Taco Tpke (Turnpike) — Restaurant in Town of Ramapo

Taco TPKE is a spotless, professional restaurant in Sloatsburg just steps from the bus stop. Prices are fair and clearly posted (3-taco combo $15; singles $5.50; shrimp +$3), and I appreciate that prices include tax/card with a small cash discount. The food tastes home-cooked—in a good way: seasoned but not oversalted, and nothing came off as loaded with additives.

What I ate: Chicken Tinga was juicy and well-spiced; Birria was rich and satisfying. Camaron adobado had good flavor, though the guac/cheese were heavy—ask for “light toppings” if you want the shrimp to shine.

So it's nice and exciting to finally have a local food establishment that I actually really like and is super close to Tuxedo! Again a must try- you will really...

The food was delicious and authentic, way better than a chain restaurant. The bowl had a touch of lime in it which was very nice, the avocado was very fresh. The building inside is very nice looking, you can look at the kitchen which was very clean. My only complaint is that every time I went to order and pay they never had spare change to give back. On a busy Saturday night not sure why this would be? Please rectify this issue for the future. Still rating 5 stars, but being that you get charged more if you pay by card, they should have ample rolls of spare change available for customers. Other than that it was great. I would for...
