God I love this place. I want to gatekeep it SO badly so it's never too busy for me to dine in, but…read moreI also want them to make a million dollars and stay open forever, so here we are. The tortillas are made from fresh masa pressed to order, which is amazing by itself, but on top of that, every taco I've had is nothing short of delightful. Every time I visit, my order has been increasing by one taco because I can't get enough. They are so kind and friendly, they remember my order and preferred toppings (or lackthereof, met with zero judgement!!), and the atmosphere is super comfortable. It is semi-loud, which I personally have no problem with, but I have seen stuffy older people come in and be turned off (bye, more tacos for me!). When I die, please bury me in a mound of Tacos Los Gordos carnitas!!!! TLG, you will see me weekly as long as I live in New Haven.

I have never seen three people work harder than in this kitchen on Cinco de Mayo. Thankfully, I put…read morein my order about 10 minutes after they reopened at 5 PM. Minutes later, chaos ensued, and there was a line of about 20 people that never went away. They make the tortillas from scratch, I watched a woman in the kitchen, piecing off the dough and then flattening them in a press, and then putting them on the grill, over and over and over again. By the way, their tortilla chips are made of this same homemade goodness. I can see why there was a line out the door until I finished my meal. The tacos I ordered were perfectly seasoned, very tender, and incredibly juicy. I don't think I've ever had tacos like that before. Even if there is a line, I would highly recommend stopping in for these delicious morsels.

The seating is a bit limited, but the overall setup in the restaurant is nice and cozy. We parked on the street next to the restaurant, as it is located on the main road. We cannot wait to go again and try some more of their dishes. p.s. Looking at some other comments, I agree that it is a bit bizarre to see only 3-4 chips on your plate next to your food.

I got three burritos; the black bean burrito, the mixed vegetable burrito and the spinach burrito. For all the vegans out there, if you want these burritos to be completely plant based, you not only need to ask for no cheese and no sour cream, but you also need to ask them to not cook the vegetables in butter. All three burritos were quite big and the flavor in each was very good. The black bean burrito has a generous amount of beans. The mixed vegetable burrito was the biggest out of all of them and had a lot of fresh veggies, including broccoli. The spinach burrito was also good but they were a little skimpy on the spinach. All in all this is a good local Tex Mex takeout/delivery spot and if you're tired of eating at large chains then this place is a good go to.

I stopped by this place a few years ago, and to be honest, I'm genuinely surprised it's still in…read morebusiness. Back then, I ordered a few tacos and a burrito--simple enough, right? Unfortunately, what followed was an unforgettable (and very unpleasant) experience with food poisoning that had me regretting every bite. What struck me immediately, even before the meal, was the atmosphere. Walking into a Mexican restaurant where not a single person behind the counter seemed connected to the cuisine's roots felt... off. In my experience, the best mom-and-pop spots have that authentic touch--the kind that comes from people cooking the food they grew up with. Out of curiosity, I recently checked Yelp to see if the place was still open--and to my shock, it is. Reading through the glowing reviews, I started to wonder if we even ate at the same restaurant. Anyone calling this food "good" must have an iron stomach or a very different definition of flavor. To put it simply: I got sick, and I won't be returning. Some restaurants earn a second chance. This isn't one of them. ZERO STARS

The fries tasted like they were refried from earlier in the day or even the day before. The chicken was rather salty but edible. The fish also tasted like it was reheated from another day, maybe even microwaved. Not exactly sure but it sure did not taste fresh! My Wife and I were very disappointed as we spent $50+ dollars to eat lunch from this spot and it was subpar. That's the risk you take when trying something new tho. The plantains were the best thing we got from this place. The spinach and cheese empanadas are loaded with too much cumin! It was an immediate no from my first and only bite! In conclusion, it is safe to say the empanadas are decent enough but as far as anything else, I wouldn't recommend it. We will not be returning to this establishment.

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.

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.
