Guacamole has been our go-to Mexican spot for years, and we've eaten here easily 10+ times, which…read moreis why this review is tough to write. We usually come when the owner is present, and the experience is always fantastic. Unfortunately, our visit this past Tuesday (which honestly should be Taco Tuesday) missed the mark. Our waitress was new and struggled to explain several menu items, which led to some confusion. We ordered tacos, queso with beans, nachos, and chips with guacamole. The order came out incorrect, and the queso was a major disappointment--it arrived as a bowl of grease, completely separated and inedible. The tacos were very small, light on filling, and lacked the bold seasoning and heartiness we've come to expect here. Honestly, it wasn't the usual Guacamole quality. What made it more frustrating was that the wait staff didn't seem very helpful in correcting the issues or explaining what went wrong. While we noticed the owner wasn't in that day and chalk some of this up to her absence, a restaurant still needs to run smoothly when the owner takes time off--burnout is real, and strong staff support is key. We truly don't want to hurt this business. We drive a distance to come here and still consider it one of our favorite spots. That said, $90 for two meals, one appetizer, and a side of queso and beans, with this experience, felt disappointing. I'm leaving four stars because we know how great Guacamole can be, even though this visit was closer to a two-star experience. I hope management sees this as constructive feedback and uses it to help train newer staff--this place is too good not to get back to its usual standard.

They are the packaged ones and they didn't bother to warm them up. On top of that, they don't even double up. With the amount of toppings, those flimsy store-bought packaged tortillas don't hold up. I get this isn't authentic but at least invest in a thicker cut tortilla if homemade is too big of a task. And warm them up. The buttermilk chicken itself with the sauce was good but the jerk chicken went in the trash. There is nothing jerk about it. No condiments, no spice, all flair.

I instantly realized how the interior looks identical to Los Tacos No. 1. The Coca-Cola insignia is displayed to the left and right of the restaurant name. The menu is painted on a large wall. Even the employees wear white uniforms and white chef hats. Originally, I was confined this restaurant was going to be a cheap knock-off. Ordering is done through an in-store kiosk. Although I was skeptical using the computer screen, I found it easy to navigate and was able to fulfill my lunch order without requesting any assistance. The meal took a few minutes to arrive, but that was because the servers were freshly making it on the spot. I started to get a good feeling as I witnessed the chefs in action. As soon as I took my first bite, I realized I was mistaken about my initial impression. All tacos are prepared with fresh ingredients with a smoky flavor. The shells are soft and doughy. Juices from the protein slightly compromised the appearance, but the taste is fantastic! There is a salsa bar offering complimentary toppings for your tacos. Limes, pickled onions, and three flavors of salsa are an option. The seating is kind of tight, but it's meant to be eaten in a fast paced atmosphere. Overall, I didn't think I was going to have a great experience, but this location surpassed my expectations by a long shot. I was very impressed with Taco Empreso! #tacoempreso #tacoempresoedisonnj #tacos #halaltacos

I've been here a couple months ago, and it's wild to see how much it has grown in popularity. The last few times we have visited, it has been packed or overflowing with customers. A good sign, if you ask me! The tacos are uniquely curated and not your typical selection. I had a Smashburger taco, because I love ground beef, and also a delicious shrimp taco. Any one you get, it is tasty, fresh, prepared right in front of your eyes, and my best of all- so colorful! There is a salsa/sauce/lime bar, which is constantly refilled and has plenty of to-go cups and boxes. I cannot recommend the Agua de Horchata drink enough. When I see Horchata on a menu, I automatically gravitate towards it. Here, the drink is not too thick or overwhelming in flavor. It is nicely balanced with the cinnamon and milky tastes. If you get the 16 oz, the drink comes in a cute square shaped cup. Love this taco joint and coming by every so often to see what is new on the menu and how well they are doing. There is plenty of parking in the plaza lot. If you are in the area, I highly recommend. Definitely worth a shot!

I ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Pollo, and they were a delightful feast for the senses. Each taco was hand-crafted with care, served on a fresh corn tortilla. The Al Pastor was beautifully seasoned with just the right amount of spice, while the Carnitas offered a tender, savory experience. The Pollo was juicy and packed with flavor, making it hard to pick a favorite. The salsas truly enhanced the experience. The salsa verde provided a zesty kick, while the smoky salsa added depth that complemented the tacos perfectly. Topped with onions, cilantro, cotija cheese, and crema, every bite was an explosion of flavor. To wash it down, I enjoyed a refreshing glass of horchata, which paired wonderfully with the savory tacos, balancing everything out nicely. The atmosphere at TACORIA was vibrant and inviting, with friendly staff who made the dining experience even better.
