The free chips come with fresh pico de gallo, red and green salsa. The horchata and juices come in quart sizes, cost less than $7, and are not listed on the menu, so be sure to ask. If you are adventurous, try the different taco fillings like cow head and tripe for just $4 each. Servers are always so pleasant, despite being nonstop busy into the wee hours of the night. Just also know that there's no going there without leaving with the smell of fried foods on your hair and clothing!

The restaurant has a small, cozy vibe that makes it nice for a casual lunch spot. The food is also great. I got the bistec en la crema, which was steak with cheese on top, accompanied by rice and beans. The rice and beans were very tasty, as was the steak. I also got the tostadas in the appetizer, which were not as good. Overall, I would definitely recommend if you are looking for authentic Mexican food in NB. 4/5

When my lunch plans fell through it was a perfect opportunity to check this place out. If you were going past here too fast you would definitely miss it It is a small restaurant that faces a big hole in the ground in New Brunswick. Parking is New Brunswick parking, if you've parked in New Brunswick you know it to expect. If you've never parked in New Brunswick try circling around a few times and if you don't have any luck with the meters you might have to pay for one of the decks, fortunately there was one right around the corner from this place. When I came in I already knew what I wanted to try, The namesake menu item that has been pretty popular lately. There were a few tables downstairs, and there was a stairwell upstairs that I never ventured up. The few times I visited here I've always found first four seating and never felt the need to see what was up the stairs. The tacos came out a little while after ordering and they looked really good. I think this was my first time consciously trying Iberia tacos and they were very good. I might not be the best person to judge this is I've never had other ones. But I was satisfied with what I had and the broth that it was served with was delicious. I have been back since, and will likely be back again. If you're in the mood for some good tacos you should check this place out.

Other customers were very rude by hoarding the chairs from other tables placing them at their table while not using them the entire time we were in the restaurant. It was hard to enjoy our food while grown adults were being rude to quiet teenagers because they did not want them to sit. The time was 11:30 pm The food was exceptional. The steak quesadilla was perfectly crisp on the outside, with tender, flavorful meat and melted cheese that made every bite indulgent. It's the kind of dish that reminds you why you love food...simple ingredients elevated with skill and pride. The only downside had nothing to do with the restaurant itself. A group of customers were hoarding chairs and behaving rudely toward teenagers who simply wanted a place to sit. It made it difficult to enjoy our meal while grown adults were pointing, laughing, and creating an uncomfortable environment. After a long day, I wasn't going to allow anyone to make my children feel unwelcome, so I spoke up. Despite that, Taco Empreso delivered an outstanding culinary experience. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all truly impressive -- a 10/10 visit, and absolutely worth the detour.

We ordered the La Familia spread of 12 tacos and the El Chapo loaded nachos with a chip base. Those nachos were incredible, the Indian-inspired blend of cilantro and chipotle sauce made them so saucy and packed with flavor. For the tacos, we ordered the steak, birria with cheese, butter chicken, hot Nashville, and baja chicken. The birria and chicken tacos were the best. Both house drinks were great too. The horchata was very sweet, while the jamaica had more intense flavor than usually, still very good. The only real disappointment was the coconut shrimp taco, it was forgotten initially, and when it finally arrived, it felt underwhelming with two small shrimp and minimal flavor for $6.50. That said, the overall experience and creative fusion flavors still make this a fun spot to visit with friends.

Very nice and pleasant customer service. Easy check out. I ordered some al pastor and some grilled chicken--came with hot sauce on the side...seems homemade -red and green. I could not pass by the birria quesadillas without trying one. Let's just say, it did not make it home. It was warm, fresh, crispy... AMAZING. I also order a large Jamaica which I found to be perfectly sweet and balanced. The place is pretty small and parking is a bit of an issue... but maybe looking for it further down the street won't be too bad of a walk. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

The name would lead you to believe that it's a small hole in the wall dive. And it may have been that way at one time but they have bought out the space next door and are converting it into a huge 2nd dining room. If a place is expanding that tells me one thing: the food is good. And it is! I ordered chicken fajitas with a side of rice. The fajitas were very flavorful and had generous amounts of chicken. Its also a very large portion so I know what I'll be eating for lunch tomorrow. The rice was a tad on the dry side but I added in several of the sauces and it was good to go. The main dining area is really cute--- definitely a good stop for a date night. Parking is a bit hard to find as you have to turn down a side street to enter the lot in the back of the restaurant. And the food comes out hot and lightning fast. I will definitely be back as they have a very large menu and there are many dishes I want to try. Overall Rating: A-
