Wow! This neighborhood desperately needed a versatile restaurant like this.
I was walking on Nostrand Ave yesterday and noticed tacobees. After checking the place out I decided to try the food and was not disappointed. The format here is similar to chipotle but that's where the comparison stops because the food is considerably better. FLAVOR is the difference maker here. I tried the steak, grilled chicken and honey chipotle chicken tacos. Each meat had a distinct flavor profile an not bland tasting like other similar places. The veggies and guac were FRESH. While I was there I saw them constantly swapping out toppings to maintain the freshness. I loved the fact that their habanero sauce was actually HOT. My tacos were 5/5.
What I appreciate most about tacobees is the value. Nowadays it seems like if you don't spend $15 in a restaurant your going to still be hungry after you eat. Tacobees is giving you 3 tacos filled with meat for around $11. By the time I finished the second taco I was already full. I got my monies worth and more which means everything in this economy.
I'll definitely be back to tacobees, especially since I realized they have loaded fries that I have to try. This business is a nice addition to a community could benefit from high quality food at a...
Read moreI gave Tacobee’s four stars mainly because of my first experience with their nachos. You’d expect a decent amount of cheese to coat the chips, but they used this tiny ladle and barely spread any on — it probably covered less than a quarter of my nachos. That was disappointing.
However, I still rated everything else top marks — the staff, atmosphere, and overall food quality. The staff is genuinely polite and friendly, the food is flavorful, and the vibe inside is really nice. That one nacho experience just had me like ugh.
That said, I’d be willing to try the nachos again. The first time I had them was shortly after they opened, so I’m curious if they’re still being stingy with the cheese or if they’re more generous now — hopefully at least two scoops next time!
This time around, I ordered a burrito bowl with half grilled chicken and half birria, Mexican rice, pinto beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, queso, cilantro, and their cilantro sauce. It was so good. My boyfriend got tacos and tried honey chicken, steak, and regular chicken in a 2-2-2 combo style.
For both our meals it came to about $45!
The food hasn’t missed yet, and I’ll definitely keep...
Read moreI've been meaning to give Tacobees the shout-out it deserves after making it a regular in my takeout rotation. Their menu has been a consistent winner for my partner and I.
The steak is my top pick, but the shredded and grilled chicken options are just as great. The meat's reliable flavor and cooking precision keep me coming back.
While the soft tortillas are nice, the hard shells are the real MVP, adding that satistying crunch. The cilantro Verde sauce strikes a great balance between cilantro freshness and a subtle kick. My partner swears by the shrimp tacos and veggie quesadilla, and l've yet to hear a complaint.
The homemade tortilla chips are a delightful touch - warm, perfectly salted, and a great match with their queso, which arrives just right, melting in your mouth. Bonus discovery: all their meats are halal, adding to their inclusivity.
The only downside is the wait for online orders. It's a testament to their popularity. though, so plan accordingly. Tacobees has definitely earned its spot as our...
