    Three shrimp tacos, rice and beans & cauliflower tacos...
    Adrianne S.

    We come here for Brianna She's the best server ever!!! So easy going, soooo nice and so efficient!!! And the picture of our food speaks for itself. Fast ‍service! The "broke" margaritas were fantastic (two for one). Thank you !!!

    Another great experience, food was excellent and server was so friendly and chill. Forget his name but he did a great job. Love this place!

    Terrible experience. Can't review the food because after more than an hour wait, we gave up and left. Abysmal effort. Just a bunch of employees standing around in a half-filled bar looking confused, lost and utterly helpless. Tacos are a lot of things but they are NOT complicated. Tacos are street food - made fast to move fast. Garage Taco has no sense of propulsion, much less service or customer experience. Again, awful. If this place existed in a town that had any semblance of competition or pace they would be out of business yesterday.

    Fun atmosphere, food you can eat with your hands, and a friendly staff? Sign me up. They have wine in a can. This place ain't pretentious! The tacos are the highlight, and don't sleep on their side salad. It's also a good place to knock back a few on a date or after work (if you work downtown, that is, otherwise parking can be tricky). You get the fun and liveliness of downtown without all the "extra" of being closer to State St. Wait times for tables can be up to 40 minutes, but the bar is first come first serve, so if you see a spot, grab it. You'll be able to order from the full menu. Portion sizes are generous, so you won't be hungry when you walk out.

    Stopped by for dinner on our mini family vacation and was feeling some Mexican food. The food was subpar but the service was good. Server was friendly and answered a lot of questions. Tacos from Barbacoa to fish didn't have much flavor. Tortilla seemed very large and not house-made. Loaded nachos was tasty but what you expect on a drunken night. The worst is the quesadilla. I would not recommend that item. It's hard to butcher a quesadilla but this one was loaded with too much sauce and drippy cheese that wasn't Monterey cheese. Seemed like sauce or queso.

    We were in Binghamton and Garage was close to our hotel and dog friendly and oh yeah we love tacos and margs! It had just rained but the staff was kind enough to give us some towels to dry off the outdoor seating. We were starving after a long day of traveling so we ordered chips and queso, a shrimp taco meal, Barbacoa taco meal and the absolutely necessary margarita. The food came out quick and it was good. The chips were fresh and the queso was creamy and had just enough zip. The taco meals were filling and had some yummy rice and beans to accompany the tacos. The shrimp was cooked well and was flavorful. The barbacoa was tender and flavorful, the twist is that it was cooked with Dr. Pepper. On top of the delicious food we had an amazing experience from the wonderful staff. They were beyond attentive, kind and checked on us several times. They made sure our dog had water, we had enough chips and beverages and that we were enjoying our meal. The host was actually a cook who was not able to cook right now due to a wrist injury but he was a phenomenal server/ host and even brought out some yummy home made hot sauce that is made here on site. The only bad part of this meal is that it's not close to home.

    Excellent Food, slow service and great vibe. Granddaughter wanted to come here so we did. Service was good to take order, slow to get food but they were slammed. Unfortunately my son ordered something they brought the wrong plate and then 2nd one came out after we all were done eating. Still the wrong plate. My son ended up eating it but only half the other half was very spicy. Waitress apologized as she was new. But no compensation for wrong order. But you need yo get the churro dessert. That is what gave them a 3 star. Awesome and all 5 of us split it. Granddaughter was entertained in the outdoor seating area while we waited. It was a long dinner over 2 hours to eat.

    A Siskel & Ebert thumbs up.

    Love the atmosphere, they have hardworking crew, and enjoyed my tacos with my son. Went late Friday night during karaoke and added to the vibe. Support local. Thanks for the yummy food.

For the Triple Dipper we chose the Southwestern Eggrolls, Fried Mozzarella, and Honey-Chipotle Chicken Strips. Eggrolls were made with crispy flour tortillas, chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeño Jack cheese, red peppers, spinach. Served with avocado-ranch. Fried Mozzarella was perfectly crisp with so much cheese. Perfect cheese pull when eaten fresh. Served with Marinara sauce. Chicken Strips were meaty and juicy, but I found the Honey-Chipotle was a little too salty. Served with house-made ranch. Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas tastes exactly as you would expect. Includes grilled chicken, shredded cheese, chile spices, bacon, house-made ranch. Served with pico, sour cream, ranch. I would definitely come back for the Southwestern Eggrolls and the Friend Mozzarella. Our server was attentive when he saw that we finished paying at the table, he brought over to-go containers.

    I ordered the big QP burger, not so big. Comes with FF. Every tables have a bottle of empty ketchup…read moreonly. Before my order came to me I asked for more ketchup. I received my food and no ketchup. I pushed my food to the side and waited. Five minutes later they gave me the ketchup. Taste wise it was ok. All other factors for food and beverage not up to standards of a good restaurant! This was my second time in this restaurant and I will not return for a third!

    HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!! RIP OFF!!! Me and my husband…read morestopped by while we were on break last night. Our server name was Dawn, we both ordered the fish dinner mine I got fried, which came with the salad bar. Before our meal came we both decided to have a salad(lettuce, tomato, cheese and croutons). After our 1 bowl of salad our food comes. MY FISH WAS HORRIBLE!!! It was so soggy and mushy...just gross, I've never had fried fish that was mushy, it taste like they soaked it in water for forever. So while my husband sat and ate his grilled fish I had nothing to eat because my waitress decided to go on a cigarette break after she dropped our food off. About 20 min later she finally returns and I tell her what's wrong with my food, and ask her if she can just take it off(since I didn't eat any of it) and just charge me for the bowl of salad. Ms Dawn decided instead of changing me for the 1 bowl of salad I had, she was going to charge me $10 for the entire salad bar. I didn't have pasta, or soup or anything else...just 1 bowl of salad. $10.50 for 1 bowl of lettuce with tomatoes cheese and croutons. Such a RIP OFF!!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN...WARNING THEY ARE A RIP OFF!!! DONT GO!!!
