Tucked away in a residential area, you have to know where to look to find TNT Tacos; it's not a place you would naturally stumble upon. There's a substantive menu with dishes that are well thought out, flavorful and filling. This is a hidden gem in an area that is overall lacking in quality Mexican restaurants but bountiful in margarita bars that dabble in the occasional quesadilla. Definitely will be back.

Food: - I ordered the chicken and carne tacos and wow! Both…read morewere so delicious! I was pleasantly surprised. It was authentic, fresh, the tortillas tasted homemade and it didn't need all the extra stuff to make it taste good. It looked simple but was packed with flavor! - I also ordered the guacamole and chips. The guac was so good! Seasoned just right! Service: - the staff was super nice and friendly. Loved the food energy! Ambiance: - it's pretty spacious inside and has tables and chairs. It also looks like they are still setting up but hey, when the tacos taste that good, everything looks nice to me lol We will definitely come back!

We did have a special buffalo chicken taco, which was fabulous!! It was our first time at Sayulita since giving up alcohol, and I was definitely missing their margaritas. I had a grapefruit Mexican soda, but next time I'll ask if they can make me a yummy mocktail. The restaurant is about double the size of the Glastonbury location, so check it out if you want the best tacos without the long wait!!

They even mention a freakin lime, but can't let us know exactly what we will be using to dip into everything? I've never been to a Mexican restaurant where tortillas didn't land on the table gratuitously. Place is too loud even on a Sunday afternoon. Must say they serve yummy queso. Nothing on the food menu is authentic, and it's way overpriced. Sorry to say this location won't be open much longer and the building is essentially cursed as an eatery.

I have never seen three people work harder than in this kitchen on Cinco de Mayo. Thankfully, I put…read morein my order about 10 minutes after they reopened at 5 PM. Minutes later, chaos ensued, and there was a line of about 20 people that never went away. They make the tortillas from scratch, I watched a woman in the kitchen, piecing off the dough and then flattening them in a press, and then putting them on the grill, over and over and over again. By the way, their tortilla chips are made of this same homemade goodness. I can see why there was a line out the door until I finished my meal. The tacos I ordered were perfectly seasoned, very tender, and incredibly juicy. I don't think I've ever had tacos like that before. Even if there is a line, I would highly recommend stopping in for these delicious morsels.

Taco Tuesdays apparently aren't a deal, they just sell you a lot less food for less money. Switched to 1 star after the business owner's response. Wow.

Tacos were small like street tacos. Poboy was very tasty. BBQ was ok, pork tasted reheated and not enough slaw. I think my partner ate his taco in two bites just to give you an idea of the size. We may try again, but I would say that it was an underwhelming experience.

For small plates, we got the esquites and sweet plantains. The esquites was delicious. For the sweet plantains, they asked if we wanted the crema + queso fresco on the side but it still came on top. Plantains were alright, wasn't loving them though because they were drenched in the toppings. Kale salad was huge! Yummy and fresh. The food came out so quick. I love that they use corn tortillas for the tacos. The pork belly taco was drenched in kimchi, not my favorite but a good cut of pork belly. I like the lamb taco tasted just like a mini lamb gyro. The baja fish taco was my favorite though, it's comes in a huge slab. it was so good I ordered another. I love the chipotle sauce the Baja fish taco comes with too. The music was awesome too, such a vibe. A lot of EDM, felt like all they were missing was a disco ball. Very delicious, would come back.

Convenient for dine in or take out. We found the plantains to be well fried and deliciously sweet. The ribeye quesadilla was good chunks of beef, but while good quality, seemed to lack seasoning.

Unfortunately did not find out until we got home they had not bagged the dipping sauce for the birria tacos.

Seeing how yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, it was indeed a day for Mexican food…read more Myself, along with 2 other ladies headed out to grab some dinner. Places were in full swing with orders from customers - in store, by phone, or online. We've patronized other Mexican food restaurants, and this place was one that we haven't been to - until last night that is. We just about missed out on the food. A really great employee, Mike was kind enough to ensure that we didn't miss out on a Cinco de Mayo meal. Super hard working, professional, and dedicated to making sure customers are taken care of - these words describe Mike to the core. I had nachos with beef n cheese. Absolutely delicious. For someone that loves tacos, burritos, and enchiladas - I was compelled to switch it up. So nachos it is Out of all the Mexican restaurants I've patronized, this is by far the absolute best to go! So much better than other places. Along with the food, the kindness and welcoming in which was displayed by Mike are what made me decide to keep going back to this wonderful establishment! Whether it's burritos, tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, or nachos - Taqueria 5 is the place for it all. I'll be back, Mike. Can't wait to enjoy more of the incredibly delicious Mexican food at Taqueria 5!
