This place is unassuming and off modest, so I thought what can go wrong with donuts and tacos? Absolutely nothing, this place is cravable in the best way! The cashier recommended the mahi-mahi and the chicken tacos. Both exceeded my expectations, but I think I prefer the mahi-mahi. The shredded chicken was juicy and tender though. The mini donuts were next level; they put carnival mini donuts to shame. I ordered the Boston cream because that's my favorite kind of doughnut. I inhaled these things; they were melt-in-your-mouth soft, sweet, and made to order so they were incredibly fresh. I can see people coming here in droves after a night of drinking, but everything was delicious sober and in the . I'm so glad I came here! Side note - I forgot to take a picture of the mahi-mahi taco and the donuts because I ate them so quickly. I ordered the chicken taco after I ate both of those. read more

Taquero - Chicken taco - Tacos Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

Food is good. I had three (chicken) street tacos. The chicken was tender albeit a bit dry. Fresh cilantro and white onion. Soft shells were tender too. Salsa comes with order; not a pico de gallo but a crushed canned tomato salsa- sweet and tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Some inside and outdoor seating at a bar style table. I have yet to try their donuts and juices. read more

I was talked into going for the donuts. It was lunchtime so I didn't want anything sweet. I tried the barbacoa taco and it was amazing! The donuts were great but that taco was a tough act to follow. The staff was friendly and efficient. I can't wait to go back and try the tinga chicken dip and the quesadilla. read more

Great location, excellent idea: donuts & tacos...wonderful service. We got the warm blueberry hibiscus yumminess. We only got some yummy donuts this trip. It's a shame this is In Saratoga and not closer to home. We will come back for the savory. read more

Overall, we had a great experience here! The service was very kind and super helpful as we ask questions about the menu items and offerings. We got two types of donuts, the maple bacon, and the blueberry hibiscus. The maple bacon was very bacon forward, you really couldn't taste any maple. The blueberry hibiscus were flavored with flavor crystals rather than actual blueberries or anything else really. But both donuts were lovely and freshly made all the tacos were great except my mahi tacos. The fish unfortunately was dry as a bone. They do have tables along the wall to sit at and some tables outside to sit out if you're there for lunch. There is typically a line out the door, so I wouldn't suggest thinking that you were going to find a table. This place is definitely more geared toward take out orders. Fresca's were super delicious! I got the passionfruit, but I preferred the guava. Everything was nicely flavored and they had a nice assortment of hot sauces. read more

"We paid $15.00 for chips and salsa." was a quote from my husband. My husband went here in the winter and really raved about how awesome it was and wanted to take us as a family, as we recently moved back to my hometown from Texas. We have found one taco place we go to, but it's pretty far, so we went to try. I would say it was middle of the road tacos and expensive for the tacos. My cilantro had a good amount of stems in it and I much prefer just the petals. Definitely appreciated the radishes. We are still in search of a taqueria that has cucumbers with Tajín as a side dish. As for the donuts, those are put together with particularity and you can tell they take pride in their donuts. My daughter got the maple bacon donuts and she really enjoyed them. There was plenty to share among three of us for dessert. So if you go with a friend who doesn't mind sharing, highly recommend one 6-pack. Service was standard for a quick pay at the counter place and it was nice that they have a lot of hot sauces to choose from! For three people, our pay at the counter bill for 9 tacos, 3 drinks and chips and salsa was $85.00. This would have been $50.00 in Austin TX (which does have the same cost of living, if not higher than Saratoga springs NY). Giving a 4 out of 5, because my husband has had multiple 5 out of 5 experiences. Ambiance is limited due to not having a lot of space for guests to eat, this is a high take out location. read more

Excellent rice and bean bowl. Helpful service. Great option for grabbing something to take back to the hotel.

There is no flavor to the tacos! I got the mahi mahi and it was so bland I thought I was eating cardboard. These tacos are truly for white people and white people only. The burrito my friend got was a bit better but it was still not worth the price. The cashier at the front applied a deodorant to her armpits while she was in the kitchen area/cash register. That was gross. If you want bland food cooked by white people, come here read more

Everything here is amazing. But I'm addicted to their donuts. The raspberry cheese cake is the favorite of my sisters. I love all of them. We went there 3 times this weekend. They accidentally omitted my key lime pie donuts, and when I returned the next day they happily gave them to me. Love the food, love the owners. They run a great business. read more

This is my first time at Taquero and I am thrilled I bought take out from them! There is dine-in seating along a wall that can accommodate eight people I think. The entire establishment is colorful, and super clean! I had a cucumber lime Aqua Fresca while we waited for our order to be prepared. It was delicious!! I wish it was a little bit more lime tasting. I can squeeze fresh lime into it next time I go! They also offer horchata, and Jamaica Aqua Fresca! $3.25 for a ln ample serving! We ordered one carnitas bowl, a cauliflower burrito, and 3 chicken Tinga street tacos. I also asked for a side serving of just Barbacoa for our dog. We didn't receive the Barbacoa, nor were we charged for it. The portions are very large. I will easily have two meals from my Carnitas bowl. They have take out packets of various hot sauces! It looks like there might be a lunch counter style seating set up outside in warmer weather. Not completely certain about that. AND!!! They have fresh from the donut maker mini donuts! OMG! We got six cinnamon sugar. They were still warm and absolutely swoon worthy! I will definitely be back! read more

Taquero - Horchata - Tacos Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

In a city with a glut of "fine" dining or at least table service places I really appreciate this casual laid back counter service option. The combination of tacos and donuts is interesting. I just had tacos. Ingredients looked fresh and presentation was great. They were good size and overall portions seemed appropriate for the price. Staff was friendly. BUT... the meat was completely tasteless. Chicken, pork, and steak were just bland and lacking in flavor. Tacos by white people. Still decent in a pinch if looking for a quick meal but set your expectations accordingly. read more

Favorite place for a quick dinner in Saratoga. It's easy to order more or less food depending on how hungry I am and the tacos are yum! Only drawback is that it's really a walkup kind of place, so if you want to sit down it's not always easy to do. read more

this is a takeout place. i always get the tinga de pollo street tacos (with soft corn tortillas) with an extra side of salsa. the chicken is well seasoned and very juicy and they give you limes with the street tacos. they are doubled wrapped (great bc the tortillas fall apart when too wet). this is my favorite taco place around here. their donuts are also amazing as well. each type is a basic cinnamon sugar donut with whichever toppings you choose. the maple bacon is very good, with a lot of bacon for a nice sweet/salty. the cookies and cream is sweet all the way through but still delicious and true to form. the service is very fast, if you order online it'll be ready in 10 mins. for a takeout place the ambiance is nice and welcoming. ordering online is very easy and streamlined. highly recommend! they also do taco boxes if you're looking for a party food read more

This place is exactly what one hopes for in a hole-in-the-wall taqueria. Both the fish tacos and the steak tacos were great. Very little seating, but should be fine except for the busiest times, especially if the outdoor seating is available. read more

Our food was outstanding!! We enjoyed a carnitas bowl and the taco special. Savored every bite. Topped it off with a homemade Horchata. Ingredients were so fresh. Walked to the park 2 blocks away to eat and enjoy the scenery. We're foodies and this place came recommended by a local shop owner. Get off Main Street and try this place!!! Highly recommend. read more

15 yo daughter says the carne asada bowl is some of the best food she's ever had! Looks great!

The strangest food combo ever! The tacos were a pass for me, lacking flavor and spice. However the donuts redeemed this place. The cinnamon sugar donuts were small, warm, freshly made and delicious. We ordered 6 and were given 8 (I'm not complaining). The danger of a small treat is you don't feel as guilty when they're small and pop right in your mouth. read more

AWESOME. Not only did they stay open a few extra minutes for me because I was late getting there and couldn't find any other place open, the staff was awesome, fun, and friendly. Literally the best carnitas tacos I've had in a long time (on the east coast) and the fact I found them in an alley in Saratoga... color me shocked. Add this place to your list! read more

This place was delicious - we got a tinga de pollo bowl, small queso & chips, the 3 street tacos (mahi mahi, carnitas, & barbacoa) and the banana cream donuts - $45. The queso was good, not spicy at all, but cheesy and the chips had a little flavor on them. The bowl and the tacos were very good - the bowl was a good size and the tacos were very good, especially the carnitas and barbacoa (not a fan of the mahi mahi one, it was very bland and I didn't taste the pineapple salsa at all) The donuts were so good! Cinnamon/sugar donuts with the banana pie topping, which was kind of like a banana pudding taste and some crumbles on top. yummy! This place is VERY SMALL - no tables, just a narrow counter to eat at for about 8 people. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was friendly for a takeout place. Food was good. I had chicken street tacos with onions that came with radish, lime and salsa sauce. My husband had steak street tacos with onion, cilantro, radish slices, lime and salsa sauce. He found the steak to be bland but otherwise okay. I also had guac with chips--guac was perfect. I also loved the corn tortillas that came with the tacos. Looked freshly made. Would recommend. read more

Yum!!! Tacos and donuts!! We got the 6 taco basket with Korean pork and barbacoa-- the Korean pork was AMAZING and all the toppings were super fresh and tasty!! We also got chocolate peanut butter donuts and they were SO GOOD. We were able to order online easily and had it delivered to our hotel, it came withi. 39 minutes of ordering. So glad we found this place while staying in the area, they may have been the best tacos we've ever had! Wish we were staying longer to try the others. read more

Our first time ordering and we went with the Taco Box - great variety of sides and plenty of food to go around. We tried the Barbacoa and mahi-mahi, both were delicious and had great flavor on their own. Everything was piping hot. The cinnamon sugar donuts were delicious, although I would call them donut holes instead of an actual donut due to their small size. The only disappointment were the tortillas. While okay warm, as soon as they got room temperature, they became hard and chewy. read more

Taquero - Taco kit - Tacos Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

OK. 4 stars it is. I was tempted to do 3...since it seems that I'm quickly becoming a curmudgeon. The music was obnoxiously loud...and this is basically a take out place. I mean...I like music. I also like my eardrums....and....to perhaps have a conversation with the person that I'm dining with. I also like tacos and donuts. I mean...who doesn't? But holy crap; it's not a bar and it was barely 6pm on a weeknight. There are metal barstools and a narrow counter, but it's not a place for a comfortable sit-down meal. Tacos are messy, so assume the best position for shoving these in your pie-hole without getting it all over your fabulous ensemble. Ventilation is not a strong point, either. I got home and washed all of my clothes...and my jacket. I smelled like fried and grilled things. All that curmudgeon perspective and ranting aside, the food was good. The mahi taco was my least favorite as the fish was a bit dry and I had to spruce up the overall flavor with one of their homemade hot sauces. The really hot one (sauce) does not disappoint...definitely a solid kick. Cauliflower taco was quite good as was the Korean taco. Solid reviews on carnitas. Chips were crunchy with a bit of seasoning and the guacamole was just right. Cucumber lime beverage was light and refreshing. Staff was very nice/friendly and food prep was fast. I didn't partake in the donuts. It's the new year and I'm trying to reduce my recent holiday and stress-eating bloat. The donut flavors were definitely tempting. Once I deflate and want to treat myself, I'll hit up some of those mini donuts. Anyway, the tacos are good - and they are filled somewhat generously. That helps with the price point (spent about $40 for 4 street-style tacos, chips, guacamole and soft beverages). read more

Smart, smart idea to put a Donut Robot in the window at the old Mio Posto location so Caroline St revelers can be lured by the sight of fresh hot donuts coming off the assembly line. Step inside, and you'll find a small but solid taco menu (wish they'd add al pastor) to coat your stomach before the sugar rush. We tried fish (ok) and carnitas (excellent) on the first visit. Portions of fillings are generous but they overwhelm the small tortilla and you will end up licking bits off your finger by the end. Not that I'm complaining, but it would be nice to slip a second tortilla under to spread out the pleasure. There are bottled hot sauces on the counter that runs along the wall (and is the only seating--we're not talking Valentine's Day romance here) Mexican lunchroom style, but you'd be better off with the house-made sauces on the counter where you collect your order. All in all, a solid addition to the downtown Saratoga scene and to my lunchtime rotation. Of note, we made our initial visit at noon on New Year's Day and the staff was on duty despite being open till 4 am the night before. Now that's dedication. read more

Saratoga has long had a gaping hole in its culinary scene...fast serve tacos. The kind you get from a truck or a take out. The kind you eat on the spot while standing, without ceremony, then order a couple more. We have a few solid Mexican restaurants, but they're all sit down affairs. Taqueria is welcome and fills that gap. It's a small place either car seating around the outside. Tacos are delicious and serves on toasted corn tortillas with a little char and topped with good bits like pickled onion, cilantro, queso fresca, etc. Despite my enthusiasm for the food, the tacos aren't exactly cheap at around $4-6 each. I feel like some taco stand owners around the country would gasp in disbelief that they could get the same price. It's not exactly a princely sum but certainly a premium to the average. That keeps the place from being 5 stars. The doughnuts here are great! Hot out of oil with a machine in the window and topped with flavored glaze. They're fluffy, delicious and a bargain at $4 for 6 mini doughnuts. read more

Tacos and donuts are beloved by all (or most). So why not put them together in one establishment ! Not too mention these donuts were itty bitty, but still fresh and delicious and covered in toppings. (I chose the toffee coffee flavor - they came in a 6 pack) I also opted for a burrito bowl with Chicken . The flavors in the bowl were great! (cilantro, queso , and some type of dressing , flavorful chicken and very filling rice and beans) ! The bowl, donuts and can of soda came to around $16 , excellent ! Not much of a seating area either indoors or out but we chose to eat our food at nearby Congress park. (until it started raining that is) But the donuts made for a great pit stop snack on our way home from Buffalo! I will definitely sing their praises about this place whenever I know of someone visiting that area! read more

Get the taco box. The Korean pork is awesome. Everything is flavorful and consistently delicious.

Taquero is on one of the back streets of Saratoga and has an interesting concept going on. Tacos and donuts are both amazing so why not have them together. First off when we went they were out of some items which is a good thing since that means they make them fresh. I tried pretty much every tacos on the menu. They were all good portions so you definitely get your moneys worth. The problem was the meat was dry across the board. The mahi mahi was also dry which was a shame. All good the flavors were still good. Now for the star of the show... the donuts. I got the chocolate peanut butter donuts and they were amazing. FYI, you can get only one flavor for the 6 mini donuts. No mixing and matching. In my opinion the donuts are much better than the tacos so make sure you don't leave without ordering these. Cool place overall! I can see this being a good late night spot after the bars on Caroline st close. Check it out! read more

Wow wow wow. My brother and sister in law recommended this place when I told them I'd be in Saratoga Springs. Delicious tacos. Delicious donuts. I'm still thinking about the cucumber limeade I had.

Stopped here for a quick bite in between some errands. I had placed my order online (Taco Birria and side of rice and beans) it was done quickly and price was fair. Although I got one taco it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The toppings were super fresh, crunchy and abundant. Rice was also perfectly cooked (believe it or not but this is not always achieved everywhere) and the beans stewed for the right amount of time. I was greeted with a friendly smile when I walked in to pick up my food. Loved that it's walking distance to a lot of local shopping. Definitely recommending and will be stopping in again myself. read more
