“Authentic Mexican food. I had the chili Relleno which was delicious. The chilequiles verde con carne were a very light green that I have never seen before but they were not lacking in flavor....they were pretty good. The tamales were a bit dry however. Last time we had tacos al pastor which were delicious. The owners are very nice and friendly. A nice find. They only have 4 tables inside. They do mostly takeout...but both times we ate in and noticed alot of repeat customers and the owners greeting them. Nice customer interaction. I will go back and continue to try new things!”

“Amazing food, friendly service…portioned enough for lunch tomorrow and a complimentary ice cream cone offered at the end of your meal. We aren’t from the area so I’m not sure if it’s a hidden-gem or well-known but it’s a must-try!”

“My wife and I hired them to do a food truck for after our wedding reception. 15/10 decision. The tacos were incredible esp the General Tso chicken and the bang shrimp tacos. Plus the leftovers that weren't served at the reception hall made great afterparty food. If you like tacos and want to give your late night party crowd a treat after a fun night, highly recommend Tacoholics!”

“Updating my review - first off the bagels are amazing, huge and soft inside. i usually buy a couple and refrigerate them and they STILL taste fresh when toasted. But just had their tostadas, nachos & tacos for lunch - WOW, amazing! the best authentic mexican food i’ve had in Brick.”

“First time trying this place. Wife was in the mood for burritos but ended up getting the shrimp bowl which she loved with sweet chili sauce. I got the Silly Philly burrito with jalapeño and mango habanero sauce. Taste was excellent and plenty of beef. My only gripe is how it was rolled. Not your typical tuck in the sides and roll but completely different to make a shorter fatter burrito. The sad part with this technique is that it makes for an inconsistent mashing of ingredients. When you bite into it, it’s not uniform and I got a whole bunch of rice first and in the end, all beef. I don’t know who came up with that style obviously never tried eating it or doesn’t care about consistency of a bite My advice is ask for the traditional roll and you will have a much better tasting uniform burrito.”

“Went here a couple weeks ago. My lady and I were looking for a taco Tuesday joint. Food was amazing and very fair priced. I order a lot of food everywhere I go, so I had beef tacos, fajitas and another dish I forgot what it was called. Regardless, the food was out of this world. You wont be disappointed. Only negatives, and I'm nitpicking here, the atmosphere could use a remodel and the AC could be a little cooler.”

“Recognition for Jake & Samantha I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Jake and Samantha for the incredible job they did today. They were dealing with an overwhelming volume of orders along with nonstop DoorDash and Uber drivers, many of whom were frustrated, impatient, and unfortunately taking that frustration out on the staff. Despite all of that pressure, both Jake and Samantha remained calm, professional, and respectful throughout the entire situation. They handled the business on their own to the absolute best of their ability, kept things moving, and represented the team extremely well under difficult circumstances. Employees who can maintain composure, professionalism, and strong customer service in high-stress environments like that are extremely valuable. I genuinely believe their hard work and dedication deserve recognition and honestly, a raise. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge the effort they put in today.”
