Jerk Chicken Taco, Steakhouse Taco, Pork al Pastor Taco, Po Boy Taco
Otniel F.

The service in this place is 10/10, the lady recommended the best tacos for me and my date, also the guava jarritos that's rare to find. The tacos were great, and the ambiance is perfect for a date. The steak tacos and the shrimp po boy tacos are a must try. The Al pastor is good as well. Tacos are portioned perfectly.

Al Pastor
Michael E.

I recently visited A Taco Affair in Little Falls and was quite impressed. Thirteen years of living in southern California has made me a bit of a taco snob, so when I saw the menu, I had some doubts. Tacos in L.A. are generally not fancy. Well, they can be, but for the most part they are street food made by people that have been making it for generations. The best ones are simple, but huge in flavor. Usually, they consist of freshly made corn tortillas, your meat of choice, a bit of onions, tomato and cilantro. Add a bit of hot sauce and that's it. The tacos at A Taco Affair are not that. What you get are tacos with a modern take on traditional flavors and some rather unexpected ingredients. For the most part I liked it. At $5.75 for a single taco, my first reaction was that it was too expensive, but I was wrong. The tacos are big and piled high with ingredients. On this visit I just ordered one, and I was satisfied. Two would make for a filling lunch. On Taco Tuesdays they offer 3 for $15, which is a good deal for tacos like these. The taco I ordered was their take on an Al Pastor taco, my favorite meat for a taco. It included marinated pork, pico de gallo, queso fresco, green cabbage and pineapple habanero aioli. It was honestly hard to tell how the al pastor itself compared with the traditional version I'm used to because the other ingredients were piled quite generously on top, but when combined it really made for a delicious bite. The flavors all came together well, and I enjoyed it. I did find it a bit hard to eat. As I mentioned, the ingredients are piled high. I think I will try a different taco on my next trip though. The restaurant is a nice place for a quick meal, but since all the tables are the high bar-style kind with high stools I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time sitting there. For the food they're serving though, it's fine. The employees were friendly, attentive and welcoming. Overall, I'm on the fence regarding these tacos. The flavor was good, but part of me feels that for something based on simple street food these are a bit over-engineered. I will definitely go back and try another taco and some of their other offerings. I recommend you give A Taco Affair a try and see what you think.

Pork al Pastor Taco- marinated pork,green cabbage,pico de gallo, queso fresco,pineapple habanero aioli

Tacos are delicious! The warm taco tortilla is corn which makes is amazing for someone that is gluten free! Music ambiance is great! Place was busy and customer service was excellent!

I love tacos so was looking forward to trying this spot. I called in my order of the shrimp po boy and the crab fritter tacos. It came to about $12.75. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and gave the lady my name. They gave me my food and I paid and left. When I got home I ate and the crab fritter taco was not a fav. I didn't care for the taste but the shrimp po boy taco with the sauce was very good. I will definitely return to try other tacos.

Quinoa and Bean Fritter Taco
Reema M.

Found this restaurant at Wayne for lunch. It's an open concept restaurant where the tables are far away from each other. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. I saw I need to vegetarian options on the menu, when I inquired about any additional items Brad was nice enough to suggest that I could customize a taco on my own. I asked for his recommendation and he made the most amazing to who I have had in a very long time. I'll call dad or taco affair vegetarian special, they could totally put it up on their menu. Overall food was fresh and delicious. Ordered items: 1. Taco affair vegetarian special - 5/5 2. Bánh mì taco - 3/5 - a bit sweet for our liking 3. Bean fritter taco - 4/5 4. Green rice - 5/5 5. Truffled Yuca fries - 5/5 The staff was professional and friendly and meal was delicious, would recommend this place to anyone looking for a taco experience in the area.

Chorizo hash and Spicy Korean Tacos
Joseph S.

What the inside lacks in dacore is more than made up by the inventive, delicious food they make. I make it a point to follow Taco Affair on Instagram because of their ever changing special tacos, sides, and hot sauces! I've seen some of the most inventive combinations here over the few months I've been going (pork belly tacos, pork shnitzel tacos, meat ball tacos) and they're all amazing! The chorizo hash is deliciously savory and zesty and the spicy Korea is very good but very liquidy Oddly enough this place has my absolute favorite fried chicken. Their country fried chicken taco in a lettuce wrap is to die for! With crispy chicken, zesty and savory jalapeno creme sauce and thick cut bacon, you can't go wrong! I definitely recommend trying the Mexican street corn and churros (with run chata dipping sauce of course!) for those who have never been! In addition, it is a little know fact that this place is BYOB.

Chorizo Hash and Beef Brisket tacos
Brendalynne F.

My boyfriend and I tried 6 out of the 13 taco options, all on corn tortillas: Pork Al Pastor, Chorizo Hash, Po Boy, Smoked Brisket, Sesame Tuna, and Korean BBQ Pork. We also got the Churro Ice Cream Bowl for dessert. The Smoked Brisket and Korean BBQ tacos and the Churro ice cream bowl were delicious. Everything else, nothing to write home about. The Pork Al Pastor was extremely greasy and the others either had seasonings/sauces that didn't blend well together or they were too overloaded to get all the ingredients in a single bite. I was especially disappointed with the Sesame Tuna taco (Rare Ahi Tuna, Napa Cabbage, Scallion, Pickled Mango, Smoked Hoisin) - an extra 50 cents for rare ahi tuna that didn't taste all that fresh. Among the 3 I had on my plate at the time, I made sure to bite into that one first to taste the freshness of it before it got warm from everything else. I'm also not so attracted to the price of $4.75 for a single taco lol. But to end this review on a good note, I liked the atmosphere and the fact that there were big paper towel rolls at the tables.

Double Rainbow!

If you are expecting TacoBell style tacos, head back to middle school kid. Street tacos? Nope strike two! What we have here is something unique. I think open faced burrito would be the best description. This joint has highly engineered flavor profile forward deliciousness wrapped in a corn tortilla delivery system. Yea that was a word salad, but the best way I can describe what I just ate. Each "taco" is very well thought out. I ate 3: the fried chicken, the el pastor, and the Korean BBQ. I can bore you with a play by play of how each taco had a balance of crispy, sour and sweet without being greasy.. but you really should just get your yelping ass over to this taco affair and try it for yourself.

Jerk Chicken Taco
Latrice S.

What a delicious one of a kind taco restaurant! Their unique tacos were so flavorful and did not disappoint! However the best thing was there homemade churro's and dulce ice cream!!!

I don't think I have ever used the phrase " train wreck" in a review before. This place is a train wreck. It's the terrible disaster movie you can't keep your eyes off of. I honestly don't even know where to begin on this overpriced, overhyped restaurant. Ever see the Costner movie "Water world"? An extremely hyped movie that went on to be one of the largest busts in cinematic history. That type of hype. The tacos were tasteless and bland. All those toppings and my taste buds were begging for something, anything. This place needs new cooks, someone who knows you need just a little salt. I got the dry, tasteless brisket tacos, the overcooked rubber shrimp po' boy and the burnt to a crisp crab fritters. The wife got the fried chicken, which like my crab were so over cooked and burnt. If it was fried, it was a greasy sloppy mess. The rest don't even matter because they weren't even notable enough to remember. The churros- decent but again overcooked. I ate 2 and the wife could barely eat one. "Overcooked grease logs" is how she described them. The saving Grace, the Mexican street corn but then again, it's impossible to mess that up. Their heart is in the right place, it just doesn't belong in the kitchen. Skip this one.

Fried avocado
Ambika S.

I don't like giving negative review but this was by far the worst experience I had, I ordered fried avocados, which seemed to be fried again for reheating and was filled with oil, it was inedible, even after trying to soak up excess oil in napkins. I love tacos and i have never seen one normal taco, for 6$, taco was just okayish and in po boy taco shrimps were again filled with oil and rubbery in texture, had no flavor of shrimp whatsoever. Churros were also disappointing, had big lump of uncooked dough in center overall super high priced taco for a below average experience. I was surprised since I checked reviews before ordering, not sure how they have high ratings

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!! This place was a great find. My coworker and I were on the hunt for really good tacos and this place came up on this radar. When you walk in, you are greated by an amazing staff. Everyone was so helpful and didnt mind answering questions. (And I had alot) what i really enjoyed was how innovative and unorthodox the menu was. The tacos are too die for. My favorite today was 100% the Korean BBQ pork. This is a taco with kimchi and a ginger sesame aioli. Who even thinks of this and then makes it into a taco. Not I, but i am glad that they because I could have licked the plate. I think i might have licked it when no one was looking. Lol (Dont judge me. The churro with that Rum chata cream cheese will do something warm to your heart. It is the perfect balance to round out your taco meal. This is a quick fix if you have a sweet tooth. They a made fresh to order.

Half the menu

Came here last night with my buddy. He offered to pay so I didn't go crazy. I only ordered 4 tacos. There was the bbq brisket, tofu bahn mi, Al pastor and jerk chicken. Everything was tasty and fresh. My friend got the Butter milk chicken and something else. The tacos were loaded but still kinda pricey for me. $4/taco. I'd definitely would come back. Need to sell plasma ;)

Any thing for gluten free?

You can get the tacos wrapped in lettuce instead of taco shell

Is A Taco Affair wheelchair accessible?

There isn't a ramp to enter the restaurant, but there aren't stairs either, so it might be a little difficult to enter depending on the type of wheelchair and the mobility of the person. However, the restaurant has an open concept and the tables are…

Parking: Plenty of parking available…read more Service: There was about a 20 minute wait when we went at 6:30pm on a Saturday. My husband put our name in for a party of four and gave his phone number for the text notification but the hostess accidentally entered us as a party of two. Thankfully, the table that was ready was large enough for four but it could have caused an issue. As a note, she remembered and realized she mistyped it and apologized immediately. Our waiter was friendly, though the service had a few hiccups. My chicken quesadilla (which I ordered as my entrée) came out well before everyone else's meals. When boxing leftovers, he asked whether I wanted the sides, sour cream, and salsa included. I said no, but when I opened the container the next day, everything had been packed together anyway. Food: The chicken quesadilla was delicious and generously filled with shredded chicken. Drinks: The frozen strawberry margarita was excellent. It was filled to the brim and stronger than what you typically get at a restaurant. Overall, I'm chalking the service issues up to it being a busy Saturday night. We'd still happily return to Jose Tejas whenever we're in the area.

Went there for a late lunch as it has been three years since our last visit and truthfully will…read morebe our last. When we say the table even though was wiped down was sticky and damp. The food is the reason I'm writing this review. Ordered the Cajun popcorn shrimp for appetizer and it was beyond salty. The sauce helped but the salt was the extent of the taste. My wife had the fish fajitas and I had the pulled chicken tacos for lunch with fries. The fries were over fried like chips but the pulled chicken tacos was downright not right there was a chicken pot outlets chicken with a taste to the chicken. I had one bite put it down and pushed the plate away. I was done. My wife ate some of her fajita with her comment being that it's was really spicy. I asked for the check. The waiter asked us for boxes. Seeing that we didn't eat the food we said we weren't taking anything. I told him to have someone check the chicken as it's not right and he said he would let them know. He came back with the check I paid the full check and again mentioned to the waiter that someone should really look into the chicken as someone will get sick and we left. My wife was upset as she was upset I paid the sill receipt but my point is the following. Reputable locations who take their businesses serious pay attention and monitor their patrons. Ultimately without them they don't have a business. Your representative taking care of us saw we barely touched the food if at all. This is not normal at an eating establishment and your only concern was that we didn't want to take the food home. Following my warning on the food there was no concern just collect your check and rip. Enjoy the hundred bucks we will never be back. Left a star as I couldn't post with none.
