Fresh Taco in other cities:
Great place is cheap and the food is good like it a lot
I love Fresh Taco, something I bought quesadillas too.
Interesting place. Tex Mex made by Asians. Good tacos.
DOESNT even deserve one star. My food had a green legged worm in it this is absolutely disgusting and made me sick for months .
Like like best best tacos made by Chinese. Good price and delicious. I used to go there from time to time to get tacos, quesadillas and burritos.
I truly love this place. They became a lot more friendly after seeing my face more offen. The male employee should never take orders over the phone. He was very rude. Over all I just started liking the place.
The food is always good… not authentic Mexican food but it gets the job done for a good priceThe delivery guy super RUDE and at times I think one of the ladies that answers the phone has got to be the most miserable person ever
Fresh Tacos are the best in the neighborhood, 99 cent Burritos. Cant beat that at all. Also they are really nice people.
Good food shady prices when ordering for delivery they will over price you and if you order food over certain prices they offer free taco or quesadilla but will never mention it to you unless you ask and will tell you too bad if you didn’t even know these people do have some good food but will nickel and dime you any chance they get make sure to always ask for there menu cause they like they alter there prices on the fly
The best fajitas you wiLL ever taste. aLways made fresh to order. I highLy recommend this pLace.
Absolutely LOVE this place!!!!!!!! Service is fast and great. Guacamole and Pico are both excellent and were GREAT on our grilled shrimp nachos with ground beef. We bought enough food for 2 days since the drive is a bit much for us. Hands-down the best Mexican food weve had in awhile. We definitely recommend Fresh Taco will be back soon!
The food had always taste great, but for some reason the lady who takes the order seems very angry and rude. Almost like if she dont have a sex life or something. Like people need to learn more customer service and this place lacks of it big time. But the food is always great, I just hope they dont spit in my food after leaving this review.
This is hands down the best place to get tostadas! Yummy Taco has NOTHING on them!!
The food is okay but the guy who takes the orders doesnt pay a lot of attention to what is specifically being requested so you dont get charged accurately and end up with missing items.
I have been eating here since 2006. They are somewhat of a neighborhood staple. I continue to order from this place despite a few things (for which I have removed 2 stars): the place isnt very clean, there have been several occasions of hair in the food, the quality of the food is poor. Main reason for continued business is that they are open very late compared to other places in the neighborhood and the food is consistent.
Fresh taco is not what it used to be. I ordered 39B jumbo grilled shrimp, chicken and beef burrito. The bread was dry and hard not soft like it once was. The rice was hard not fluffy and flavorful like it once was. The grilled beef and chicken was salty and burnt and the shrimp was small and dry and they only gave me 2. A far cry from the 5 I used to get. The only thing that was good was the chopped tomatoes and guacamole. Shame on them. I wasted my money here. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Cheap prices for simply made food. Occasionally a delivery will take a very long time and they will not be very helpful in solving the issue, but most of the time ordering and receiving is smooth. Their black bean soft tacos are good, although I wish they gave more hot sauce.
Dont get me wrong. Clean and fresh. But does it look like a burrito?
Honestly from my personal experience the food here is really freaking good. Something I would definitely recommend is the S3, it taste so damn good. But yes, costumer service is a issue at times but I hadnt had any recently. Especially with delivery. Which is a big improvement. However, anyone looking into this place be sure to try it out.
Is been a long time finally Im back in NYC and I couldnt miss this place the best tacos
Quesadillas dosent have enough chicken and cheese, the chicken is burns, the fries are greasy, no recommend, sorry.
I ordered the fried shrimp nachos. When I bit in to my shrimp I put the rest down on the plate and the shrimp was dirty. The shrimps body still had the feces in it. All the shrimp were dirty. That is disgusting and unsanitary. I’m really disappointed being I’ve been ordering here for years. Never ordering again.
I always order from happy fresh taco but i by accident order here and really hate that made that mistake. One. They are extremely cheap with the chicken i had put wrap then chicken. With 2 tacos and 2 quesadilla we HAD 1 little cup of extra spice. Now i know better to never order here. Happy fresh taco actually provides sour cream and salsa on the side 4 of each and they always fill the tacos with meat.... cross the street for better tacos. This place is cheap and food was not good!
When I lived in the neighborhood 20+ yrs this was one of my favorite spots. May I recommend the #21. 20 yrs later I come back and still cant go wrong with #21!
No frills tacos. Always consistent just like when they opened in 1993. When ever I am in Ridgewood this is the place to visit for take out tacos
The food was sooo greasy, the “Burrito” wasnt even wrapped! It was just food tossed into a soft taco shell and left open smh, the nachos barely had flavor, we were not pleased, the other place HAPPY Fresh Taco has MUCH better food, tons of flavor and not greasy at all, the food is served so nice and neat and delicious and they deliver so quick! The food is always hot and freshly prepared....But This place smh..they need to take notes for real. Im Never ordering from here again tbh. Even my kid was like “mommy, this place is like the knock off version of Happy Fresh Taco” lol 😂 its true tho, it wasnt good.
The delivery guys may not be human like. Dont expect them to show you any form of courtesy or politeness. Some will take hours to get to your address even if you live 10 mins away from the restaurant and wont even apologize or tell you why theyre late when you ask them, they will act like you not a human. Just give them the money and send them away, thats all you will get out from them. Get some hardworking, deserving and professional delivery guys to replace the current ones.
Always reliable and yummy . The flavors are not to complex but that’s just texmex for ya . Always a local favorite though 😍I usually stick to the quesadillas and burritos but the fries are sooo yummy too .
Delicious and authentic lunch. Everything is fresh. My only wish is that the most expensive items can be a little less costly, as I can see myself frequently ordering more if the prices can go down. Delivery could also use some improvement as sometimes it takes too long. Other than that, everything is great.
I love thier food and I wish they had more of these store throughout Newyork! The best customer service I ever had any where! I been going to them for 20 yrs now! Sad part is that I moved, but when ever Im in town this is the first place Ill stop to eat! The food is Very different then any other restaurant and you must try!
Fast service and the food is Always good
This little taco food joint is anything but little when it comes to flavor. But dont confuse it for that other name and style thieving taco joint across the street. Theres only one Fresh Taco store in Ridgewood, and this place delivers FAST FAST FAST.The crunchy and soft, tearable bread bowls in the tostada salads are a staple in our house.Mom always gets the steak salads and I make sure to scoop up some guacamolele, and rice and beans.It is by far the most reasonably-priced food location in town. And delicious to boot.I would have never thought to put basalmic vinegar and oil with my lemons steak and jalapeños. But I do now and yum yum yum.Everything is optional and they are super helpful.So get out your CASH cause there aint never been a credit machine at this little kitchen or with their delivery guys, but they are more than worth the trip to the atm or that candy bar purchase with extra cash at the counter of Rite Aid.Oh and dont think that because you cant understand her, that she cant understand you, the lady who answers the phone has you covered.Three thumbs up.
Horrible .Ive been a customer for years. I ordered 3 beef soft shell tacos ( bread is gummy)fried taco salad bowl.and not a bowl at all and seafood Paella is horrible n no scallops. They were rude as hell. I tipped driver $3 & my order was $21.00 & they kept hanging up on me 5vs... Food is NOT FRESH AT ALL 2 bad .I was told NOT TO CALL BACK REALLY!!
You need to come here for the soft chicken tacos. The place is clean and the food is fresh.They also have other stuff but the chicken taco are to die for especially with sour cream it really good.your best bet is to order the food and pick it up when you get there cause this place is always packed.
Very bad service!!! I waited over 2hrs for my food. When it was delivered it was the wrong order and they over charged me! Then I had to wait for my correct order which took another hour. Then the cashier had the nerve to tell me when I send back “the side of chicken” I will get my $2 back for her mistake! You would think if you made a mistake and had me waiting for over 3hrs and I received cold food, they would accommodate me some way! But noooooo!! Don’t order here! Run!!!!!!
The best tacos in town!!! And hot sauce as well! Been coming here for years!
They didn’t give me my free cheese quesadilla, and I asked for the steak with rice but when it came it just had steak. When I called back to complain the lady was really rude, I could barely understand her nor could she understand me and said they couldn’t come back to change my order I would have to order something for $10 for another delivery smh.
I dont know what happened to this place but i was extremely disappointed. Theyve become very cheap with the serving portions and the grilled chicken dont taste like chicken. I had better grilled chicken quesadillas from the local bodega.
Their taxes are very high and not the same every single time. The food takes forever even for takeout forget about delivery. Just tacos took 30-40min for pick up... didnt even get enough hot sauce when asked and customer service is horrible but enjoy the small portions that wont be enough to feed a 2 year old baby!!
Fresh Taco is authentic because no one makes quesadillas like them. We moved from ridgewood to south Richmond hill and go back to fresh taco to eat our quesadillas.
The customer service is disgusting! I placed my order at 7....it came at 7:45 and wasnt what I ordered. I called back and the lady said I asked for what was given which I didnt obviously. She had the nerve to tell me to go in person to bring the food back! We were back and forth on the phone for 15mins (constantly putting me on hold and picking up other calls) after all that time she said ok we are gonna to send your order. It took over an hour to get it. The food came cold and they forgot to send the free tacos. Your better off going in person...save yourself the headache!
The food is delicious the only reason why I giving it a 2 stars is because the customer service is sooooooooo dammmmm rude specially the Chinese driver that makes delivery he is so rude when he was downstairs and I asked him a simple question of him coming upstairs if he was able to and he came out so rude screaming over the phone. So when I came down to get the food I asked him why he was screaming and he told me if you dnt like it dont order anymore he gave me the change and he got mad because I didnt tip him after giving bad and inappropriate costumer service. They should change employees!
Fresh taco is always lit... I dont like that you have to mention the free food after a certain price threshold... other places just mention and ask which one do you want.. thats nice
First they don’t speak English food is nasty cold expensive I order food the price was 45$ I don’t even know for what please do your self a fav and don’t order from this place . It’s called fresh nothing is fresh u get cold food out of the fridge !!! Wish I could give them 0
Going here for years, only place better for Tex Mex is in Texas or Mexico.😊
I dont know where these people got the idea to start a restaurant making mexican food. It has absolutely none of the flavor of mexican food. If you want a big pile of flavorless food this is your spot. They dont even have a quality mexican style hotsauce to hide the fact that your literally eating a pile of edible matter. Please dont eat here...only if you are starving and they are giving the food away for free. DONT EAT HERE
I ordered hard shell and soft shell chicken tacos. The chicken was salty and chewy, the shells were stale. I asked for more sauce because i was given just one, she looked at me like i asked for her first born
Surprisingly dissatisfied after ordering from here for years. Hard, uncooked tortillas; hard, overcooked chicken and steak. Called in a complaint and the girl didnt know how to help. Will not be ordering from here anymore.
Great food. Horrible customer service. Its kind of funny how they treat their customers though. I actually enjoy it. I find it entertaining. Even when they treat me bad. I recommend this place. The food is worth it.
I love this place ! Loca89 yes don’t know why my name is wrong tho! Best taco ever
I always love the food here! Everything is seasoned well and its always fresh! This definitely hits the spot when hankering for some Tex Mex!
Good food, but they only accept cash, they dont take credit cards.
Food subpar even for a dive joint. Freshly made to order yet veges, meat etc. not fresh, too greasy & salty, but just thought it was par for the course till I tried their competition across the street. They look just as crummy from the outside, right? Huge difference. Please... Just cross the Street.
Excellent service and very quick. I felt sorry for them there was no heat and they looked like they were freezing. Overall, Ive gone there for years and nobody does it better then them.
Ive loved this place for years. Very affordable, theyre quick, and the food is great.
Love this taco spot ❤️ the steak burrito and shrimp 🍤 salad 🥗 are my best choice.
I ordered a fish taco with no tomatoes on a soft shell, when I got home they had given me a hard shell. When I called to ask for it to be swapped they put me on hold for about 6 minutes, I hung up and called back and the women rudely said they are busy and she doesnt have a delivery man who will deliver it for free! Even though it was a fault of the store!! Horrible customer service
Classic Chinese Tacos. I probably have lost a year of my life here but its good cheap and fast. Do not come expecting Mexican food unless you are thinking more Taco Bell.
Definitely not authenticate, but it hardly matters. If you want fresh tortillas and that flour tortilla/iceberg lettuce/tomato/cheese taco you ate as a child before you knew what Mexican food was, this is the place.
Food is great & prices are more then fair, however after ordering quite a bit from them, but 2/3 people taking the orders are hard to understand and cant understand me speaking clearly and as a result have gotten my order wrong more then a few times which is ridiculous.
Pretty good burrito; its not authentic Mexican food but the portions are large and very good prices. The tortilla was too thick and too much rice for my liking
I love the food but when you add to the dish they like to add up the price and you cant really see whats added to the dish
They make some good fajitas here I always order the steak and chicken. The fajitas have a good smokey char test and the flavor is the bomb
$.99 Chicken Burrito, $.99 can soda...with $5 you have a meal, very good tacos perfect seasoning. Another good kept secret in the Ridgewood/Bushwick area
Cheap, delicious, may lead to poor health... the tortillas are fresh, just like the attitude of the people behind the counter (dont call to complain, because you will get hung up on).
Burrito wasnt really a burrito? It was just meat rice etc on 2 soft unrolled tacos. Anyways, it was still incredibly delicious.
It was ok, I got the salad in the bowl that edible but it was soft instead of crunchy like I like it, the salad part was great and fresh .
XXX-CELLENT TACOs , QUESADiLLAs , CHiLLi , BEVERAGES n An Variety of MEX- TEX + OTHER Types of Foods For Preparation ..! GR8 PLACE TO GET TAKE OUT ORDERED !! ❤🙂🇵🇷🇳🇮🇺🇸👍
Wonderful food for the price. As for the interior of the restaurant, its small and less clean than your average fast food joint.
Cant ever go wrong with a grilled chicken caesar salad and 2 hard shell steak taco supremes.
HORRIBLE SERVICE- Less than OK FoodI advise people NOT TO EAT HEREMore than once food was either old or saw something unfamiliar in it!!!!They take back food from customers and resale it to other customersDISGUSTING!!! And they have an A???DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH- where are you?
Food is always great. They have problems with making it your way l mean changes to the menu
This place is a disgrace...they dont hold the food preparersor the delivery ppl accountable...i complained about the meat being under cooked and the lady just Ignored me the delivery guy sits in his car and calls u to tell u to come down wont even get out the car...then complained about the tip...i will never order from here again and neither should you
I ordered from them and they told me 40 min and i said ok. 1 hour and 30 min later they came. I called twice and didnt pick up and the driver got a attitude cause he walked 4 flights and u send him back. Never again!
Been ordering there for almost 20 years. The food wont win any awards, but it is solid quality, delicious and affordable.
Worst fry fish I ever ate , 2x2 pieces and stink like 2 months old. Chicken overcooked to the impossible to eat stage .never again .
They have good food there but I love their shrimp fajitas with guacamole.
This place right here... this is the place. Been ordering from them for a decade. It isnt authentic Mexican cuisine, but that doesnt matter because its so darn good.
Fresh, Made to order. The prices are even better.... we love fresh taco
Very delicious tacos for a great price. Love that Taco bowls and theyre open late and deliver🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
Bruh, adobo and sazon are your friends. This food had NO seasoning whatsoever. This is another example of cultural appropriation gone wrong. The guac was disgusting. I repeat NO SEASONING.
This is the second time Ive ordered from there and am still waiting 2 hours later for delivery.
Best taco place in BKLYN. its not a restaruant just a small shop and always in and out.. hot sauce is amazning also...
Love this place I have been eating it for over 10 years. I recommend the specialty taco...and taco bowl salad
The first time I went there I was amazed how delicious are the steak tacos the best
Excellent portions at decent prize. Every time Im in the neighborhood I order take out. Wish they accepted visa/MasterCard.
I always order from here and the food is Great. But the customer service is 😱😱😱
Very Good food. Cheap prices. So Fresh. My favorite tostada salad & Burritos.
Not a taco person but this place makes me want to eat them and I love their quesadillas
Friendly service experience and such tasty food for a great price!! Definitely recommended place to grab a bite.
IYKYK. S3 is the best meal here!! Love their food.
That 99 cent burrito is clutch.
Taco Bell prices and menu, better ingredients and flavor. A go to quick fix.
Best chicken, steak & shrimp quesadillas ever! 🌯🌮
Foods good but they can work on there burrito dough.
$30 worth of food and upset because they were asked for sour cream! SMH.
Very good food! favorite taco place, but their customer service sucks!
Ground beef super greasy, burritos open face like giant tacos? Chicken cilantro soup good, cheap
I had a chicken quesadilla with cheese and there was no cheese I drop and then they gave me more cheese to cheese was old and they were laughing was terrible I never go there again
GOATed, get 3 of the $1 burritos and youre set. Staff is kind.

Must try, God tasting food great price.
Ive been visiting this palace for almost 20 years, anytime Im in Bklyn or Queens I stop by.
Tacos are good here plus not expensive
The tacos are amazing, fresh and tasty!
Dont order anything aside from the chicken taco. It has nothing to do with Mexican but its very cheap. Only the chicken taco.
Got the nachos... great for the money!
Fast!!
Depending whos back there cooking. When they tax you, watch out they try to keep your pennies
The only reason why I do not give this place 5 stars is because it is more expensive than I remember
Fast and good
Always delicious. 30-60 minute delivery time.
Love this place they cook fresh taco and delicious...

2022-02-23Place is a joke dont waste your Money here i got a jack and jalepeno quesadilla theres a picture or what i got for 5$ no cheese on it nasty
Review №2
2022-04-07Asked for a Chicken steak and shrimp burrito, price was 10 dollars. It is 430 on a Thursday and they microwaved everything. I heard the microwave turn on three different times and I had the only order. The steak and chicken was so dry and the shrimp was like rubber. This place went down the drain
Review №3
2022-05-18Ordered chicken burrito, chicken was very very dry like it old. Came in a plastic container and the burrito wasnt rolled. It was just layed in and covered with everything. Also price was higher then on their website. Definitely wont be going back
Review №4
2022-06-26One of the worst burritos I ever had.Pico de gallo was just diced tomato covered in sour cream (regular sour cream not the Mexican kind) and what was supposed to be guacamole was some sauce from a can with absolutely no spices served on shredded lettuce. Nasty!Chicken wasnt good either and the bean sauce sucked.On top of all that they gave us two large ones instead of small ones and played dumb.Never again.Funny thing is that their $1 tacos are actually good.
Review №5
2019-05-28If you are not planning to spend much but want medium to good food then you should definitely check this place out. Their service is quick. The chicken and steak was extra chewy, not what I like, but it wasnt bad. The spaghetti was surprisingly good. The nachos needed more cheese, but if you prefer little cheese then this is for you. Although, the food doesnt fill you up.

2021-03-03Try their Mix Seafood Tostada Salad after long time..their food quality and quantity is exceptional as always. Their prices are affordable will try again.

Review №8
2022-04-15I knew the prices were too good to be true. Pretty sure everything here is just microwaved and they had no food grading, a sign was on the window that said Food Grading Pending oofFood was edible though
Review №9
2020-01-09A great take on Tex Mex. Under the chicken is the beans and rice. I didnt get a photo, but they have house made hot sauce that is amazing+ This is S2, Cost 11$ with a Can of Coke
Review №10
2021-10-11Been coming here for years before I moved to Philadelphia and still they have the same great taste. They steak, chicken and bean tacos are amazing. They opened in 1993 and since 1996 Everytime I was craving a taco I would come here and now even while living in Philly my go to taco place is Fresh Taco 🌮. Always fresh and very delicious.
