“Let me tell you this food has FLAVOR! I’ve been to multiple Mexican restaurants within Manhattan but the food here blew me away! The portions also make it well worth your money! The service from the staff was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful!“

“Being a stone throw from my office is dangerous! Food is always delicious! My go to place for a quick lunch!“

“Great black bean & raspberry dip & fish Tacos!“

“Las tortas estaban deliciosas, el mesero era increíble definitivamente volvería a comer allí !“

“Eaten here, Great food, prompt service
Nice and clean and deceptive and festive
environment to relax and enjoy a good meal. They have alcohol there as well. I don’t drink alcohol so they have a nice unsweetened tea and several other non-alcohol choices. This is not a restaurant you pull up to and impress your friends by the looks of the building, but if you wanna please your friends, take them there to eat. Everything’s good.“

“Tasty with pleasant service!“

“It’s the small things that make even these darkest times bright and for me that is having my dose of Hillside. Everything was amazing! EVERYTHING.....The extra caution making sure everything was handled properly, the food was hot and wrapped well and best of all a big smile greeted me when I walked into pick up my order. Please support your small local businesses. They need you more than ever right now!“

“Everything here is fantastic! I especially love the quesabirria and all their tacos! Excellent service too!“

“Of course it's a parked food truck, nobody goes for the atmosphere, but the food was delicious! Staff was good at taking care of us, and we really enjoyed our meal. I haven't spent a ton of time in Manhattan, but I imagine this is the best Mexican food they have. And yes, order the quesabirria!“

“After Chipotle took a HUGE downturn, I decided it was time to try QDOBA and I've been kicking myself ever since. Qdoba is better in every single way. Better options, better staff and the freshness of the ingredients is a night and day difference. Not to mention that you aren't charged and arm and a leg to add queso/guac to your entree. You also get a small bag of chips for free, just have to ask for them. I just wish they would stock the mexican Sprite but that's not a deal breaker for me at all considering how great everything else is.“

“I ate 2 plates of their quesabirria at an all day event yesterday as well as 2 horchatas🤣😋🤤everyone who works is super sweet and food is fantastic!“

“Extremely delicious tacos and great staff! The food is so well seasoned. Check them out nest time you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!“

“Best and biggest burritos along with their tacos“

“Ordered a draft beer that took 15 minutes to receive from the time we were seated . No one working the barc. The food was cold ingredients on a super hot plate . The vegetables were cold and internal meat in the Sancho Especial was cold as well . Waitress was hard to hear and not very attentive“

“First time at this Taco John's for me, first Taco John's ever for my wife and it didn't disappoint. We did the $1.39 crunchy taco Tuesday that were well filled and very good. Bought some bean burritos that were good as well. We'll be back. Customer service here is awsome. Very clean restaurant very well maintained. Hope they keep that Taco Tuesday going a long time.“
