    It a new season on the Mall in Brunswick and I have to say my first Taco of the season did not disappoint . It was wonderful to be greeted by your first name and to chat about our winter. I was most excited to introduce my mom who was visiting from Georgia to the best Taco's in Maine. The tacos were amazing as usual Chef Tai is a master of his craft. We are excited for our Saturday tradition of Tacos to have returned. If you are looking for a great Taco , friendly service and a owner that truly wants to prepare you a great meal. Than look no further Taco the town is the place to stop by. If is a Saturday morning you just might see me enjoying my Saturday morning Fish Taco with extra crema.

    El Comote taco on left and Al Pastor taco on right with a side of guacamole. Yummy

    I have been waiting awhile to try out these local tacos. I pass them when I head to work as they bring their truck to Maine Street and it has been a 8:00 am tease for a taco. When I arrived on a beautiful Friday around 12:45, I was greeted by a line. Agh, I loath lines! Yet, I have heard only good things about this place, so I was ready to grin and bear it. The line of about 15 in front only took 10 minutes! Not bad. I ordered from a lovely and patient woman and then stood with the other customers for my food. 8 minutes to be exact is how long I waited for my two pretty tacos. Again, not bad on time. Both tacos were pretty good, I can't say they were mind blowing, but they did a good job on what they needed to do. I enjoyed both and felt full after (always a plus). I look forwarded to trying a burrito next time, I heard they were two meals in one. Yay!

    Excellent street tacos

    Haven't been here in about a year so I thought I would give an update. Typically this food truck is located downtown but they are also one of the food trucks that visits a local brewery (Flight Deck) in the evenings, etc. This place is still an excellent choice for good, fresh Mexican food. This time I ordered three tacos - pork, chicken and beef- and all were very good. The pork is definitely the spiciest, the beef the mildest and sweetest, and I found the chicken to be the best balance of flavors. Everyone I went with was very pleased with their food.... plus the lines were not nearly as long as they are when they are serving lunch on the mall. Definitely will be back!!

    Look for the green truck.

    This unassuming, green taco truck, on the mall in downtown Brunswick has good food. The tacos are served in soft corn tortilla shells. The salsa gave it the right flavor. I didn't miss cheese or sour cream. Flavors came together in an amalgamation of splendid taste. The staff was friendly and food was quick. This was a great, quick, take-out experience. They take card over five dollars, that is a plus.

Finally got to the front of the line to order at 12:15 and was served my food 10 minutes later. $38 for a sandwich is steep and it's cash only so you have to carry a lot of cash if you are feeding a family/group. They were already out of the local honey soda since I guess they're getting ready to close for the season (it's mid September). The lady who took our order when we finally got to the counter was nice. After we ordered we sat down at a table to wait, it was a nice day out and you could kinds of see the water. We didn't have a problem finding a table, so there is probably the perfect amount of tables correlated to the somewhat slow single cashier ordering system. The lobster roll was piled high and delicious. The lobster is cold but tasted very fresh. Got it with some warm butter and some lemons. I prefer a warm lobster roll, but this lobster roll was just outstanding. Huge and fresh and tons of meat, including plenty of tail meat where most other places only give you mostly claw meat. It was loaded so high, I had to take like a third of the meat off just so I could fit the sandwich in my mouth, and then I ate the lobster on its own with a fork. Easily the best lobster roll I've ever had. But again, not sure if it was worth the 1.5+ hour wait. I stopped here on our way from Portland to Bar Harbor for a few days, and I actually had the opportunity to stop here again on the way back but opted not to because 90+ minutes is a long time to wait for a sandwich. I'm glad I got to try it for the experience.

Mr. Tuna is one of three Open Table Exclusive restaurants in Maine, so most every local Chase Reserve card member uses their twice yearly $150 credit here, which explains my visit. The people watching from the outdoor tables on Middle Street must be some of the best in the city. You could easily sip a glass of sake (the dreamy clouds was...dreamy) while eating a toro maki roll and marveling at the tourists waiting in a two hour Eventide line. But we ordered the lemongrass fried tofu salad, salmon toro sashimi and 3 maki rolls, including the green crab special. Everything tasted fresh and excellent with only Yosaku in the same league for Old Port sushi. Of course Yosaku is much more authentic Japanese than Mr. Tuna, though Mr. Tuna is more fun. Like most trendy Portland restaurants, lunch for two with a couple drinks each is $200 all in (get that Chase card!).

Welcoming staff. We had all our bags with us and they offered us every seating option - we settled on the elevated patio, giving us ample room to store our belongings. Rice was seasoned well. Enjoyed the lobster roll + bento. The toro don was not great except for the rice and the ikura. The meal was around $100 - which is pricey for what it was - small roll, potato salad, kale salad, edamame and a toro don - which is called toro don but the description has akame/ikura, maybe call it something else, like tuna don. All the sashimi was fibrous. Based on value and the quality - I would not return.

They also originally started out as a coffee trailer that's since traded hands a few times since. Once they opened this brick & mortar spot the trailer went to become Lark Coffee which can be found in Wells Maine at Scoop Deck (since changed hands again too). Back to Reverie though, they have turned this location into such a welcoming and cozy spot! From beautifully done mural/wall art of flowers and nature to the back corner being a book lovers dream! A wall utilizing books and plants to make a great art piece with some chairs to sit and read for a while. Which my wife did exactly that! They have all the typical coffee and tea drinks you would expect plus specials including a few that rotate monthly. I went with their Honeysuckle that came with honey and pistachio syrups and it tasted amazing with the honey and pistachio being a perfect pairing. My wife went with the Hannah Banana that was banana and brown sugar. That tasted phenomenal as well! The staff were so friendly and remembered quite a few names of customers which speaks to how much people return! Also during our decently long stay here the line never fully ended and the workers kept such a friendly vibe the entire time. They provide such a great cozy space with friendly staff and drinks that will make you wanting to come back! Top notch coffee shop!

I sat at the bar facing Maine st, watching the midweek traffic pass by and leisurely enjoying my coffee. It looked like a very mom- and kid-friendly space, which made sense after learning that it was a woman-owned business. A bulletin board by the front door had a bunch of flyers tacked on to it, and it seemed like a popular neighborhood hub. A cool small business worth supporting.
