Taco Place — Restaurant in New York

I’m from TX and I’m Mexican. I used to love this place even if it was mediocre. Came back to visit after 10 yrs away & the quality has gone down immensely. They don’t use jack cheese in their jack cheese and shrimp quesadillas anymore but the menu claims it’s jack cheese they use. They use cheddar which doesn’t pair well. And they skimp on all the ingredients so your taco isn’t even half filled. The shrimp has little to no seasoning & is kinda dry or rubbery, whereas it used to taste buttery & gently salted & soft . The rice is very bland and not worth eating. Tastes nothing like Mexican rice. The tortillas are too hard/toasty & thin & not fluffy & doughy anymore. They used to have yummy buttery tasting shrimp, jack cheese in tacos & soft fluffy doughy tortilla. Idk what happened. Hopefully they see this & improve because I used to love going here. I was very hungry & ordered twice from here recently in hopes it was a one time bad experience. Nope.

I will say the staff is nice & the lady who cooks & answers phone has a friendly smile so that is great. Food is made fast too.

But plz go back to making soft fluffy tacos not these thin, partially toasted flour tortillas. Plz use white jack cheese & improve shrimp.

I think because reviews show it’s mostly non Mexicans eating this, the reviews make it seem food is so tasty or at least average but I disagree. It’s not cheap either when a tiny barely half filled taco is $5

. I know the economy is hard tho so maybe they can’t afford to not skimp…and for that I understand& wish them the best. I have empathy for restaurants suffering. but it sucks all the same. I will only eat there when desperate because there is no tex mex where i live so I travel here and they’re the only place. I know that does Jack cheese and shrimp soft tacos.

So if you’re dying for tex, then ok go. It’s why I went & may order again. But it will be a while before I do because it’s just not what...

I've ordered takeout and delivery from this place several times. I can't say it's the best Tex-Mex food I've had, but it's consistently good and reasonably priced.

I've had their platters, enchiladas, tacos, and quesadillas, and they're all great. Their grilled steak in particular stands out, regardless of which dish it's added to. It's seasoned well and has the perfect texture. Expensive Tex-Mex restaurants have a hard time matching the steak. The only criticism I might have about their food is that it isn't exactly what you would expect if you wanted authentic Tex-Mex, but it's delicious, so I don't mind.

This restaurant has seating, but it's a depressing-looking place, so you're better off with takeout or delivery. Their ordering process could be improved though. Their online menus, on Yelp or otherwise, are a small subset of their full menus. I'd definitely like to see quesadillas added.

They do a good job of delivering. I got my food in 30 minutes, somewhat faster than...

Awesome local Tex-Mex place! :D

I tried it on my way home on the later side around 9:30 PM instead of going to the Taco Bell chain and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes! The owners were pleasant as well.

I got 3 of the Supreme Chili (ground beef) tacos and they were so filled to the brim definitely worth it. Will be coming again :)

Update: 9 months later and I still look forward to getting their food on my way home...
