Treehouse Taqueria - Lobster tacos - Tacos Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Latino Shepard - what a fantastic dip. Really enjoyed it. Birria tacos were awesome. Would 100 percent come back just for those two items. Also ordered some lobster tacos. Medley on top was great - I'm just not a lobster fan, so can't really judge about the lobster itself. Place has some awesome sitting areas. Worth a visit for sure. read more

Came here with a group of friends for a quick bite and really enjoyed our time here. The venue is really cute and trendy, plenty of seating, and a nice view of the Main Street. We walked in and were seated immediately which felt really lucky for a group of 5, especially as they don't take reservations here. Their menu is clearly labeled with Gluten Free, Vegan, & Vegetarian options. As someone with Celiac I felt really safe eating here and was really happy with the amount of Gluten Free options available to me. We shared the street corn dip "Esquite" as an appetizer, it was really fresh and delicious. I had the chicken tinga tacos for my meal and would recommend it! They gave an entire wall of sauces to choose from for your tacos. And my favorite item was their mint mojito, absolutely top notch. Really friendly staff, overall great time here. read more

Terrible experience! Finished dinner and went to Treehouse for drinks. The hostess wouldn't seat us with our leftover pizza box. I tucked it on the floor under the wait bench. Then she wouldn't seat us for just drinks, we had to order meals. I said what if we get apps, she said "It would have to be a lot of them". We sat and ordered cocktails and an appetizer platter from a waiter that obviously didn't want to be there. Our drinks were terrible, I couldn't even sip on mine. Our waiter never came over to check on us or ask how things were. We he finally did I told him my drink was horrible and he could have cared less. We just paid the check and left, we won't be back read more

We had an amazing meal here, the lobster and short rib taco are to die for. The staff is so lovely and the drinks were excellent. Check out this gem! read more

Came very close to the closing of the kitchen but they were still able to get out order in! Got the guac, main lobster taco, seasonal veggie taco, and bbq jackfruit - all outstanding. As were the cocktails!! Their outdoor seating area is very welcoming, it makes me feel like I'm in someone's backyard. Out waitress was super sweet and our food came out right away. Definitely recommend stopping in! read more

tl;dr armed with an approachable Mexican-fusion menu and a bevy of mixed drink options, this rooftop bar has some surprisingly stellar offerings Ogunquit can begin to reach Jersey Shore levels of busyness as the summer ramps up. And when all the other Ogunquit sit-down options look like an hour-long queue on a weekend evening, Treehouse Taqueria is the hidden gem you need. Tucked away slightly off the main road and above an ice creamery, Treehouse is aptly named, kept secluded by trees on one side and a large awning on the other. Lawn furniture, stainless steel bar top tables, strings of bulb lights, and plenty of house plants complete a college-dorm-eque aesthetic. I swung by around 8:30 with a hungry part of four, and we were promptly seated (tables are first-come, first served). Of note, the kitchen closes at 9, even on weekends!. We opted for a Latino Shephard to share, and then we each ordered a mix-and-match Taco Plate (2 large tacos and a side for $14). The Latino Shepherd (the Treehouse rendition of seven-layer dip) was tasty -- I couldn't help but stuff my face with it as I eagerly awaited my taco plate. The Birria tacos were a highlight -- generous portions of rich, melt-in-your-mouth meat (without overwhelming grease!) were served beside an unorthodox side of au jus. However, the other taco offerings didn't meet the same high bar. The Maine Lobster tacos felt gimmicky at best, with the lobster only a moderate improvement over classic fish tacos. Consensus: probably not worth the $6 upgrade. The BBQ Jackfruit taco was similarly middling: while I thought the jackfruit had a pleasant texture and flavor, the house BBQ sauce ran a tad sugary for my taste. The sides fell somewhere between nice and forgettable. The classic Treehouse Margaritas was excellent, finding a nice balance between flavorful, strong, and affordable ($8). I absolutely love that they offered Tajin to rim the glasses. Definitely opt for these over the other cocktail offerings -- the premium Pink Dragon cocktail was laughably small and slightly less yummy than the margs. Service was attentive without feeling overbearing. Whether erring too safe or too ambitious, I find that fusion cuisine can often miss the mark. But not so at Treehouse. While some of our eats were forgettable, I could not recommend a classic marg and Birria Taco Plate (even as someone who loves variety, I'd say don't mix and match) any more strongly. read more

Safe to say this is Ogunquit's new gem! The restaurant itself has a fun, whimsical, chill atmosphere matched with thoughtful and adorable decor. Patio seating under the "treehouse" was very cool; one side overlooks the heart of downtown Ogunquit, and the other gives you a peek into their open kitchen and their glowing bar. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and they have a great flow given the newness of the restaurant. Service was friendly, expeditious, attentive--left nothing to be desired. The food was outstanding. We indulged in guacamole with seasonal fruit (mango that day--really unique and fresh) and queso to start. The Paloma cocktail was refreshing--will absolutely try another one of their specialty drinks next time. For our main courses, we enjoyed two surf and turf tacos and the above pictured shrimp and lobster tacos. Again, we were extremely impressed with the quality and the freshness of the meat, seafood, and the accoutrements. My favorite was the pineapple salsa on the shrimp tacos. Talented chefs, dedicated staff, great energy here. Will be back soon! read more

Updating my review: Given the fact that I tried to find some positive aspects in our experience with this restaurant (which was honestly difficult) and the owner responded to my 3 star review with snide remarks about me spending so much time to provide a review, I am lowering to 2 stars. I felt like 3 stars was as fair as I could be, but the owner's response validated I was too hopeful this was an off visit when I gave 3. I rely heavily on Yelp reviews to help me navigate my experiences while on vacation and I provide honest reviews to assist others. The owners response is a clear indicator of the fact that he does not understand that the reviews being provided are not indicating an experience worthy to complain to the server about, but there is an operational issue here - your food is bland, overall not well prepared, and it is overpriced. Your servers cannot fix this. You can. Take ownership in your poor reviews and do your business a favor and fix the true issues being reported. The 5 star reviews are clearly not true reviews of the experience here and are you and your pals fluffing your rating. Cheers! This place looks super cool at first glance and we really enjoyed the vibe when we first walked in. To enter the restaurant, you need to take outside steps up to the second floor patio. The restaurant's namesake, "treehouse", comes from the fact that there is a large upper deck built around a tree (which is unfortunately dying). When you enter into the restaurant off the deck, you first enter an enclosed deck with lots of patio lights and then there's a small indoor restaurant and bar next to that. We were quickly seated and given a two page menu. One side was all drinks and the other side with food. Not a ton of options, but we were still intrigued By many of the unique options offered. The drink menu looks really fun and includes lots of colorful drinks, with cute names and even has buckets as a shareable option. I ordered the Ogunquit Cosmo and it was just OK. Nothing about the drink really stood out to me. We ordered the Latino Shepard to start, which is like a layered dip with tortilla chips. The flavor was OK and I liked the mixture, but because the dip came out lukewarm the cheese was kind of chunky on the bottom end it wasn't as pleasing as I think it would've been if it was really warm and melty. The chips were blue corn tortilla chips and were clearly from a package, nothing special. We also purchased the taco trio with a lobster taco, birria, and a Chicky Chorizo taco. The Birria was the favorite. It had lots of pulled meat and cheese Inside, which was folded and grilled between the taco. It also came with an au jus you that was really flavorful. The chickie chorizo was very bland and we ended up dipping that in the au jus as well. The lobster taco was pretty good and had a fair amount of meat in it, but surprisingly was not our favorite taco and felt that the taco ingredients overpower the lobster meat. We opted for the side of rice and beans which was pretty standard. Our friends also agree that their meal was just OK and they were hoping for a better experience. It was a neat place to visit and the service was pleasant enough, but we would likely not come back with all the other options in town as the food and drinks left us craving something more. read more

I really don't want to be that person leaving a review during a pandemic but I would like to help someone else learn from my experience because this is a highly trafficked place, often bustling, that is likely to come up high in the search. I drove for several hours just to try these tacos based on other Yelp reviews. Also, their Instagram pics looked irresistible. By all accounts, this appeared likely to be a solid place and the creativity seemed promising. We walked in around 4pm and there was enough room out back to sit right out by open air, which was hopeful because we had passed by this place a week prior a little later in the evening and it was bustling. The service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the Jackfruit taco, which I'd been very intrigued about. We also ordered the Beyond Taco, the beef taco (Saucy Gringo) and the chicken taco (Chicky Chorizo). So what went wrong? The tacos were cold and ranged from gross to barely okay. The jackfruit inside the taco itself was alright, but the taco as a whole was cloyingly sweet. The Beyond Taco was downright inedible; my partner, who is usually a human vacuum cleaner, couldn't even help me out. I think dog food out of a can would probably be more edible. The chicken and beef tacos were passable but they didn't seem to be at their freshest, and it was odd that they were cold. If you look at the photo I took, you'll probably notice that the tacos don't seem to be at peak freshness despite having a lot going on visually. The experience left me wondering if this place is a tourist trap. I cannot justify three stars for ambiance and service alone. read more

How on earth is this place well rated?? Let's start with the outdoor seating which is fully contained by side plastic. Might as well be inside which is what we were avoiding. Then my kid cant have hard chips (braces) so I ask for a tortilla instead for their dip and they charge me an extra $1.00 to swap. So stupid. The waitresses were awful. Had to ask multiple time for cutlery and napkins once food came. The food can super fast so no surprise it was cold. Kids tacos were just clumps of cold cheese with barely anything else. The adult tacos were bland (had to ask for hot sauce) and served in a metal tray (lobster, beef and chicken all bad) and sides of rice and beans for $5 were tiny and served in leaking paper bowls. This place tried too hard to be something other than just good tacos and in the process they killed the food. Hard pass on this place. read more

I went to this restaurant with my vegan sister-in-law and my brother. Our waitress was kind and helpful to my sister-in-law to be able to find food that she would enjoy. She was very happy to see that there was also a vegan dessert choice. We were there in a Tuesday for tacos and they are two tacos for $15 or three for $20 and they came with a side plate of rice and beans. We were all pleased with the taste and portion size of each. read more

3.5. Fun atmosphere. Fun decor. Nice servers. Hearty drink selection. Tacos are ok. Drowning in cheese and a bit greasy. Rice and beans were bland and not traditional. Blue corn tortilla chips rocked! Like zest/sprinkle on queso dip was great. Price is reasonable and fun place to stop near the beach. 90s pop music -young attitude = fun read more

I went in on a Friday night to grab a few tacos and a quick cocktail during my solo trip to Ogunquit. The hostess was abrupt rolled her eyes and told me I have to wait. I asked how long it might be and as a single I was happy to sit anywhere. She did not seem happy to help me. I decided that vacation shouldn't be stressful and decided to head somewhere else. I can give a star for the decor and cute location but that's about it. read more

We absolutely love the Treehouse Taqueria! The setting is so perfect and you actually feel like you are in a treehouse. We sat outside and we just felt like we were hanging out at a friends house for dinner and drinks. It was such a comfortable atmosphere. The food was even more amazing! We had the esquite, the Latino Shepard dip, Birria tacos, the bbq jackfruit tacos and the impossible taco and they were all so amazing. The impossible taco was so delicious that I am still thinking about it days later. Everything had such great flavors! Highly, highly recommend. read more

First time at Treehouse, we usually go over to Banditos for our yearly trip to Ogunquit, but decided to try here instead. Host was very accommodating as we did not know if we wanted to be inside or outside. Our waitress Katarina was very patient with our party and an overall a great server. I got the Impossible Taco (fake beef & vegan) & the birria taco (shortrib). The impossible taco tasted exactly like a real beef taco, absolutely AMAZING!!! And the Birria was super delicious. Perfect amount of food as the 2 tacos came with rice & beans. Margaritas were tasty and fresh- great drink options at a fair price!!! Will definitely be coming back here each year (instead of Banditos) because this has got to be one of the best taco joints I've been to! Great work Treehouse!!! read more

I was able to catch the season opening this year while travelling through Ogunquit. Coming from San Diego, it's rare to find tacos that can hold up to our border-town original fare. I started with the Hula Girl rum drink, which was so good I drank it too fast. A couple more of these and I might have been hula'ing around the place myself. I switched to the House Margarita which was equally as good. No cheap sugar, stomach acid-burning marg mix in this place. I ordered the 2 taco plate with a Birria and a BBQ Jackfruit. Both were amazing. The Birria is a grilled taco with tender short rib and cheese, and this unexpected side dipping au jus that I literally wanted to pour on everything. The jackfruit was delish. I'm a meat eater but always on the lookout for non-meat plant based substitutes when available and this taco didn't disappoint. Tortilla chips were fresh and warm. Coming from San Diego, cold and stale chips are my pet peeve. Others in my group ordered the Esquite mexican street corn which they raved about and woofed down, as they did the Latino Shepard, which has a nice hidden pocket of short rib tucked down in the cheese and quac. Coming out of a pandemic, it's important to help support local small restaurants and my philosophy is to just slow down, give the staff a break and enjoy being able to go out again. This place had a great crowd and the staff was fun and very attentive. They were just as excited to be open again as we were to be out. I read a few of the other reviews on here and honestly people need to stop pretending they are the phantom gourmet. If you have an issue with your food, speak up! They are doing their best and I guarantee you that small businesses like this would do everything in their power to make sure you are happy with your food and your experience. Don't screw them over by posting some sneak-attack crap review. If you are the only 2 star review in a bunch of 5's then maybe you need to check yourself. I just love the whole theme of this place. Too often Mexican food to New Englanders means Taco Bell. The little design details, neon signs, all-inclusive bathrooms, seat pillows, & menu were awesome with good food to match. It's worth a stop on your trip up Route 1. Take a break from fried fish and treat yourself to something new. read more

Cute restaurant that looks down into downtown Ogunquit. Good tacos, salsas, and just ok queso (we wondered if it was vegan-it tasted like a cashew cheese to us?) It's always nice to find vegetarian options while out on vacation-and this restaurant offers several options which is great! Prices seemed high to me. I think we paid around $7 for one vegetarian taco and around $10-12 for a meat taco. read more

Phenomenal food. Great drinks. Awesome vibe. Good views. 10/10 would recommend! Also, PLENTY of vegan options :)

Wow! Now, I may be bias because tacos are my all time favorite food, but at the same time I think that makes me very picky... With that said, this place was phenomenal! Our drinks were delicious - not watered down but also not unbearably strong. We nibbled on the salsa to start - not spicy (I could've gone a bit spicier but enjoyed this). Our tacos - mouth watering. I honestly could've ate more. I had the chicky and the special which was a fresh hallibut. I also had the corn dish as a side. I had to ask our waitress what kind of cheese it was made with so I could replicate at home - IT WAS THAT DELICIOUS!! Talk about flavor!! The live music after being quarantined was an added, nostalgic bonus. I will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more
