Great small taco shop right on Route 8. Friendly staff and delicious food. They offer takeout and online ordering as well, which makes this a great pick up and go spot.
The Street Torta (Pollo Y Chorizo) is amazing! The flavors come together so nicely, it's definitely one of the best around. They also have great salsa, enchiladas and tacos. I'm so glad I took a chance on this cute little taco shop. It's very authentic.
I tell you what this place was fantastic, I come in not really knowing what to expect because it's in sort of tiny strip mall and there isn't a lot of signage letting you know it's there visible from rt.8 and I never would have noticed it had it not been for google maps recommending it to me because usually you are driving as fast as possible to beat that light by the gas station.
Anyway the food was amazing and we ordered nearly everything from the menu, we are taking about $150+ for two people (we had loads of left overs of course)
Everything was got was great tasting and exceeding what I had expected. The taste was authentic and the service was great as well.
They do have a small seating area which was empty when we got there and nobody ever sat down except for my wife and I. This seems mainly as a carry out joint and there were plenty of people coming in to pick up orders.
Cost wise they are in the middle and had a recent price hike due, what I suspect, is inflation and the cost of food going up but it was still a good value for what you got.
This is an easy repeat for me as it's on the way to my parents so I will be back for sure.
We ordered a rice, bean & cheese burrito (cheese is orange, not white), chorizo taco in soft shell (you get 2 shells when you order soft), ground beef taco in a light and crunchy hard shell. All super good, reasonably priced, and served in 5 minutes. We also got a horchata (rice, milk, cinnamon) beverage - major thumbs up on that too. We're saving a little to put in our coffee later!
