Don't be in a hurry when you come but expect it to be worth the wait. The tacos at the Taco factory (for the most part) are delicious and juicy. We tried all three pork (barbacoa, sweet and roasted), chicken and chorizo. The roasted pork was really dry but the rest were really good. They stuff the tacos so full of meat you could take the second shell off and make a new taco. The service is slow and the place is not much to look at but its a nice hole in the wall Mexican restaurant worth checking out. Taste 9/10 quality vs cost 10/10 service 7/10 presentation 7/10 atmosphere and ambiance 7/10 40/50 = 4 star read more

The Taco Factory - Pork Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, New York

Walked in and restaurant is clean and has nice music playing. Waitress came out from the back and she said we could sit anywhere so we did. Restaurant was completely empty so we had a lot of options. Waitress brought us some complementary chips and a green salsa or sauce, both were good. We placed our orders and the enchiladas were not bad but I wouldn't order them again. Beans and rice were dry but okay. Service was...okay. She came to our table a grand total of 3 times. I never got the chance to order another drink. The tacos were good. Won't be back to this Mexican restaurant but glad we gave it a try. read more

There are many Mexican restaurants in the area but this is one of the best in terms of quality, freshness, and authenticity. Delicious tacos and their cemitas (sandwiches) are my favorite. Service is always great, restaurant is clean, and parking usually isn't too much of an issue. Wish prices were a little better but I guess I don't mind too much if the food is good. I'll be back! read more

The Taco Factory - Al pastor taco and 2 taco dorados (hard shell) de lengua - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, New York

There isn't a single menu item that isn't prepared fresh and delicious. The Gordita's are filling and flavorful. The tacos dorado are fresh and abundantly tasty. The burrito is huge! I can never decide what protein as the chicken, steak and pork all offer such a sensation on the palate. The ambiance is great and it finished its renovation from a year or so ago. But really, the grated cheese and sour cream is made with doe ingredient that makes it addictive. read more

My wife and I love tacos and so when we tried this establishment, we were very happy and content, even though we're not from this area, we would highly recommend the taco factory and the next time we get back in that area we go again thank you very much read more

Great lunch. Everything is home made in house. It's not fast but it's so worth it! We started with guacamole and moved on to shrimp tacos, and a few other individual tacos. Really exceptional taste and freshness. Very authentic with Mexican music and a team that has worked together and knows the menu favorites well. Glad we stopped! read more

Fresh and delicious! Allow time since food is made to order, staff is very friendly and welcoming.

The Taco Factory is the best. Truly enjoyed every meal here. The service is top notch and the original paintings are beautiful.

"So, this place called Tacos Factory in Middletown is pretty famous for making their own tacos. The rice and beans were great, but the steak was kind of like a New York strip cooked Mexican-style and a bit too fatty and dry. Plus, the wait was way too long because it got super crowded. Also, the waitress was really nice and kind, but I don't blame her at all. I blame the management for not teaching her to be more expedited. It's like they don't realize that a lot of reviews mention the same thing: the waiting time is always too long." read more

You get a lot of food for the money. Lots of GF options as well. I had the green shrimp with rice and a side salad as well as the guacamole and chips. I would say the chips were probably my least favorite of everything and the guacamole could use a little more salt but the shrimp was cooked perfectly and everything was fresh and had lots of flavor. read more

This was my first time ever trying The Taco Factory! I sat at the bar while waiting on my takeout order. The ambiance was great! I got to meet the boss who made drinks for us. He was such a delight and very accommodating. The drinks were fantastic and strong just how i like it. Everything is made fresh and truly delicious. I got the hard tacos and a torta, i have no complaints. This is now my new favorite taco spot! read more

There is a bit of a wait for your food but it's totally worth it. The food is really delicious. I will say I wish the rice and beans had a bit more flavor though. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Perfect lighting and the seating is beautiful. Staff is very kind and attentive. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This beautiful restaurant has seen a ton of transformation in the past 10 to 15 years. And let me tell you it keeps getting better . If you haven't been there in a year or more, youve gotta check it out again!!. Its a whole new experience. The restaurant is cleaner than ever and has been upgraded one thing at a time over the years. The food is excellent. My favorite is any burrito (it's not a traditional American style burrito & is so so so good). Everything here is freshly painted, they have beautiful new artwork and lighting, & all kinds of new structures for the kitchen and bar area. It really is something new to experience, if you have not been in a while. And the prices... So reasonable!. The service is excellent ALWAYS and I've been here a bunch over the years. It is family owned and operated. Absolutely exceptional and I'd reccomended to everyone!! (More now than the first review years ago) mmm!! read more

Birria tacos were incredible. Short wait time. Very under appreciated restaurant. Perfect for Lunch and Dinner

If you're on a time schedule and didn't pre order, I'd hold off for a bit longer. If you've got the time to sit down and wait then by All means do so. The food smells good, and is good. I haven't had the time to sit in and order but I have waited awhile for a called in order. read more

So happy to find Vegan tacos! We had vegan tacos and the "street tacos" with pork. Tortilla wraps are handmade, each taco comes with two. All ingredients were super fresh and tasty. Loved the added lime. Happy to pair the meal with Tamarind, would have preferred Tamarind juice over a soda pop with not so good ingredients but overall the meal was 4 stars. They do offer a small option of juices. Service was good. Ambiance was nice--loved the authentic Mexican decor. Next time I'm going to try the non-alcohol Sangria! read more

Great taste!!!!! Such a hide treasure...literally what people call a hole in the wall. read more

Been here a couple times, once before renovation and again after recently. Nice local spot, but Dos Amigos in Bloomingburg is the winner.

If you are craving for an authentic Mexican meal, this is the place to visit. Everything is made to order and the only downside is that it takes a while for them to prepare the food. My favorites are guacamole and hard shell tacos. I just wish they could give the decor a face lift - maybe an update on lighting and wall art. Otherwise, it's a place that won't let your picky palate down. read more

Delicious food always and it's consistently good authentic Mexican food. Place was just renovated so it looks good too. Service is great. The guy who works there is very kind. I hate to do this but I took away a star because it takes a while for the food to come out. I get that it's fresh food but it's a long wait. read more

In short get off yelp and go eat here like yesterday! The decision to eat here was influenced by Yelp constant showing me the Ad and seeing the reviews I figured whats the worst that can happen. It is located in proper Middletown away from the mall and fast food spots. It is a store front with decent amount of room and lots of tables. The prices were next to nothing with tacos starting at $1.95 and the bigger plates going up to $20+. As always when i find myself unable to select my default choice is 1 of everything so I did just that. I was not disappointed in the least bit. Soft tacos, hard tacos, and others whose names escape me each and everything was hot, exploding with flavor and GOOD! The Mexican sour cream has such a unique taste compliment with the green hot sauce it made for tasty additions. Needless to say when I was done my only decision left was do I order the same thing again because I just wanted to taste more of this feast. Truth be told the wait is rather long, but as they waiter explained everything is made fresh and once I took my first bite it won back the star I took away for the wait. It was worth it and for all that I ordered plus a drink I paid under $20. Price point, plus good eats, for a new place = 5 stars for me and you should go out of your way to try it. Anticipate the wait but enjoy the flavor. read more

Very tasty tacos! The quesadilla was huge! Guac is tasty, too! Ordering online for takeout was easy and ready quickly.

Taco factory Middletown review I walked in and was IMMEDIATELY greeted by Juan which I believe is the owner! I will say to take someone on a date or just to simply grab a bite to eat this place walking into it is nothing but pleasant. You walk in and you feel the culture in this beautiful establishment. the pictures on the wall down to the furniture simply magnificent. First stop always the bathroom to wash your hands and, of course probably one of the CLEANEST bathrooms I've ever walked into. Once seated Juan brought me over chips that are like no other chip chicharrines I've tasted before they taste very delicious by its self lightly salted, perfect! The wait time for 4 tacos received was probably about 7-10 minutes but once I got to them oh my taste buds were in heaven! Called gorditas I got chicken let me tell you! COME TRY THIS FOOD OUT FOR YOURSELF SIMPLY AMAZING!!! I UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 16 years continue the great job in here guys! You will see me again!!! read more

Waited 45 minutes or more for two simple items, left without eating lunch. Haha, I guess they're too busy doing takeout. I do not recommend this place. The waiter is very polite however, but the cooks need to get their shit together and understand the priority is the person sitting in their dining room. read more

I'm honestly not so sure what all the rave about this place is. Is it good? Yes. Is it worth waiting 1.5 hours for delivery for? Absolutely not. It is very authentic Mexican tacos that reminds me a place from where I used to live in Auburn. read more

The Taco Factory - Shrimp, Steak, and Pork Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, New York

Taco Factory is for sure a place you visit when you have TIME! We arrived here once before and was seated and ignored for about 15 mins. We were not given any water or chips or anything so we left and settled for something else. We decided we were going to come back another time because we hear great things about their tacos. This time we go and we are seated very quickly and we were given water but again we waited about 15 mins for anything else. We ordered our food and still waited for the chips to come out about 5 mins or so. My daughters Burrito was huge and she enjoyed her food very much. The guacamole was lacking flavor but the chips were really fresh and hot. My niece was accommodated because the only shrimp meals they had were spicy. They were able to give her Mexican style shrimp instead so she can enjoy her meal which was nice. My tacos on the other hand were not my favorite thing and I honestly would only order the Barbacoa ones if we ever return. Oh on a good note their horchata was pretty good. It has a different flavor then I am used to but I enjoyed it. Give them a shot! Remember my opinion is only mine and I know people who love it. read more

My family loves coming here ! Tacos are great !! Staff are always friendly. Always a good time.

Great ambiance and decor that match the delicious food with just the right amount of of spice. Welcoming host as well. Would recommend.

The service seems okay. The owner checked on the customers nearest us (not us). We ordered the chicken tacos, which were very stale and salty. My husband jokingly said this should be called "The Salt Factory" and I agree. Chunks of the chicken were tough to chew through and heavily salted, almost as if they were trying to mask the age of the meat. I would not recommend this spot for fresh and tasty tacos. read more

I don't know what to say but amazing ! Everything i ate was delicious The tacos, the guac everything The service was magnificent The decor was simple and open but I find that these are usually the hidden gems I was feeling for tacos when I initially walked in and the smell captivated me. I sat next to the grill and watched them handmade everything And when I say everything I mean everything I've never seen something more authentic in my life I truly believe everyone should stop by and try it and I promise you that you'll fall in love I've had tacos from everywhere and this by far the most authentic food I've tasted read more

The Taco Factory - Drinks - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, New York

Stopped here because we read the words "authentic" and "delicious" on other's reviews and they were right! I love finding legit delicious birria tacos. Crispy, warm and just the right spice with the salsa roja I ordered on the side. They might have remodeled recently because a few things felt pretty new/unfinished including the bathroom. But it was all super clean! Our servers were very polite and it was pretty quick. Would definitely come back again! read more

It was first time here had to park around the back and walk a way as they were doing street construction and couldn't park on the street in front. Got inside and they were still renovating made the atmosphere look horrible while trying to eat. Food tasted good but tortillas tasted store bought instead of hand made fresh by the mamasita with a bowl of Maez meal mix making the tortillas fresh in front of you! Might come back when construction is done! read more

Husbands and I's go to place probably more often then normal! Great authentic Mexican food 12/10 read more

The food is great, the waiter/waitress are great as well. It's always clean, even their bathrooms!

This place is legit. Homemade tortillas and sopes unlike anywhere else I've been. Simple street tacos with a protein of your choice with onions and cilantro. I added avocado to mine. The spicy green salsa verde was really good. A dollop of sour cream on top made a perfect balance between spicy, tangy, and fresh. I think my least favorite protein was the steak. Carnitas and chicken were both tasty. I will be back. The staff was very nice. The food took some time ro gerr to us but when they are making each sope and tortilla by hand per order, you should expect to wait. You can't rush a good thing. If you're in a hurry, don't be upset when your food takes some time to be perfected like abuela made it! read more
