    Popped in here for a road pop was blown away. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but like the Doctors TARDIS, it's much bigger on the inside! Kudos to the nerds who get my Dr. Who reference. The interior is like a mix of modern and industrial. Really cool vibes. Great service from the friendly bartender who was super easy on the eyes and made sure my first visit was awesome. Ate some chips and dip and it was tasty. Will come back again for an actually meal. Highly recommend this place!

    Loaded tots...

    The Tavern on 42, went out with friends for the .42 cent wing night which they were very accommodating for the group we had, Wife ordered BBQ wings, loaded tots, i ordered hot/spicy garlic wings & fried mozzarella sticks. The loaded tots & cheese sticks came out, the tots were way inedible & over fried which the server was gladly to take back & given us a new batch which came back just the way my wife like them, I on the other hand didn't it tasted too much like Mac & Cheese which I can't stand. Mozzarella sticks were just good like any other good stick. Here comes the wings my wife really enjoyed her wings mine were OK, they said it tasted more "butter than Buffalo sauce" I could taste the Buffalo sauce, on the spicy it wasn't too spicy it had a nice heat kick to it, although the wings were nicely sauced they still had a nice crunch to them... The server was very attentive to everyone which I think she was the only 1 there besides the bartender. She did the best she could do with that she had always refilling my drink even though it was over half full. What I really loved was how spoken she was about where she was at like if she was coming with hot food she would mention it while passing you out just by taping on your back saying I'm behind you while getting my pop to refill it. As far as coming back I would but I'm going to patronize another special night, Will try the steak... ***BUEN PROVECHO***

    mouth watering greatness reminds me a funnel cake with perfect about of crunch and sweetness with a light hint of vanilla.

    We stopped in for dinner tonight and I realized I've never actually written a review, even though…read morewe've been coming to El Orito Tacos since they first opened. This place truly never disappoints. Every visit the food is hot, fresh, and consistent -- which is something you don't always find. We've honestly never had a bad meal here. Tonight we ordered the Burrito Texas, which was incredible -- stuffed with steak, seasoned pork, and bacon, then topped with chorizo, melted cheese, and pineapple. It was served with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream and was packed with flavor. We also had the Chicken & Steak Fajitas and two beef tacos with cheese, lettuce, and black beans. Everything came out hot and delicious. They were really busy tonight and our server, Paola, seemed newer, so the service wasn't quite as attentive as we've experienced on past visits. One small disappointment was the specials board when we walked in listed chicken and steak fajitas for $15. When the bill came, it was $19.99. When I asked about it, we were told the $15 price was for shrimp only, which was confusing based on what the board said. Overall, this is still one of our regular go-to spots because the food is consistently great. Hopefully the specials board gets clarified, but we'll definitely be back.

    Stumbled on this place driving to a show, and wow I am so glad we stopped. Everything we got was…read morethe best! Absolutely loved the dip trio, guac, queso and a bean dip. I would go back just for that. Service was great and food was fantastic! I wish it wasn't so far or else this would be our go to mexican spot!!

I love adeni tea and went to try this place. We ended up ordering something different and may now have a new favorite. The tea was hot, sweet , and flavorful. We split a sandwich, each got a dessert, and split a medium pot of tea. The chicken salad was tasty. It was mostly mayo and chicken and we didn't notice anything else to it, but I enjoyed it. It was on the thin side. Again, the tea was delicious and we drank the whole pot. The desserts , mine a strawberry tree Leche, and my mom and cookie cheesecake. Both were delicious and decent size pieces.

    I wanted to love this place, and see a small business thrive, but every aspect of my experience…read morehere made me incredibly disappointed that I wasted my time and money here. To start, from the time we placed our order to the time we received it was 30 minutes. My order included a pastry, coffee, and sandwich, which could almost be forgivable; however, my sister placed a separate order for 2 pastries and a coffee. That should not take 30 minutes. It was a Tuesday afternoon, not terribly busy. After 30 minutes, we had 4 hangry kids who had been asking about their chocolate cake for... well 30 minutes. Next, onto the pastries. $15 a piece is absurd, but my fault not doing the research into price, so I will not fault them for that, only myself. I will fault them for the pastries being rock solid. We got an edible cup and a strawberry. Both were rock hard, and the experience eating them was not enjoyable at all. We were using our plastic spoons as a pick-axe, just trying to get a bite. It is impossible to get a bite of all the layers this way, which defeats the purpose. The kids shared the chocolate cake, thank god that was not frozen solid. Finally, to my butter chicken croissant. The butter chicken part was shredded chicken in the sauce, spread thinner than Dunkin' Donuts spreads their cream cheese. If I had scraped it all off into a pile, it would be about 2 tablespoons of chicken, and that is not an exaggeration. Kids were starving by this point- they were out of the hot dog on the menu, which is what we expected to feed them. I resigned and figured they could try the butter chicken, but for $11 it was not enough to even feed one kid. Thank goodness it included about 10 potato chips on the side, which held them over as we promised to stop for food for them on the way home. All in all- if our food had come out in 10-15 minutes (generous amount of time for coffee and pastry), had it not been frozen, and had I had at least a quarter cup of butter chicken, I could maybe give this place 3-4 stars, and just warn others on the price. However, neither the service nor food nor price was acceptable given the quality, and I am disappointed we wasted an hour of our day and $60 of our hard earned money here.
