With the name like tacomida and the pictures on reviews our expectations were high. however the food fell short. Yucca fries were good, queso dip with beef was just OK. But the tacos were anything but authentic. And I've had very good American tacos, I wouldn't say these were those either. The tortillas tasted like they were made from whole wheat, dry. The pulled pork had absolutely no seasoning. It's a cool trendy place inside, I would stick with drinks and a salad for food. Service was excellent, Jalapeño infused tequila was delicious. read more

Taco Tuesday was well spent at tacomida! We loved sampling the different tacos and could not beat the price at $2 per taco. The appetizers were okay- we found the brussel sprouts to be dry and the yuca fries to be bland, but they stayed hot while we picked on them! We love this spot and try to visit when we are in the area. read more

My wife and I had lunch here. Very nice vibe in this place! The street tacos were good and the mixed drink my wife had was great (they make most of the juices for cocktails in house). The guacamole and chia were awesome. Would recommend! read more

Went on Tuesday for their happy hour at 4. We were one of the first people there. Lovers lane sangria reminded me of a coconut rum bay breeze, tasty but a smidge too sweet for me. House margaritas were delicious. My favorite tacos were the baja fish, chicken barracho, beef barbacoa, and pork carnitas. read more

Solid tacos! A bit messy to eat but the flavor was good. Service was great. We ordered the Baja, chicken, carnitas, and barbacoa tacos. Our favorite was the barbacoa. We sat outside and it was nice but a bit loud due to the bridge being right there. Solid taco spot! read more

Tonight was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the food. The wait staff was very attentive and everything we ordered came out very timely. Everything was extremely delicious, especially the churros! I also recommend ordering a classic margarita to go with the meal. I am excited to come back and try more of their menu! The atmosphere was also very fun with neon signs and a full bar as well as outdoor and indoor seating options. read more

Food is very flavorful and drinks are poured well. Service was OK, but it was also a fairly light evening when we went and there were not that many servers. Ambiance is cool. They mainly use their bar area which has high chairs, which are not the most comfortable unfortunately. read more

I really liked the ambiance and decor of this place, but I found it a little difficult to find and parking was a little far. The menu has a wide variety of things to choose from, and we decided to sample a bunch of things. The cornbread and the Brussel sprouts were my favorite! The tamales were my least favorite. We also got nachos and split the churros and apple empanadas for dessert. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails. The service was excellent. I would probably return if I were in the area and the weather was nice because there's a good chance you'll have to walk a bit to get there. There is also an outdoor patio that I think I would enjoy. read more

Met a friend for happy hour and the food was great! I love tacos and I especially love trying new ones- every one I had that day was different and delicious. (We sat at the bar) The bartender was Awesome. Only "criticism" would be that the HH margaritas were VERY small (& a little light on the tequila). My friend and I were still there once HH promos had ended and we each had another margarita and it was fabulous! I'd love to see the HH margs be the same as the "non-HH" ones. I'd rather pay more for a good margarita than less on one that's subpar. I'd certainly go again... but would love to see the "regular" margaritas as the ones used for HH (even if they aren't as cheap as the current HH ones). read more

Went yesterday, Took about 7 minutes for someone to come over and seat us. Prices are reasonable. Front of House Staff Was attentive and had good recommendations. However the food could've used some extra love..... Started off with the Chipotle Corn Bread. Had a nice crisp outside with a soft center. However the cilantro butter was rock cold so didn't melt over the corn bread. Had Chipotle in the name so was kinda expecting more of a kick of heat/ more love. 7.8/10 The arroz Moro tasted like they just opened a can of beans and threw it into some rice with all of the canned liquid. Beans should be showed love with sofrito, thyme, cilantro and soo much more. 2/10 Crispy chicken taco was literally chicken with flour and pineapples. (Chicken should be marinated and tossed in season flour) 5/10 Shrimp Tacos were 2 shrimps past over cooked with the whole container of slaw on one taco. Hard Pass 2/10 Beef Barbocoa tacos once again just needed some love to it. Meat was cooked tender and juicy but overall lacked flavor. (Would recommend adding a crema or salsa to wake it up) 6/10 Mahi mahi taco was cooked perfectly, just small protein to tortilla ratio. 7.8/10 Falafel taco was the best on the menu from the crispy Garbanzo Fritter to the tzatziki and pickled onions 9/10 wouldn't change a thing except protein to tortilla ratio. Chicken borracho taco was cooked tender and juicy. 7/10 Crispy Avocado Taco was quite surprising, first time trying a deep fried Aguacate before. Fun idea. 7/10 Yuca fries were the best thing that night. Cooked to crispy outside while still being soft and fluffy in the middle. The salsa verde tasted like blended tomatillos. Needed some lime juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeños and seasoning. House made hot sauces saved the night. I'll say overall to just add some love. Brine & marinade your meats. Use Sofrito, Mojo, cilantro, adobo, Sazon, fresh peppers, fresh herbs. And to avoid tacos from being dry/lack flavor just add drizzles to the tacos. read more

Second time coming here and this time we tried a little of everything. We ended up trying the birria thursday tacos, cooked perfectly with a nice crunch. The empanadas were delicious, I liked the chicken over the beef. But those chili nachos were out of this world, I'd go here for just the nachos and tacos! The service was fast even though it was busy she did a great job. It's pretty loud inside with the front garage door closed but super cute on the inside. Definitely more of a bar scene. But still a great place to grab a bite! read more

Yum! Great food, great service, great place! Definitely a go-to spot for us. Strongly recommend giving it a try if you haven't yet.

My cousin and I went to Tacomida for dinner on a Thursday night. The restaurant wasn't too busy and we were promptly seated at a high top near the bar. For appetizers, we ordered yucca fries, which were pipping hot and absolutely delicious. We also ordered jerk chicken empanadas, which were also extremely delicious, although I wish there would have been a bit more chicken. Lastly, we ordered the grilled corn off the cob, which was amazing as well. For dinner, we both ordered three tacos, beef, carnitas and chicken, which all had good flavor. Overall, I would recommend Tacomida. All of the waitstaff was extremely friendly and the food was great as well. read more

The portobello tostada is wonderful. The mushroom is super soft and the toppings are all so so yummy. This restaurant is super vegetarian friendly. We were able to custom make our own tacos with cauliflower/mushroom instead of meat. The baja fish taco is a 10/10. The fish is super crispy, the chipotle aioli is so so good, the cabbage adds the best crunch on top. The mushroom taco is a solid 7.5/10. It wasn't as good as the baja fish taco though. All the cauliflower tacos were a little dry, but still very good. The best, the absolute best part of the meal, were the warm, crispy, wonderful churros accompanied by dulce de leche and chocolate sauce. I would come back just for the churros. SO GOOD. The service here is also so so good. All the waitresses are super nice. We sat outside, it is the cutest little outdoor area. The lighting is great and pretty. The music is also great. I loved it here and cannot wait to come back read more

Hello, coming from NYC ! I was NOT expecting the food in this Mexican restaurant to be so over the top ! The Bacon wrapped Jalapeños were Amazing ! The tamales were bomb! But that Baja Fish !!!! That crisp when you bite into it !! Was absolutely everything !! I got their caipirinha and not going to lie I was upset when I saw it a different color but when I went to drink it, it was beyond my expectations. Everything was perfect! The server the host the service the ambiance absolutely loved this restaurant to bad I like 2.5 hours away from here. Will remember this place whenever I come back out here. 10/10 on EVERYTHING I ordered ! read more

We went around 2pm on a Saturday. It was not to packed just a few couples and the road nearby was not busy or loud. The server was nice and attentive. The food was delicious and savory. We each got the Trio taco; this option allows you to pick three different tacos on their menu and has a side of rice with plantains with sour cream. The fish taco was my favorite. The drinks were amazing, I got the mango margarita I believe, and it was great. The bathroom was clean as well and overall the vibe was nice. read more

The food was delicious. You can order small portions or larger portions. The service was fast and friendly. I would ask to sit at the tables in the side room, not at the bar because the chairs are a teeny bit uncomfortable. read more

Came here after work with my girlfriends for drinks and tacos. It was difficult to find a place to park at first but we parked under bridge and walked right up to the restaurant which was very convenient! The service was decent, nothing really special. They asked if we wanted chips and salsa but never mentioned it cost extra. For a restaurant like this I was surprised they would charge for a tiny little thing of chips and salsa. Tacos came out cold and a bit soggy, tasted decent. Yuka fries were good but the dipping sauce was pretty much just mayonnaise. The margaritas were $9.50 for a tiny glass, wasn't super impressed with that either. Overall okay, but not worth the insane prices. read more

Fun, fresh atmosphere with great service and amazing food! My husband and I went there for "date-night" and will definitely be returning. We sat at the bar; the bartender gave us quick and attentive service while making sure the other patrons got the same. Everything was delicious- the tacos had balanced flavor combinations that didn't leave you wanting, the corn was seasoned and cooked nicely, and the chips with salsa didn't disappoint-far beyond basic. They have indoor & outdoor seating so when the weather's warmer, we'll try that out. Beginning of April is still a little chilly for the patio, even with space heaters. Inside you can find tables in nooks for more privacy, or ones in the bar area if the bar isn't for you. read more

Group of friends came here to meet for happy hour. We ordered tons of stuff and shared. Happy hour service was super slow. Once happy hour was over service was better. We ordered the following: Loaded yuca fries - these were very good crispy on outside and soft in middle with a chipotle mayo sauce Chili nachos - these were supposed to have beef chili but I didn't taste one piece of beef Chicken tacos- it was seasoned chicken thigh meat but very dry and the soft taco shell was super soaked making hard to eat Beef birraco tacos- it was like pot rose in a soft taco shell even bad celery included and the sauce for dipping was a cup of beef grease Bacon wrapped jalapeños - these were good stuffed with cheese and wrapped in crispy bacon Gauc and salsa with chips - the gauc was super bland and needed tons of salt Churros - they only have three sweets to choose from and these tasted like freezer dough and some of them they forgot to roll in cinnamon and sugaR read more

I had been wanting to visit Tacomida for a while and it did not disappoint! I visited for brunch last Sunday and loved their options. The chilaquiles were delicious, the eggs and steak were perfectly cooked, and I appreciated their willingness to make me and a friend some mocktails. The tacos were amazing and left me really wanting to come back to try the rest of their menu! read more

We came here on a Saturday night. There's ample parking behind canal street. You walk in and there's open patio seating and a host waiting. You come through and the inside is well decorated and you know you come to the right place for dinner. Solid music We got six tacos-beef, pork, lamb. The mushroom is a sleeper. You got to get this. Beef chili nachos is flavorful and hits the spot. If you like hot sauce order their Diablo hot sauce. Great heat and good flavor. I appreciate they got local beer on tap and cocktails look good. I'll be back for the empanadas and tamales. Tacomida is where it's at in downtown Shelton. Good vibes good food good service. read more

I was so happy to return here this evening after not having dined here since pre-covid! My first visit was great. The service was lovely and all my food came out perfect. The only thing I didn't care for was the vegetables, they were done well, but the flavor just wasn't my favorite. Overall, that day would be a 5 star review! Tonight's visit was similar. Staff is absolutely lovely. The yucca fries are the BEST I ever had, I'm still thinking about them! I had and enjoyed the same tacos as my previous visit. The first round the chicken tacos my friend and I had were skimpy and didn't really look like chicken (I thought they may have accidentally given me pork) They were tasty though, so I ordered a second one for myself with another carnitas. This time the tacos looked incredible and the chicken taco meat looked totally different. The cocktail my friend ordered had a generous amount of alcohol and the feedback my friend gave that overall it was good, but could be better, especially in the presentation department (salted rim, garnishment, served in a cocktail/margarita glass) The one main thing that bothered me this visit was that the tables seemed dirty. My friend disagreed but then later when she went to wipe some water aside she showed me how filthy her napkin looked. All in all this is a place I'd return to again, things happen, each day is different but if they tweeked just a couple of things this would absolutely be a 5 star place to visit! read more

Great service and food. Loved the atmosphere! Must try the spicy Paloma! Can't wait to go back again.

Clean, modern look inside. Yucca fries were great, with the right amount of crunchiness. I wish they would have been paired up with a sweet fruity dipping sauce like at Bahama Breeze (chain, went to the one in Orlando), but around here it seems that restaurants usually have a aioli or crema sauce instead. We got the taco trio platter. Tacos were small, good enough in taste. The mahi mahi one was very refreshing with the pineapple bits inside. Rice and beans tasted homemade and sweet plantains were good. So, overall, good enough, but nothing that would set it apart from the expected Mexican restaurant fare. read more

New in Shelton. Dinning area inside is cramped and frankly I don't know how I'm going to get my ample butt out of this corner booth. Had beef and carnitas tacos, shrimp chalupa, all were very yummy. Very fresh and pretty to look at. A lot of flavor, if you prefer bland food you won't like this. Loud and busy. The Tacomida margarita is excellent, we each had two. The tacos are served in twos, no rice, no beans no free tortilla chips and salsa. Mexican flavors but dishes are tapas style. Well curated menu. Great for sharing. We each had one of the two types of tacos and cut up the chalupa. The barbecued beef taco was sweet, the carnitas tacos were sour and the shrimp was hot and spicy. The margaritas are sweet and sour. A lot of flavor and so fresh tasting. Service is good. The owner did a drive by. Nice old black and white photos of downtown Shelton. Bare concrete floors add to the nice along with the industrial feel. Large outdoor seating area but a bit too sunny, big garage doors and a very large bar. The music is Latino influence but funky, loud and suitable to the ambiance. read more

Came in last night for dinner with my parents. It was their first time and they loved it!! The staff was attentive and pleasant. Our server was super sweet and the manager Dana was professional and personable. The food was awesome. The street corn salad is my favorite. Everyone loved their meals.

First time here and it won't be the last. *COVID PRECAUTIONS* 10/10 Very clean, everyone masked. *FOOD* 8.5/10 APPETIZER: We had the corn which was good, but definitely small ear of corn split in half for $5. Not worth it although tasty. TACOS: we ordered the grand sampler which includes your choice of 12 tacos. We ordered the following, in order of favorite to least: 2 Lamb: delicious will order again. 2 Pork carnitas: really good will order again 2 BBQ Beef: it's not ground beef which we liked and good BBQ flavor will order again. 2 Duck: good would order again. 2 Ribeye: eh not our favorite. Had an Asian flair that I didn't love. 2 Chicken: least favorite *COCKTAILS* 10/10 Spicy Margarita= delicious and not overly sweet Gunsmoke= amazing!!! It's like a Smokey bourbon El Machete= If you like margaritas you will really like it. It's on the sweeter side but really good. *GLUTEN FREE* 10/10 Wow they really shined in this department. We are so so excited about the knowledge they had around Gluten allergy and the seriousness they took. A lot of people don't take gluten free seriously bc they think it's a fad which really hurts people who are truly allergic. The waitress recommended all GF plates and made modifications to those that were not GF. The waitress even came back to tell us one item had a little soy sauce in it and asked if we wanted to cancel it. The true test is how my fiancée feels the next day and he felt great, never got sick. This is what will absolutely keep us coming back. Great experience read more
