Seriously- never cared much for fine casual or the like, but this time and this location, totally deserved a review! That was how fresh it was. Usually the brookfield location does not have the foot traffic as this location does, so that may explain the slight inconsistency with the ingredients. Meanwhile, their soft corn taco shell was soooo fresh like straight from scratch-made. Luckily I ordered 2!! The corn and sour cream were glistening and it was apparent from the bites that can pick up whether it was sitting around for a while or just came into existence not too long ago and made it to their serving tables. Recommend!!!

Sorry, but this place is getting roasted: 2 stars (with an asterisk)…read more Let me start by saying I'm going to do a Guac Time vs. Talkin' Taco comparison since they are next to each other, just to save you from disappointment. This place will NEVER, EVER sniff a 5-star rating, unless you're an idiot with bad taste who just likes to give out random 5 stars. The food was OK at best. I had the tacos and the bowl. FIRST OF ALL, let's start off with the biggest elephant in the room. I looked this place up online because my brother got me some chips and guac, and I noticed, "Hmmm, these are some big bags of chips." The chips are oily, and the guac is the biggest piece of dog crap guac I've ever had. I've had store-bought guac better than that! If you want good guac, go to Talkin' Taco; don't waste your money or your breath for this experience. I'm TELLING YOU! I got online to check their prices and I was like, "Oh, OK, the prices ain't that bad." I thought it was going to cost $26.50 + tax, as it said on the website. Oh my days, I was freaking wrong! I ended up spending a dang $42, and that's not even including the drinks--which I obviously got from outside because drinks are a low-quality item no matter where you go. The rice tasted like cafeteria rice, typical enriched rice. The chicken was OK, but yes, they skimp on the protein. Their sauce selection is trash. It's just a wannabe Chipotle with more sauce selections. Basically, this place has no reason to exist, in my opinion, because it's more expensive than Chipotle, and Chipotle is legit right up the block. It's just another trash Halal place using hype to make money with low-quality food. The interior was freaking trash too, looking like a dang Subway. Listen, I've got high standards. It doesn't even have to be that high, but at least Talkin' Taco has 5-star potential. This place doesn't. This place has no right to be in this location because it's nothing but a money-grabbing, piece-of-trash place. You can clearly go somewhere else. Support local instead, because you'll be more satisfied. I'd rather go to a Mexican food truck. Like dude, at this point, just serve halal food, bro, cause y'all are never sniffing 5 stars... Like I said: either go to Chipotle or go to Talkin' Taco! Don't give this place a chance, you will regret it! I'm 100,000,000% sure! Get this place out of here! I'm only giving this place 2 stars because the employees were OK as well, so shout out to the workers.

Guac Time was unfortunately a one-and-done experience for me. Customer service sets the tone, and…read morethe young lady with glasses was neither friendly nor welcoming. A little kindness goes a long way, and this visit felt like customers were more of an inconvenience than appreciated. What made matters worse was seeing a shorter male employee touch his nose while wearing gloves and then continue working without changing them -- something no customer wants to witness in a food establishment. Also the garbage was overflowing and the seating area was unwelcoming and not clean and orderly. To top it off, the quesadilla was honestly the worst I've ever had. Poor service, questionable food handling, and disappointing food quality made this an easy place to skip. It's a shame because experiences like this are exactly why some restaurants struggle to stay open. Also avoid this place in summer because the AC you can barely feel and it's like eating outside...

That said, the only thing I can really recommend is the $4.99 chicken wrap, which is essentially a McDonald's snack wrap.

And charging to add a side of sauce to tenders should be a crime...

Stopped by Tacos del Barrio near Times Square with high hopes but was not too happy with my meal…read more The place was ok but fell short of my expectations. The place is fine and has a nice simple menu with a decent selection. I ordered the carne asada and al pastor quesadillas. The good part was that they do add a lot of meat inside the quesadillas and certainly did not skimp on the filling. However, I thought the meat was very bland. The meats had basically no flavor, but they did have a nice texture and tenderness. Additionally, I ordered mine with corn tortillas, and they fell apart almost as soon as I picked up the quesadillas, making it very difficult to eat them. Lastly, the quesadillas were very greasy. In terms of beverages, I did enjoy the piña agua Fresca. The location is convenient and the service was excellent, but the food isn't the best. It's not terrible but certainly not memorable enough to want to return again. There are definitely better options around Times Square to choose from.

Usually when people ask me what my favorite type of food is, I tell them I hate to have favorites…read moreand love variety. Judging purely by where I eat though, it most certainly would lean towards Mexico. This is partly to do with the cuisine's ubiquitousness here in New York, because if Thai food was good in the back of every little Thai grocery (which don't really exist on the East coast in numbers anyways), I am sure I would eat a lot more of it. And so on. When I am in Inwood, 10 times out of 12 I will be headed for the El Dugout Patacon Pisao truck that serves delicious Venezuelan street fare. This time however I was walking down 10th Avenue in Inwood with a semi-empty stomach in search of a new place. El Nuevo Azteca stepped up and filled the void. The tostada ($2.50) was the only food I ordered as I wanted to preserve my stomach for as many stops as possible, but a sign beckoned from the refrigerator case with another offer that was too good to refuse: $1.50 Coronas. This turns out to be the takeout price, as they are $3 on the bill and poured into a styrofoam cup. You can tell a lot from a place's tostada, the beans they use, the quality of queso, the crema. Positive on all accounts here at Azteca, although not mind-blowing. It must be said though, that this is just a nice place to relax, have a very cheap meal, and enjoy yourselves. They have a full Mexican and American breakfast menu, as well as all the normal antojitos any place should have. Full entrees are available as well, and the cute surroundings peak on the wall where the window to the kitchen and the large television showing novelas compete for attention.
