    Out door dining
    Arlene S.

    Was in the mood for tacos. Forgot it was Taco Tuesday. The place was mobbed. Tacos came out very slowly and I found them disappointing. The fish tacos were meh, the piece of Cod was thin as a finger. The $2.00 tacos were a better deal.

    Crispy Fish Tacos

    I would gladly travel for these tacos. I've visited Central Taco and Tequila a few times over the years, and I'm always very pleased with it. On my last visit, I was surprised and delighted by some new seasonal tacos on the menu (but I had to go with my fave - The Crispy Fish). It was nice to know there was a veggie option. Service was great, as usual. The only potential issue is that there was a DJ, and the volume from that made it a little difficult for us to communicate with our waitress and each other. But maybe that's just a Friday thing.

    Avocado Crunch salad w/ chicken
    Kristina K.

    I came here with a group of five for lunch and we were seated right away. Walking in we got to see the outdoor seating area that is set up with plenty of tables, lights, and even games. The inside of the restaurant has a casual vibe, as there was a bar and TVs at the front of the restaurant. When we were seated we were given waters and chips and salsa for the table. Later on, our server also gave us a pitcher of water to refill our waters ourselves. I ordered the Avocado Crunch salad and also added chicken. My expectations were not very high, considering the restaurant specializes in tacos, though I loved my salad! The chicken was cooked and seasoned well, the vegetables were fresh, and the dressing was delicious. Two other people in our group also had the Avocado Crunch salad and we all agreed it was excellent. One touch I loved, was when one member in our group asked for a box for her tacos, the box that was given to her was specially made for holding tacos! I would have to come back again and try more items on the menu in order to raise my rating, but overall we had a great experience!

    What can I say, Central Taco is my new fave place! I hosted a small group and everything was on point. Manager Mary Kate and our server Kate (plus several others) made sure our table was happy and well-fed and thirsts quenched. Some menu highlights: Blood orange margaritas Caramel apple margaritas Guac Chicken dip Crispy fish tacos Coconut shrimp tacos Chocolate churros Margarita cheesecake mousse ‍

    came here for blueberry lemon margarita and got the avocado tacos. the tacos were delicious and the drinks were tasty. it was decorated so cute in the restaurant for christmas and the service was quick and friendly.

    Shrimp & Chorizo Tacos
    Vivian R.

    We went here for the first time last night and had a great experience! There was no wait and we were seated outside. They had a DJ playing music starting at 6pm for their "Fiesta Friday". They started us with complimentary chips and salsa. For drinks we had the strawberry pineapple margarita and the jalapeño margarita. The strawberry pineapple margarita was good but it wasn't strained enough, so it was very thick. For tacos, we ordered the shrimp coconut tacos and the shrimp and chorizo tacos. Both were very tasty! We loved this outdoor setting and the tacos and would highly recommend!

    We enjoyed a meal here since it was a dine and donate for the library. It was fun to try the margarita flight but it was confusing that the menu specifically said to ask about making your margarita into a mocktail, which I did and they said they couldn't do it? Also, the tacos took over 1/2 hour to come out. However, the salsa and quesadilla was very good.

    Quesabirria Tacos Al Pastor Tacos
    Amelia C.

    Margaritas were good. Guac and chips were good. Would not come here for tacos. We got the Quesabirria Tacos and Al Pastor Tacos. Very dry. The birria consomé was thick and tasted a bit like bbq sauce. Definitely not authentic tacos if that's what you're looking for.

    Carnitas Tacos
    Emily M.

    We stopped in on a Saturday and were seated right away. It was a chilly day out so we opted to sit inside even though they have a heated deck. Our server was sweet and we noticed the bar to be relatively empty. Our tacos were good and they have gluten free options on the menu! The drinks were fair, nothing crazy. They had popular sweet options. Probably would stop here on a whim but I wouldn't make a special trip here. For the area it's decent "mexican" food. TLDR; good chain-y mexican food. The have specials throughout the week, tv's inside, and outdoor seating for when it's nice out.

    I had absolutely no idea there was a Tacoria this close to one of my family home locations until I…read morespotted it on the map. My very first Tacoria experience was at the Edgewater, NJ location. Needless to say, I was hooked. I've tried so much on their menu across multiple locations, met some of the most genuinely kind staff, and I just keep coming back. When I say my man & I have Tacoria often, I mean it - the quality never disappoints no matter which location we go to. PARKING The parking lot is on the smaller side, but I pulled in around 4:30 PM on a Friday and had zero trouble finding a spot. ATMOSPHERE This location is absolutely gorgeous. You can really feel small bits and pieces of Philadelphia woven into the space; I genuinely loved seeing that reflected here. Tacoria always brings an amazing atmosphere no matter where you go, and this location is no exception. There is also outdoor seating available when the weather allows it. I could have easily eaten in and felt a little bittersweet about not doing so. That said, the inside is beautiful. MENU & FOOD Since my man is usually the one ordering for us, I had to take a moment to recall our go to order. The big menu board is a lot to take in at once, so I appreciated that Justin, the guy working the counter, handed me one of the smaller menus to look through. That made it so much easier to find what I usually get. I ordered the burrito box with Brussels sprouts and carne asada (double the protein), the Nutella nachos (which are my absolute favorite, they're a must), and an agua fresca. I swear if Tacoria started selling Agua Fresca by the gallon I would buy it! Fair warning: I am never fully able to finish a whole burrito box in one sitting. I can usually get through about three quarters of it, but honestly that is not a complaint at all because Tacoria tastes just as delicious the next day warmed up. For the agua fresca, I went with my usual horchata, but there are three options available: horchata, limonada, and guava and basil. My boyfriend's go-to is the limonada that he mixes with the guava. They also have regular refreshments available, but if you're new here, please try an agua fresca, you will not regret it. For sauces, they have to go containers to fill up at your disgression, I loaded up on salsa verde, habanero, smoky roja, and Valentina. I just love building out my burrito box with literally all of them. For a Polish girl, I LOVE SPICY FOOD. LOCATION I originally knew the other south jersey location, but that one has always been a bit too far out for me. According to Justin, this location opened up in August 2025. Therefore, knowing that this one is so close now is genuinely dangerous for my wallet; I can already see myself ordering here way too often, and I am completely fine with that. Tacoria started in New Brunswick and has been growing and expanding ever since, and I'm thrilled to see it making its way into this area. More people deserve to have access to this food. ALL IN ALL, I have to give a huge shoutout to Justin, because he genuinely made this first-time experience at this location so special. We were talking back and forth while I looked through the menu, and he was warm, helpful, and just the kind of person you're happy to interact with. At the end of it all, he comped my agua fresca because it was my first visit to this location, and honestly, that kind of generosity and hospitality says everything about the culture of this place. I went back in after I had already walked out just to get his name so I could mention him here, because that level of customer service deserves to be recognized. Tacoria is always going to be my go-to for a feel-good, delicious, well-made meal when I want to treat myself. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is always amazing, and the people make every single visit worthwhile. If you have never been, I cannot recommend it enough. Just go.

She was dealing with a pretty busy room, so kudos to her for remaining calm. I'm so happy they are able to offer a lunch special even on a Saturday. I went for the $12 nacho salad which came with a side of rice and beans. Fantastic. But my favorite part of the meal was actually the complimentary salsa and chips. HANDS DOWN AMONG THE BEST I'VE EVER EATEN. The salsa was killer, made from scratch, a nice tart tangy kick. The chips were hand made, nice and thick to hold the heft of the salsa and perfectly salted. Honestly, I could've slurped the salsa up on its own. I want to come back just for that!
