“Ordered delivery for our first time because our son said that they were great. Young woman on phone was very nice and verified all items in order. Delivery was quite fast for it being dinner time and the young man was very nice.. The chimichangas are outrageous! The green sauce is great but the mole' is really great. The empandas come smothered and can be an entire meal on their own. Really good stuff. They even add seperate containers of rice and beans. This is a superior restaurant.“

“The only thing about this tacobell is that the food doesn't ALWAYS COME OUT HOT like the other day I ordered a quesadilla and the cheese was barley melted and the meat was cold witch makes me believe it was a left over that I happen to order so instead of making a fresh one they this started, it would be a great idea to give me someone's old cold quesadilla. I've worked at taco bell before and to me is constantly sitting on hey boil, so I don't want to hear that shit lol but other than that place is great

Parking: I don't ever see this place busy best time to go is 11am 3pm 8pm on tue Wed Thursday“

“It’s honestly so hard to get things made right nowadays especially at Chipotle- it can be hit or miss. Christian always makes my order perfect though and he knows I’m a little high maintenance and remembers how I like it every time I come through. Gracie is also the best and the guy with dark curly hair! They deserve a raise or something (no pizza party, just more money).“

“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!“

Tacos

“Along the stalls of the seaside boardwalk taco-tastic caught my eye because of its loud fun music and limited menu (so of course it must be delicious). I am so glad I forewent a boardwalk slice or gyro and went here instead. The Birria tacos were delicious- braised breef and crispy shell, with the most perfect consume. The Mexican corn was absolutely insane - the combo of flavors delicious! And the best empanada I’ve ever had? It was mouth watering and melty. Please, go here on your next seaside NJ boardwalk prowl!“

“I called to find directions and place and order. The girl who picked up couldn’t understand what I was asking so she hung on me and tried calling back but no one answered. Then I drove to store and placed an order for 3 tacos. I only received one tiny container of salaa. I asked for additional Ndninstwad was given hot sauce. So had to drive back and it took a bout 5 mins for her to argue with me that the hot sauce she gave me was salsa. I asked if she wanted me to bring the other container of salsa in to show her and she keeps giving me something I’m not amusing for. I love these tacos but this experience shouldn’t have been that complicated or difficult but to lie to a customer and keep them hot sauce saying it’s salsa anyway and acting so confused was super disappointing.“

“I’ve ordered these fish tacos before and they were good. Saturday night 4/12/25 absolutely horrible. Dry over fried seemed left over. Seems like they were cooked for another order that wasn’t picked up. So they passed it on to me. I called and spoke to a lady named Pablino. She defended her position and said I would have to return them and they would do it again. Sorry no time for that. They basically said I was wrong they were right and she hung up after I said that a bad review was to follow. This is bad business. I’ve been there before and have recommended them. Now no way will I go there and all my recommendations will be negative and don’t ever try this place. It actually seems like it’s another failing business in town. Definitely seems like so many of these businesses nowadays just don’t care about the customer.
Anyway don’t waste your time or money. They just don’t care !!!!“
