    Ordered Al pastor Tacos, guacamole and chips, and a soda and margarita. The tacos were not warm, tortillas did not seem griddled, they were okay, highly edible. The guacamole was pretty disappointing, tasted maybe like there was some kinda preservatives in it. The salsa that came with the tacos was bland and for a authentic taco shop was more like something I would expect from a generic taco shop in NH. They claimed on the website, they have a small but curated tequila section, they had brand one on hand. Margarita was okay they use margarita mix, not the fresh lime juice stated on the website.... I really abhor sour mix. The Jaurito soda was as expected. Highly edible not something I'd seek out again Counter service Person at till said Birria are popular, we are not fans of that style as the can be soggy... But if you like that variety, I'd give that the green light

    Nice neon sign.

    La Capital Tacos serves up some of the most authentic tacos in the Capital Region. We visited after I read the reviews and the experience exceeded my expectations. I was so glad to have dinner there recently. Delicioso! My friend ordered the three steak taco dinner while I had the three chicken taco dinner. Then, we traded one. The tacos are served on small corn tortillas. It generally takes more than one taco to feel full. The steak tacos came with wonderful melted cheese and a beef dipping sauce. The chicken tacos came with salsa verde, plenty of cilantro and chopped up red onions. We each had a Margarita which are awesome, too. The staff is small but friendly and efficient. There isn't a lot of seating inside the restaurant. Just a few tables. Most of the seating is actually in the outdoor patio. In cold weather, large clear heated plastic bubbles or igloos are installed on the patio. Each holds a table and enough seating for several people. It's incredibly cute. There's even table service, but most people ordered take out and then walked over to eat in the bubbles. There's also parking on premises which makes the dining experience very convenient. We ate-in and had a blast. I look forward to coming back. They don't take reservations but guests are encouraged to call ahead to ask about seating.

    Carne asada burrito. Very bland, mostly unseasoned rice and beans.

    Just a shout out to this taco bowl. My coworker picked up lunch from here and I chose the Birria taco bowl. Oh man, this little container was packed to the brim with bright and fresh ingredients. Everything was so flavorful, I was honestly shocked how good this was. It was rice, a ton of birria meat, black beans, cheese, guac, pico, red onion, cilantro, and included cream and green salsa. The was enough for two lunch and I'm so happy I tried it. I will definitely be back for more of the menu. I need to try the birria tacos because the meat was killer.

    One of my favorite spots in Troy - hands down! If you're looking for fresh, authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. I've rarely ever deviated from the "Tacos Con Todos" or tacos with cheese, lettuce, Pico De Gallo, and guacamole on them. I usually also order the chicken, carne asada, and carnitas. They're incredibly fresh and delicious! The meat is always so tender and juicy. Their margaritas are also fantastic as are the Guacamole and chips, and churros. You really can't go wrong with anything you order! Also, they only have a few indoor tables, but they have recently installed igloos on their outdoor patio with heaters in them. Their outdoor patio is also the best place to be when the weather is nice. Highly recommend!!

    You have several options for Tacos in downtown Troy - this is my favorite among them. The tacos are fresh, they're quickly prepared, and they're filled with ingredients as opposed to slathered with sauce. The margaritas are reasonably priced too. In nice weather, it's a great place to sit outside for your meal, savor your tacos, and perhaps people watch. Everyone who works here is just so friendly too. La Capital is never a bad choice when looking for a meal in the area.

    Staff was friendly and food was excellent. I had birria tacos and friend had pastor bowl with chips and guacamole (guacamole was fresh and tasty) The tacos were tender and well seasoned with caramelized cheese.and fresh toppings. If you like tacos this place is bomb!

    Birria tacos here are amazing!

    The food here is delicious. I have enjoyed everything I've ever eaten here. The birria tacos are the best I've had in the area.

    I was really in the mood for some good Mexican food so I decided to give La Capital Tacos a try. With that known, I ordered the beef birria tacos and a chicken quesadilla. To start, the beef birria tacos were very good. To explain, the shells were crunchy and definitely homemade. In addition, the brisket was very flavorful, but a little chewy. Furthermore, the beef consommé was juicy and matched perfectly with the tacos. These were simply tasty tacos. After that, I tried the chicken quesadilla and it was decent. To enumerate, the chicken was tender and flavorful. However, the tortilla was really thick and I didn't love the taste of it. The quesadilla was fine, but I've had better. In summary, La Capital Tacos has excellent beef birria tacos, but mediocre quesadillas.

    From start to finish, I was really unimpressed with The Daisy. Starting in the small crowded entry…read moreway, we waited nearly 10 minutes for staff to approach us. We had a reservation at 6pm and felt invisible when we walked in, just to be seated in a table 5 feet away. Maybe they were understaffed, but friendly staff could have gone a long way here. We started with cocktails and they were all good. We didn't really have opportunities to order more, so I only tried one. We started with the Fried Burrata and Caesar salad. The fried buratta was delicious but not enough bread, or a spoon served with it so most of the sauce went to waste. We loved the pesto on the dish. The Caesar salad was extremely underdressed and under seasoned. None of us enjoyed it. We then ordered entrees, I got the flat iron and they ordered the carbonara and the burger. The flat iron was ordered rare, and served blue. The steak and sauce on it was cold. I didn't complain because I didn't want to try and call her over, they did not check on us after the food was delivered. The sauce on it was okay but I think it took away from the flavor of the meat, very strong cumin and chili flavor, a little gritty. The fries were good and the broccolini was mushy and overcooked. The carbonara was also a miss, it was overly peppered and unpleasant to eat. This dish was ultimately sent back and we explained it was overly peppered and inedible, and she ordered something else. My friend who ordered the burger really enjoyed it and it looked great. The server was not accommodating at all and barely checked on us. We sent food back and the server just threw it away without a thought in the world, and it remained on the bill. At this point we just wanted to pay and leave. Bad service can ruin a night, and it put a damper on our girls night out. My photos came out impeccable, unfortunately most of it looked better than it tasted. I could look over bad service if the food was great, but when neither is, it's a hard pass from me.

    Had dinner here last night for the first time. Fantastic experience. Cocktails, shareables,…read moreatmosphere, and service were all wonderful. We opted for shareables since we could not choose. Fried green tomatoes (gf), Caesar slad with grilled chicken, fried burrata with sourdough bread (absolutely delish pesto on top of the red sauce), and meatballs over polenta. We will be back.

    New favorite lunch spot!…read more Jesus's is brand new on river street in Troy and they are killing it! Everything is exploding with flavor and so well done, affordable too! Last week, my office ordered the burrito box for 6, 6 full sized chicken burritos, tons of chips, and two salsas for $54. You can't beat that deal, and the flavor was out of this world on every single component. The pico was incredible and the burrito were a great size. Today I tried the birria ramen and I really enjoyed this as well. They are killing it in the kitchen. The only question I had is, why isn't it served with birria meat? The standard option is chicken, which was good but I think the beef would go better with the beefy broth. Either way, it was a stellar bowl of soup for lunch, and so so filling, I could barely finish half. And the packaging was great too! We're already planning our order for next week. Check it out for sure.

    Great place. We've been for Mexican groceries (I don't know anywhere else around you can get a lot…read moreof the peppers etc) and for another time for takeout tacos. We brought the tacos over to The Other One brewery next door (which they allow) and had a fantastic date night. The al pastor was delicious, we both found the barbacoa a little boring and I'd skip the guacamole entirely next time. However the house made tortillas and other bread goods are so soft and flavorful. We'll be back.

    We haven't been here since they've expanded and it's much more comfortable now! There is room to…read moresit and enjoy a meal separate from the grocery portion of the restaurant. We all really enjoyed our meals. Most of us ordered the three taco combo (any three tacos on the menu) and a side of rice and beans! While the tacos are very simple, they are quite tasty. The carnitas pork taco is really tasty, especially with the pickled onions! Yum!! The steak tacos had good flavor, but there was definitely grizzle to be found in them! The chicken was great! All of their tacos are served in a double soft corn taco, which helps them stay together through every bite! Overall, the tacos here are truly authentic, full of Mexican flavors, and perfect to cure any taco craving! Now, the only thing they need is a liquor license to serve some delicious margaritas to wash down the tacos!! . Service was okay. They forgot silverware, so we sat for a bit unable to eat our rice and beans (or add them to the tacos, which is what I do). They also forgot two side of rice and beans, brought one after a reminder, but the final one was never received! We all left full and happy, so that's great! We will definitely go back again! PS. They have a full menu, much more than just tacos!! **We were so hungry that I forgot to take pictures!

Fried pickles were great and rumor has it this special will be around awhile. They're as thin as french fries and they must use some sort of sorcery to get them evenly battered and coated. These were perfect for sharing with someone who normally hate fried pickles because they're too thick and who hates mayonnaise.
