This place is right up my taco alley! James the owner is awesome, friendly, makes awesome margs, and great taco! The whole vibe is fun with lots of space indoor and out, with great music and good-natured staff. Immediately my favorite spot in Woodstock.

Early Terrible can charge $18 a cocktail. You, under no circumstances, should be allowed to—for a margarita no less. The taco making woman told the teenager taking orders to deliver food before taking our order after we had been waiting for super long. The man and woman bartender were having a passive aggressive argument, which whatever, a tad funny to watch. But contrasted with gut wrenching prices? Literally spent $70 on two cocktails and 3 tacos. That's like one Birkenstock. Let's pull it back a little mate, how about $50? All in all, not an approachable spot.
Responding to below: Honestly, if your margaritas were twice the size of a normal cocktail, I'd be fine with the price. IDK, maybe mine was an accident, but the two I had were served in 12 oz glasses w ice obviously. They were really good, but not twice the size of a normal one.

Stopped in for the first time, it’s a cozy small atmosphere. The margaritas are absolutely delicious. But don’t waste your money on the food. Tacos are bland and essentially flavorless. We tried a few, and were disappointed with them. And for the cost? A rip off.
Overall, I’d come back for drinks only- the margs were delicious and made with high quality tequila- but skip the food.

Went to Tinker Taco on a cold rainy day in January. It’s a unique and cool place. There are four separate areas including two buildings. The restaurant/bar, the takeout building where all the food is cooked, the covered deck with two large outdoor grills and an outdoor area with picnic tables. The restaurant portion has several tables and a bar. I’m looking forward to going on a warm day and sitting in the covered outdoor area to have tacos and margaritas.
My wife had a Sweet Potato White Bean Vegan Taco ($6.25). I had the two taco plate with one being Chorizo Y Papas (house made chorizo with golden, lettuce, queso fresco) Taco and the other being Barbacoa (Chili braised beef short rib and red cabbage slaw with avocado) Taco which comes with rice and beans ($19.50). It was all delicious.
You order at the bar and they take your name. They put a number on your table so they know who the order goes to. They bring the food to the table. It’s all casual as it should be since it’s Woodstock. I like the atmosphere and the inside decor.
You got to be a dog lover to eat here. There were a few dogs mostly laying around but also walking around a little, including under our table. Customers also had dogs. It’s good to have a dog friendly place you can go out to lunch at.
The hours are a bit strange; Friday and Saturday noon until 6PM, Sunday Noon until 5 PM. I’m more into going out to dinner than out to lunch. Maybe it’s different in the summer, which I understand.

We've had nothing but great experiences here - in terms of food and service. The tacos are fantastic, the margaritas are great, the staff is friendly and attentive and the environment is very cozy both inside and outside. We will be visiting every time we are in the area!

This place is so good it was part of why we moved here. Every ingredient, from the tortillas, pickled veggies and meats to the jams, marmalades and salt on the drinks is hand made in house. It gets busy and they have a small hustling staff but its on a beautiful plot of land along the stream so hang out, relax and enjoy the chill vibes of woodstock.

I hate leaving one star reviews, and actually, I wasn’t going to leave one. However, I got SUCH a weird vibe eating here that I had to google the other reviews to make sure I wasn’t going crazy and I’m so happy to see that I’m not. This restaurant/bar “the meaner we are the more you like us” thing / shtick belongs in Williamsburg, NY and not Woodstock, NY. I felt like us being there for 30 mins for lunch with our two kids was “omg so exhausting and inconvenient” meanwhile anyone who came in with dogs got a red carpet rollout. If you don’t want kids there, just skip the passive-aggressive route and put a “no kids” sign up in front and see how that goes for you ;)

Zero stars! Ordered 6 tacos filled with one tablespoon of tasteless chorizo each. We added the single egg to each taco and the single egg was larger then the taco itself. Absolutely atrocious! Never felt so ripped off and the bartender was a complete jerk when I expressed my concern. They also make you pay before you get your food so there is no recourse. Never returning.

We stopped in and did enjoy the tacos, however I mentioned right off that the owner and maybe his wife were a little rude. Their dogs were there and way friendlier than their owners. I had to laugh reading some of the reviews that the staff was short and rude, because now I know it wasn't just us who felt it. I even said as we left that it would have been a way better experience if the owners were friendly, because the place has a cool vibe. Maybe work on some personality. It's not that hard to be nice.
