    Build your own taco (comes with rice and beans)
    Nadia D.

    DELICIOUS! For the price and portion size, absolutely worth it! The service was excellent. Very nice and professional. Has a cute and cozy vibe to it with great music. Definitely a new in town favorite. Our tacos were incredibly flavorful and the meat was cooked to perfection! And the guacamole is delicious!!!!

    TacoRito is a small not expensive restaurant in Hightstown. Recommended by Yelp and I was not disppointed. We ordered Chipotle Wet Burrito, Build Your Own Taco with Chicken and TacoRito Shrimp Taco. It was made fresh with fresh ingredients. They have variety of options to choose from. I definitely recommend this place. Food : 4 Stars Cleanliness : 4 Stars Service : 3.5 Stars

    Casual taco place located at Hightstown, NJ We dined here Sunday around 2pm. There was a no wait. We ordered fish taco and steak taco street style. Each dish came with three tacos with soft corn tortillas. Both of tacos were tasty but I liked street style better. There was more flavor since steak was sauteed with cabbage and jalapenos. The black beans were good but the rice was cold and mushy. The server who took my order was polite and helpful.

    Stopped by here for dinner starving after a soccer tournament. I built my own burrito but wish I tried something else. I had asked for spicy rice in my burrito but the quantity of it was very overpowering. I got chicken on it and it was shredded and didn't taste that flavorfull. The guacomole was decent but could have used a bit of salt. My friend very much enjoyed his vegetarian tacos so perhaps tacos are the go-to here.

    We were in Hightstown for the new brewery, and we needed food afterwards. The tavern across the street was way too busy, so we tried out this taco place. It turns out it was actually pretty good. They have inside seating, but with the current situation they also had some outside seating in the alleyway. Lots of people were walking by, so there was people watching. They make you order on touchscreens. I got stuck behind two people who did not know how to use the touchscreens, so that was a little annoying. Maybe the staff can assist people who have trouble with technology or just take orders verbally from people who don't want to use the touchscreen. I, however, found it relatively easy to use and efficient. The staff were nice otherwise and were quick to get my food prepared. I wouldn't call it a traditional Mexican restaurant. They had a make your own burrito option, which reminded me a little of the chain restaurant chipotle. That's what I actually ordered, and I liked it. It's better than Chipotle lol. Everything tasted flavorful. They also have complete Mexican entrees on the menu. It's good for quicker food that's prepared better. The prices were actually pretty low, too. I'd go back if I were in the area again.

    The metal was the size of a staple

    Be careful eating here. I ordered takeout and found a sharp piece of metal in my burrito!

    Crazy chicken empanadas and avocado cream sauce, yummy!
    Lindsey A.

    Such a nice gem to this small town. This review is just based off of the 'crazy empanadas' alone, the only thing I've had off the menu. I first tried their empanadas at the Hightstown Harvest Fair where they had an outdoor stand and they were selling like hotcakes! I've had both the beef and chicken empanadas. The beef was good but the chicken was my personal favorite. It's flavored with chipotle mayo, pico, cheese and sour cream. Sooo tasty. The outer part of the empanadas are so tasty, doughy and baked/fried perfectly. I just discovered the restaurant is partnered with Door Dash, which is great if you're in need of a delivery like I was recently. The menu is so extensive and I've heard so many great things about what else is on there. Will definitely make my next order of Mexican food from TacoRito!

    It's took me a long time to finally check this place out. I knew about it, and I even knew where…read moreit was supposed to be located, but I'd driven by it a thousand times without going in...largely due to the very small sign located over the location. I didn't actually realize it was where I wanted to go until I was parking in front of it. As mentioned in other reviews, the dining space inside is small and very basic--which is fine. The portion of the store selling Mexican food staples is in the front as you enter, and the handful of dine-in tables are located at the back of the store between the store's aisles and the kitchen counter. What finally got me there to visit was that it was open for breakfast, and while a lot of places say they're open for breakfast, opening up at 9AM twice a week doesn't qualify. El Sabor Oaxaqueño 2 is open for breakfast most days at 6AM, because they serve people who are working their butts off and who need a good meal. The breakfasts at El Oaxaqueño 2 serve that need. My Chilaquiles Verde were spicy, but not super spicy, and it was served with rice and black beans. My carne asada was an addition as were my fried eggs. You can also get chicken breast (pechuga) or a red sauce if that's more your style. My wife's Huevos con Chorizo were very flavorful and very filling. They were also served with rice and black beans, along freshly made tortillas and a stick of cheese to crumble over your meal. She was only able to finish off half her plate, and we took home the rest. Our next visit was for dinner, and because I couldn't decide on what I wanted, we split three plates between us. First up was my Tacos de Tripa. I asked for the tripa (pork chitterlings, not tripe) to be well cooked so that it was crunchy, and they served them up just as I like them. They were topped with chopped onion and garlic, and once topped with the spicy green fresh salsa, we gobbled them down. The tortillas were freshly made and had a nice texture. The next dish was the chicken enchiladas en mole. Four enchiladas were well stuffed with white chicken meat then bathed in flavorful mole and served with rice and beans. Thankfully, it wasn't topped with a ridiculously huge glob of melted cheese. Last was the Quesadilla--not your Mama's quesadilla either. It was huge, and it wasn't as cheesy as the quesadillas the average person knows. Inside it was stuffed almost like a taco with big pieces of shrimp in one half and carne asada in the other. There was cheese, but cheese was not the star as it is in the average quesadilla we're all used to. It was good, and we both enjoyed it--it was just a surprise. The place is far from fancy, but they serve real food, and it's real good.

    My first trip to El Gallo Tropical was to try their fish tacos as part of my goal to find the best…read morefish tacos in/around Hamilton Township. I'd known about them for years, but they were kind of out of the way for me. The place is small and unassuming, which gave me high expectations, as sometimes I find myself having lower expectations for a more "Mexican" decorated place (I'm wrong as often as I'm right). As far as the Fish Tacos went, they do not serve the Baja style fried fish tacos that I'd grown up on out west, so it was a downer when the plater arrived and I saw the tacos filled with chopped fish cooked in broth. That said, at least the taco was well filled and the fish had a very good flavor. The broth turned out to be a major issue, as the (very tasty) single layer tortillas were soaking up the broth while I ate the first taco, and the second and third tacos both split at the seams and fell apart after one or two bites. A second tortilla may have prevented this debacle, but I won't order fish tacos here again. I'd have loved a fish soup made in this style. The next visit I tried Tacos de Tripa (fried pork intestines), which is my current go to taco style. They were very good, and I enjoyed the heck out of them. They were nice and crispy as I'd requested, and the excellent tasting tortilla made them an excellent choice. My wife had a cheese tamal that had ribbons of poblanos inside as well, and it was also very good with the poblanos providing a nice balance to the heaviness of the cheese. I'd get both again in a heartbeat. My third visit was at lunchtime, and I opted for a Torta de Chili Relleno--essentially a chili relleno sandwich. It wasn't the first I've ever had, and it's a fave torta when I see them on the menu--which isn't often. The torta arrived with a nice sized chili relleno along with the usual smear of beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a couple pieces of queso fresco served on a lightly toasted roll. Overall, the torta was very good tasting, and it went down nicely. However, I wish they used a little firmer roll instead of the soft one they did use. The torta was big and warm, and a crustier roll would have been better. The soft one used was near to collapsing under the weight of the ingredients. Fries are an option on the many torta options for a couple dollars extra. In retrospect, I'd have liked to have added a layer of fries to the sandwich for a little extra kick. All in all, El Gallo Tropical is a place I'll continue to go to. The staff is very friendly, and the menu is extensive (too big?). Although I had them initially at three stars after my first visit for fish tacos, the second (4+) and third (4-) visits have raised them up, and I'm rounding up to a four.
