tacoria - Mexican Street Kitchen — Restaurant in New Brunswick

Tacoria has been one of my highlighted places for great Tex-Mex food. Located on the popular busy main strip on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick, I fretted about finding parking. I couldn’t have been more wrong as I found metered street parking. No worries about not having a pocketful of change. The meters are linked to the Parkmobile app. A quick download from the App store and some fumbling with creating an account, I was on my way to Tacoria. This awesome app even alerted me when I had 10 minutes remaining on the meter and gave you the option of extending your metered time.

Inside, Tacoria is cozy but utterly charming. Practicing social distancing can be a challenge but staff will direct a potential crowd situation to wait outside. They have a menu hanging down from the ceiling and if you still can’t decide on what to order, the cashiers are exceptionally friendly in making some suggestions. After ordering, they will hand you a hand-held device which vibrates when your order is ready. You can choose to either wait outside or view your order being created in the open kitchen, provided crowds are at a minimum. I elected to watch my order being created since nobody was nearby. During COVID times, the line-chefs were gloved and properly masked and all staff were properly masked.

My order was for both a burrito and burrito box, and were made fairly quickly. As I watched them making the food, I noticed the team had a great rhythm, both efficient and effective, at getting the orders built and packaged. As I watched my order being built, I noticed the freshness of the rice, beans, Spanish rice and chicken. Juices were dripping from the chicken as it was loaded atop of the base layers. Made in-house, I asked for extra habanero sauce which is made fresh daily. The portions are huge and are easily shareable.

Seating is not available at this time, nor is the usage of the restrooms. Due to the pandemic, takeout is the only option. They honor both charge and cash. The items are packed neatly and securely. Surviving a 40 minute ride, everything was intact just as it was at the eatery. I wish I can say that for all the take out foods we have gotten from other eateries. The food was AMAZING, even after enduring the commute home. If the food tastes this good after traveling for 40 minutes, can you imagine how delicious it will be if it’s eaten at the place? I’m drooling just thinking about it. I’m counting the days until dine-in is allowed again. Until then, take-out it is!!

I can’t wait to be back as I fell in love...

Seriously.

GO THERE RIGHT NOW!

It's good - better than good. The more of this you read, the longer you'll have to wait to try the goodness!

This isn't your average good, it's toe-tingling, hair curling good that will begat cravings that will not subside until you go there again.

The owner must be a Time Lord, because it's amazing that they packed so much flavor in such a tiny location.

It's all so good that it's difficult to pick a standout dish. The fillings are all unique, and offer a wide range of tastes, with great vegetarian options as well. And they must add crack cocaine to the Mexican street corn, one bite and you're addicted. Repeated exposure to this menu may require an intervention and a tailored 12-step program.

The tiny dining area has a unique vibe and a few tiny tables, but a nice area out back is welcoming in good weather.

Pick your meal, pick your toppings, pick your salsa, pick your adjectives: bombtastic, ridiculous, off the hook, or even a palindrome: WOW.

Just stop reading and go there. You can...
