Great Service, But a West Coast Palate Had Trouble Adjusting…read more My husband and I decided to try Rustic Taco Bar during Canal Days, hoping for a taste of our former home on the West Coast. First off, I want to give a huge shout-out to the staff. The service was truly great--super friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy it was during the festival. We really appreciated how welcoming they were. However, we found the food to be a bit of a culture shock for our palates. We understand there are regional differences, and for us, this was very different from the Mexican food we're used to. The tacos were served on flour tortillas that, since they weren't freshly made, could have really benefited from being heated or toasted on the grill to give them a better texture and taste. The biggest surprise for us was the filling. We've learned that "beef" on the East Coast often means ground beef, which was very odd for us in a taco, as we were expecting carne asada. It brought back memories of childhood taco nights rather than the street tacos we know and love. The salsa was just okay; for us, it was really missing that punch of salt and a fresh squeeze of lime juice that makes a salsa pop. Overall, the people were wonderful, but the food just didn't quite hit the mark for our West Coast tastes. If you're not used to SoCal-style Mexican food, you might enjoy this more than we did. For us, it was a reminder that we're a long way from San Diego!

Cool place with a comfy feel that was very busy, which is always a good sign. Our waitress was nice…read moreand attentive for how busy it was. The tacos here are unique with a garbage plate taco, steak frites taco among others. They don't skimp on the the size or fillings for the tacos which I guess warrants the higher price per taco. You shouldn't leave hungry which I love. Overall the food was good. I had the steak frites and whiskey barrel bbq taco. Both were very good and my wife had the rustic beer fry(fish) taco and mango marg taco. 2 downsides that pushed me from a 4 to a 3. We ordered the elote corn side dish. It came out as corn on the cob which is not practical for dining out given the amount of toppings. We managed to cut a bunch off and the flavor was great but a mess. The other was a takeout order that we were bringing home for our daughter. It was entirely incorrect and the items we got were about 1/2 the price of what we ordered. We didn't realize until we were home staring in the face of disappointment and refusal to eat what we delivered from our daughter. That said I would still go back, but lesson learned on the corn and takeout.

Our favorite Tex Mex restaurant recently closed and, to drown our sorrows in margaritas, we decided…read moreto give Guacamole a try... and we were not disappointed! There is a very nice indoor dining area, a small bar and a delightful garden patio with more seating than one usually expects to see. The food was fantastic! Fresh ingredients, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try something else from the menu. To top it off our server was delightful. Helpful with suggestions, just the right amount of chatty and very efficient. Hope to see her there on every visit. So, the search for a new favorite Tex Mex restaurant may be over almost before it began. We will be back again and again

They have been around for over a year now and my…read morefamily was looking for a quick grab and go that wasn't the typical fast food choices in Farmington. My kids love Moe's burrito and bowls, so we thought it would be good to try a different place. After taking a bite or two, both my kids said their ground beef didn't taste very good and it was very dry. I ordered the burrito suizo with carne asada. The steak in the burrito was very dry and hard to get down without drowning it in the sour cream and guacamole. The tortilla chips were chewy and did not taste fresh. The only positives were the Spanish rice and their guacamole. They were friendly and placing the order of the phone was easy. Overall, I will choose to spend my money at other establishments.

I was lucky enough to come across this food truck when visiting Damiani Wine Cellars. I'm so glad…read morethey were there because my friend and I were hungry and in need of some tasty bites to go with the wine we were sampling. The barbecue chicken tacos from Sabores de Oaxaca were delicious on their own, and they made a perfect pairing with the glass of Riesling from Damiani's! I ordered some pork tamales to go for my family to taste, but I can't review those because they were gone in a matter of minutes, and I never got a bite! I'll assume they were also just as delicious as those tacos. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, track down Sabores de Oaxaca!

Wife had the fish tacos, which were good, not great. Mango margaritas were delicious. Server was nice, it was busy so she had a lot going on but we never felt neglected. Inside is nice, but I'm looking forward to going back in the summer and sitting in the deck by the canal.

I absolutely love Mexican food and wanted to try Lulus. The service was absolutely amazing- our…read morewaitress was so friendly. Here are some concerns after sitting on it for a few days. I love a good burrito. I couldn't get over the different temps in my burrito. The carnitas were warm and piping and the rice was refrigerator cold. It was an odd mix and even with traveling to Mexico, I haven't experienced two extreme differences in temp inside the burrito. We ordered chips and guacamole AND chips and salsa. Our order came out with 1 basket of chips and then when we asked about the chips for the guacamole, we were charged for the chips. It's odd. It literally says on the menu that chips come with both items. We were there with family so the intention was to split the appetizers. The house margarita was phenomenal and my son said his tacos were great. It's a miss this time for us. The location is gorgeous.

I love The Taco Place! I have only gone for the Mexican food, but they have something for everyone!…read moreIn addition to Mexican, they have hot dogs, burgers and fries and also a selection of ice cream. Sadly, on this visit they did not have any tamales, but my food was still delicious! I opted to get a surf & turf taco (shrimp & barbacoa) and the governador (shrimp with grill onions). There is a bar with a selection of toppings for your tacos including cilantro, pico, hot sauce, pickled onions & more. It also has toppings for burgers/dogs if you went that way. My food was hot, fresh & satisfying. The service was friendly. There is a lot of covered & uncovered outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. They also have a playground and some hammocks. It is a very nice setting to enjoy your food. One if these days I'm gonna get some ice cream too! I will definitely be back to The Taco Place... Hopefully to enjoy some tamales! :)

Thanks everyone for your phenomenal reviews of this place. On our way back from Golden Hills…read moreState Park, my boyfriend and I discovered this place next to Crosbys, where we stopped to use the bathroom. At first, we thought it was just an ice cream place, until noticing the taco sign. The service, fast, friendly, and authentic taste, affordable menu, and for those that have the sweet tooth, their is the ice cream for dessert option. We spilt the two taco deal, and ordered a gringo to share as well. All the food was savory, seasoned perfect, delicious and hearty. Goes to show you, smaller towns like Barker, NY know how to deliver for Mexican food, and who doesn't love ice cream !! If your hungry and find yourself in Barker, NY, Golden Hills State park, stop and order, you wont be disappointed, and pleasantly surprised. Thanks The Taco Place....for a perfect Cinco de Mayo!!!

I do wish we got an additional 3rd taco for the price, but overall I was impressed. I would like to visit the brick and mortar location next.

It was tender, not spicy but flavorful, and the coleslaw topping was refreshing (I don't like Pico de Gallo, I know, I'm a bad Californian that is also allergic to avocado xD).
