Taco Express Food Store — Restaurant in Perth Amboy

i used to love coming to this place pre covid-2021. prices were really good back then. i revisited today with a friend and got what i would’ve gotten before (combo 5, an al pastor torta with fries and a canned soda) the torta was dry, fries were okay…. we also ordered tacos al pastor. the meat was dry, tortillas seemed a bit stale or hard i don’t know. it just wasn’t the experience i would’ve expected from a place i used to love. my friend got a beef quesadilla and the meat also looked dry… the service was mid. she took our order, dropped our food, came once to ask if the food was good and then when it came to getting the check i had to basically chase this woman down for my check and a to go box. there was no one else in the store besides these two older men that the other waitresses was assisting.

Definitely in my top 3 Taco spots. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, and the MEAT (Al Pastor aka Pork) was FANTASTIC!

I'll be going here again. Maybe today. I just gotta walk about 30 minutes in 23-degree weather. It was worth it before, and will be worth it again...

Don't forget to tip the waitresses! They have bills to pay and...

I was so excited to try this place for the first time but it really didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered a burrito, 6 tacos, and an order of flautas to go. The waitress forgot to put the flautas into the system so when I got home we didn’t have the flautas in the bag. Since they didn’t ring them up we weren’t charged for them which was a good thing. The food we did get was seasoned well but the meats in both the burrito and the tacos were overcooked and super dry, especially the steak and chicken tacos. The waitresses were somewhat friendly but could’ve done a better job at taking the order correctly. When I called about the missing flautas she was apologetic and offered to make it up to me next time I go. Unfortunately it was a bad first impression and I probably...
