I've ordered here 3x through delivery and the Birria tacos are consistently delicious!!! I can just drink the entire consome. LOL Ate here once and the dining experience was also very nice! I love the glow in the dark vibe inside. The customer service was excellent and bathroom was clean. I highly recommend this place for Birria lovers! I need to try the Birria Mac n Cheese next. The shrimp taco was also yummy (I wish it was grilled instead of fried though). read more

3.5 Stars for me, couldve been a better experience, some people might say I sound picky but honestly, it's just basic, it's looks like a cool place when you go inside... it's all hype in my opinion the food lacks soul it's taste so franchisie if you know what I mean, I had the burrito and the tacos because they put wayy too much sauce and way too much rice, or too much lettuce... the amount of meat they put is laughable should call them Talkin Carbs the sauces isnt even mexican crema its just a wack sauce its like mayo or something, youre next to a dang gym give the men more freaking PROTEIN !!! Although for anyone! who loves chips and guac idk if I'm getting ahead of myself because things change but their chips are crunchy and fresh and that Guac ouuufffff DELISHHHH i would argue that the chips and guac carry this restaurant they had good service, it was clean inside, they read the notes you put when you order on the kiosk , so I give them props for that they're very attentive to their customers but the food could be better even if i was to see improvement I still would not be satisfied from this place but you can count on their employees! Edit: Yes this place has 5 Star potential give them a try! & has really good horchata read more

This was a takeout experience and my first time ever having TT. They have a fusion situation going on in the menu, but I decided to play it safe with a classic--bang bang shrimp tacos. I generally thought the tacos had good flavor, but were a tad salty. The shell was also noticeably greasy and the filling didn't include enough shrimp for me. I would rate this first experience a 3.5, but am offering grace as I have friends who have recommended it. Will have to reassess in person. read more

Now usually I don't give five stars unless I'm blown away by my visit. I'm blown away for now and hope that I stay that way. First off there are no cashier's and I don't recall if the tablets took any form of cas so everything is tap and pay through the tablet. I was greeted by a staff member and me explained to me how there ordering process goes. You order through the tablet and find somewhere to sit, and they bring you your order. I decided on some shrimp tacos and a horchata drink. I was really happy with what I ordered although my taco was over dressed with onions, my shrimp was bursting with flavor and my taco shell slightly crispy. Along with that horchata that tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, it was a very tasty meal. The restaurant itself is pretty trendy. It's very spacious with some cool decor to take photos and the bathroom is awesome. I never seen a bathroom that has a lock that you have to pay to get inside. Now of course you can get in free if you're dining there or are a paying customer. It's also very clean and very low lighted. This place is definitely giving good vibes. They also had some good music playing in the background as well. So yea, they get two thumbs up from me! Happy Yelping! read more

I've ordered talking tacos a few times via delivery app but I figured it was time to visit and eat in store! The atmosphere was trendy, casual and had lots of neon lights. It was a chill vibey environment with great music. This store in particular was a bit small, doesn't have many tables or seating. The whole restaurant was also neon so it looked like everything was glowing! Cool to look at but hard to see my food without my phone flashlight. They have tablets to order to your own food/drinks and the staff will bring your food to your table. Service was very quick and food came out hot. The tacos themselves are very delicious but extremely rich. My fave thing was the guacamole! It was salty and fresh. My fave tacos were the Caribbean carne tacos. I never thought to put maduros on my tacos!! It may seem simple but it was creative to me and I enjoyed it a lot. The quesabirria was okay, I wish the consommé had more flavor, it was kinda flat and oily. I would definitely go again when I'm in the mood for tacos. They also have taco Tuesday deals! read more

Food is flavorful and cooked to order. Interior is clean and the staff was friendly. The only thing g I did not like was the self service ordering system. The shrimp and Mahi were fried perfectly. Interior is inviting and has a cool vibe with reggaeton playing. Sabrina was Excellent!!! Very attentive and excellent read more

Recent opening near Washington Square Park, on 6th Avenue between 3rd Street/Minetta Lane, offering relatively budget friendly Mexican from the Talkin Tacos franchise. I tried the Birria Tacos, good flavor, not overly salty... based on the juice from the meat, I know it's tough to keep the corn tortillas from getting messy or falling apart... I ate mine immediately and after the first bite, I opted to eat with them with a fork/ knife. You get 3 tacos per order. Convenient to Washington Square Park, Greenwich & West Village. I would grab a bite here when in the neighborhood (or pass by one in another location). They have a nice menu selection and would try other tacos, quesadillas, burritos or sides. read more

Everything's alright with the flavors, but it's way too UNJUSTLY OVERPRICED for Mexican food. The birria tacos are tasty, but the carne asada is a little bland for me. The horchata is tasty as well. read more

Decent taco options especially the birria! Lemonade is fun too. Just a bit expensive compared to other tacos you can find in the area.

I definitely will be talkin about these tacos! I absolutely loved Takin Tacos so much! I would absolutely recommend this place. This place has some amazing nachos, that is bursting with flavor. The nachos also has so much stuff in it, from beans, guacamole, and tomatoes. And the portion sizes are really big, I was able to take a lot home for leftovers. Essentially, this place is so colorful, festive, and vibrant! They also have alot of halal options as well. You order the food through a kiosk, and the food comes out really quick. The place also wasn't really crowded when I went which is good. The customer service was pretty good at this place. The only con I would say is that it is far from train stations, from the nearest train it's like 15-20 blocks away, but it's near a lot of buses. Price: $14 Rating: 9.5/10 read more

Nothing exciting. No flavor and no creativity. I would skip and go for other places that's much better. Service is not the best - people are rude but it's NY so who knows. I didn't like the ambiance either. read more

Terrible food quality. Very unhealthy and questionable hygiene. Very rude attendance.

I got the chicken quesabirria. It was alright. Chips were stale. Guac was fresh--probably the best part. Busy with to go orders. Forgot our queso. May have not seen them at their best... read more

Absolutely love this location everything is delicious if you love nachos the steak order is amazing.

Worst Mexican food I've ever had. The hellish neon interior should have been a warning. It's overpriced, shitty fast food. Also, they post fake reviews. read more

I ordered a birria taco on the kiosk for a takeout order and it took over 10 min to make. The restaurant itself is clean, not the largest interior. The burrito was ok, it does not come wrapped in foil and comes with chips. It wasn't a terrible burrito but nothing particularly special; I probably wouldn't go back for it. read more

Worst burritos ever. Meat is tough, dry, and lacking flavor. "Birria" is just shredded beef. Very expensive for what you get, the truck near Key Food is 10x better for $5 less. Ambience is awful: gaudy neon trim on everything with music so loud you can barely hear yourself think. Also, what Mexican place doesn't have salsa?? Bewildered by the number of good reviews this place has. read more

Ugh. This review pains me to say. I've been coming here weekly for the last 2 years and I've watched my go-to place just nose dive in quality. However, I don't blame the workers. I'd go as far as blame management. I've seen the workers bust their backs in service. The front knows me by name and has been very welcoming in my visits. However, every time I've come in I see the server at the to-go working solo and drowning in orders, and someone constantly trying to run out orders. So why is my pick up order (of one $18 quesadilla) 30 minutes late? I remember when the management here made a point to check in with customers, there would be workers helping in the dining room, and there wasn't a line obstructing the path inside. Alas, I fear my favorite has gone the way of all chain restaurants. More concerned with being a chain that sells a $7 mini tacos without actually caring about the customer. Save yourself and the poor staff and go elsewhere. I'm taking Talkin Taco off my rotation. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had. Very affordable place it's super clean here. The service is amazing they were super fast and made sure to ask if we needed anything. I got the Birria Burrito and my girlfriend got the Birria Mac and Cheese. Definitely try the Mac and Cheese sooo good, and the horchata was delicious. read more

This place has the best tacos in the area. I've tried many menu items here and everything has been delicious. The bang bang shrimp tacos are very tasty. I also like their street corn nachos, quesadillas, and taco salads. It has a hip vibe with cool artwork and good service. read more

Excellent Cali chicken burrito with French fries in the burrito. The chicken was tender, everything flavorful. I'm glad I sat there and ate because there was a selection of Talkin Tacos hot sauces that added a lot to the burrito. Not sure I would get the street corn in a cup again because it tasted like it came from a can. At least make it from frozen corn. You can always taste it if corn came from a can despite all the cheese you put in it. read more

Talking tacos is a cute taco spot uptown. The decor is pretty. They have kiosk where you can place your order either to go or eat in. The restaurant is not huge but they have seating at the counter and i believe at least 5 tables. The birria tacos were good and so were the achiote chicken tacos. All of he tacos were cold so idk if that's the vibe there. I prefer my filling hot. The nachos were goooood. The tortilla chips were crispy and salty. I'm not a fan of the avocado cream it was sweet. I would go back to try the birria ramen and there burritos. The staff was very friendly. read more

Super clean and vibrant!! Fast and easy pickup service! Ordered at 2:17pm and got it at 2:30 pm ! Ordered the 3 taco: birria, southwest chicken & carne asada! Birria was 12/10 super good, moist and seasoned well! Southwest chicken was super yummy and something i've never gotten before, carne asada was fricking good. So getting it every time i'm in the area. Also got the esquite and so yummy but too spicy for my liking. read more

Halal tacos spot in the Heights. This seems to be a Florida based chain that is expanding its reach. I had the Caribbean carne taco, steak al pastor taco and the mahi mahi taco. The mixture of ingredients made for an enjoyable lunch. The tortillas tasted good, but I would prefer two per taco. Plenty of steak was given on each taco. I would have liked more fish on the mahi mahi taco, as I had a few bites that were all cabbage. I wouldn't call this authentic, as there was a certain something that is central to Mexican cuisine which this restaurant does not offer. However, if you are looking for Florida/California style tacos, this is a worthy option. read more

As someone from LA, I thought the taco game was a bit lacking. Very over priced for the area and taste. They didn't feel authentic rather they attempted to be creative and it just missed the mark. It is a self service kiosk but a waiter delivers the food. Inside it's neon and attempting to be clubby. read more

I'm honestly very disappointed with my experience at Talking Taco last night. I stopped by for a late-night dinner and ended up witnessing extremely unprofessional behavior from one of the employees. A customer placed a second order, and the employee accused them of trying to get free food. The customer calmly explained that wasn't the case and that they were simply ordering again. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the employee became loud, disrespectful, and escalated things way too far. At one point, the employee even took off his shirt and tried to fight the customer, while other staff members had to hold him back. He continued to provoke the situation, even going as far as threatening to spit on the customer. It was completely inappropriate and uncomfortable to witness. Situations like this should always be handled with professionalism and respect. We should treat people the way we want to be treated. This was not a good look at all Hoping management addresses this and makes the necessary changes. read more

I tried various tacos on the menu including the birria, carne asada, chicken, pork and fish tacos and they were all great with lots of fillings. Great seasoning of the tacos. I would definitely order again! read more

Ordered birria grilled cheese and birria ramen from here via Uber Eats, absolutely delicious . I will be ordering from here again.

delicious and we got it delivered! our new favorite place! will come back to try other food on the menu.. most satisfying tacos i ever had

Easy ordering, quick service, the staff is very helpful with the whole ordering process. Food is brought out to your table, made to order. No food sitting around. Tables are wiped down after each use. Very comparable to other Mexican restaurants nearby... a touch on the pricey said for say a larger family where many other options nearby are much cheaper. Still good to check out at least once. read more

I'm not going to tell you its cheap. But its definitely good. You can really get anything on the menu and you won't regret it. I got the shrimp tacos and I'm not even a big shrimp taco guy but they were awesome. I got delivery so I can't really speak to the service. I've walked by the building though and it looks really cool. They definitely went the extra mile with the design and it stands out. read more
