My favorite food truck some of the best Mexican I’ve had in a long time. The staff is friendly and you can tell they make their food with love and care. My husband’s recent favorite is the breakfast burrito. Definitely recommend you won’t be disappointed.

Walked up just as they closed and they were kind enough to whip up some guacamole, a quesadilla, a side of rice, and an Al Pastor Burrito. Whoever compared this to Taco Bell has never had authentic fresh Mexican and has no business writing a review. This not-so-hidden gem needs to be recognized also for its affordability! Such a deal! Not only is everything seasoned perfectly, but the flavors are bold enough for the more adventurous and gentle enough for those who like food that is flavorful but not overly spicy. 10/10 We will be back!

Taco the Town is undoubtedly the best Mexican food truck in Maine, perfectly situated in Brunswick. The food here is consistently excellent, offering a variety of dishes that are both flavorful and reasonably priced. Having tried all the dishes on the menu (though not every flavor), I can confidently say that this food truck delivers on taste and quality. The service is generally good, though there is a somewhat amusing quirk when it comes to taking orders. The person at the counter sometimes struggles to understand the names of the dishes as they appear on the menu. For instance, when ordering a "taco pollo asado," they may not initially grasp what you're asking for, responding with "a chicken taco?" instead. While this isn't a major issue, it does seem oddly inconsistent, given that the menu is written in the same terms customers are using. Despite this, the experience remains positive, with the horchata being a delicious and refreshing highlight. Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Value for Money: 5/5 Location: 5/5

We’ve been getting food from here the past couple years and I cannot say enough about the food and the crew! Always friendly and serving up some of the best food in Brunswick! The burritos are stuffed (enough to get two meals out of it) and delicious! From pork tacos(personal favorite) to breakfast torta’s and burritos.. there’s never been a bad meal. Our whole office ate lunch from there today and got a thumbs up all around. It’s a “not so hidden” gem in the midcoast!

The food is some of the best mexican we’ve had in the area. The tacos are delicious, particularly the carne con chipotle and the el camote. The staff was friendly as well. Plus, you can’t beat the prices.

Excellent authentic Mexican food, service, and hospitality!!! Did I mention excellent? We recently moved here from Atlanta (we had access to some excellent Mexican food), and we now live in Woolwich. My wife (lived in Mexico for a year) and I love good food; we often crave authentic Mexican food in the evenings or late at night, so my only gripe is that they are not open late. Taco the Town had been on our radar ever since we moved here in Fall 2022. We only finally made it here on Friday because they were rained out earlier in the day, thus forcing them to stay open late (7 PM LOL!!). I got an Al Pastor (pork) burrito, and my wife got the Pescado Ensenada (grilled haddock) burrito. My Pastor was good: served with sour cream on the side, Nana's rice was perfect, the pinto beans had a decent but not overpowering flavor, but it could have done with a little more pineapple and some more grilling for the charred pastor/gyro flavor (I used to make my own Pastor on a trompo so I know what I'm talking about). My wife's haddock burrito was the star of the show, though. One bite of that blew any other thoughts out of the water!! The fish was crispy, flaky (perfectly cooked), and seasoned just right. The salsa was well-balanced, the tortilla was warmed up just right, the black beans were delicious, and again, Nana's Mexican rice was the perfect foil for all these flavors and textures! Did I mention how good the grilled haddock burrito was? Because, immediately after eating my Al Pastor burrito, I was compelled by a divine force (not my wife, but she did facilitate the decision-making process) to go get a haddock burrito for myself. And I'm glad I capitulated to that inner hungry voice. This time round, my wife got a Pollo Asado (chicken breast marinated in cumin and lime and then char-grilled) burrito, also served with sour cream on the side. I've already mentioned how good the fish was. It SO hit the spot!! The chicken burrito is now ranked #2, with a perfectly balanced marinade and those lime/cumin flavors shining through the char-grilling, leading to crispy yet moist pieces of delicious meat. My wife was already full, so she could only manage a couple of bites. I had to take the bullet for the team and begrudgingly finish the rest of the burrito so we didn't have to transport it back home. I say "begrudgingly" because I had just finished the last perfect bite of my haddock burrito. And you know how you want to savor that last perfect bite of something you just ate and not ruin that moment with anything else after that, thus the begrudging sacrifice. Woe is me, I had to eat some more delicious food after already eating delicious food!!! Hahaha!!! Two last things: 1) I normally add some sort of hot sauce or heat to my burritos, but all the burritos were so perfectly flavored that I didn't want to add any extra flavor or heat (even though the chef packed me some delicious Valentina to go with the burritos). 2) We washed our entire meal down with delicious homemade (cinnamon-forward, not-too-sweet) horchata. We were being good, and I was trying to go easy on the sugar, so we decided to share a glass of horchata. I'm not taking any names, but the wife had more than her allocated half, and she is very particular about horchata (she says she's not persnickety but particular; I respectfully disagree.) I will leave you with this: the cinnamon-forward horchata was the cherry on top, the perfect not-too-sweet sip to compliment the perfect bite of my first grilled haddock burrito. We will be back, Chef Tai Choo, to try all your delicious food and work our way through your whole menu. And Rory, thank you for remembering my name and for that warm welcome when we came back within 15 minutes. LOL!! P.S. Current ranking #1 Haddock, #2 Chicken, #3 Pastor. P.P.S. multiple folks in line recommended their quesadillas; we're coming to try those next!
