Tacos N Taps — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

I have been coming to the cozy restaurant for a while now. I like the sphere there, people are friendly and if you are eating alone, the staff makes you feel like a part of it. Ok, yes, weekends can be pretty busy and maybe you might not be served the same way as on a weekday. But the food is the same tasty and authentic. The chef is a real Mexican, so the flavors are authentic. If you don’t drink Mezcal, go for tequila, but if you don’t drink even cocktails, then you should try their “Horchata”. It is one of the best, made with fresh milk! In case you might be allergic to any food or spices, please do not hesitate to ask about the ingredients in their products! I normally do not like fresh onions, unless marinated or cooked! So I always ask anywhere I go “No fresh Onions”.

This is a fun place to meet friends for shots and cocktails after work. It is my favorite when it comes to bring children to have a new food experience, and of course afternoon times on Sundays are for me the best! Sometimes after 9 pm weekends, it gets a little wilder and loud around all the MAJI MAJI square, this review tries to be as honest as possible, trying to help understand the reader to understand better the surroundings on weekends, in case you may not know that Maji Maji square, is a food paradise, full with high quality food vendors, but after 9 pm it gets pretty much “fun” for younger at heart and youn people in Taipei. About Tacos and Taps, they play all the time Latin American music, at good sound level that makes it easier enjoy a good friendly chat, and yet, feel the Latin vibrant music with a delicious bite and excellent cocktails or “horchatas”. You can also order “food to take away”. You can pay with credit card, LINE PAY, and cash! The restaurant is on the first floor, so people in wheelchairs can easily...

Absolute travesty. I ordered the quesadillas, tacos (soft and hard) and nachos. The biggest issue is that the chefs don't know how to cook. There's no heart. Everything was overcooked. Tortillas for soft tacos were on the verge of becoming a hard taco because they were either left out too long or sitting on the cooking metal too long. The meat in every single dish felt like they were reheated dry meat -chorizo, carnitas, and chicken ...they were missing carne asada and chicharron that day...skme if the best meats. Chicken. over cooked. choriso. hard and crumbly. carnitas. only the fatty parts. It was like a budget meat melody. Quesadillas used the same dry and over cooked chicken. I could not touch anything with the chicken because it was basically cardboars in a hard wrap. The worst is the first dish, the nachos that came up, the cheese felt like they just squeezed it out of a squeeze tube from the fridge. The cheese sauce is cold! Something so simple reflects the quality they out into everything. Everything about this place is a mockery of Mexican cuisine. Amateur hour. Even a seven eleven non authentic wrap would eclipse whatever the kitchen put out here....

Honestly maybe we had too high expectations ..that’s why kinda brought us such a big disappointment 😓 They open at 5pm we got into the seat around 17:05 we ordered chips and salsa it’s pretty standard side dish as Mexican restaurant,agree ? But it turns out it’s the chips from Lays and the salsa isn’t even salsa, just chopped onions and tomatoes without the sauce … I mean ? 🤔 was trying to be understandable, maybe they sold out or some sort ..but wait a minute we got in like 5 mins after you guys open and there’s maybe two table before us. Thank god we just can’t be bothered to find out how much they charge for that lol

Love the shell itself either soft or hard that’s for sure , but the flavour and sauce.. just wish can be better 😅 pull pork isnt pull pork , just pork 🤣 and I’d say the color isn’t right like authentic pull pork.

Oh and i knew tacos need to eat by hands .. but honestly how come as a restaurant don’t even have forks to serve ? The staff gave us the coffee spoon instead 🤫 that’s cool , quite a fun way to solved the problem tho. And my husband was feeling nauseous after the meal , i didn’t finish my meal , maybe that’s...
