The food was great, serving sizes plentiful-- literally just gave to add spice to your preference which they provide. The cups themselves and the drinks were super cute and get you there. Our waitress was most helpful and very nice! Plus the birthday accommodations were sooo fun and festive! Definitely created a core memory for my son who celebrated his 8th birthday there. read more

I came here for a late night get together. It was a group of four of us and we were seated immediately. The server was nice and explained everything. You can scan a QR code on the table and order and start a tab via an app. Some of the people in the group weren't comfortable downloading it so the server opened the tab for us and we ordered directly through him. Some of margarita bucket options on the menu weren't available, which was disappointing because there was a particular flavor I wanted to try. I ended up getting a regular classic margarita. It was tasty and strong which was perfect. The birria grilled cheese was amazing. I see why it is known as the House of Birria. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. I would love to come back for food and drinks in the future. read more

I went to Fat Taco Hoboken today at 1pm for Saturday Brunch. The environment was very nice, dimly lit and peaceful. I ordered two drinks that were on special which were a mimosa bucket and Tequila Sunrise. The drinks were good. As for the food, I ordered a Birria Grill cheese and home fries which were decent. My date ordered the Birria Tacos and Mexican Street Corn which she did not enjoy. But overall, the prices were not expensive at all but the waiters do not take orders. You start a tab and close the tab on your phone which is new to me because it makes the waiters obsolete in my opinion. read more

My marg bucket was perfect. Worth the 25$ it's basically like 2.5ish drinks. The street corn was the star of the show. So good. I lived street corn so much. I liked to do it with the tortilla chip and some guac. So good. The restaurant had a dj playing so it it was alittle loud but overall the server was good and the food was good. read more

I have also been to Fat Taco in Hoboken. I like the Mexican food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff can be friendly and attentive, and they make the experience enjoyable.

How lucky am I that my Tattoo Artist is down the street from this Awesome Hoboken Gem. Anytime we are in town ( from NY ) we try to stop in. This place is soooo good. Food is absolutely Delicious, the decor is hip with a mix of traditional Mexican influence NYC disco type vibes ( if that makes sense ) with a DJ as all. Our server Ben was fantastic last time we stopped in for lunch..wonderful suggestions and couldn't be more professional, polite, and helpful..and the Sangria he suggested was perfect! Definitely stop in if you find yourself in this beautiful riverfront city and Enjoy! read more

I came to Fat Taco with friends for a Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint! I started with a drink that was delicious and perfectly balanced--refreshing without being too sweet. I ordered the chicken and shrimp tacos and they were so good, I had to go back for a second round. The flavors were on point and everything came out fresh. The vibe was amazing--great music that had us dancing in our seats and just enjoying ourselves. If you're looking for good food, good drinks, and even better energy, I definitely recommend stopping by Fat Taco for brunch! The staff were also so sweet and attentive despite the day being busy! read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon for a birthday brunch and it seemed like everyone came for a birthday. The moment you walk through the door, this place is packed and jumping. The DJ's music hits you hard and is loud but a great rnb, throwback set. Very cramped but lively atmosphere - definitely not a place for intimate convo but for sure a really fun time with good food and dancing! ORDERED Yabba Dabba Pancakes Birria Empanada and Quesadilla Breakfast Tacos French Toast Philly Grilled Cheese Birria Grilled Cheese Honestly, all the food (especially the Birria) was so delicious. Shout out especially to the French toast, breakfast tacos, and burria quesadilla. Our Birria grilled cheese was burnt but they graciously replaced it. Yabba dabba pancakes was fun to order but taste wise it wasn't impressive and was kinda burnt/dry. Service tried their best. They were always coming around and at one point they ran out of knives. The people who ordered a grilled cheese couldn't eat for about 10-15 because they weren't able to cut into their grilled cheese. Because it was my friends birthday, they came with ice cream taco and gave us 2 free. It was actually so delicious. They gave others churros with ice cream which we kinda wished we got. They served free shots in an airplane which was funny. I would come again at a quieter time just to try different things on the menu. It does get SUPER packed at their peak brunch time so I would get ready for a lot of bodies and borderline ratchetness. read more

Went here with a friend for a Friday evening Happy Hour. I've been waiting to try this place for a while; the anticipation was already built. I loved the decor and ambience, it's very cozy and inviting on a hot summer day! We ordered passionfruit margaritas, the shrimp ceviche, and beef/chicken empanadas. I was very disappointed. The ceviche was a little bit on the sweeter side, and the shrimp tasted frozen. The empanadas were a bit burnt, and I wasn't a fan of the filling. The beef was way too ground for my liking, and the chicken was on the drier side. The margaritas were watered down. I appreciate our server; she was kind and honest. She let us know that happy hour drinks come from a pre-made batch. No wonder my drink tasted like juice. The food was very mediocre, I don't think I will be back. don't We went to Panela next door for a real cocktail, I wish we knew sooner. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite and got bar service, at 3pm the place was hopping. The side room was packed and several parties looked to be in full swing with yard long towers on the tables. Def. A hip scene and a place to go to meet people. We had the quickest meal which we needed as we were on the move, both got a great quesadilla and water, for this price in view of nyc you can't beat it. $26 per person which included a $10 tip. Wow, recommend. Obviously the drink game is what most people had come to partake, by the size of the crowd it looks strong. read more

The birria tacos here are really good and really filling. The mobile ordering is convenient but it does make the experience feel slightly less like a true sit down restaurant. Because of this service isn't as attentive as I have seen with other restaurants. The proximity to nightlife and cute decor add points for sure. read more

I had my eye on this spot for a while as Mexican food is one of favorites. I was at an international women's events at the W hotel and need some food. This was close by and it was a Friday night so definitely a busy night there. We were able to grab a table and were attended to right away. I ordered the La Brujeria which was very good and strong and some Birria tacos which were delish as well. I tried my partners stuffed churros and they were actually delicious event thought I'm not big on churros. Overall the place is a vibe, service is attentive, food is good just wish the music was a bit more diverse. read more

Fat Taco is a fun and lively restaurant located conveniently by the PATH station in Hoboken. The service is fast - You scan a QR code and order rounds as you want, wait staff brings your food and drinks to the table. NOTE: Need apple pay! The tacos were tasty - $6 and $7 each for the chorizo and birria, respectively. Both classic. Ordered a frozen strawberry marg with sugar lined rim - These are STRONG! Will definitely be back! read more

Checked out Fat Taco on a Friday night right before the nightlife began and it was so loud already- the dj was there when we arrived and we had to yell to hear each other. The decor was nice and our server was great and the food! Everything we had (queso and chips, birria tacos) was really tasty but definitely under Hoboken prices $$. The bucket margaritas were also pretty good and not overly sweet like a lot of other margarita places, it was smaller than expected for their regular price but we did wait for the restaurant to turn into nightlife that night to get the specialized price. The seating is not very comfortable with the chairs/stools being how there are but it goes with the decor/ambience of the place. It's Hoboken- so paid street parking especially in this area can be tricky, try to find parking a couple streets down and just walk or grab a ride here. Make the reservation! It can get pretty busy quickly, on weekends. read more

Fat tacos is one my favorite place to go for taco Tuesdays. They have a limited tacos for $30 from the select menu and there's a good variety of options of tacos to choose from. The birria empanadas were so so good. The different tacos were flavorful and delicious. The dessert taco was also really good and I thought it was super cool that they lit it up to flambé it. Service was great and tacos came out quick and at an average pace every time. read more

The bar girls are rude!!!!!! Tell them to acknowledge customers when they sit at the bar and not have me looking stupid waiting. The girl knew I was fed up ,me and the person I was with ordered 1 drink each and left because of her attitude looking face.

Good place with nice decor with neon signs, murals and quotes on the walls to hangout with friends and enjoy the drinks while savoring Mexican food in the heart of Hoboken. They have both indoor with bar area and a adjacent dinning area with high tables as well as outdoor curbside seating. We went on a Friday and got seated right away. We ordered few cocktails and some appetizers. Our server was very attentive and polite. Drinks were amazing and food was good too. There was a DJ playing from 7pm which we felt was unecessary and too loud to have conversation and enjoy the dinner. Around 10pm, all the tables gets moved and it's turns into a dance floor with DJ playing all kind of songs. Overall, it was a fun evening except the music being too loud while dining. read more

I absolutely love the location ! Pros : the food was really good especially the shrimp tacos , I do wish I could have gotten at least 2 tacos for the price of $7 , but I was very satisfied with the taste , I do wish that in the chicken quesadilla it had a little more flavor . Maybe seasoning . I'll give the over all meal a turn 7/10 . The service was really good the manager Kevin was nice as well . I can't wait to go back one day Cons: the prices are a bit much for the tacos when you only get 1 Prices : $55 per person read more

I'll take a taco any day!! I usually don't travel outside of New York for a restaurant but Fat Taco in Hoboken was worth the trip and it's only 25 mins and a $3 dollar ride on the Path train so there's no excuse to not check them out. Known as the House of Birria... they have an extensive menu of Mexican cuisine including a number of items with their famous Birria sauce. I tried their Birria Quesadilla's but they also had chicken and beef tacos, Mac & Cheese, Grilled Cheese, Birria Bombs and Dumplings so you have an option of the classic or something completely new! I obviously needed to try a bit of everything so I also got their Street Corn Mac & Cheese, Baja Fish Tacos and Flautas and omg.. everything was so flavorful. Let's not forget about the drinks. I love a place that offers a good flight and this margarita flight included the classic, mango, strawberry and passion fruit margaritas that were so refreshing for the hot day. Although I didn't visit on a specialty day they also have Happy Hour, Taco Tuesdays featuring $30 all you can eat tacos and Fat Taco Fridays with $15 Margarita Buckets and $3 Green Teas from 10-12 am So be sure to save this post for later and add Fat Taco to your list and as always be sure to join me @naturallynory for more NYC Foodie Adventures Fat Taco 32 Newark St, Hoboken, NJ 07030 @fattaco What I Had * Birria Flatbread * Birria Quesadilla * Baja Fish Taco * Sweet Corn Mac & Cheese * Flautas * Mango Sorbet * Margarita Flight * Frozen Strawberry Margarita #fattaco #fattacohoboken #tacotuesday #birria #njeats #njrestaurant #newjersey #newjerseyrestaurant #hoboken #hobokenrestaurants #mexicanfood #mexicanrestaurant #happyhour #brunch #goodeats read more

Stopped in for cinco de mayo- yes we had a resy! Place was a total zoo! Line to get into the bar was very long and rainy... lucky I cut the line to get a table with the host. We asked to be seated outside since it was extremely loud with the DJ inside. You order using the QR code on the table - service was pretty good considering it was packed. We tried the mango margarita bucket (good!!), Mexican street corn, Birria quesadillas (so good!), 1 Pollo Asado & 1 Toro Asado taco. We also got 2 sides of chips and side of sour cream (1$) we never got the sour cream.... it was hard to get ahold of the staff so we just didn't even mention it. Oh well. Although a little pricey it was good. Would like to try it again maybe during the day...when it's not a night club! read more

Had a girls day in Hoboken and have been hearing about this place nonstop, so we had to try! We got 2 bucket margaritas--the Boba Loca was absolutely delicious and refreshing! We opted to sit outside but the decor inside was fun and on theme with the mexican restaurant vibes. We opted for some chips and gucamole as well as some queso to start, which were both super tasty, we had to ask for multiple refills of chips. Then we split the Tokyo Nachos, Birria Quesadilla and the Chicken Tinga Tostadas. The nachos were light and the sauce with the tuna was delicious! The quesadilla was very good, couldn't get enough of the sauce to dip it in. The tostadas were good too, all the different flavors paired nicely together. Overall, we had a good time, I would definitely come back. read more

I love margaritas and happy hour so I was super excited to try Fat Taco. They have awesome bogo deals for apps and margaritas during happy hour. You order via a QR code and start a running tab and the server comes over to check your order before it gets submitted. At first I wasn't the biggest fan of this system but it is easy to order more and close out without having to flag down your server. We started with the $11 bogo app deal: nachos and jalapeño poppers. We did the $14 bogo margarita deal: a passion fruit and a mango margarita, both on the rocks with tajin on the rim. We also got the Birria mac and cheese and 3 tacos: shrimp, chicken and chorizo. Nachos were so good considering that there wasn't any meat on them. Poppers were standard but good. The mac and cheese tasted like velveta and was super creamy. It was tasty but very heavy/filling. The tacos were good but are pricey, $6-7 a piece (depending on the selected meat). I don't think they're worth the price tag. The margs were strong and tasty - such a great deal for only $14. We ordered a Modelo and did another round of bogo margs: original on the rocks and a frozen strawberry. The margs really sneak up on you. After having 2 and sharing the 3rd I was really feeling it. I think I'll stick with just one next time lol. Our server and the guy running the food were very nice. The music was on the louder side but my boyfriend and I were still able to converse. I'll definitely be back for happy hour! read more

Fat Taco Hoboken - Passion fruit Margarita, nachos, jalapeño poppers, mango Margarita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Came here because my friend and I wanted to check it out. The vibe was nice, and the music was good. The food looked good when other people ordered. I had the LA brujeria, and it was tasty it's coconut rum, so it's sneaky. Then I ordered a mango margarita while waiting on my friend, which wasn't bad. The drink special advertised from 10-12 is only for beer, which is advertised for $1 starting at 9pm. So I'm confused as to why they added the drink special. The crowd was mixed, then dispersed, then more people came, and it got younger by the minute. Being that it was St. Patrick's Day, the street was bustling, and being from Brooklyn, I actually like that strip in Hoboken. It's a nice spot with cute decals and murals. And, I like that the bathroom is regulated by security. Would Def recommend it for a vibe out with friends. Around 12 am, there is a line. read more

Visited Sept. 2022. My girls and I checked out Fat Taco for brunch on a Saturday after hanging out at Tipsy Tie Dye! We were seated immediately and welcomed with a vibe. The aesthetics are cool and it wasn't packed at the time we went around 3pm. The menu didn't have many vegetarian options at the time but now, I checked their menu and there are so many more! For starters we ordered the Mexican street corn and carne asada fries. We decided on a sangria tower which was a great idea for a group of 4. We all were able to enjoy 3 glasses each. For my entrée, I had to order the churro french toast. Anything churro flavored is my jam! We all enjoyed our meals while dancing in our chair with music from a live DJ. Our waitress was attentive the entire visit which contributed to the good experience. Since they have more vegetarian options for myself, I definitely want to visit again and try out more menu items. This spot is cute for a birthday brunch or brunch with the girls! read more

My experiences here were pretty inconsistent. You order from your phone via QR code and they bring the food out to you. On my first visit, service was quick and the food came out within 15 minutes, but I came again on a Saturday afternoon and it was noticably slow. Our entreés took over 30 minutes to arrive. Birria tacos here are decent. Needs more accompaniments like slided radish, jalapeños, and raw onions. The broth is also a bit bland for my taste. I suppose if you can't find any birria tacos in the area, this will suffice. The vibe is lively! Basically a dive bar with loud pop music. And they bring out a sombrero with sparklers if you're celebrating a birthday. read more
