TacoRito of Plainsboro — Restaurant in Plainsboro Township

TLDR: Fast & casual, delicious flavors, huge portions.

We ordered at the kiosk upon entry, opting for a Birria Rice Bowl and a Steak Burrito, both piled high with 7 toppings each. We also added a large drink and chips & salsa. The total came out to around $29.

We chose a table to sit at and waited for our food. The workers behind the counter finished our items individually and brought them out to us. I was surprised the chips and drink were not offered first as an appetizer, but it didn't matter too much. The birria brisket was delicious. It was aromatic, tender, and juicy. The steak was also flavorful, with a charred/smoky taste to it, and juicy. Each entree was packed with meat, so much so that every bite had a good amount. The burrito was well wrapped and packed full with the variety of other toppings I asked for. The chips were crispy and the salsa had a good flavor mixture of pepper, tomato, and cilantro. The toppings available to be chosen included cilantro, lettuce, cabbage, cabbage slaw, pineapple, corn, tomato, onion, pico de gallo, shredded cheese mix, guac (extra charge), crushed chips (extra charge), and a few salsas & sauces. We also were able to choose our rice (spicy or garlic).

For the amount you are paying, the portions are huge. There was absolutely no skimping on the meat and any of the toppings. Chipotle by comparison seems like a joke. Unfortunate that this joint isn't in more cities.

The atmosphere is unremarkable. The seating and layout is meant for a casual and quick meal out. There was plenty of seating when we arrived ~7pm on a Friday night. I appreciated the napkin dispensers at every table. I would absolutely recommend coming here for some very filling & tasty...

New to the area and saw this and wanted to try something new. Walked in and the workers didn’t seem too friendly, even after I said it’s my first time here, they pointed to a menu and told me to order at the screen. So I went to the kiosk to order. Got the birria quesadilla with side of guac and chips.

It was delivered quickly to my table, however it was a soggy mess and in a drenched in a plate of sauce. I’m not a Mexican food expert, but I assumed the quesadilla would be crispy… are they supposed to be soggy?

Pros: large portions and quick service. Chips and guac were good.

Cons: quality control of food needs to better managed… and flavors need to be improved.

Would recommend frying the quesadilla longer so it’s not a soggy mush… and seasoning the meat more…I left most of what you see in the photo…almost $25 spent…don’t think I’ll come back.

Also, this type of area requires more interactions, so have the staff engage with customers to explain the menu and what’s offered. It can be what makes or breaks your business…a friendly staff environment makes people want to come back and...

The food at this location was near flavorless. I ordered the fried bites shrimp, shrimp enchiladas rojo without cheese and without sour cream. The only thing that was half decent were the beans that came with the enchiladas. After driving home from ordering in the restaurant, I realized they put cheese in the enchiladas. Thankfully, I guess, the cheese was glopped on and I was able to separate it from the shrimp without much effort. The photo shows the cheese I pulled out. It was not pleasant, however. For close to $30 and a trip, it was not worth it. The quality of all of the items was poor. The customer service was fine and the ambiance in the restaurant was okay, minus the loud music. It's in a nice location. I've been to the two other locations and the food at those locations tasted good. I won't be back to...
