Taco Trio was once a staple for us, but sadly no longer. While the food is tasty, I can no longer justify spending $17 on a burrito that’s the size of a can of soda and accompanied by a handful of stale chips.

Really great food and Margaritas (they do a spicy one which is fantastic). There is a great 'sauce station' where you can select different salsas, I love the pineapple one. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and I love the vibe in the restaurant.

An authentic slice of Mexico in Maine! I was thoroughly impressed by how great this taqueria is. Their tacos and enchiladas were a true highlight, as was the incredible salsa bar with a fresh variety of pineapple, mango, habanero, and fresca salsas. There were also a great variety of vegetarian options that offered squash, fried cojita, beans, avocado as filling alternatives. We also tried the strawberry tres leches which had a nice flavor, but was a little more dense than others I’ve tried. Would definitely recommend the haddock tacos!! I’d come back just for those. They also have a full bar and a beautiful indoor and outdoor seating space.
Vegetarian options: At least one vegetarian option in each category—vegetarian option is squash, cojita, avocado and beans with pickled onions

Food is excellent. Restaurant is confusing to navigate. Went inside to request a table outside. Got menus and went outside to decide what we wanted. Went inside to order. Got one of those buzzer/beeper things for when the food was ready, got some plastic cups for the salsa bar. Was told to go over to the bar to get drinks. Waited for bartender to finish talking with another customer, got drinks just as the buzzer for food went off. Left drinks at the bar, unattended, to pick up food and brought the food outside. Went back inside to get drinks and brought those outside. Went back inside to get salsas and brought those outside. Went back inside to get utensils and napkins and brought those outside. It's two sets of doors to get inside and outside. I tipped 20% when I placed my order before realizing I'd need to do 90% of the legwork to get my food... I hope all of the tip money goes to the kitchen staff because they fully deserve it. Tacos were excellent and the variety of options are great and I love that chips are included. There must be a more streamlined way to get food, drinks, salsa, utensils... Even a tray would make it easier and require less trips inside and out. If I come again, it'll be for takeout.

First time at Taco Trio. Nice ambiance. The music was awesomely authentic! Being from TX we of course know Mexican cuisine. Good spicy margaritas. We were surprised to find goat barbacoa tacos which my husband enjoyed.

Local takeout is excellent food for Renaissance neighborhood. Drinks and happy hour specials will make you delighted. Great village atmosphere. Had small problem with order to go but Jacob solved problem with excellent customer service and quick and quiet action. Give this local favorite a try.
