Just tried this spot and had a really great experience. The quesadilla was delicious and the portion was super generous definitely worth it. They even included a free drink, which was a nice surprise. Customer service was on point, and I had the chance to meet the owner, who was genuinely kind and welcoming. You can tell they care about their customers. I'll definitely be back! read more

Guac Time - Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Sorry, but this place is getting roasted: 2 stars (with an asterisk). Let me start by saying I'm going to do a Guac Time vs. Talkin' Taco comparison since they are next to each other, just to save you from disappointment. This place will NEVER, EVER sniff a 5-star rating, unless you're an idiot with bad taste who just likes to give out random 5 stars. The food was OK at best. I had the tacos and the bowl. FIRST OF ALL, let's start off with the biggest elephant in the room. I looked this place up online because my brother got me some chips and guac, and I noticed, "Hmmm, these are some big bags of chips." The chips are oily, and the guac is the biggest piece of dog crap guac I've ever had. I've had store-bought guac better than that! If you want good guac, go to Talkin' Taco; don't waste your money or your breath for this experience. I'm TELLING YOU! I got online to check their prices and I was like, "Oh, OK, the prices ain't that bad." I thought it was going to cost $26.50 + tax, as it said on the website. Oh my days, I was freaking wrong! I ended up spending a dang $42, and that's not even including the drinks--which I obviously got from outside because drinks are a low-quality item no matter where you go. The rice tasted like cafeteria rice, typical enriched rice. The chicken was OK, but yes, they skimp on the protein. Their sauce selection is trash. It's just a wannabe Chipotle with more sauce selections. Basically, this place has no reason to exist, in my opinion, because it's more expensive than Chipotle, and Chipotle is legit right up the block. It's just another trash Halal place using hype to make money with low-quality food. The interior was freaking trash too, looking like a dang Subway. Listen, I've got high standards. It doesn't even have to be that high, but at least Talkin' Taco has 5-star potential. This place doesn't. This place has no right to be in this location because it's nothing but a money-grabbing, piece-of-trash place. You can clearly go somewhere else. Support local instead, because you'll be more satisfied. I'd rather go to a Mexican food truck. Like dude, at this point, just serve halal food, bro, cause y'all are never sniffing 5 stars... Like I said: either go to Chipotle or go to Talkin' Taco! Don't give this place a chance, you will regret it! I'm 100,000,000% sure! Get this place out of here! I'm only giving this place 2 stars because the employees were OK as well, so shout out to the workers. read more

Guac Time was unfortunately a one-and-done experience for me. Customer service sets the tone, and the young lady with glasses was neither friendly nor welcoming. A little kindness goes a long way, and this visit felt like customers were more of an inconvenience than appreciated. What made matters worse was seeing a shorter male employee touch his nose while wearing gloves and then continue working without changing them -- something no customer wants to witness in a food establishment. Also the garbage was overflowing and the seating area was unwelcoming and not clean and orderly. To top it off, the quesadilla was honestly the worst I've ever had. Poor service, questionable food handling, and disappointing food quality made this an easy place to skip. It's a shame because experiences like this are exactly why some restaurants struggle to stay open. Also avoid this place in summer because the AC you can barely feel and it's like eating outside... read more

Packed with flavors, the food is really fresh and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of Chipotle restaurant but just for comparison I'll use them as a reference. The set up at Guac Time is similar but food is immensely better ( more seasoned) and there are more items to choose from. Oh and it's Halal items if that a requirement for you this is a place you can try. The service was great, the cashier was one of those guys who has a permanent smile. I had the Birria tacos and guacamole. The consomè was very good, I was surprised ,I wasn't expecting such deep flavors. The taco were a good size and packed with meat. I was very satisfied . They have Jaritos, Fanta amd Mexican Coke. I will return. By the way, no bathroom. I almost bypassed the restaurant because it looked closed ,the tint on the windows is very dark and you can't really see inside from the sidewalk. I'm glad I peered in closer . I would have missed out on very delicious lunch. read more

I had a delivery order of a chicken burrito wrap and a chicken burrito bowl. The burrito was packed and the burrito bowl was generously filled to the top with sour cream and hot sauce on the side. Both were tasty and seemed very fresh. The chicken was soft and juicy. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. Delivery was fast and packing was decent. This is much better and healthier than a "fast food" restaurant. I would order from here again, anytime. read more

Coming here for lunch was such a great choice and was so close to my work and I never realized it! The portions are excellent like usually I can finish a whole chipotle bowl but I could only get through half the guac time bowl and now I get to have leftovers for dinner which i'm so excited about. All the ingredients tasted fresh and I especially loved the cilantro sauce. Also the queso blanco as a topping was not extra!!! Game changer bc I love queso. Chips were crisp and tasty too. I will be back for that crunchwrap sometime! read more

Guac Time - Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

One of my go-to places to order takeout tex-mex! I think it's higher quality than Chipotle. I've always ordered at the Brooklyn location, but decided to order from the Chelsea location to deliver to my work. I think the Chelsea location packs the container less than the Brooklyn location, but it's still a good amount of food. I am always left satisfied! They usually have a BOGO deal on the apps, and guac is listed as a free topping!! read more

No no no no no. Enormous soggy burritos with minuscule amounts of meat. But no matter what DO NO GET THE SHRIMP. Those cold, veiny, disgusting and weird shrimp tacos had to go straight into the garbage. read more

I love their crispy chicken tacos they hit everytime the make the taco shells in house & they never get soggy, everytime I go they're out of the jerk chicken :/ it's $18 for 3 tacos so super expensive in my opinion. It's a small spot lunch rush there's a line most times but it moves pretty quick.. I think there might be one table in there it's super small mainly a togo spot. Think elevated chipotle with fresh items not pre packed processed meats/ veggies. read more

Ordered two veggie burritos through Uber Eats and I love the fact that they didn't charge extra for guac! We loaded up our burrito and when we got them we threw them on the grill for a bit to have more of a crunch. So creamy from the guac, and filling from the veggies and flavorful! The best part was that afterwards we didn't feel gross similar to how we'd feel after Taco Bell. Guac time is definitely fast casual/fast food but feels somewhat healthy like chipotle with a better price point and free guac! read more

Took extremely, and I MEAN EXTREMELY long with my order. Mind you I ordered on Uber Eats about 10:15 PM right? ITS SAYS MY ORDER COMES 11:16PM-11:40PM the LATEST. Something not right, they not even 2 miles away. I live in the city so you know I could have picked it up, but it's a little trip. BUT over an HOUR to prepare my order, and get it ready and they DOWN A COUPLE BLOCKS? yea right you have a nice day, you will no longer be receiving my donation. read more

This was a pick up order, so I can't speak on the ambiance of the restaurant or service. However, the birria tacos were solid! I wish I had saved some more room for more of these tacos, but I *made* room. read more

I heard lots of good things about this halal place, but was little disappointed ‍Maybe oh other items would be better . The store is pretty small, nothing fancy to show off. But I so appreciate the fact that it's 100% halal, they even have a certification for it . So if you around this area do visit & give it a try . read more

The service was easy to order, there is a little wait time but it's worth it. read more

We went to the Franklin Square location since there were doing grand opening and giving out a free Burrito or bowl. And we waited for almost two hours getting excited how their bowls are like! However, when it was finally our turn, the servers were not nice, they didn't listed to what we asked to put into our bowls, and they put random things in our bowl, and the amount of food was half of what we expected. I understand it was a free meal and maybe that's why the amount was not so good, but still, we waited for almost two hours outside in a cold weather, and at least I hoped the servers were nicer. If this experience was better, we would come back. But our first experience with Guac Time was horrible and we will not come back. read more

We ordered a taco kit at 3 AM and LOL idk if it's because it was 3 AM after a night out or what but damn these tacos were BUSSIN. I believe we got the chicken ones with chipotle sauce and sweet mango verde sauce. The kit came with 3 pretty big tacos, packed with toppings, for around $14. Update: it is now lunch time the day after and we have ordered from here again LOL. Steak tacos + a burrito bowl, lived up to the hype of last night - so so good. read more

Chicken Birria too salty and unfavorable. The beef birria was nasty and it has an awful smell I would never visit this place again

Guac Time is a fast casual Tex-Mex restaurant that is set up similar to Chipotle. The menu is your typical Tex-mex offerings. You can get quesadillas, nachos with meat and cheese, tacos, and burritos. It is more of a grab and go kind of place. The prices are decent and the other thing that stands out is that they have good portion sizes - noticeably bigger and more filling than Chipotle. However, as a few other reviews have already mentioned, I found their food to be too salty. Not only is it too salty, it's a little greasy too. They advertise themselves as being "100% antibiotic and steroid free", but the food is far from healthy. read more

I'm not sure why the rating is so low but this has been my go to mexican food delivery spot. I get the burrito or crunch wrap! So good. Hits every time. Today there was a buy one get one deal so I ordered one of each!! read more

The food was definitely fresh, and they offered a lot of toppings for your bowls or salads. I got chicken and shrimp in mine. The flavors were good, and more on the sweet rather than savory side. The shrimp was a little overcooked to me, so that was kind of a bummer. I liked that the bowl came with chips, and that they were not an extra cost. The green sauce on the side was very tasty. To me it was an average Tex-Mex restaurant. If I was in the area, and hungry, I would probably try the tacos next go around. read more

Guac Time - Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowl - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Food was good, albeit salty. I got the shrimp nachos. The restaurant itself is Chipotle-y. I would strongly recommend taking your food to go. There's an aggressive EDP guy that panhandles who apparently is a regular that decided to stare at the side of my head while I attempted to eat my food because I didn't want to give him a dollar. Not exactly an environment conducive to enjoying a meal. read more

I have to do an update because they're ONLY on Uber Eats, which I no longer use. They also have their own app which only lets you order for pickup. So if you want delivery, and you don't use Uber Eats, you're out of luck. So, you lose a star from me for that. So, no more Guac Time for me for awhile. Not until they discover things like GrubHub or Door Dash. (I refuse to reinstall Uber anything!) read more

Came in at 2:30am after working the whole day and the guys were SO RUDE. I work in service and seriously, what the hell. You close at 3am. It's 2:30 read more

Ok, it's my mistake for not looking into the menu/pictures before just choosing a place off of an online ordering app. But just wanted to caution other customers that their food is QUITE salty. I know for a fact tomorrow ill be extra thirsty as the tacos I ordered were... not sure.. rinsed in salt or something. Normally Mexican food can be like that, but I just didnt expect it to be this extreme. Perhaps, some ppl do like having 1/3 of their shrimp taco be shredded American cheese. I did not. It was hard to judge the other ingredients in the tacos because I just felt like the whole thing was a salt lick, plus or minus some lettuce and corn that made an appearance somewhere in there.. I removed some of the filling out of my tacos - Anyway, I'm sure if you're hungry and in the area This would be do-able. I'm disappointed in myself that I waited an hour for this order (as the uber- delivery guy seemingly walked to bring the order and hence the long, hungry wait) read more

Super solid late night eats! I got the bowl with cilantro lime rice, steak, chicken breast, and topped it with cilantro and the sweet chili mango sauce and it hit the spot! A short walk on 6th from Raines if you need some good,light food after drinks. read more

food is good (was excited for mexican halal) but the workers are rude, especially the girls. i have worked in food service for several years and theres no need to be rude. we get it, you don't want to work. no one does. you're lucky if you have this job, especially during this recession. if it was up to me, you wouldn't have that job cause of your sour face/attitude. theres a "hiring" sign on the door and i'm wondering how this girl even works there still. i asked to get the rest of my food to go and she refused to hand me my items, she just placed it down on the counter and walked away (she's not hijabi but the hijabi girl was also rude). the girls seemed annoyed at my presence for dining in. i regret tipping. 0 customer service skills. only one guy was super kind to me and said you're welcome. not sure if i will be back. have some manners or hire someone who doesn't grimace. i cant enjoy my food if i have a nasty girl staring me down. not my fault that you're miserable !!! read more

Options are good but can you guys please season the damn food .. everything is plain even the sauces are dead

Came to NYC to celebarte New Years with family and wanted to try some local birria tacos. We came across this place and ordered some chicken and beef birria tacos. First time trying these and I absolutely loved it. Since it was Halal, my mom got to try these tacos for herself. The flavor and the sauce was just right. The only issue I had was that the taco breaks so easily even before dipping it in the sauce. I was a bit surprised that they had Halal options here. Overall it was a decent spot. If you're in the area, do try their birria tacos. read more

Tried this place ...., not far from my office. I ordered the [ " Beef Birra Taco's " ] 3 piece.., I give it a 6.2. It cost $16.00 for only 3 medium sized ttacos. They could have added more chicken on all the tacos. I didn't even get green peppers, or onions, or tomatoes. I didn't even get rice or beans with the tacos. It's a new restaurant { newly established August 2021 } in Chelsea neighborhood.....,however the indoor dining was great! Remember It's Manhattan read more

Guac Time - Beef Birra Taco's " ] 3 piece.. for $16.00 NOT WORTH IT. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped by for the first time today and found out they just opened a couple days ago! It's a bright and fun location and the staff is super friendly. The food is good for the price. My dining companion and I got the honey Chipotle chicken burrito and the sweet chili shrimp burrito. Both were very different in flavor but equally good. There are sooo many different options for protein and toppings. I love that you can mix and match a lot. They even have sauces at the end which adds a whole new layout of flavor. The shrimp is a bit on the sweet side and the chipotle chicken was definitely less sweet. I recommend the Spanish rice, so yum. Guacamole is free which is awesome. There's two types, spicy and regular which was cool to see. There's really an option for everyone I'd say. Overall, I would return. I wouldn't go out looking for it specifically but if I'm in the area I'd definitely choose Guac Time over other eateries in the neighborhood. read more
