Delicious, well priced and consistent. I've tried the flat grilled chicken, homemade chicken and grilled beef soft tacos. They are perfectly seasoned with the cilantro, onions, melted cheese and green sauce. Their tres leche is so good.

We order a lot on our lunch break at work. The service is always super quick and prices are reasonable. The tacos are always super flavorful and yummy! I usually get either the chicken or chorizo soft tacos, which are both always consistent. The combination platters are pretty good too. You get a lot of food for a decent price.

Food is great. Got hung up on tonight for trying to figure out how why they only put salsa in the bags (sometimes). I sometimes order 12 tacos and they put a small red/green salsa in. I have to call and ask if they could put more and they've told me multiple times to put it in the notes BUT I've done that. Still didn't get it. I've called & that's the only way they end up in the bag. Yes I was overreacting tonight but I shouldn't have been hung up on and ignored. I'd rather she of told me to F-off then to hang up. Before she hung up she told me they don't hoard salsa and not everyone wants the salsa. So I asked if they could put something online so I could order it cause I didn't mind paying. She said I need to put it in notes which I told her didn't work the first 10 times I ordered so it wouldn't now and that's why I'm calling. So if you want good tacos without salsa this is the place. read more

Why can I not give these ppl ZERO STARS? So, I ordered two chicken quesadilla COMBO dinners. The total was $34 which is insane. When my husband brought the food home, it was just two small quesadillas. This is the second time they have done something like this. I let the first incident go and gave them a second chance. I called and, instead of a full refund which would have been the right thing to do, they gave me a partial refund. To make it worse, the quesadillas were bland and tasteless. And they were thrown away. Do not waste your precious money or time here. They are waaayyy OVERPRICED and the food isn't good. GO TO TACO BELL INSTEAD. read more

Tried this place today and had 2 beef tacos with lettuce, tomato and cheese, and hot sauce on the side. I was really disappointed! The problem was the very poor beef, seems like it was ground too far, and it had a horrible no flavor impact to it? It seems something weird was mixed into the beef. Really dissapointed. Just use 100% ground beef and season it! If it's moist all the better, cook some flavored liquids into so the taco as a whole has some flavor! read more

It was 4.99 each plus 2.00 for the blueberry and/or chips then another 2.00 each for the toppings. Very deceiving when you look at the menu and are ordering a short stack with toppings. Buyer beware before you order. It was really tacky and made what was supposed to be a fun memorable occasion a disappointment. No where else we have ever gone have they not honored the short stack price and or charged extra for the type of pancake. Toppings yes but not the type of pancake never. We will not be returning to BP again

$12.99 for this measly sandwich. Over priced not enough food for the price. Never again.

The workers were so rude and have attitude to these little people of color kids but seemed to be nice to the white old men, the girls wanted to write their signature on the wood like everyone else and the worker gave the attitude but then the customers behind them wrote on it read more

Phenomenal all around!!…read more This is a cute lil outdoor food truck sorta situation right on the MA/RI line. They have a big parking lot & a nice deck outside with picnic tables to enjoy your food. The man working was so patient with us, answering all of our questions & taking all of our orders. I ordered 3 tacos (pastor, carnitas, & pollo) & a mandarin Jarritos for $14. We were in a large-ish group & all 5 of our orders came out within 15 minutes or so. Everything was PHENOMENAL. The verde sauce was so tasty & refreshing, I had to douse all of my tacos in it. I can't wait to come back again when I'm in the area - so affordable, quick, & tasty.

The food is fresh and made to order, so don't expect a 30 second turn around. I had the maiz Al pastor and my kid had the chicken harina (gringo style). Both were phenomenally fresh complete with tender proteins, crisp toppings and soft tortillas. The flavors were authentic and I felt like the prices were reasonable for what you got. The man that took my order was kind and helpful. The parking lot is a little small and awkward to navigate but there's several off street spots available. There's some picnic tables if you want to eat there but no inside dining that I could discern.

The menu is large and there are several types of meat, as well as a few different types of tacos. Tacos are always a good choice here - they aren't the best around, but they are pretty good! I usually get asada tacos with beans and rice, and both of those sides are pretty good as well. Service is quick and I'd recommend this location.

I understand mistakes happen, so I asked for a replacement and waited for them to correct it. Unfortunately, the replacement they brought out was also burned, dry, and not enjoyable. I appreciate restaurants that try to fix mistakes, but sending out the same issue twice was disappointing. I hope they take this feedback and improve their quality control.

Choices include burritos, tacos, bowls, and quesadillas. At the time of my review, burritos start at about $11 and they are loaded with all the toppings your heart could desire. As a vegetarian option, in addition to black beans, they have tofu and grilled veggies--yay! You also have three rice choices: white, brown, or Spanish. Their hot sauce is golden! The staff warned me before they added it to my burrito. It is fiery--they use habaneros, so the heat will sneak up on you! Mangos are in the hot sauce too for a touch of sweetness to round out the heat. One of my fave hot sauces I've had in a long time!
