| - Despite the poor reviews this place has received, some friends and I stopped by for dinner one night last week. I am glad we ignored the low ratings; I thought this place was great!
The vibe is casual; kind of teetering on the edge of hokey with its decor, but no big deal. The service was great; our waitress was super friendly and diligent about checking in on us, and our food arrived quickly.
Now, about the food: it was REALLY good. I'm not sure if previous reviewers have extremely high standards, or if I have extremely low standards. In any case, I have no complaints about anything I ordered (#11 and taquitos appetizer, for the record). My dining companions were very happy with their meal as well (although I can't recall what they ordered).
I live a few miles away in Wesley Heights. To this point, if I wanted tasty Mexican food, I'd drive to 1900 in Elizabeth. I actually think 1900 is an eensy bit better but the convenient location of Hot Taco, combined with my positive experience, has it currently ranked as my new go-to Mexican joint.
I hope future meals here are just as good as this one, for myself, as well as other diners.
