    Taco Salad Bowl (~$10).
    Aya E.

    My friends always rave about QDOBA saying it's better than all its other fast food competitors and I finally got to give it a try! I ordered the Taco Salad Bowl (~$10) with half Cilantro-Lime White Rice and half Seasoned Brown Rice. I also got fajita veggies, black beans, lettuce, shredded cheese, guacamole, and mild queso on the side. For the proteins, I got half Marinated Grilled Chicken and half Marinated Grilled Steak. It was all put into the delicious, crispy taco bowl and I was ready to grub. I must say that the meats and rices were super well-seasoned! A lot better than other places I've had. I also loved the fajita veggies. They're definitely on the oily side but they make the bowl that much better. The mild queso was actually delicious! I was surprised because I expected it to taste like typical nacho cheese but it was much more than that. The guacamole was also a great addition to the bowl. I loved being able to eat away at my bowl whenever I needed that crunch factor. If you love a little bit a crunch in what you eat, I definitely recommend the taco shell bowl! Overall, QDOBA might actually be my new favorite fast casual Mexican spot. The food tasted great and the prices are fair. The service was a bit slow as they seemed understaffed. But otherwise, I had a good experience and can't wait to come back!

    My veggie burrito :)
    Val E.

    I'm trying to become a vegetarian. So this was my first time purposely ordering a vegetarian dish at a restaurant. (I'm such a goofy person bc inside I was all excited to place this order, like it was some new phenomenon) Anywho, this place wasn't very crowded and they were prepping the resturant for closing. It was around 8pm when I arrived there. It reminded me of a more relaxed chipotle. I felt like I could stand there without being rushed along and food thrown all about. I'm one of those people who like to read the menu before going to a place so I knew what I wanted etc. sadly they were out of the veggies for the vegan burrito so I opted for fajita veggies instead. The person behind the counter apologized and told me I could have free guacamole with my order :)) They don't have a great selection of beverages like chipotle. All in all I liked the service, atmosphere, and food. This is a nice place to come study too. After eating I sat there for about 45 minutes reading. A plus, the movie theatre is a few steps away from the resturant and coming here could lead to a fun little evening.

    Manager (at cash) was blunt and not very polite

    Staff keeps changing, food smaller and mediocre and now new policy is they don't give any cups for water unless your a kid (first time hearing that one)! Last time I come here!

They were welcoming, patient, and genuinely pleasant, which immediately made us feel comfortable. We ordered quite a bit of food, and everything came out fairly quickly. The cheese quesadillas and the chorizo quesadilla were delicious, and the sides really stood out. The street corn and golden avocado were full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Every item we tried was really good :-) - even my 3 year old daughter ate and she's very picky! The drinks did not disappoint. The horchata was excellent, so good that I had to go back for seconds. That alone says a lot. Between the great food and the exceptional service, I highly recommend the Princeton Tacoria location. Everyone was so nice to us, and it made the entire experience even better. I will definitely be going back.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. What truly set this visit apart was how seriously they take gluten allergies. The staff was proactive and thorough, changing gloves, using clean utensils, and preparing food in a separate area to prevent cross-contamination. It made the experience completely stress-free. Special recognition goes to Keyla, who took our order. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful with walking us through the menu to ensure safe choices. Her service genuinely elevated the experience. Great food, thoughtful service, and a place you can actually trust if you're gluten-free. Will absolutely be back.

I ordered the Grilled Chicken Wrap, which was excellent, packed with chicken and very filling. I ended up taking half home because it was both generous and delicious.

I highly recommend stopping by for drinks and bites if you're in the mood for classic cocktails and solid food. Happy hour is first come, first served and limited to the bar only (around 15 seats total). We arrived right when it started, and when we left about 40 minutes later, the bar was about half full.

There are 7 bar stools for counter seating, so either you take it to go or eat there (and then come out smelling like fried food). It's a local hole-in-the-wall that caters to fellow Central Americans, which is why I wanted to try the food. But alas, the food wasn't that great. The drink selection is good, though! Homemade horchata and tamarind drinks, plus a variety of canned drinks and juices, including mango with pulp. At the end of the day, it's worth a try (it's the only one like it in Princeton) but just don't expect too much!

I ordered one of the specials that used skirt steak (sorry, my Spanish is pretty much nonexistent so I forget the exact name) and it was prepared in ~10 minutes or so. I could tell it was fresh, so no complaints there! I took my food to go, and I have to admit that it was pretty challenging to cut up my steak with the provided plastic knife and fork. Granted, I'm not really sure what the solution is - it's not like they're going to give out a quality knife and fork for a take-out order. The steak was definitely tasty and tender for skirt steak, and the sides (rice, black beans, and pasta salad with a jalapeño on top) were all high quality as well. Finally, they offered some side tortillas which were decent but didn't blow me away. The whole meal was only $10, which is extremely reasonable for Princeton. Overall, I was really happy with my experience at Chapin. All of the food was good (with the exception of the side tortillas, which were only decent). I do think that the restaurant could offer a little more information on the ingredients of the specials (I had to use Google!), but I guess I could have just asked the reasonably friendly staff and he would have answered my questions :) But it's nice to just be able to read it off a menu. Anyway, I can definitely see myself coming back!

I would've ordered more food, but we were going to another place and I didn't want to fill up. The staff is very nice here all very friendly and welcoming. There's no children's menu. This place is a bit small so I don't recommend it for young children and it would be difficult for handicapped unless you're able to get a table outside. We will definitely be back.

They've a good menu…read morewith most of the usual suspects on it, and they're located next to a small market where you can pick up a bag Cacahuates Japoneses to enjoy on the drive home. Service is friendly and efficient. Orders are made at the counter, or, dare you dare, via QR codes located at the table. Parking is limited, and because it's located between two one-way streets, it can be tricky coming in to or leaving. The Sopes at La Taqueria are a must to try. They're heavily ladened with tasty toppings, and I'd order them again in a heartbeat. The chorizo sope was especially good, and had enough chorizo on it to make two Sopes. Be forewarned that you will not have clean hands after eating them. On another visit I tried the fish tacos. Fish tacos at La Taqueria are the chopped/shredded variety rather than the deep fried filet version. The tortillas themselves were heated well, but were nothing special, nor was the flavor of the fish itself anything remarkable. I expected something more interesting from the place. On the flip side, I also tried a Taco de Tripa, asking for it to be cooked crisp (Tripa in Mexico is pork chitterling, not tripe) and it was very, very (feel free to insert more verys) good, and is definitely a taco I'll try again and again. During our most recent visit, we had the Enchiladas de Pollo en Mole, which brought four enchiladas in a deeply flavored mole with rice and beans. The mole was not sweet like so many other moles in other area restaurants, but was instead relying heavily on the flavors of the chiles. It was very tasty, and a nice change from the usual sweet moles. We also had an excellent Huarache de Lengua, a thick, oval tortilla ladened with beef tongue. I have a feeling my wife will be ordering it each time we return. In addition, we ordered a bowl of the Sopa de Panza y Pata, a soup with a spicy broth and loaded with cow's hooves and tripe. It was a meal in itself, and was also served with rice on the side along with some thick corn gorditas. I was torn between four and five stars here, and if the fish tacos hadn't been such a bust, they'd probably have gotten that fifth star. La Taqueria is definitely in the top tier of local Mexican/Guatemalan restaurants, and will be part of our regular rotation going forward.
