    Extremely friend staff to start, have to make mention because the dude at the register was very helpful and patient for this to be my first experience here. The ambiance is hella cool and trendy, from the wall deco and all of the small details, definitely don't feel like I'm in Piscataway right now. The food was extremely fresh and vibrant against my taste buds. Definitely put chipotle to bed. Although it's a chain it tasted pretty authentic. I'd def return and suggest to others.

    Love the burrito box and burrito! Its a hearty meal in itself. Polo tinga is my favorite and their agua frescas are always refreshing!

    Delicious and fast service. The sauces are amazing! I got the box this time, it was nice to keep my hands clean. The parking lot is pretty easy to navigate (unlike the NB location where this is no parking). Flavor profile could be a little bolder, but maybe that's why they have a lot of sauces. Nice staff.

    This place is always such a great casual eats spot. My only thing with it is that they use fattty pieces of chicken sometimes, which most places do! I just got a bit unlucky this time by ordering the pollo pastor because the chicken was a little overdone too so I got burnt pieces along with the fatty :/ but go with the shredded chicken!! It's a much better option. I loveeee the drink options so much and their little salsa bar area which is self serve. Overall a 4/5 for the chicken but if u like steak, pork and Brussel sprouts for a non meat eater, they have a ton of options!

    I loved the vegan options and the fact they have various drink options. Restaurant has easy parking in a strip mall. Will say the portions of the food aren't matching up to the price points

    Love the whole vibe inside, very nice. Friendly service. Was greeted as soon as I walked in. The food was delicious. Had a variety of hot sauces and housemade hot sauces. I got a little bit of everything to try. Their agua fresca were also really good. I love the lime one.

    Tacoria: A Cozy Little Flavor Fiesta on Centennial Ave! Okay, let's taco 'bout a place that's stolen a little piece of my foodie heart--Tacoria on Centennial Ave! Like all Tacorias, this one is just gorgeously decked out on the inside. Think colorful murals, fun lighting, and that signature funky, artsy vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped into a trendy taco haven with serious personality. It's snuggled into a tiny strip mall, and yep, parking is a bit of a tight squeeze--consider it part of the charm (and a mini warm-up before the feast). If you're lucky, you'll snag a spot out front; if not, embrace the parking-lot shuffle--it's worth it, I promise. Now, let's rewind for a sec--they used to have a self-serve kiosk! Remember those? The touchscreen ordering magic where you'd feel like a tech-savvy taco connoisseur? Sadly, that's gone now, and we're back to good ol' face-to-face ordering. But hey, sometimes it's nice to have a human ask you how spicy you want it, right? As for my go-to order? I'm a loyal, ride-or-die fan of their Golden Avocado Quesadillas. These babies are crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and stuffed with golden-fried avocado that's basically a hug in food form. Pair it with their sweet, cinnamony Horchata, and you've got yourself a dreamy little meal that tastes like a fiesta in your mouth. Now listen, I'll keep it real--Tacoria's usually on point, but there was this one time (cue dramatic music) when the Horchata had gone rogue. It had definitely turned, and no one caught it until I took a sip and gave them the heads up. Crisis averted--but I still love them, and I chalk it up to a rare hiccup in an otherwise flawless relationship. All in all, this spot is a must-stop for me whenever I'm in the area. Fast, tasty, and packed with flavor and good vibes. I'll be back again and again--preferably with a quesadilla in one hand and a (fresh!) Horchata in the other.

    The food here is solid and definitely worth a try. I have no idea how authentic it is, as I have the impression that most people who talk about authentic Mexican food just has a favorite spot in Cali and uses that as their basis for authentic Mexican food, but the food here is tasty regardless. The Mexican street corn is good, the tacos are great, and the burrito is okay. The horchata is fantastic! Only thing that's not perfect for me is their burrito. Maybe it's too authentic for me, but it's just a lot of rice, like a ton of rice, with a tiny bit of beans and protein, and a dab of sour cream and sauce of your choice. It could definitely use more meat, although to be fair the quality was excellent, and I wouldn't mind some more veggies in there, even if it's like just lettuce and corn. And personally, I'd really love some cheese. If I come back, I'll probably stick to their tacos or try their quesadilla.

    Fantastic food! The ambiance is very trendy feeling like I walked into a Mexican restaurant on the west coast. The young girl who took my order was very polite and helpful with my questions about the food. I waited less than 5 minutes for my order to come out. I will be returning. 10/10 service!

    PROs - food , service , pricing CONs- hidden gem. Doesn't look like a big restaurant from outside . It's surely a hidden gym . If you pass by this restaurant you will not realize that it is a Mexican restaurant . Wish they had better exteriors . Interiors are awesome . Loved the atmosphere inside . Lots of tables inside to sit and eat. Parking is good outside . Service was good . Loved the smiling guys who helped and did quick work . Ordered a burrito and it was awesome .. it was actually stuffed with so much rice/bean and other stuff. After eating half of burrito , I was almost stomach-full. I specially liked their home made sauces. They had 4 types of sauces and I loved them all. I also had a fried avacado small eats . It was different .. never had it before . With those sauces it tasted good .. Came to this restaurant with yelp recommendations .. I should say , I liked it and will go back again..

    Ordered the Quesadilla - Steak and SALAD - RAJAS (VEGGIE) which were phenomenal. Ordered at the counter using the self-serve kiosk. Grab a buzzer and wait for your dine-in or take-out order. Service was quick and friendly! There are multiple tables with bench seating. Interior design is fun and super creative. Lots of art and plants all around. Com

    Stopped in here with Wifey and my son and had an absolutely delicious lunch. It's a little odd ordering here, but you order up front like it's a fast food place (it's not) and they bring your food back to you. The front area is pretty tight but the back seating area is really open and bright. We kind of all shared each others meals, but we got a chicken quesadilla, a grilled chicken burrito box and a Tinga Burrito. Food was outstanding and their hot sauces are amazingly flavorful. My son graduates soon so maybe I'll make an excuse to drop by campus and take him out to lunch here again.

    Box - Steak
    Karen L.

    The BEST fast-casual Mexican spot, by far. Imagine Chipotle but with way better ingredients, bigger portions, and better flavors. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, I usually go with a burrito box and add golden avocado with a side of street corn. They have really nice staff, one time they forgot to add guac on my friend's order and gave her a side of guac and chips to make up for it. They also sell bottled water in store and this sounds crazy but it's really good water. I think there's electrolytes in it and it comes in a fancy metal bottle. If you order delivery from here, things are always packaged well, and because portions are big, there's a good chance you'll have leftovers. Yum!

The music was some kind of bizarre Latin hip-hop (the best way I can explain it). And it was extremely loud. I commented to the server that this might be the reason the place was empty.

I could not decide on a favorite. We also shared birria fries, which were AWESOME! If I ever return... you know the rest lol. The meat was juicy, flavorful and melted in my mouth. The marinaded chicken and beef were succulent and the flavors subtly stood out. We also ordered a steak burrito, which was Cali-style with fries instead of rice.

The tables are limited. I would definitely go back to try some different tacos and for those delicious mocktails.

My little guy enjoyed his burrito as well, especially because it was garnished with jalapenos - which he loves! The style of burritos they make is not what I'm accustomed to. I recommend that they be eaten by fork and knife. You can try to eat one by hand if you don't mind making a juicy mess up things. Everything tasted great, the ingredients were fresh, so all in all my lunch was a good value for the price. I could have easily paid $10-$14 for the same burrito elsewhere.
