Saturday 1/24/26- Yelp week event. It was cold and parking was -- typical of the area but I was determined to have tacos here. I brought Mini-Mi as my p+1 and hubby was our chauffer lol. First, staff is super -super nice!! helpful when trying to decide what to order. Mini Me and I both chose three tacos carne asada with the smokey roja sauce. Hubby had the same but as a burrito. For the sides we had chips and guacamole and the Mexican street corn. Drink were Horchata (Obviously). Tacos and burrito were stuffed, and absolutely delish. They have a self serve salsa bar with the three salsa, the smokey roja, salsa verde and habanero. Let me just say I tried all three- fantastic heat to flavour ration and I poured the habanero on my tacos so good! in fact the smokey roja with the salsa verde is a great combination !! Seating area outside is much larger than inside, we sat inside at a table that had just become available- they do a super brisk take out business and we didn't wait very long for our food to be ready. In fact, my husband and Mini-Me - all three of us, agreed we would for sure make the drive again to have tacos here!! If you are in the area or at school near by- you have to come here at least once, to try the food. I paid for my hubby since he was not my +1 and his meal was about $16. so that in itself is very very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We were very pleased with the food, service and price point. read more

Ever since I was introduced to Tacoria's Paramus location via a Yelp Elite event, I've been a big fan of their grilled chicken burrito. After a recent swim meet at Rutgers, I brought my kids. One is a big fan of tacos, while the other is more about quesadillas. The chicken tacos were a touch spicy for my kid, who is very sensitive to heat, and my habanero-flavored chicken burrito was brilliantly seasoned. (I love the heat!) All three of us were more than happy with our meals, which we enjoyed out on the back patio area, which had as much ambiance as an eatery in Mexico City. Very cool! The service was pleasant and quick. Now I'm looking forward to their next nearby swim meet so I can bring them here for lunch! read more

tacoria - New Brunswick - Burrito box BOX - CARNE ASADA - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

You can never go wrong with comfort food! Burritos are definitely in my top choice of comfort food and I had the privilege of visiting Tacoria and it's grand opening week! Make sure you come at a time that parking is not busy, it was difficult to find parking, but is the food made it worth it in my opinion. My favorite part of any Mexican food restaurant is the sauce bar and Tacoria definitely did it justice. There were so many options to choice from both in your food and on the side. The outside and inside of the location look very trendy! Perfect for the cute Instagram pictures or just fun with friends. I got a cocoa on the side, in a glass bottle which always makes it better. But as I was leaving I saw they had Mexican Coke! I will definitely be back to try that as well. The chips were fresh, hot, and crispy. Amazing pairing to the endless sauces provide! The stuff was helpful and cheerful especially for coming on a Monday afternoon which I appreciate. The one thing I recommend for the business is to just add a little bit more meat in your meals, the rice was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I would have just like a bit more of the beef taste. I will definitely be back with friends! read more

GOLDEN. AVOCADO. I don't know who you are, but whoever the inventor of this, I would like to thank you. For those unfamiliar, the golden avocado (if I am not mistaken can be replaced with any meat) is a fried avocado with chipotle aioli. WOW. Gorgeous, stunning, perfection. Also the Mexican Street Corn was amazing, I am the 10% of people that taste soap when they taste cilantro so I had to pick it off but it was amazing!! read more

I work at Rutgers New Brunswick and honestly this is my favorite place to get lunch. The tacos are awesome, I've gotten the salad before, and even the brussels sprouts are totally worth getting! I'm actually drooling thinking about it right now lol. I have always ordered to-go so I've never stayed but the place is very cute. I like to order ahead and pick up since it gets busy sometimes. read more

Tacoria is 5 in my book. Better than any of the other chain Mexican (Qdoba, Chipotle, etc) the food always tastes soooo fresh and made in house. Not shipping frozen on a truck. Their flavors are hands down the best. I am never disappointed anytime I go. read more

tacoria - New Brunswick - Carne Asada bowl. - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Ate too quickly to remember to take food photos but everything was delicious. I love that there are so many vegetarian options. When you first walk in it looks really small and crowded because the counter to order is right in front of the door. But, if you go further back there is a whole atrium area that gives you the feeling of being outside. It was like having dinner in a Tardis! read more

Very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere and sitting area. Definitely a cool place to stop by with delicious food. The Tacos were great and I definitely look forward to going back. Lots of IG photo friendly areas to get in great pics of your delicious day out! read more

tacoria - New Brunswick - Tacos al pastor - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

The horchata was delicious ands that's all. Maybe I'm just not a fan of their style of food, like their sauce for the nachos or the texture and burnt edges of their tortilla chips. Tacos were basic. The self-serve utensils and sauces and such were adequate and the back area was nice enough, but with all the competition out there, this place having such high reviews is surprising. read more

I tried it once and I liked it. No complaints, Tacos is awesome! I absolutely love them! and have always been happy with the quality of food, service, and price. Will stop again when in area. Love them read more

I was craving tacos after my road trip, so I decided to get takeout. Super easy and convenient online ordering portal and short pickup time. It took me longer than I wanted to find parking (street), but my order was bagged and ready to go when I walked up. It is a small shop with the to go orders ready to go at the front. These tacos were super flavorful, juicy, and overall delicious! The pollo tinga has a little kick to it, and the pineapple on top of the Al pastor adds just the right amount of sweetness. The tacos might seem small, but the portion of meat is very generous. I will be back to try other menu items! read more

tacoria - New Brunswick - Taco - Pollo Tinga, Taco - Al Pastor, Taco - Carne Asada - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

TLDR: A pretty consistent spot similar to Chipotle but at least a few steps better. I'll continue getting the nachos and bowls when Im in the area. My girlfriend and I shared the full order of the carne asada nachos. The dish is loaded with layers of melted cheese, crema, mole, tender chunks of beef, beans, fat slices of jalapeño, and strangely enough carrots. Two points set these nachos apart for me: the toppings are layered, and the chips are fried extra crisp - they hold up against the toppings! This was a great meal to share. Ive tried a number of other items as well. Most of the foods are similar to chipotle, but slightly better quality. It is a little more expensive though. Tip: in the New Brunswick spot the back of the restaurant opens up into a fun greenhouse-like seating area read more

Great contemporary Mexican w/ authentic roots in an attractive space combining a beautiful outdoor seating area in the back in my old neck of woods, New Brunswick! I was lucky to have stumbled upon a Tacoria on my recent visit to NB - I loved the al pastor burrito - full of juicy meat and their side guac is a must in my opinion to accompany it because it adds that fresco factor to this otherwise bit dry fare. The notes of pineapple in the al pastor was well noted, and the guac was super fresh & tasty. Only thing I did wish for was for them to put a bit less rice because towards the edge, that's all there was. (thus deducting a star) They have array of salsas up front with to-go sauce cups for your dining convenience so I tried their most popular - habanero, and it was a BURST of spicy kick and flavor which I loved. One point I must mention that begs you to come in is their outdoor seating. It's generously-sized with several wooden picnic tables & benches for spacious dining experience and the open root with birds chirping and even a fountain in the front really added to my enjoyment. They even have a washing basin with dryer on the way out which just shows you their thoughtfulness in putting this location together, as eating Mexican can often get messy! I enjoyed their food up in Paramus location two years ago, and this location further cements their reputation as an above-chipotle fare that is reasonably priced and the locations always tastefully decorated. I'll try their tacos and the nachos next time. Keep up the great work! read more

YUM. One of the better burrito's I've had in a while! I had the corn and a steak burrito. The corn was fresh, not too overcooked, and flavored well. The Spicy Aioli that was on it could've been a bit more spicy, but had great flavor. For the burrito, I enjoyed the fact that they used a flavored mexican rice vs. plain white/brown rice. It really gave the burrito more flavor overall. The steak was perfectly cooked and tender, and their guac was also well flavored. I also liked that they grilled the burrito as it added a nice texture. Their chips are the thicker deep fried chips which aren't usually my favorite, as they tend to be greasier. read more

I had a really pleasant experience at the Piscataway location, and this one didn't disappoint. The staff was really kind and the service was quick. The food was very filling.

tacoria - New Brunswick - Golden Avocado (VEGAN) burrito - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Tacoria has been one of my favorite spots in the Rutgers area since I was a freshman. The golden avocado burrito is my all-time FAVORITE. I have also tried the al pastor burrito, as well as the pollo asado burrito, and they also hit. Not to mention, the outdoor seating is SO. COOL. There is outdoor seating in the back that include tables and benches great for both small and medium-sized groups. (I've never had to wait for a table.) The space includes plants and swings (!!) and a whole sink. OH and the coolest part? The roof opens up during the summer. I highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting the Rutgers area. read more

Great fast casual Mexican place in town with fresh ingredients. Can't always guarantee there will be space to sit so probably best if you get it to go. I got their salad and love their little pineapple sauce dressing of sorts, so unique and refreshing. Also, you wouldn't believe it but the Brussels sprouts are to die for. Overall, great quick lunch place for a filling meal and a great Princeton staple! read more

Solid food every time. Quick service and fast delivery. I usually eat here when I'm ordering from work and I haven't been disappointed.

Great food and price. I go to for delivery for me and my family, especially on a weeknight!

Tacoria has been one of my highlighted places for great Tex-Mex food. Located on the popular busy main strip on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick, I fretted about finding parking. I couldn't have been more wrong as I found metered street parking.  No worries about not having a pocketful of change.  The meters are linked to the Parkmobile app.  A quick download from the App store and some fumbling with creating an account, I was on my way to Tacoria. This awesome app even alerted me when I had 10 minutes remaining on the meter and gave you the option of extending your metered time. Inside, Tacoria is cozy but utterly charming. Practicing social distancing can be a challenge but staff will direct a potential crowd situation to wait outside. They have a menu hanging down from the ceiling and if you still can't decide on what to order, the cashiers are exceptionally friendly in making some suggestions. After ordering, they will hand you a hand-held device which vibrates when your order is ready.  You can choose to either wait outside or view your order being created in the open kitchen, provided crowds are at a minimum.  I elected to watch my order being created since nobody was nearby. During COVID times, the line-chefs were gloved and properly masked and all staff were properly masked. My order was for both a burrito and burrito box, and were made fairly quickly. As I watched them making the food, I noticed the team had a great rhythm, both efficient and effective, at getting the orders built and packaged.  As I watched my order being built, I noticed the freshness of the rice, beans, Spanish rice and chicken. Juices were dripping from the chicken as it was loaded atop of the base layers. Made in-house, I asked for extra habanero sauce which is made fresh daily. The portions are huge and are easily shareable. Seating is not available at this time, nor is the usage of the restrooms. Due to the pandemic, takeout is the only option. They honor both charge and cash. The items are packed neatly and securely. Surviving a 40 minute ride, everything was intact just as it was at the eatery. I wish I can say that for all the take out foods we have gotten from other eateries. The food was AMAZING, even after enduring the commute home.  If the food tastes this good after traveling for 40 minutes, can you imagine how delicious it will be if it's eaten at the place? I'm drooling just thinking about it. I'm counting the days until dine-in is allowed again. Until then, take-out it is!! I can't wait to be back as I fell in love with this place! read more

A MUST TRY spot if you're ever in the Rutgers/New Brunswick area. From the delicious food to the gorgeous patio views, Tacoria is a local favorite!! I've been coming here at least every few months to satisfy my cravings for Mexican food and the quality has only gone up! My absolute favorite protein choice is the Pollo Tinga -- perfect if you love spicy food! But any of their proteins (including the Chorizo, Pollo Asado, and Carne Asada) are great options. Their food is so filling and worth the price! I usually get the Mission-Style Burrito, which is the biggest burrito you will ever see! They stuff the burrito full of fresh, delicious ingredients and I'm able to use it for two meals. If you're looking for something easier to eat, they also have a Burrito Box option! Their Hand Crafted Tacos and Quesadilla Suiza are also so tasty. But one of my favorite dishes is the Viva La Nachos! The nachos are so crispy and perfect for scooping the chicken, cheese, and peppers. If you want to split the nachos with some friends, get the full size for $13 and it will be more than enough! Tacoria also has VEGAN options, a kids menu, and Nutella Nachos! I haven't tried these yet but will definitely do so when I'm looking to try something new. And if you're thirsty, try the any of their Jarritos flavors!! Tacoria also had several salsas to choose from, made delicious & fresh. Not available right now, but I hope they bring these back soon! Only take-out at the moment. Fast service! read more

tacoria - New Brunswick - Viva La Nachos with Pollo Tinga ($7 Pie) - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

I love coming to Tacoria because they have the best tacos and quesadillas. When Rutgers was open I'd come with a couple of friends after class to grab something to eat. The line can get pretty long sometimes because the tacos are so good but it move pretty quickly. Before COVID, they had indoor dining at the back of the restaurant which is a heated garden and it's super cute for pictures. They also have cute swings to take pictures by. The also have indoor dining inside the restaurant but it's right by the bathrooms. I do recommend trying all of their sauces on the tacos because they are homemade and tastes so good when dipped with tacos. I also recommend trying their drinks but they can be a bit expensive. Overall, the price of the tacos are decent but they are packed with protein. I also recommend trying the fried avocados because it's is so good. read more

We decided to use Tacoria to cater our daughter's graduation party. The food was delicious - so many people commented on how good it was. Talia from the New Brunswick location was amazing! She helped me get the best deal and was super helpful with making sure I had what I needed. Would absolutely recommend them and would definitely use them again for another party!! read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Tacoria is a quick walk from the hospital and a popular lunch spot so you'll likely have to wait in line around then. The line moves quickly though and your food comes out quickly as well! I tried the pulled chicken tacos which, were incredibly flavorful with lots of garlic and lime. Guac is a must add. I also appreciate that the tortilla isn't doubled and not super thick. Can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu! read more

I was in town for work and one of the locals recommended this place. I am SO GLAD I listened and came here. It was really good! I got the burrito bowl and some carne asada tacos. I also got some chips and pico de gallo. The tacos were really good and so was the burrito bowl. The chips were very thick and kind of unpleasant to eat. The pico de gallo was good but more of a fine dice than I'm used to. I honestly was not expecting to find such good fast food tex mex. I'd come here again if I'm ever in the area. read more

I have passed by and wondered why there were long lines outside this place. I found out why. They have great tacos. Stopped by with my daughter after getting her from the train. Got the Carne Asada taco and the beyond Tacorizo (vegan). They were both delicious. She got the burrito and loved it. And they had grapefruit soda. Nothing fancy. Except the food. Employees were all nice. Highly recommended read more

Well... this place has a fantastic Golden Avocados (fired and breaded avocados) that are perfect and delicious replacement for meats. And they elote (corn) is amazing. My lady did have the carne asada and Al pastor tacos which she loved. I few months ago when I couldn't resist, I did have the nachos and they were good! The ambiance: very relaxed, hip place and I really anyone can be a chef or cook, but there are actual latinos making the food.. it's just an extra cherry on top read more

The wait line during rush hour, quantity, and prices do not justify the hype this place gets! Went to Tacoria with a friend for dinner around 7:45 and we waited 20 minutes just to get our order, which for me was just one taco! They seemed to prioritize delivery orders and despite it being rush hour, I was frustrated how long I had to wait for my order. Each taco is $4, which for the quality and taste wasn't worth it. However, even for a small taco, there were a lot of chicken pieces, which I appreciated! The cilantro and cotija cheese tasted delicious together. Once you go inside the restaurant, there's a beautiful backdrop, gardeny type of vibes so it's nice to sit there, talk with friends, and eat. Ordered: October 11, 2022 via Dining-In read more

If you're in the central Jersey area and craving some amazinnnng mexican food, make sure you stop by tacoria! From the outside you might think its a little hole in the wall kind of location - and the inside seating is pretty small- but they have a BEAUTIFUL patio in the back that they've revamped over the years. They've got table/benches type seating, and they're all in different pastel colors. They've got some bench swings in the back that offer a trendy vibe. There's a mirror with some wording on it and a clean sink for you to wash your hands. I absolutely love that the patio is covered, has fans, gives a great amount of light still and has beautiful greenery. I got a smaller plate or a "pie" as they call it of the nachos- so DELICIOUS. The chips are a little thicker than normal. You can tell they are freshly made. They literally taste like little fried tortillas -- these are literally my favorite kind of chips EVER. The pie size is enough to completely fill one person, maybe have some left over too depending on how hungry you are. The nachos are Hand Cut Tortillas topped with Black Beans, Protein (I chose the fried avocado), Salsa, Cheese, Crema and Escabeche Pepper (which add a good kick without being too spicy). The crema is tangy and ever so slightly spicy and it was the perfect addition to the nachos. This came out to $8 for me, which is pretty affordable and reasonable for the portion size. The Quesadilla is also amazing! Its basically like a burrito, but they make it crispy and hot on the sides. The quesadilla has Protein (which I usually get the fried avocado for), Cheese, Salsa, Crema in a Flour Tortilla. The price for this is $8.25. The best part is the house made sauces that are available. There are 4 different flavors - habanero (which was the hottest), a mild, medium and a roasted sauce too. I recommend grabbing them all! They have tiny plastic containers that you can add these sauces too and take back to your table. Also, once you order at the register, they give you a little light up device that tells you when your food is ready! I love being able to sit and chat as I wait for my food. Usually, it never takes too long. I love how fast the service is and everyone who works there is super nice. They've got a bunch of different drinks that are made in house as well, make sure you give them a try if you're in the mood! The only challenge is parking - its pretty limited so I'd leave a few extra minutes to find it. Honestly, writing this review made me pretty hungry so I might hop back out and get some tacoria right now! Hope I've convinced you to give this place a try because its totally worth it! read more

Ok, visiting in the area and came back the second night. Burrito with Brussel sprouts was outstanding. I also got the street corn. If I was still in the area tomorrow I'd come back again. Such good veggie options and the flavor is just great, totally hits the comfort food spot. Ordered ahead and it was all ready to go. Figured out places I could park in the area - there is two hour parking around the corner which is a short walk. read more

This food was brought in for a lunch at the office. They had a nice spread and I was able to try several different tacos that are below. There was a bunch of toppings for the tacos including onions, cilantro, salsa, Cotija cheese, and crema. There were all corn tortillas. Taco - Carne Asada - This consisted of a spice marinated grilled steak. The steak was good, very tender and seasoned nicely. Taco - Brussels Sprouts - The Brussel sprouts were charred and tossed in a chipotle sauce. This was tasty too. The Brussel sprouts were cooked to my liking. Taco - Al Pastor? - I believe this was one of the tacos. It was pork marinated in spices and pineapples. I did not really taste pineapple so I am not sure this was one, but it was good regardless, plenty of flavor in the pork. Taco - Pollo Asado? - Again, not sure this was it, but this consisted of citrus grilled chicken. Again, another appetizing taco. Mexican Street Corn - This was smothered with chipotle aioli and topped with cilantro and Cotija cheese. This was excellent. The corn had a slight char to it which made for an appetizing side dish to the tacos. Will I go back? I did not attend, but would head there. read more
