The Taco Box - Lola loooved coming here regularly for her treats!! - Tacos Near Me - Warren, Rhode Island

I'll keep this one short and sweet. It's a cute idea. Went for a bike ride on the Bristol bike path and couldn't pass up trying this little cart. I saw a pizza oven, and I saw "taco" and was intrigued. We got a carne asada "taco" to split. Now look, the vehicle for the meat and toppings was literally a personal sized pizza. If you're getting a taco and a pizza, is either aspect of it going to be the best you ever had, nah. And that's what it turned out to be. The pizza was akin to blaze pizza quality. Not hand stretched, instead it was pressed and the crust lacked any good chew or depth of flavor. However, I love pizza, qualify pizza, and sometimes, some not so qualify pizza because pizza is pizza and pizza is life. I like blaze pizza. It's not Pasquale's in South county or Pizza Marvin, but it hits the spot. The meat and toppings could have been more flavorful. They had a whole slew of hot sauces to pick from though, so I went with the Melinda Peri Peri garlic sauce and it kicked up the flavor. Overall, points for creativity. I liked it, it has novelty, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it again but if I was ever going for another bike ride with a small group i would entertain it for sure. All in all, for $14ish I was not disappointed. You do get your fill. read more

Stopped there today as we always stop when we're on the bike trail. Absolutely never disappoints. We had the street corn taco with steak on top of it. The flavors were out of this world. We've also had the shrimp taco and the chicken taco. Both were delicious. Great place to unwind and enjoy great food!!! read more

I loved that it had a beautiful courtyard to sit and eat. Service was great she did a great job of describing the items and what was on them . These were the most unique tacos ever. I really loved their tortillas which texture wise was kinda of like a pita pocket but different. I absolutely loved all the flavors and the freshness of all the ingredients. Would definitely come here again for a quick lunch or supper. Bonus they offer Kristi's Kocktails which are delicious and if it's really hot there is a Dels lemonade next door. read more

The Box East Bay is a gourmet taco stand that opened in Warren, Rhode Island in June 2019. It was founded by Matthew King. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, King has 35 years of experience working for a major contract food service facility that focused on the leisure and entertainment segment. Eventually he decided that he wanted to be his own boss. King came up with an idea to develop food trailers that can convert to multiple concepts. For his first project, he intended to sling pizzas on his Italian-made wood-burning oven. His girlfriend convinced him to focus on tacos instead. King's tacos were essentially a hybrid between traditional street tacos and Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas. All tortillas are handmade by himself with a mixture of wheat flour and corn. He converted a vintage former horse trailer into a retrofitted food stand outfitted with a removable wood-burning oven. King cleared out an area on his front lawn to permanently park the trailer. The operation was dubbed "The Taco Box" when it first opened, but by July 2022 it was renamed "The Box East Bay" to reflect its growing menu. My family and I visited The Box this past August while we were driving back home from a week-long trip to Cape Cod. We stopped along the East Bay Bike Path in Warren for a bathroom break and to grab some frozen lemonades from Del's. We looked across the street, saw The Box and thought that some street tacos would make a delicious lunch. We had no idea what we were in for. The food stand is surrounded by a beautiful garden and some picnic tables for customers to sit at. We started off with a plate of "Chips & Pico with Guacamole": something quick to get our appetite going. Then my wife and I ordered the "Shrimp Taco" (wild caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp, red onion, shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime vinagreta) and "Street Corn Taco" (flame roasted corn, black beans, charred sweet mild chilies, avocado, lime garlic mayo) to share as well as a "Cheese Quesadilla" for our son. We were shocked when we received our tacos. Not only were they huge but they resembled Neapolitan pizzas more than tacos. We folded them in half and ate them like a taco. The tortillas were crunchy and charred on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. These tacos were spectacular; just busting with flavor from the fresh ingredients (some of which were grown right in the garden). We are so happy that we discovered The Box by accident and would definitely stop again the next time we find ourselves in Warren! read more

This is the best find. Unlike any taco I've had. Freshness is quality. Mexican Sweet corn taco with great toppings. Fresh ripe avocado, lime is so amazing. The taco box is a retro food truck, permanently at this spot. It's definitely delicious. Sit or take home and they have cute T's just in case you don't want to forget where you had those amazing tacos! read more

The Taco Box - Cute side street taco truck with amazing food! - Tacos Near Me - Warren, Rhode Island

Always yummy & a fun spot to go to!!! I really enjoy all the options. The entire place is just so cute ! Not a ton of seating options specifically in the shade so come prepared !!! It's nice to eat in the sun right by the bike park. We love coming here though, it's such a treat !!! Definitely a unique place, I highly recommend. read more

It has been another tasty season of enjoying the Taco Box. We have become regulars at this amazing food truck, and I can't speak highly enough of their amazing staff and of course delicious tacos! If they have their nacho taco special, I highly recommend it! Otherwise, this year I have enjoyed the carne asada taco and of course Jarritos mango to drink. Their tortilla dough is the best, and they make some of their sauces in house as well. Absolutely hands down one of our favorite places to eat period! read more

A permanent food truck with cheap prices, AMAZING food (unique, too!), and a cute-as-a-burrito setting (Burritos are cute, don't @ me)? Look no further than the lil' wonder that is The Taco Box, which serves up awesome Mexican food with a twist just steps away from downtown Warren, RI. When I say "with a twist", I mean that the Quesadillas and Tacos are served not on tortillas, but on doughy carb concoctions that would feel more at home in a pizza parlor than a taqueria. My boyfriend got a chicken/bean quesadilla, and it tasted like a remarkable hybrid of a calzone and its Mexican namesake. I was impressed, especially with the fresh tomato salsa served on the side for dipping. Not sure if this was a riff on the traditional calzone presentation with marinara, but it was bangin'. As for me, I went with a Taco Bowl, which was a wonderfully filling create-your-own concoction, starring their flavorful and meaty adobo chicken, with a supporting cast of roasted corn, pickled peppers, melty mozzarella, and an addictive green chile sauce. Ask for extra sauce, or help yourself to the wide variety of dressings available at the rustic wooden condiment station. PS: The peppers are complimentary, and not to be missed! They added a nice acidic note to the bowl, and kept it all from tasting too heavy. I also washed it down with a lovely and refreshing glass of hibiscus iced tea, but if you're a soda person, you'll want to grab a glass-bottle Coke from the vintage soda cooler. It's little details like that which make the Taco Box remarkable. From the retro mint green color scheme to the limited but cozy seating on mismatched picnic tables and old-school garden chairs, it's definitely Instagram friendly. Oh, did I mention that the Box itself is a converted horse trailer? Not only do they get points for the yummy eats, but also for creativity, and an all around hip and funky aesthetic. And the prices! My goodness! For both of us - a quesadilla and the chicken taco bowl plus a drink each, our total was $20. Not bad for a night out - and for our anniversary, too. Best one ever! Service is brisk, but the food is more than worth it. You'll wait a bit for the food, so don't come hangry, but everything is prepared fresh to order, so each bite is filled with homemade goodness that you can taste. I am apprehensive to share the fantasticalness that is The Taco Box with the huddled masses, but it's almost too phantasmagorical to keep it a secret! read more

What a great concept! Who doesn't want tacos and these "New England" tacos as they referred to them were great. This is not your traditional food truck, mostly because it is a horse trailer. They drop the back gate and roll out the wood fired cooking oven on it. It is a simple menu, but hits all the areas you need; Beef, chicken, shrimp and veggie. We started ( yes started) with a side order of chips with salsa and guacamole. The chips weren't homemade but they were quality chops and the salsa was great. We then tried a Carne Asada Taco and a Shrimp Taco. The Carne Asada was not the traditional skirt steak but big cuts of what looked like tri-tip. The sauce was amazing and the flavor of the bread/shell when it comes out of the oven bring this to another level. The shrimp taco had big pieces of gulf shrimp on it. The sauce and condiments they used on this was great as well. We couldn't leave well enough alone and went back and got a Chicken Taco and a Carne Asada Quesadilla. These didn't disappoint either. The chicken had a great flavor and again the sauce was killer. The Quesadilla was basic, but basically awesome. It was meat and cheese melted in the oven on their bread and folded in half. It comes with a side of salsa (add it to every blessed bite) and enjoy. I will definitely be back! read more

Shrimp tacos kill...! Warren's little secret when in season - can be busy with bike path nooners.

This is still one of our favorite places to eat! Honestly, we were eating here at least once a week it's THAT good!!! My first review that I wrote over a year ago has not changed!! Still rocking 5 SOLID stars and I cannot imagine that changing!!!!!! They are closed for the season right now, though they did pop up this past weekend for the Warren Walkabout as the "Fire Box" offering two different style pizzas (Margherita & Sopressata) OMG they are all over that too!!! SO damn good!!! Follow them on IG for updates!!! read more

Firstly, these are NOT tacos not even in spirit. The mixing of wheat and corn for the dough leads to an abnormal taste and texture compared to real tacos. Furthermore, it is the size of a small flatbread pizza and comparable with the cheeses used. The carne asada was bland and not complimented by the ingredients piled onto the flatbread, which consisted of coleslaw and sour cream. To further my disappointment I paid 13 dollars for something not much larger than my hand, that was about 40% burnt. For the second part of my order I purchased a shrimp taco. The shrimp was over cooked and once again really lacking with complimentary flavor. The service was acceptable and fast. Overall, poor flavor combinations for far too high a price. With a misleading title of Taco. read more

First visit. Located next to Del's and the bike path. Street parking nearby. All outdoor dining so COVID safe. Quick and friendly service. "Their" and "your" tacos available and some other dishes. We had their chips and salsa (a little light on the salsa), el pastor taco, pulled chicken quesadilla, grilled corn, and 2 sodas. Everything was good and if you are ordering tacos - one will do! Flavorful but not too spicy (don't know if they have an option for "spicier"). We lived in Texas for 30 years and were able top relish all the regional versions of tacos but we never had a tortilla like these. Typically they are corn OR flour; here is is corn plus flour! And then they are heavily grilled resulting in an almost pizza-like version. Never had Mex or Tex-Mex like this before. Damages with tip was $34. Give them a try!

Delicious tacos and quesadillas in this relatively new food truck. Everything is made to order so it takes a little while. I waited 20 minutes for 3 quesadillas and chips and pico. There are plenty of seating areas and high top tables to stand at while waiting for your order. The place has a nice vibe with music playing and pretty plantings around. The food was fresh and tasty. I'm glad to see Warren is becoming a foodie destination! read more

Finally stopped for a bite today. Very hip and friendly spot. Right off the Warren Bike Path near Dells Lemonade. Ordered the street corn taco. (These are NOT Taco Bell style Taco's) Wow, what a different and tasty taco. Cooked in a wood-fired oven. The Tacos are huge and almost the size of a small pizza. We had our cut in 1/2 made it easier to fold and eat. It was a quick bite but worth every penny. I will be returning for more. This is truly a hidden gem. read more

This place is an absolute gem! It's amazing how delicious the food is considering it comes out of a tiny little cart! These are not the 'tacos' you get in most places. It's an open-faced sandwich made on a grilled, thick, chewy tortilla. You can either have yours custom made from a combination of proteins (chicken, shrimp, steak) and toppings (numerous veggies and cheeses), or have one of their combos. The result is a delicious hot open face sandwich on a grilled tortilla that's more like the consistency of grilled pita bread. It's unlike any we've ever had, and delicious! It's right off the bike path in Warren, with several tables and chairs for outdoor seating. Del's is right next door for the perfect desert. It's a great lunch or dinner stop while biking. read more

No restroom for customers, employee told me to go to the police station. The food (large format tacos) was overpriced and unauthentic.... Skip it. read more

A new spot that has shrimp tacos? Count me in! This is a cute little trailer right off Child street in Warren. My husband and I went by for lunch yesterday. These are not your standard tacos. The tortillas are thicker then your normal tortilla and are quite filling. I ordered a shrimp taco and my husband the carne asada. The tortillas are heating in the oven with sauce and toppings right before being handed to you. The wait for our tacos wasn't too long and while they do have picnic tables we chose to bring them home to eat. We both give this a thumbs up. The toppings were plentiful and the taco was tasty. We'd both go back. read more

Taco Box has been open for about a month at this point, and they are still working out some of the bugs of what seems to be a family operated food truck. That being said, there was a small line, and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. - First thing first, the reason for 5 stars is the "taco" is pretty stretched on this usage. These are more like personal pizzas. They are about 6-8in wide, cooked on a thicker dough, and fired in a pizza oven. So if you're craving a traditional street taco, this is not the one. - Taco style aside, the food was amazing! Steak was well marinated, dough was awesome, and all the flavors meshed really well. After 1 taco, you'll be full (don't be decieved like I was). - This was quick, tasty, and (for what you get) decently priced, and I would absolutely go again, and bring a friend. read more

Loved these wood grilled tacos. They make their own shells. Different and delicious.

New spot that's opened up in Warren. Amazing location right next to the bike path and close to the main road. They have four different tacos along with quesadilla and a bowl with different toppings. Decided to go with the chicken bowl which was pretty good, had good flavors and decent quantity. Also got the hibiscus tea which was refreshing. The taco itself is freshly pressed there and goes into a wood fired oven. It is one taco and almost looks like a mini pizza. Cost is about 8-10$ for everything. Overall good flavors and a great place to stop by while in Warren or the bike path. Also they have Mexican coke which is an added plus. read more

The Taco Box is closed for the winter (although they are still doing pop up pizzas from time to time). Got to enjoy their food several times this summer. I will say that it is not a taco in the traditional sense - more of a flatbread with taco-esque toppings. My favorites are the shrimp taco and the butternut squash taco. The chips/salsa includes homemade salsa, but the chips are just from a bag. The guacamole/avocado is worth adding to any taco and they have a cooler full of different sodas. Two tacos are more than enough for two people and you can either call ahead or order when you arrive. There are a few tables for dining outside, but I have always gotten the tacos to go. read more

what a wild ride this taco is! so soft and tasty. a unique twist on a taco. it's massive to start. so soft and filling. I got shrimp to split but could've thrown down the big boy! honestly it's an experience and it won't disappoint. even with a line they pump them out quickly! read more

Taco 'bout a tasty meal!!! Stopped on a whim and it's not our favorite East Bay spot. We had the Street Corn Taco and the Chicken Taco. Both were made to order with fresh, delicious ingredients.

When you 1st arrive your 1st impression is very quaint and tastefully done. Unfortunately the name "taco box" does not describe the food. It is a wheat and corn pizza crust sprinkled with meat and some cabbage slaw. Don't bother with the taco bowl that is offered it is a joke. When asked if they could omit peppers to One of the taco bowls and we were told yes, That fell on deaf ears. When we show the owner the amount of peppers that was placed on one of the taco bowls He did however apologize profusely and refunded our money. All in all the owner was pleasant enough but the value for the cost and the flavor was in my opinion not worth it read more

Unique and tasty tacos. These tacos are baked in a small pizza oven, and the soft shell tastes like pizza dough and has some good signature pizza oven charr as well. Pretty much a taco and pizza hybrid/fusion. They cost about 10$ each, and are pretty big. Downside is, the protein portion was a little small in my opinion. However, they taste very good. Overall - 3.5 Carne asada taco - 4.0 Chicken taco - 3.1 read more
