Every once in a while you find a restaurant that reminds you why people get excited about food, and this is one of those places. From the moment we walked in, the place was spotless, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience. The meal started with warm, crispy chips and fresh salsa that had just the right amount of kick. Then came the horchata, and honestly, it might be the best I've had anywhere. Smooth, refreshing, and packed with flavor without being overly sweet. For the main event, we ordered a variety of tacos including the al pastor, chorizo, and lengua. Each one brought something different to the table, but all of them shared the same thing: incredible flavor and quality ingredients. The meats were tender, well-seasoned, and served on tortillas that tasted fresh and authentic. What really surprised me was the cemita. If you've never had one before, this is the place to try it. The bread was soft on the inside with the perfect texture on the outside, loaded with fresh ingredients and flavor in every bite. It was one of those menu items that immediately makes you start planning what you'll order on your next visit. And then there was dessert. The custard-filled churros with cinnamon sugar paired with chocolate ice cream were phenomenal. Warm, sweet, crunchy, creamy--everything you want in a dessert and then some. What stands out most about Hashtag Tacos isn't just the food. It's the consistency, attention to detail, cleanliness, and hospitality. You can tell the owners and staff take pride in what they do, and it shows in every part of the experience. There are plenty of places that serve tacos. Hashtag Tacos serves food that makes you want to bring your friends back so they can experience it too. This isn't a five-star review because everything was perfect. It's a five-star review because Hashtag Tacos sets the standard for what a local restaurant should be. read more

If it's taco night, we are likely stoping by Hashtag Tacos (#Tacos). My husband and I typically get takeout--you can order through their website, delivery apps or walk-in to order. The owners are so friendly and very helpful if you have menu questions. They prepare the food very quick too. The restaurant is small, but they have a handful of tables and booths if you want to eat in. Most of the items are sold separately ($3-6 each) so you can try a few things. They have tacos (obviously), burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, speciality dishes and they started serving breakfast. Our favorite is the Shrimp Taco. On our last visit we got four! Perfectly fried, crispy shrimp topped with lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado slice and served with lime. We also tried the Chicken Taco, Chicken Tostada, and Carne Asada Tostada. We don't live too far from Hashtag Tacos so our food was still warm. Everything was good and super fresh. They are generous with their taco toppings and filling. The tortillas are homemade and fluffy. The avocados were perfectly ripe. I like their verde salsa the best, but they have a unique, bright orange salsa that has a little kick. We hope to dine in at Hashtag Tacos very soon--if we think takeout is great, the food served hot and fresh at the restaurant has to be even better. read more

Ordered through Grubhub. They called and said they didn't have an item we ordered and offered alternatives. The order was done quickly and they sent free dessert. Now on to the food. Omg I'm totally making this place a regular thing. The burrito had to weigh close to a pound and was delicious. The torta, not kidding, was close to the size of my head. The beef cutlet was perfectly cooked. And the third dish molotes de queso were phenomenal. I can't wait to try more things off the menu. Excellent value too. read more

Great food and great wait staff. We came here on cinco de mayo and they were not too busy so the food came out in wonderful timing. The server was very friendly and we even took come delicious churros home. I'm not that big into churros, but these were so good I am stilling thinking about them. We got guac and then a burrito and a steak dinner. read more

We have ordered a few times from delivery but this was first time eating in. The service was great and food prepared fast. Everything tasted great. The carne was something new to try and it had a great flavor. My son is huge fan of the Birria tacos. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Went to this place recently, and man, was it worth it. It is in Wallingford, not necessarily in the main street where all the restaurants are, which was good. The place has several tables inside enough to sit maybe 20 to 25 people. Very authentic Mexican food. We had tortas (Mexican sandwich) which were HUGE. They were about $10 which was an amazing deal. I had the burrito, which was just a perfect combination of ingredients and the right amount of them in the burrito. Sometimes restaurants put too much stuff where you can't even eat that thing. We also had a kids quesadilla that came with rice and refried beans. For a kids meal it had a lot food. Staff was super friendly and I can't wait to stop by next time I'm in town. read more

Hashtag Tacos is a solid taco spot in Wallingford! Here's the scoop: This restaurant is located in a small strip mall with a couple other businesses. The parking lot is not very large, and is shared with the other businesses. I've gone on a Friday/Saturday night before when the lot was full. Luckily people are always in and out so I just waited in my car for a few minutes until a space opened up. The restaurant itself is fairly small. It's mostly a takeout restaurant, but there are a few tables inside where you can sit, as well as a couple table outside on the sidewalk. It's really nothing too fancy. I've been several times, and this most recent time I ordered the chips and guacamole (mild) for an appetizer, and then two fish tacos for dinner. The guacamole was EXCELLENT. Super fresh and tasted so good! The fish tacos were also excellent. The fried fish was very crispy. The tacos come with pico de gallo, lettuce, and an avocado slice (I usually skip the avocado slice) and are ordered individually. My only criticism would be the service the last time I went... while the staff seemed very nice, after the waitress served my food she didn't come back to check on my table (even though I was the only table in the place) and didn't come back at all after dropping my food. I actually had to go up to the counter and ask to pay. It could have been that she was just busy doing other things (but again, I was the only table in the place). Overall, not a huge deal and I will still definitely be going back! read more

My friend suggested Hashtag Tacos and I had never heard of it before so I obliged. Plus, I had to make up for the fail of a meal yesterday at the other Mexican restaurant. We kept it simple and got guacamole and chips and shrimp quesadilla. The food was good and the staff is super friendly. There are no frills to the restaurant but it's cozy and a nice spot to grab a quick meal. read more

I frequent here for their burritos. However I haven't been in a while and we just got takeout from here tonight. Everything is always so gooooood! Still love their steak burritos HOWEVER what happened... there was hardly any steak in my burrito. It was half rice. I know inflation but prices went up and I have less steak in my burrito.. I'm not knocking the place bc I still enjoy the food. Is there new ownership or something? read more

Again amazing ! The simple pleasures of a burrito are enhanced with the finest ingredients and thoughtful preparation and presentation. Even the flour burrito itself is delicious and just perfectly made crisp. Save room for some homemade flan, certainly the best I have ever had. Glad to be back and plan to come back again soon. You will be impressed with the food, ambiance and hospitality of the owners! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while, but I'm a long time fan of Taqueria Mexico, so I don't deviate from there a lot. I was in the mood for shrimp tacos, though and i have to say this place was great! I ended up trying the shrimp, chicken, & steak tacos. The shrimp & chicken were my favorites. As for the place itself, it's cute inside and super clean. Service is fast & friendly. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great staff serving mediocre food. Got 3 Chorizo Tacos, bland and boring. The red sauce they give you on the side was like tomato juice with jalapeños seeds for heat. Likelihood of me returning on a scale of 1 to 10 is 1. Sorry Hashtag tacos read more

Birria tacos were AMAZING! EXCELLENT FLAVOR!! I love sopes ! Would sunbelt come back

The fact that I even need to make a yelp account to give this place a review is sickening I ordered a shrimp burrito and it made me feel sick, I was starving and had to take a bite out of the worst thing I've ever ate the batter on the shrimp tasted like straight oil wasn't even crunchy it was soft. Spent $20 a I personally think I deserve a refund. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The tacos were fresh, perfectly sized for street tacos. The salsas for them (red and green) were perfectly spiced. The red was not overly hot and had just enough kick to it. Carne asada, shrimp and Carnita tacos were cooked and seasoned perfectly. And the flan and churros were unbelievably delicious. I am not a huge flan fan but this was truly cooked to perfection. And the churros were not oily but also fried just right with a very tasty caramel sauce. Will definitely be going back for #tacotuesdays. read more

Love this place. Delicious food. Great service. The birria tacos are amazing. Definitely worth trying. We are so glad we did

Happen to be in the area and wanted some tacos. Came across this place and I am so happy my maps suggested it. Small family style place with great festive decor. Staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions. I order 5 tacos. Two shrimp, one fish and two carne asada. My wait time for the food wasn't long at all and the prices are reasonable standard price for tacos. The tacos were absolutely delicious. The carne asada tacos were my favorite of the three but I will be back to try the different varieties they have as well as the dishes. They were authentic Mexican cuisine tacos and I definitely recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Ordered take out from here. The people I spoke to were nice, though not terribly knowledgeable about the vegan friendliness of the food, to their credit, they did double check with the kitchen before confirming everything after I pushed them a bit. The sauces were fine but the dishes themselves had no salt whatsoever. Fries = no salt, chips = no salt, guac = well, you get the idea. The rice was also overcooked and not very well seasoned. My friends also did not enjoy their tacos or any of their other dishes, and they threw it away. I was sad because I had suggested it as a hail mary vegan friendly compromise, but it was not worth it, at all. I do not recommend. read more

So good! Authentic taste. So friendly. Great service. Very clean festive atmosphere. Prices are quite reasonable. Highly recommend.

I had a craving for tacos & how fortunate to find this gem in the town of Wallingford. I promptly ordered the chicken & steak tacos, while my Queen ordered the fish taco salad. The meal was absolutely delicious!!! The chicken was moist, much to my delight & the steak was flavorful. Totally outstanding!!! read more

Chicken quesadillas was bomb!! Chicken had so much flavor. My husband had the steak burrito, also super delicious. Affordable and good service. We will be back!! We got take our, but they have a nice dining area if you want to eat at the restaurant. read more

Delicious food. Best mexican food around. Food is fast and reasonably priced. My go-to for burritos or tacos.

First time visiting. The freshest taco I've ever eaten, as was the salsa served with fresh chips. The $4.00 taco wasn't very large so get two..... Or even three! I will be back! read more

Delicious food! Huge serving. I had the steak rice bowl. Amazing! The steak was very flavorful. Enjoyed it.

We have not eaten there, but have had take out just-about weekly since a few months into quarantine. My family all love everything on the menu we have tried, and that's a lot of love! The fresh tortillas are wonderful. Fajitas come with the take-out container nearly overflowing. When I get fajitas, one order is easily two-to-three meals. (I ask for extra tortillas) One of my favourite things to eat ever is fish tacos, and they are fabulous. I could eat them every day. Their guacamole is chunky and dreamy. Only one suggestion: refried beans are not vegetarian friendly. I eat fish, obviously, but I don't eat refried beans that are made with lard. Black beans are vegetarian, and a good option, but please make some vegetarian refried beans Ohhhh, can we talk about the flan? Trust me. You want to order the flan. One piece is plenty for two to share. This place is a little gem. Enjoy! read more

Visited today for the first time. I got the taco salad (a recommmendation from my mom who was here for the second day in a row) and she got the chicken tacos. Everything was great - well seasoned and flavorful. The taco shell for the salad was not greasy! The hot sauces added the right amount of spice. The churros were also perfectly fried and so delicious with the caramel sauce. It was busy but the staff were great and very thoughtful. We will definitely be back! read more

I was looking for good Mexican food and found a diamond in the rough. I'm very glad we went here, and I'd return. The space was cosy and the staff was attentive to us. We started with chips and guac, had tacos, burritos, and quesadillas as our main, and finished with flan. All were good choices. read more

Our family loves this place! The food is great and the portions are generous. I can't wait to the next time!

Delicious tacos and quesadillas. We got the lengua, al pastor, and carne asada tacos and a steak quesadilla. All of the meat was tender, juicy, and tasty. I rate the al pastor 8/10, carne asada 7/10, and the lengua 10/10! Not quite California taco truck level, but the some of the best I've had in the area. The quesadilla was to die for, so savory with lots of cheese and meat. Prices are acceptable $2.50-3 per taco. $8 per quesadilla. We walked in to order take-out and happily waited about 15 minutes for our food so everything was very fresh. They were out of beans and rice, but that didn't impact our order at all and was probably because we went pretty close to closing time. The lady at the counter was very friendly and the service was great. We will definitely be visiting again! read more

The food was terrible. They use mozzarella cheese. Since when are tacos made with mozzarella? They give us each 2 Tortilla chips for the nice helping of refried beans - they were all stale. The food had no flavor. And everything was cold. So not worth the time or money. read more

Food was fine - likely won't go back. Everything was so over the top spicy - I really like spice but this was just tastebud destroying spicy. Better options in the area to go to. read more

This place was SO good! It's like the deliciousness of a taco cart with the convenience of a restaurant. The chicken tacos were perfect. Only downside was we didn't realize they were singles. So the next time we ordered more. Lol. We've tried lots of different things each time and never been disappointed on flavor. Save room for the churros because they were insane, but I recommend sharing them because they are filling! Mexican coke and sprite FTW. read more

Ok. So I figured I would give them another chance since my husband was craving tacos. Not a good idea... they didn't have the guacamole that we ordered because they "don't have avocados," so everything that we ordered that was supposed to have fresh avocado, did not. Secondly, I asked for no cilantro on the items that my husband ordered... needless to say... covered in cilantro, and I have to say, everything is bland and tasteless, anything with corn tacos were awful. The tortillas were tough, very dry and tasted old with an overpowering bitter flavor (which in essence was the only flavor) . This said, I'm inclined to downgrade to one star. We threw it away, even the pork which in most places is slow cooked and full of flavor... bland... tasteless. I wouldn't waste your time or money. Not a fan. read more

Fantastic Mexican food! Everything we ordered as a 10 out of 10. The chicken quesadilla was sooooo cheesey and perfect. The tacos and burrito were amazing. My husband said the flan was the best he's ever had. Will be returning consistently! read more

This little place is a true Yale's I'll hidden gem. I ate in, there once, before pandemic and now Take-out. Omg both times so good. There tacos are fresh tasting and unique. Today I got the chili's rellenos delivered. So delicious. Chili rellenos is my favorite dish in Mexican cuisine, I've ordered it in many different restaurants both in state and out of state. Have to say this little place is right up there with the best of them. I love the sauce they Put on it. And I'm not generally a fan of Mexican rice but I'm totally digging theirs! Please check this place out. read more
