HELLO TACO — Restaurant in Plantation

A couple of weekends ago, I was only in town for one night before going on a cruise with my family. I wanted to try something local, and ordered Hello Taco through Uber Eats. This was one of the most disappointing Mexican food experiences. If you order through Uber the 4 tacos cost $20 and you still have to pay the service fees. If I am spending $25+ on tacos, then I shouldn't be getting meat that is dry and bland. Had I known this was going to be my experience I would have ordered Chipotle instead. The chicken and al pastor were subpar. The Al pastor lacked any robust flavor. The cilantro was more flavorful than the Al pastor. The chicken had color to show you it was cooked in some kind of seasoning, but it was dry and underwhelming. The steak was decent and the shrimp was okay, at best, which is saying a lot since you get maybe one or two pieces of shrimp cut up into one taco. The tortillas were just soggy and fell apart. The rice and beans were one of the worst I have ever eaten. Canned beans from the store taste better than the mess that was given to me and my family. The rice was undercooked and lacked any flavor. When I hear a crunch eating rice, you know it is terrible. You can get rice that tastes better from an Uncle Ben's packet at the store, and it will be cheaper too. Finally, $14 for chips and Guac. The Guac was probably the best thing in our entire order which was a disappointment when paired with stale and, yet again, bland chips.

If you are ever passing through this area, or if you are one of the people going through the port because of a cruise, do NOT eat here if it is your only night to eat food local to this area. Especially through Uber, do not order from this place unless you want to waste an unjustifiable amount of money To say this place serves authentic Mexican cuisine is borderline disgraceful to the many other restaurants or food trucks who don't try to drain your wallet with...

I heard so much about this place and I finally order some food to give it a try. I was terrible disappointed. I would rate lower but the chicken, rice and beans (Even though I got very little) saved them.

I order 4 tacos w/rice and beans (2 steak, 1 shrimp and 1 chicken). First the tacos were barely filled, I could 6 pieces of steak in my taco, the shrimp taco seem to a couple of more shrimp, and the chicken had a little less then the shirmp. The steak had no flavor, I had to add salsa to give it some sort of flavor. The Shirmp was ok but still need to had salsa to kick up the flavor. The Chicken was by far the most flavorful of the 3 porteins.

I order chimichanga for work the next day but because the portions were so small I went ahead and tried the Chimichanga (Chicken) it was also very small, the size of a burrito from Taco Bell. But it was tasteful again it had the chicken in it so I believe that is the reason for it tasted good.

The sides (rice and beans) were rather small portions. They tasted good but again the portions were small.

Maybe the portions are better in the resturant but if you ask me if I would go, I would highly likly pass.

If you go here I suggest the chicken, I would pass on the others unless you have a qulity salsa to include to assist in pumping...

Hello Taco serves authentic mexican street food in a truck in Fort Lauderdale. Their menu includes tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. They also have deals throughout the week depending on the day ($10 for 4 tacos on Tuesdays for example).

Though this sounds appealing, my experiences there have been mediocre. The food truck is located in a shady parking lot in front of a barbershop where people are hanging out. Both times I have been there, there was a drunk man walking around getting too close to our group making us feel uncomfortable. Along with this, the people working the truck do not speak english so it is hard to communicate what I want off their menu. Since I am vegetarian, I need to customize parts of my order and the lady working the front would not change the meat to beans until 10 minutes of pleading. They have limited seating and have no shade to sit under, so be prepared to take your order home.

When you do get the right order, though, the food tastes great. I've gotten vegetarian tacos with beans, cheese, fajitas, and pico de gallo and they are truly authentic. I just do not know if they are worth the hassle to get them.

This place has potential to be better and I hope they improve by the next time...
