The owner was very nice and pleasant as she took my order. The best feature was the food was all natural. No mixes out a box, nothing frozen or out of a can. The beef was moist and tender and the soft taco had chunks of chicken pieces. The food tasted great. The menus on the wall behind cash register listed complete dinners and meals. If you're hungry, this is definitely a good place to go, and it was reasonably priced.

Ok.. hurts to write this but it needs to be said…read more Been going here since first week open. The tacos were delicious, well seasoned, and the salsas were amazing. But....now it seems that the spice level only serves a specific crowd. Even the guacamole the last time we ordered it was an 8 on a scale of 1-10 for how spicy it was. I think it's great that establishments can get creative with certain dishes to appease all dietary needs, and even fuse two cultures. However, you're still a "Mexican" taco joint. All three of your salsas and now the guac are WAAYYYY too spicy. You can have spicy but for some people who really enjoy the wood fired flavor of the meat, it's DROWNED OUT WITH HEAT. Also, i have ordered tacos several times through the online method and chose NO SAUCE.. tacos still came with sauce (8/10 spice scale of course) and ruined the tacos Please pay attention to the modifications.. if it's too much, a: don't offer them, or b: make sure your employees know how to read the modifications Probably won't go back until they either open a spot for their newly intended audience or revert to a taco spot again.

Soon thereafter, they announce that your food is ready. My wife loved the guacamole and chips and chicken birria and smashed burger tacos. I had an amazing El Pastor bowl.

Had a tasty Jamaica drink with it. Really glad we tried Taco Empreso!

The prices are so reasonable. 14 dollars for a huge plate of enchiladas with a generous portion of avocados and pickled onions on top. We got the enchiladas con mole and enchiladas con salsa verde. I'm not usually a huge mole fan, but it's absolutely delicious. And the salsa verde was nice and spicy. Will definitely order again!

I grabbed an empanada de lechesilla, a large fried empanada covered in granulated sugar filled with cream for ($2). Very tasty. I stopped in later on for a quesadilla with huitlacoche (corn smut), which was also very good. The patrons around me were all having the mole de puerco special, while watching a Mexican gladiator game show. Also on the menu, a variety of tamales Oaxaqueno style, in a banana leaf with a variety of fillings: mole, chileajo de puerco, dulce, etc.

I experienced two firsts here: a to-go menu only in Spanish and a Mexican restaurant that doesn't…read morehave tacos on the menu! Remarkable. With what I would describe as "tasting platters" and multi-dish specialties on the menu, at higher prices, I think what we have here is chef looking to do something a bit more complex than the competition. And as might be obvious, knowing some Spanish would be a big help here. The place: 5 tables, very small but pleasant enough. Service was more attentive than usual. Rather than plain white plastic dishes, the food comes in nice ceramic bowls and plates. The food: They did serve me tacos the first time I came ($3 each) but I don't think it's fair to judge them on tacos when they aren't on the menu. I still don't know what to make of that fact given tacos are authentic and other taco-like appetizers such as nachos, tostadas and empanadas are on the menu, but my best guess is that they want to distinguish themselves and put the emphasis on their other dishes. The torta cubana was huge, and good, but at $9 when you can get it for $6 commonly, I would skip -- not because it isn't good, I just don't think the place's strengths are in tacos and tortas. I think I got it right on the 3rd try with the chicken mole, which was very good. I'm not expert enough in Mexican food to know whether something special is going on here. What I do know is in a restaurant setting like so many others in New Brunswick, a little something different is going on here that might be worth a try.

This drink is made with corn meal which gives it some grit and thickness. Really hit the spot after walking outside on such a cold day. The tortilla chips came as a starter, were made fresh, and tasted great with the homemade salsa. I ordered two dishes that were recommended which I've never had before. Sopes al pastor and chorizo Picaditas. The tortillas on both were freshly fried and firm such that it held together the toppings, but also soft and crumbly enough on the inside making it pleasant to eat . My favorite were the sopes with all the traditional fresh ingredients that goes with al pastor.
