They recently released a new menu and I was super excited for it but most of the dishes fell short as well as the customer service! The one standout was their take on a Crunchwrap supreme (their take from Taco Bell and it was good! The chalupas were burnt and hardly had any meat in both of them The chicken was good but when I mentioned that it was overly fried the man behind the counter did not care at all and just looked at me. I just ate the little bit of meat out of it, couldn't even eat the shell! Not worth $8 for one! The other taco was a chicken mole and it wasn't bad but for most street tacos they give you two tortillas to hold it all together. Only one and it all fell apart. Will not be returning! read more

It was adequate but nothing to write home about. Mainly I question the value. We were visiting from DC, which is objectively a more expensive area, and yet the price per taco was higher than individual tacos at our favorite taco chain in DC, especially for the shrimp and, especially curiously, the cauliflower. And then the portions of shrimp and cauliflower in those tacos was pretty disappointing. Also, very fried. Nachos and quesadillas seemed like a better value than tacos so, while my husband got the aforementioned tacos, I got the nachos without any added protein. Much better value - huge portion at a small price. Some odd choices though. There was an appropriate amount of cheese (beer cheese, which seemed appropriate given its location inside a beer hall) but a really small amount of other toppings (beans, corn, pico I think?) relative to the huge amount of raw jalapeño slices. The dish relies really heavily on jalapeño for flavor and freshness, and I like jalapeño, but these woud be more appropriately described as "jalapeño and cheese on chips" than nachos, IMO. If you love raw jalapeño you'll be in heaven but for those who are accustomed to jalapeños being an accent, this is A LOT. It was like the primary ingredient after chips, even above cheese. All in all, it's fine if you're in the area and want tacos or need food with your beer but is it somewhere I would go out of my way to visit? Probably not. read more

Join for their electric taco experience with a full flavor rush of tacos. I parked in a nearby lot and learned that the digital parking pass is monitored until 10 p.m. However, the rate is cheap for the day. The restaurant is located inside the precarious beer hall towards the back. There is plenty of seating and food options. I ordered the spicy beef and camarones (shrimp). The shrimp was my favorite and the beef isn't too spicy at all. The flavors were flavorful and yummy. I really enjoyed the frozen lemonade as well which had a good texture and frozen appeal. This is a great spot for a few quick bites and is open late until 11 p.m. read more

The tacos and queso are so good! We haven't tried the corn elote yet but it looks delish. Don't skip out on the churro, that's the kids favorite. Staff is always nice too which makes ordering easy read more

We dined here last night - overall experience was great. The atmosphere, the games and great craft beer were exactly what we were looking for. My husband had one of the best lagers he's had! We ordered from electric circus and our food was good but cold. We had the carne asada tacos, a chicken tinga taco, two street corn and an order of nachos. The flavor of the food was exceptional, it was just quite cold and it really wasn't busy at all. The nachos were great (probably our favorite), the carne asada tacos were better than the chicken tinga, and the street corn was tasty. read more

This is one of our favorite places to end a day's historical walking tour of Williamsburg (just be mindful of hours of operation as they may vary from the brewery). Located inside Precarious Beer Project, this is a taco stand/truck with notable vegetarian options! For the meat eaters, we ordered the ancho rubbed chicken wings which were outstanding/OMG good according to my husband and daughter (and nut, egg allergy free). For the rest of us, we started with ECT nachos - the beer cheese was addictive and the sliced jalapeños mild and flavorful. The cauliflower tacos were a big hit and went back for a 4th taco - curry and golden raisins were such an unexpected and delicious combo. The salsas were also surprisingly well paired - carrot ginger (I think) and a green garlic salsa. (Lots of really good thought went into this menu!) My younger daughter was very happy with her quesadilla if you have someone looking for a simpler meal. Only miss was an off menu black bean taco (someone in our party loves black beans). Excellent experience, friendly staff. read more

Food is great for a quick bite at the brewery. Super convenient location and a pairs well with the beer. They were out of fish tacos when I went (I was fasting from meat bc it was a Friday in lent) so I had to get the black bean tacos. read more

We had a day with nothing planned and decided to head to Williamsburg to enjoy the decorations. Since we got there right at lunch we headed over to the Precarious Beer Hall to grab some tacos. That was great choice. Between three of us we had chips and salsa (the salsa was bland), and then catfish, chorizo, ground beef, carnitas and chicken tacos. The only one of the tacos that wasn't great was the gringa taco - nothing wrong with it, just a little plain. My favorite was the chorizo - spicy and delicious. And the carrot ferment hot sauce was . We also had some beer and cider. Please note - we got there right at 11:30 and it wasn't too busy. When we went by around 3 it was mobbed! read more

Electric Circus Taco Bar - Spicy taco! - Tacos Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

This place was on our list to try. I'm glad we had the opportunity to check them out. Electric Circus Taco Bar is located inside Precarious Beer Hall. There are a few other places you can eat at inside. Seating is plentiful. There is a small outdoor seating area, couch seating and table seating throughout. Most of the tacos are $4.95. Pretty reasonable. The beef bulgogi was my absolute favorite! The flavors blended well together. We also had some standard beef tacos, pork carnitas, shrimp, pork belly, papas bravas, nachos and a churro. The nachos were fantastic as well. Staff was helpful, patient and attentive. They were definitely working hard to crank out the food. Overall, they are pretty good. The area is a tad loud and overwhelming especially on a high traffic day. read more

We love street tacos, and we found some creatively prepared at the Electric Circus Taco Bar, which is located in the Precarious Beer Hall in Williamsburg's Merchants Square. The prices are good, and the atmosphere is lots of fun. They have all types of games to play--like pinball machines, skee-ball, basketball, virtual driving, and more. We ordered and really enjoyed four tacos: catfish, chicken, beef, and smashville hot chicken. The catfish was fried with cabbage and red onion. The grilled chicken was surprisingly cold, though flavorful with pico de gallo, lettuce and cheese. The beef was pretty standard for a beef taco. The smashville was like a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. So yummy!! You can choose from corn or flour tortillas. They also have a station where they offer two salsas--both of which were hot and spicy. You could order any of their many beers and ciders. They also had wine, margaritas, and sodas. Plus, there was a water bottle (or cup) refill station in the restaurant. We went on a January afternoon when William & Mary wasn't back in session yet, and it was pretty quiet. It's usually hopping and busy. They also have outdoor tables with fire pits. In addition to the taco stand, they have a smashburgers counter. We plan to try the burgers next time. read more

I stopped in for a quick bite and I had the fish and carne asada tacos. They're a bit too small but they're amazing. I'm not sure what's the sauce they use for the tacos but it's tasty and goes well with cotija cheese. The small size of tacos is the only thing keeping me away from 5 stars. I noticed they have a tacos Tuesday special - $10 for 2 tacos, chips and beer which is fantastic deal. If I was local, I would come regularly. read more

Electric Circus Taco Bar - Fish and carne asada tacos, really small and tasty as hell - Tacos Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Williamsburg Virginia offers a plethora of food options for locals and visitors alike. Of course, as is usually the case, the locals have the advantage of knowing the best spots. While 'best' is a matter of opinion based on a multitude of factors, I hope to give you an accurate picture of what this restaurant is like, thus allowing you to decide whether to eat there. Firstly, the food was fast. Keep in mind though that my wife and I went around 2pm and, thus, there were not a ton of people. Evenso, we have been here before when it was packed and I fairly clearly recall that our food came out in a timely fashion then as well. Our tacos were also very good. As the pictures of the menus indicate, there are some flavorful options. My one regret is that both of their hot sauce options had soybean oil (at least at the time of my last visit) which I must avoid. Thus, I could not try either. Still, the tacos were stand-alone delicious and, therefore, I will definitely be visiting again. The food was worth it. Lastly, the atmosphere is similar to an arcade/family-geared bar/restaurant - definitely a jovial ambience; keep in mind that it is generally not suitable for quiet conversation unless you find outdoor seating since it can get pretty loud in there. The inside offers a bar with multiple beer choices as well for those that drink. The service was good, the ambience fun; the food amazing! read more

If you are looking for a quiet lunch or dinner, don't come looking here. This place will smack you in the face with sound and lights as soon as you walk through the Precarious Beer Hall doors! Give the food a chance and it, too, will smack you in the face! We stopped in around 1 on a Saturday after walking through Colonial Williamsburg. They have signs at the doors to let you know the place is essentially a free-for-all. Find your own table, order beers at the bar and food at the taco stand, which is hard to miss with bright neon signs. They offer a variety of tacos (which you can order as a bowl), sides, sweets and burritos. I opted for the Ropa Vieja (pulled beef) with rice, black beans, queso fresco and cilantro. Hubby had the Cheeseburger in Paradise burrito, which was served with tortilla chips. They have a salsa and utensil bar in a corner near the stand. My bowl was fantastic - full of flavor with just a little bit of heat, my preferred level. Hubby literally called the burrito "the best I've ever had." Our only critique is that the chips were way too salty. The atmosphere itself is great if you want entertainment during your visit - tons of arcade games, air hockey, basketball. It was definitely loud and may be a little overwhelming for some, but the food is phenomenal. We would definitely come back if in the area! read more

Perfect idea for a big, family friendly brewery space like Precarious. Order at the counter then find a spot inside or outside on the wrap around patio area while you wait. We tried the fried chicken, fried rockfish, seared tuna, and carnitas tacos. We enjoyed all of them but the fried options were our favorites. Also enjoyed the chicken quesadilla; chicken was grilled fresh. Would definitely come back next time we're in Williamsburg and will try beers next time. read more

Food is flavorful and excellent! Service is just ok. Cashier is super unfriendly every time we go there.

This place looked like a food hall with a brewery and it was Tuesday so they had a special: 2 tacos, tortilla chips and salsa, and a beer for $10. We went in early so it was pretty empty but the bartender said it was about to get really busy as we were leaving. Everything was good, there was just one taco we didn't enjoy as much but can't recall which ones we ordered. My daughter was able to change up the salsa for queso and that was very delicious. We actually enjoyed that more than the salsa so I would recommend that. read more

If you like craft beer, delicious tacos, and a fun social atmosphere, stop reading this review and head to Electric Circus now. We stopped in on a whim and this place was a huge hit. Tacos were fantastic, nachos were quite good, and the beer was great. Kids loved the mini-arcade inside as well. We also played shuffleboard and almost checked out one of the board games to play while we ate, but ran out of time. The entire place is reminiscent of a small food hall so the menus are limited, but everything we got from the taco bar was delicious. read more

You have to try this place out if you are in downtown colonial Williamsburg! It's one of 3 great dinner options in the beer house / arcade. We ordered a sampling of 6-7 different tacos along with an order of nachos and everything was great. The tacos were fresh and well crafted and developed to maximize texture, flavor, and heat. The fish taco was my favorite but the sweet and crunchy texture in the pork belly was also outstanding. Their house made "Hotter Melon" salsa was fantastic although quite spicy so if you can't handle habanero type heat, I would pass. Otherwise the watermelon based salsa is a great addition. Portions are solid but it was a little pricey... although being in a vacation town it was actually pretty reasonable. We will definitely be going back next time we are in the area! read more

The Electric Circus Taco Bar is located in the Precarious Beer Hall in Merchants Square. We had some trouble locating it, but making some rounds around the block, we were able to find the entrance - HAHA! Their menu offers various street tacos, snack items (street corn, chips & salsa, etc.), desserts, and beverages (such as Jarritos and margaritas). We ordered: the Korean Pork Belly taco (which came with a sweet soy glaze, pickled carrots and cucumber slaw, and a sriracha aioli); a Stouth Braised Short Ribs taco (with a pickled carrot slaw, scallion pesto, and cilantro); and, a Nashville Hot Chicken taco (with cabbage slaw, hot pickles, and a bleu cheese dressing). The tacos came stacked with the slaw and had a good amount of meat portions within them. Out of the three, the Korean Pork Belly taco was the least favorite, as the pork belly was a little bland and didn't really taste at all 'Korean' - there really wasn't any hint of gochujang or sesame oil. The braised short ribs were so tender and fall-off-the-bone tender. The Nashville Hot Chicken, which I didn't expect much from, actually was my favorite - the chicken was crispy and juicy, but it was definitely on the spicy end! The slaw really complemented all of the tacos very well. We also tried their Electric Churro, covered with ancho chili, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and sugar - I thought the mixture that it was coated with was too thick and wasn't shaken off well - it was a little too much for me. You order up, and then you'll get a text from their when your order is ready. There are plenty of communal tables available to dine in. Most seem to pair their eats with the beer. It seems as if they also have live events - there was a local musician that made the whole dining experience so great! I'd love to try out the rest of their tacos the next time I'm in town, but this is a fresh and a great option if you're in the W-burg area! +Nashville Hot Chicken street taco +Braised Short Rib street taco +located inside the Precarious Beer Hall +parking in lots read more

Get the chorizo tacos. Thank me later. Get the guac. Thank yourself. Pretty good taco spot inside the brewery read more

This taco bar is inside a brewery in colonial Williamsburg. Each taco is sold separately and decent sized. The nachos were very large. I ordered the shrimp tacos and really liked them. The chicken with dill was really good too, as long as you enjoy tangy dill. The quesadilla is good and comes with chips, but nothing to dip them in. I wish we would have ordered a side of pico de Gallo or guac. While having our food, I was able to go get a beer from the brewery, since it's all in one large room- Cool atmosphere! read more

Oh man these tacos! We came here on a Monday, actually because everything else seemed to be closed (who knew?). But we ended up being so pleasantly surprised with the food and quick service that we were glad to have not visited one of the touristy spots that we were planning on! The taco varieties are really interesting and unique, my favorite was a balsamic fried avocado one. So fun to try their takes on a humble taco. Will definitely be back! read more

The street corn really did it for me! Nicely charred and flavorful with the cheese and salsa. The tacos were ok but a little small. There is a sauce station to the left of the counter which I missed and I wish I would've gotten some to add some flavor to the tacos. read more

Definitely could be good to catch up with a friend or bring the whole family! read more

EAT SOME TACOS in Colonial Williamsburg.... wait what? This place was a real surprise, considering all the history and the fact that everything surrounding this downtown square is period correct. What do they have... Delicious and unique tacos.. coming from California we know our tacos and these are great! A bit more then your average tacos ranging from 4.00 and up depending on the meat contained within. Some of the tacos we tried were fried chicken, chorizo, beef, Korean, tinga chicken. The Salsas were great and just the right amount of spicy. The one and only disappointment were the nachos the chips were bland as there just wasn't enough toppings to really call it nachos. Overall a great stop it has a full bar and arcade located within and is a cool vibe overall. They also have outdoor seating if that's your thing. read more

Very disappointing - this little taco "stand" is in a beer bar - very loud. We should have given to the initial impulse and found another place, but we were hot and hungry after a long day in Colonial Williamsburg. Tacos were small, overpriced, and not really that good. I had the Pork Barbacoas Tacos, she had the Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos - the pork was tasteless - her's were better. We will try something else in Williamsburg next visit. read more

This place is a good casual food option with a nice arcade and beer bar. I'd say that the flavors are okay but I wish I would've had the Seared Tuna as a bowl rather than the Ropa Vieja which ended up being just too salty mixed with everything. The Pork Belly Tacos are just okay. Nothing too grand but I'd rate it a 3.5. Overall, I think it's a 4/5 option that gives you a lot of options in this hip downtown area. read more

I was really excited to try this place, but I have to admit that the food was aggressively mediocre. We tried almost all of the tacos and they just weren't that great. I can't put my finger on it but the beef and chicken tacos were just not tasty. The quesadilla also wasn't very good. The nachos were alright, but nothing particularly special. The one taco that was decent was the tuna taco. Maybe I went on an off night, but I wouldn't come back. I do want to note that the staff were awesome and super polite and helpful. read more

I'm trying to catch up on my reviews lol. The hubs and I had visited the Christmas market in Williamsburg. Due to Covid there wasn't much venders or food. So we ventured elsewhere until we stopped in front of precarious beer project. This little spot is located inside towards the back. We had ordered a couple of beers and went to pick a seat until the bright lights of a Christmas tree lured us in. Well the smell of the food did that too lol. I ordered a smashville hot chicken taco, hubs had the super mash bra burrito, and for dessert it was the dulce de leche churro. The food came out relatively fast. My chicken was very crispy and good, but there was more deep fried batter pieces than chicken. The holler back sauce and cabbage slaw were nice compliments. I love a good crunch and tang. I ate some of the super smash bra burrito. It entailed smashville chicken, cabbage slaw, house pickles, rice, pickled black bean, hollerback sauce, and queso. This burrito was ok. There was more rice than chicken. I couldn't really taste the other ingredients with the abundance of rice rolled into the burrito. They do have a salsa bar which is great! The churro was the winner!! It was deep fried perfectly and rolled onto cinnamon sugar. No crevice was missed, and the warm dulce de leche was just wonderful. It was sweet, milky, and thick. They have taco Tuesday and wing Wednesday! So we will definitely revisit!!! read more

Good, simple tacos in a no-frills environment inside precious beer project. We got the tuna, pork, and spicy chorizo tacos. The tuna was the standout being yummy, delicate and nicely topped with veggies and citrus. The chorizo and pork were both spicier and saltier along with blunter toppings. Still they were yummy. The flour tortillas (you could also get corn) we're fine, but maybe a hint stale. read more
