kirby is still thriving despite the economy and Swanky's taco shop is still some of the best authentic Taco restaurants in Memphis. I came in today and got the egg rolls for a change. They tortillas are always fried lightly and so crispy, you can count on the ingredients being fresh. The salsa and spicy ranch are so good you can dip anything in them but go perfect with the egg rolls. They might be an appetizer but it's plenty to fill you up.

Great food, excellent service. Tried three meat Tacos built my way, with a bit of everything and medium spicy sauce. The nachos were really good but the egg rolls were the best. Highly recommend if you like Tacos.

Great place to eat and play trivia every Wednesday night. Deconstructed burrito bowls are excellent. White cheese dip is well above the norm Fresh tortilla chips in plentiful amount. We miss the Germantown location but glad to be back here every week.

This place is similar to Chipotle but quality is prob better. (I'm not a fan of Chipotle). I got the veggie bowl. The refried beans have no lard. They also have black beans though. The sauteed veggies are great (zucchini, peppers,etc). I liked the green sauce (medium) and the spicy red sauce. The queso is Banging! Great tasting Guac. Food looked clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall highly recommend specially for vegetarians. You can do burrito, bowls, tacos, nachos. So many options.
