Tacoria in Princeton was such a great experience for my family and me. We arrived before their 11:30 a.m. opening, and instead of feeling rushed or brushed off, we were treated so kindly by the staff. They were welcoming, patient, and genuinely pleasant, which immediately made us feel comfortable. We ordered quite a bit of food, and everything came out fairly quickly. The cheese quesadillas and the chorizo quesadilla were delicious, and the sides really stood out. The street corn and golden avocado were full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Every item we tried was really good :-) - even my 3 year old daughter ate and she's very picky! The drinks did not disappoint. The horchata was excellent, so good that I had to go back for seconds. That alone says a lot. Between the great food and the exceptional service, I highly recommend the Princeton Tacoria location. Everyone was so nice to us, and it made the entire experience even better. I will definitely be going back. read more

This place was hopping and it's clearly very popular with the locals for a reason. We tried a trio of the tacos and a Carne Asada salad. My salad was exactly what I was jonesing for and the lime salad dressing was perfect. I would say don't forget the Agua Fresca. The lime is super yummy. My teen devoured his tacos and refused to share. But from his reaction, I would say they were pretty darn good. We also always look for a place that is gluten-free due to celiac. We did have to talk to a more experienced person at the counter, but they were able to explain that They put down aluminum foil on the grill so that our corn tortillas don't get crossed contaminated by the flour tortillas. And the meat is made only on a grill with meat so you don't have to worry about cross-contamination there. We ate safely, but if you do go, just make sure you advocate for yourself and they will accommodate you. read more

Tacoria in Princeton never lets their customers down. We ordered the chicken bowl, the steak bowl, plus guacamole with chips and pico with chips. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. What truly set this visit apart was how seriously they take gluten allergies. The staff was proactive and thorough, changing gloves, using clean utensils, and preparing food in a separate area to prevent cross-contamination. It made the experience completely stress-free. Special recognition goes to Keyla, who took our order. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful with walking us through the menu to ensure safe choices. Her service genuinely elevated the experience. Great food, thoughtful service, and a place you can actually trust if you're gluten-free. Will absolutely be back. read more

We came here Saturday night for a quick bite. This place is always so packed and finding a seat is nearly impossible. I got the nachos for dinner with the pollo asado but it wasn't like I remembered the first time I had it. The nachos were super drenched and soggy. I'm guessing it was just a busy night but hoping next time, it will be much better. read more

Staff here were incredibly friendly and kind. They even checked up on us while we were eating and made sure everything was okay. The food was delicious and had pretty good flavor. The steak quesadilla was decently filled. It kind of reminded me of a small burrito. The al pastor nachos were delicious. A little smaller than I've had recently at another location but enjoyed all of it. The meats were flavorful and moist. I don't like corn, but I enjoyed sharing their street corn every time with my wife. I always ask for extra of their jalapeños - love the spice and flavor. The guava basil and lime aqua Fresca are our favorite - a little sweet, but nothing a little soda water or ice didn't fix. What topped off my dinner date with my wife was the playlist! A blast from the past. It got us dancing in our seats while we ate! Would come back again! read more

Came to this Tacoria location for the 1st time 01/21/26 with one of my best friends. We partook in the Yelp Elite Event going on for the week! The restaurant was small but decorated so beautifully for Valentines day! I ended up ordering the Salad with Vegan option for protein & some Mexican street corn as a side! The pineapple dressing was to dye for! And I always love a good taco salad! Will definitely try again if im in the area! read more

I love their steak burrito . And the variety of dips they have is yummmy. They are quick with the order and the food is worth it!! You are not served its a self service spot. But there is decent amount of seating inside, but it gets crowded at times as it next to the university. read more

My son and I visited Tacoria after visiting Alfalfa (down the street). Interior of the restaurant was nice and aesthetically pleasing. Atmosphere was very inviting. The staff were friendly and patient as this was the first visit (at this location) for both of us. The tacos were delicious. I had one of each: * Al Pastor -- Pork marinated in spices and pineapple * Carne Asada -- Spice marinated grilled steak with Smokey Roja * Pollo Asada -- Citrus kissed grilled chicken with Habanero I also had the Mexican Street Corn and my drink was the Horchata. The tacos were EVERYTHING! My only complaint was that they were real heavy handed with the cilantro. I'm one of those people where the cilantro tastes like soap, so I can eat it sparingly. The pollo asada had habanero sauce so it was still super spicy to me, still delicious. The Mexican Street Corn is my favorite!! Wonderful!! The horchata drink was excellent. Wish there was a Tacoria in Philly!! Will definitely visit this location or another location in the near future. read more

the burritos are good! there's some casual seating but it can fill up pretty quickly, so be ready to take your food to-go. the service is quick, though there have been a few instances where the order is off (missing add-ons), which is a bit unfun if you've already taken your order back. They have a great selection of soft drinks, and the steak and brussel sprouts are quite delicious! I am also a big fan of their nutella nachos. read more

Definitely solid quality tacos, Mexican street corn and overall atmosphere! It was such a cute spot and definitely popular. They had self serve sauces to enhance the flavor of the tacos and they were very quick service wise.

This is literally our go to spot whenever my boyfriend and I are in Princeton. The service is always great. I think we waited for our tacos for less then 10mins. We always order something different to try out their menu and the food never disappoints. It is also reasonably priced for a restaurant in such a popular college town. I think each taco is around $5, and they are loaded with food. I had to eat the stuffing with my fork before I could actually pick up my taco to eat!! For drinks they have a few option, like the signature Jarritos, coca cola and some branded water. The inside of the restaurant is pretty cool too! There are loads of light up signs, a mural and they always have some cute quote written on the blackboard. We genuinely love eating there! Since I live all the way in NYC, I cannot have Tacoria's food often and I think that makes my experience there more special. read more

Very good Mexican food. It is very loud and chaotic, which resulted in us not getting the order quite right. We wanted a burrito and instead ended up getting some kind of burrito bowl. Not tragic as it was delicious. The spicy chicken on it had a very nice kick to it. The nachos were also very good. The chips were thicker than I normally like but they had to be because the ingredients on top were hearty and heavy. The seating is a challenge but we were able so share with some strangers. Maybe next time we'll do better communicating what we want. Either was, really good stuff. read more

Usually do pickup or delivery cause they're always busy so getting a table can be challenging but their quality is great! I love their chips they're so thick and crunchy, the guacamole is awesome. My husband does the burrito and I always do tacos. They're super nice as well! Inside is a little loud and busy but the vibe is active so if you want silence, take it to go! read more

Honestly I wasn't terribly impressed with their tacos. They had finely grated cheese on them instead of creamy shredded cheese which I am used to seeing on Mexican platters. They tasted good nonetheless, but I just wish that the cheese was richer because for me that is the most important part. read more

As a lover of hispanic cuisine I love Tacoria, being a great place to go with friends and family they even have options for people who are vegetarian. Because of the great food and services it usually has quite a few customers but it truly depends on when you go. The only thing to point out is that food would have been able to be absolutely gluten free but everything is made in the same place and has high contamination risk (not with vegetarian options I do believe they use a separate cooking area but I am not sure would be worth a call) read more

I decided to try this place. It was really good! My food was ready within minutes. I got the burrito bowl, Mexican street corn and a Guava Mint Aqua Fresca. Everything was very fresh and seasoned well. They also had a lot of sauces and salsas by where you pick up the food which was super fun to try. I love the decor inside. It is really fun and bright. The service was quick and very friendly. It was my first time there and they were very helpful with what to try and where to go for everything. I would definitely recommend this and would be back! read more

I ordered the al pastor nachos. Huge serving, but I wish the cheese was melted more. I love Al pastor, but this was just ok - would try the chicken instead next time. I got in right when it opened & got my food within 15 minutes. I will say it is super cute inside. Super well decorated & seemed like a good lunch spot. I'd go again, but switch the proteins. read more

Definitely a step up from the chipotle experience. Much more flavorful across the board. Sauces on the side by the pickup window are a must - has a full range of hotness there. Can even mix some of them together. Food is always quick and ready when I want it. Service is quick. Lots of shared tables. Not really my thing but it works. read more

I came here for the Yelp Elite check-in. This is right in downtown princeton, so I'd recommend coming here if you already plan to walk around princeton or if you don't mind looking for parking. We came around 5:30 PM on a Saturday and it was starting to get very busy. There is not alot of seating but the service was very quick. I ended up getting the Carne asada burrito and added guac, Mexican street corn, and agua Fresca. I loved the chipotle aioli on the corn and the cool vibes of the restaurant. The only thing missing was a nice frozen marg. Cheers! read more

I've gone to this Princeton location three separate times in the last 7 months. All of those times I've woken up to food poisoning at 3-4 in the morning. The third time I woke up I was throwing up for an hour at 4:15am The first two times I went, I got a chicken quesadilla w chips and salsa. Third time was just chips and salsa! I thought maybe, just maybe it could've been me or something after the first two times, maybe it was something I had ate before, earlier in the day, but after three times there is no doubt in my mind that someone contaminated the food or something is off with the food. The common denominator in all of the times was chips and salsa so I'd at a very minimum stay clear of that which is ridiculous as it's about as basic of a food as it comes. I will not be coming back!!!!!! read more

I absolutely love Tacoria as a chain and the Princeton location is always the best. They do get crowded for dine in - between prepared to snag a table.

Love the self serve hot sauce bar. The pico and chips are delicious. read more

I've been to other Tacorias so I'm gonna be horrible and compare. First off, the service here was infinitely better than the other two I've been to. Warmer. Friendlier. All smiles and you know I love smiles. The place was seemed a little smaller but still very neat with a good layout. But more importantly, even though the food tastes fabulous across the board, this place seemed to LOAD UP their tacos! It was FULL of meat! I love when that happens! read more

We were visiting Princeton University for a tour and chose this place for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised that everything tasted so good. We had steak and chicken tings tacos, chicken burrito, and chicken nachos. The meat was flavorful, which we love because often when we have Mexican food the meat is not seasoned well. The portions are filling. The place itself is rather small but clean and the employees were friendly. Would recommend this place for a quick bite near the university. read more

I'm not even sure where to start, other than that. YOU ARE MISSING OUT IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HERE. Came in, first time today, for lunch and wasn't sure what to order; looked at the menu, still not sure lol. The girl at the counter suggested a burrito or burrito bowl if I was hungry, which I was. I debated on what protein. I said I like spicy, and she said the chorizo was good. It certainly was! The burrito bowl was big, flavorful, and delicious! They have a wall with sauces and hot sauce where your food gets picked up and the sauces are all really good. I tried the Brussel Sprouts, and I'm going to be honest; I can not see myself going here and not ordering them every time. Outstanding! Golden Avocado was awesome with the Chipotle sauce, as well as the street corn, which was grilled perfectly, sauced, and seasoned well. The music was pumping, creating a fun energetic atmosphere. You can feel the energy in the food and preparation. The decor is cool and modern. Even the lemonade was really good. Felix and his staff are sending out some killer food. You really need to check them out. I work 15-20 minutes away, and I'm trying to figure out a way to get here consistently at least once every other week. Solid experience. Cannot wait to return. Great spot. read more

i love tacoria but this location is a hit or miss with the food. my go to is a brussel sprout bowl and sometimes its delicious and flavorful, but theres also times where its lacking flavors and the brussel sprouts are rock hard and not cooked. this week i got a bowl and the brussel sprouts were burnt on the outside but completely hard still. As for the atmosphere, i personally would not eat here. the music is extremely loud as if youre at a club and it's often packed inside. it feels like walking into a club and its even louder in the bathroom. i think look wise it's nice. i like the aesthetic and decoration. read more

It's reunions weekend - mobbed all over town. Tacoria to the rescue! It has easy online ordering and pickups even during busy times, plenty of nice outdoor spaces surrounded by trees and shade to sit up and down Nassau Street (including two outdoor tables at the restaurant for dine-in), and amazing vegetarian options (we tried the beyond (recommend adding lettuce), the corn (recommend adding beans), and the Brussels sprouts - by far the standout. read more

I love the chicken quesadilla, all other items I have had were great. One of the best places to eat in Princeton.

Came here for dinner an on a Friday night and it was pretty crowded. We ordered the Al pastor bowl, golden avocado tacos and a side of golden avocados. The Al pastor bowl was delicious. The pork and pineapples make such a good combo. The other ingredients of the bowl married everything together. The tomatoes added an ice freshness, the cheese added a nice saltiness and the sour cream added a nice richness. The golden avocado tacos were also excellent. The avocados themselves were perfectly fried and crispy on the outside. The chipotle sauce gave it a nice Smokey spice and tangy-ness. We find we always want more avocados in the tacos so we order an extra side order of it. Overall, this place is solid for fast made to order mexican food. Also if you like spice they have a variety a hot sauces you can choose from in the back where you pick up your food. read more

Aside from the delicious food, the staff is super friendly and very attentive. The spot is smack dab in the middle of Princeton University world so it's frequented by students.

Got to try a few things at Tacoria for the Yelp elite event! Thank you to Yelp and Tacoria for organizing this. Food: the steak quesadilla was our favorite. It was super flavorful and the steak was very tender. The burrito bowl was good but smaller than we expected. Chips and guac were pretty good! Wish they had a queso option but they have other unique sides like golden avocado. Ambiance: it's a cool spot but the place is fairly small, especially for downtown Princeton. We ended up having to share our table with another couple as it was packed on a Saturday night. Service: everyone was friendly and food came out quickly read more

This place was unfortunately unremarkable. Maybe my expectations were high due to the previous reviews, and maybe my taco tastebuds are a little bias since I lived in Los Angeles prior to being in NJ. However, the food here was mediocre at best. We got the chips and guac, burrito and burrito bowl. We also got an agua fresca. I will say that I did really enjoy the agua frescas- very light and flavorful. The horchata on the other hand was really sugary. The chips were cold and not crunchy. The guac was not flavorful nor well-spiced. The burrito / burrito bowl were very salty. The ingredients tasted cheap. The cheese in my burrito tasted like nacho cheese from a jar. The ambience and service was fine, but again, nothing at all remarkable. I would definitely recommend trying out more authentic places in the region for better quality and better tasting food. read more
