I went for a walk around the neighborhood and stumbled on this. I'm so happy I did! They have high protein meals and everything is so fresh. The chips and guacamole were absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to go back! read more

I ordered two burrito boxes tonight--one chicken, one steak--along with two chips. The total came to $28.16, so I know I paid for two chips. Unfortunately, my order only included one bag of chips. This is the first time I've ever had an issue here, which is why this was disappointing. I usually have a great experience and expect the order to be accurate, especially at this price point. I hope this was just an off night, but I wanted to share the feedback so it can be corrected moving forward. read more

We always love tacoria. And the Montclair location didn't disappoint The location, ambience is clean, the staff are great and the food holds to the standards. We got the chorizo and chicken bowls, chips, guac and 2 drinks. Horchata was the only one that didn't hit the spot because it was too sweet for us but the rest of the items were tasty. Bang for buck read more

Another Tacoria location under my belt! I am a Tacoria fan for sure and you will be too once you try it. Location is clean, staff is friendly, all locations have a good vibe with cool decor and a mix of Spanish and English music. Plenty of seating and light from the large windows. Food is why I keep coming back! Always fresh and flavorful. My photos show a Pollo Asado Burrito with guac. Did not disappoint. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge since it is street parking but come on by and try it! read more

After being invited to the elite event at Tacoria in Summit, I haven't been able to stop thinking about how fresh and flavorful their food is! Plans changed tonight when heading into Montclair, and we didn't have time for a sit-down dinner. I saw that there was a Tacoria and immediately, hope was restored. This location has ample seating and is clean and well stocked. After ordering, I didn't even fill up our drinks before the buzzer indicated our food was ready. The burrito box was full of their pollo asada and delicious topping, and their chips were perfectly crunchy paired with guac. Thank you, Tacoria! read more

TLDR: great food, prime location, parking can be difficult during peak hours in downtown Montclair. Very lively when it is busy and great selection of music as well. Came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy. Service was great and so was the food. You really can't go wrong with this place. Make sure you try their all their salsa, especially their habanero (orange one). read more

The grilled chicken burrito was decent. However, the portions was far smaller than its competators: Chipotle and Moss. They was also extremely cheap on the chicken inside the burrito. read more

Chuck, one of the owners, reached out after seeing my review and offered credits for me to try it again, the fact that they have such an amazing customer service is truly why I decided to come back. I ordered through the app which made it easy for me to just walk up, have no wait time, and still be able to sit down at the place to enjoy the meal. The place itself is very nice and clean, and there's enough space for it to not be crowded even when there's a lot of people. Now onto the food ... I asked Chuck for recommendations and he said the steak burrito and their guac were some of his favorites, I have to say that the steak was good and tender - not well done but also not medium, a good in between. I ordered guac in the burrito and it was also good, nothing special but also better than some I've tried. I'd give the burrito a 7.5/10. The chips, unfortunately, were not good, I'm not sure if they were stale (since I went in at 9pm) or if they're made to be very hard, either way, I was only to eat one and had to toss the rest - I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to think that it was because of how late I went. Overall, I'd come back to try the chorizo (another recommended dish by both Chuck and an employee). The customer service is really what has made me give them a 4. Truly outstanding and shows they care about listening to customers! read more

Tacoria has always been a college staple, getting us through many late nights. Portions are still amazing. But maybe, stick to the nachos. Got the chicken tinga and it's not as flavorful as we remember. Keep it simple. Grilled chicken. Nachos. None of this salad bowl stuff we tried to pull. Have been and will continue to go back. The OG NB location has our heart. Ordered: chicken tinga salad bowl + rice read more

Wanted a place for a quick delicious bite before a catfe visit! We came in for a burrito box with Pollo Asada and the best chips and guacamole ever. Seriously, I don't think I can waste calories on any other tortilla chip again! Ruined for life! Fast, fresh food, from friendly staff! read more

I'm a repeat customer but felt compelled to leave a review because of the service at the Montclair location! I ordered the steak tacos and chips and guac on the side. My meal was ready in under 5 so it's a great place for a quick bite. The steak was delicious and the onions and cilantro complimented the marinade well. Their guac is superb and on the lime-y side with a slight sweetness. Location: it's placed at the very corner and there's no parking which is inconvenience but there is seating in the front and back of the location. read more

I've always had great experiences here--service is consistently top-notch, and the staff is always so friendly and polite. As for the ambiance, this location is definitely bigger than the one in Edgewater, which makes for a more comfortable dining experience. I noticed people working on their laptops while enjoying their meals, which gives the place a nice, relaxed vibe. I ordered my go-to items, the carne asada and chicken tacos, but unfortunately, they came out cold, which was a bit disappointing. Still, the overall atmosphere and service keep me coming back! read more

This place has a nice vibe to it. if I were a teen again, this would be my meet-up spot. it's spacious with tables up the stairs in the back, cool for intimacy or planning out how to take over the world. The first time I was here I ordered tacos coming from the office and it was good. This time was cool too, but I have an opinion on how they layer the toppings, preferably the guacamole. My son ordered an al pastor burrito, and I ordered the steak burrito both with "guac". When we get home were are eating and we notice there is no guacamole. I was thinking about my next move, but because it was after a long day we kept trekking along. Once we got to the end of our burrito, we noticed that the gauc was at the very end. As a business, this can cause problems for their bottom line. We had no idea there was any guacamole in it. I suggest spreading it in evenly or putting it in the middle especially when consumers are paying for it. The service was cool; teens being teens, but they did a great job. read more

Great place to grab a delicious meal. I live the vibe as you walk in with the dark colors accented by the bright walls and the mural. Service was good. We ordered at the counter and picked up our food. It was not too loud but you could feel the energy. There is a bench up front where you could have a communal meal or sit at the counters along the wall facing the street. The back had a few tables which I thought felt private. The tacos were flavorful and authentic. I'm definitely coming back for more. read more

This store is in a good location, and although it looks small when you walk in there is a decent amount of seating towards the back. The ambiance is nice and chill overall. I loved that they are very intentional about the vegan menu and the difference between vegan and vegetarian options. The menu has a wide variety of items! We had the rajas burrito with brown rice, two carne asada tacos, two pollo tinga tacos, a side of golden avocado and street corn. The food was ready very fast and was hot, however, I think every item could have been more flavorful. For me, it was a 3 star experience because I didn't love the food. But perhaps this location is a better option for someone limiting their salt intake. Service was fast, friendly and helpful. There is metered street parking. read more

This is my first time trying tacoria and the carne Asada was so tender and both the Al pastor and carne was so flavorful, you can't go wrong with going either one. The highlight of this was the Mexican street corn, it was so good! The sauce with the cojita cheese combined so well with the crunchy corn. The guava basil drink was refreshing. The workers were really nice, food came out really fast. The ambiance was well decorated, in the back they had a lot of different sauces, best part was they also had a couple of homemade sauces to try! read more

Ok I finally tried this spot again and noticed that you have to order salsas as none of the items come with them. This time, I went with the chicken tinga burrito. Tell me why, in my haste, I accidentally ordered 3 of them. They were doing a BOGO on them and I didn't even realize I accidentally added it three times and didn't pay attention to my cart even when I though it was a bit pricey. But alas, that's a me problem. I tried 3 different salsas and thought the mango habanero was easily the best one. Just the right amount of tanginess and spiciness. The salsa roja was missing the tang and the salsa verde was too tangy...combining them was actually not bad. Overall, solid place but not a fan of the salsa policy. Maybe it's different in-store but whatever. read more

We had a really great experience here. One of our dishes took about 10 extra minutes, and the staff apologized and brought us nachos while we waited, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It made the wait feel much shorter and more enjoyable. The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. read more

Stopped in here yesterday for a quick bite while walking Bloomfield Avenue. The service was quick, attentive, and helpful. Seating was ample, ranging from the countertop near the window on Bloomfield Ave to the upper loft area. The food was wonderful this visit. Chorizo tacos, Al pastor tacos, and quesadilla were all flavorful and packed with food. The habanero sauce from the salsa bar was excellent, as well. Prices were very fair for the amount of food we received. Restaurant was clean and well-kept. The decor in the loft area with the wall made out of books and designed into a sugar skull was super cool. We were impressed and will be back. read more

Overall great food, and always clean and comfortable when eating in. I've been going here (and to other locations) for years, and usually have a good experience. However the new staff really needs to learn the POS system. I have gone in several times and had new staff try to tell me that things like adding another sauce, or pico are impossible to add to my order. Usually a more experienced employee will step in and point out the right button to press in order to put the addition in a burrito, but if I'm not lucky enough to have that occur the new or seasonal hires will insist that they have never done that and seem baffled when i try to explain that it's been done dozens of times before. I don't mind waiting an extra 30 seconds for my order to be placed, and it would probably be helpful for the employees to learn how to make an adjustment to an order. I can imagine this being a problem especially if you have an allergy or something and need to make small adjustments to the contents of your burrito. If it were not for this reoccurring issue I would without a doubt rate this restaurant higher. read more

Normally a very solid place, but was disappointed with their burritos today. Ordered the chicken burrito with rojas add in...the burrito was mostly just black beans and corn, with very little chicken. Not ideal. read more

I don't frequency write reviews but I have to say Shay (I hope I'm spelling her name right) was so beyond kind to me and my cousin tonight. There was a mess up on our orders and the staff was very apologetic and remade our orders right away. I have been vegetarian since I was 10 years old so eating meat accidentally is a big fear for me. My burrito was made correctly but there was some confusion on the orders so they were not sure at first which really scared me as I had already finished half my burrito. Not only did they make me an entire new one for free they also gave us free dessert and took time to empathize even though I did not in fact eat meat. Will definitely come again. They keep it very clean here as well and are all so kind! read more

I usually have a high tolerance for spicy, but do not sleep on their spicy chorizo tacos, they sure do have a kick! I love me a good al pastor taco, and they did not disappoint, but the street corn and agua fresca basil watermelon was my top favorites. The nachos were ok, but it could have used some tomatoes and more cream sauce, and not the huge cut up peppers and carrots? Not sure why that was in there and not tomatoes, but to each their own. The disorganization of it all was what struck me, at first, there's a bunch of servers but no actual table service, you have to order your food, take a lighted disk, pick your seat, and wait for your disk to start buzzing to go pick up your food. I had to be told "this is a very casual place", because I was genuinely confused. Once I checked in on Yelp, I was given the free sprouts taco or street corn voucher, but they no longer have the sprouts taco just the street corn, which I was also fine with, but the delay and hesitation to honor it was also unnecessary. I just feel like for a casual place, they could be more hospitable. Maybe offering to find a seat or some kind of direction would be nice when you walk in, and not just assuming we know this is a "very casual" place and you have to do things on your own. When you walk in it doesn't look like a Chipotle, so don't treat it as such. However, I did have like three refills on the basil watermelon agua fresca, and I'm not sure if it was allowed, but again no indication of, so... I'd go back just for that because it was delicious! read more

Okay the food is good, well seasoned and fresh. The service was insulting. I always go on the weekend with my daughter. Spend about $40 on food and drinks. Why did they follow us around? I'm a tanned skin Puerto Rican woman. As soon as we got our food and went to the back to sit. Where other (white) people were sitting. It was on apparently ON. The cashier came back to check if everything was ok? As I was biting down in my taco. Another woman came up the stairs just to stand and watch. They kept going back and forth. Then when we got up and I was tossing my food. Like a good customer & placing our trays. As I turned around I could see the main guy/mgr maybe. Standing in the center watching us. He quickly jumped back when I saw him and pretended to shuffle menus. Are you kidding me?!!! There were two other mother daughter customers sitting but they were white. Shame on all of them today!!! read more

Nachos pollo tinga for two. More like 4. I enjoyed enough to place me in a mild food coma. Large scoops of guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, pickled Jalapeño cut in halves. Shredded chicken well seasoned. Nice size tortilla chips. Large enough to get all the toppings on one chip. Delivered read more

Came here right before a show for a quick bite. Couldn't be any more conveniently situated to the theater. Great alternative to fast food when you're on the go, healthy and must think of being careful of various ingredients. Our tacos were very good. Fresh ingredients and lots of them. Place is clean, well taken care of, eclectic and inviting to all. For what it is, it works. Try it out! read more

Tacoria is amazing, food and service alike! Someone in our family has a dairy allergy and so we marked 2 of the dishes dairy free in our online delivery order. The restaurant packed those dishes in a separate bag marked "Dairy Free", and even wrote "contains dairy" on the other bag. Whoever did this, thanks for being awesome! read more

Quick parking in the area in a weekday afternoon. Fast service for decent quick food, we had the pollo asado burritos with guac and chips on the side. Guac could've use some salt but overall decent food and burritos, towards the end of my burrito there was a ton of beans only. 2 burritos, 2 drinks and chips & guac for about $30. We love the ambiance but don't love the seating in the back with wasn't too comfortable as the adjustable stool style chairs keeps wiggling therefore you'd have to keep a balance/ hold yourself upright which was uncomfortable to me but decor and all are great. In the front by the drinks is a diy salsa bar where you can take containers of salsa with your meal. Horchata is one of my fave drinks here but all the cooler drinks are yummy; limonada and guava Basil read more

I came by this location for my yelp swag bag since I won a yelpie this year. The staff was so friendly here! I got a free meal as a part of the swag, and I chose 3 tacos. I also checked in on yelp to get the free elote. My husband got a carne asada burrito. We both got horchata to drink and the staff gave us one of them for free that night! I have already been to the JC location so I was looking forward to the food. I love their horchata and elote - a must get every time. During covid they were not allowing indoor dining, so the hot sauce bar was closed but they gave each of us a cup of every sauce they have (5 different sauces!). Our favorite was the creamy one which has a smoky flavor and is less spicy than the others. Speaking of spice - they were not kidding about the spicy chorizo! Decided to eat on the car ride home so they were still hot. The first taco I had was the al pastor, pretty tasty. Then I had the spicy chorizo - the taste and texture I liked but man was it hot, I didn't have enough horchata and the heat LINGERED. I thought I was going to die, just recovered from a gastritis issue. Unfortunately the corn taco I couldn't really taste because my mouth was still on fire from the chorizo. I was also trying to use some of the salsas...which I ended up using on homemade tacos because I couldn't take any more heat that night after that. They're all really good and different from one another. I wouldn't get the chorizo from here again, just too hot for me! read more

Hungry and late, I decide to try à new eatery via delivery (UberEats). I order the Box-Beyond Tacorizo (Vegan) which I feel is a good meal as is though (now that I know) à meal to more so consider if I already have tacos, wraps, etc. wherever I'm about to eat. The ingredients taste good together (I prefer them with a wrapping of a sort) though the art on the bag are the standout portions of the order to me. The meal travels well (tasty after about forty minutes). read more
