So first of all the frozen margaritas are my main reason for coming here. They are strong and it’s hard finding a good margarita place around here. The food was good, just wasn’t given napkins or anything so they could improve on the service, but with shortages I also understand. Definitely come here if you want a good margarita! And the taquitos are good too but the kitchen closes early even on a Saturday.
Went here with a group of people for dinner and had a pretty negative experience. When booking the reservation, we weren’t informed large parties are required to order off a 3 course fixed menu that has a fixed price. Ultimately we were told this after we sat down and the fixed menu ended up having an extremely limited number of options (less than 4 appetizer and entree selections), each of which had super small portion sizes. When we went to order, the one appetizer that most of us ordered ended up not even being available either so we had to reorder and pick another option off the small menu. Most people just wanted a taco bowl or other meals on the normal menu we looked up prior to going and couldn’t order any of it for whatever reason.One of the main reasons we chose to go here was because their promotion on Instagram saying “book your dinner reservations now & stay for $1 beers starting at 9”. They (also) failed to mention when booking the reservation you cannot order the beers while sitting at a table and only can order at the bar after finishing your meal. I guess this makes sense so the server gets more tips since you’re forced to order the more expensive drinks at the table but was disappointed this also wasn’t mentioned up front.Worst part about the experience is that after getting the check, we (like a bunch of dummies) incorrectly tipped an excess 20% after not realizing a 20% gratuity was already included. Totally our mistake but the person that booked the reservation reached out to the restaurant and explained we tipped twice accidentally and basically got told their sh** out of luck. Maybe this is a nice place to go for late night drinks (we got comped 1 or 2 margaritas for all the miscommunications that ended up being pretty good for what it’s worth), but I definitely wouldn’t recommend Fat Taco if you’re just wanting to go somewhere and sit, get dinner, and talk with some friends at night on the weekend. Live DJ played club music that was just so loud the whole entire meal we couldn’t hear ourselves think.
Two friends and I stopped by Fat Taco last night to catch up over a drink. My mango margarita tasted great. We were wrapping up and I went to use the bathroom - as I was using the single stall bathroom the door was KICKED down by the bus boy who was working. I'm not sure if the lock just didn't work but I was sure I locked it. Needless to say I have no idea why he kicked rather than knock?There are plenty of Mexican/Latino spots in Hoboken. This was enough for me to avoid this place going forward.
Good food but drink glasses were a bit dirty. Fairly loud music making it difficult to converse during brunch.
Good food and good drinks- birria quesadilla is my favorite but the service is the slowest and worst I have ever had. Brunch lasted 4 hours with food taking 2 hours they said they would comp it but they didn’t. We were told the manager would come over never did almost left because it was that ridiculous. The food isn’t worth the time it takes to get in and out of the restaurant service is the worst I ever had.
Fabulous service, food and atmosphere
This is one of my go to spots. The prices are more than reasonable, the food is great, all the staff are friendly and always go out of their way to help you as much as they can. Even brought my girlfriend for her birthday and it worked out perfectly. Whenever I want to go out to eat, I usually try to come here first.
Cool new spot in hoboken! Can’t believe I stumbled onto this place today with my boyfriend and his friends and the staff was great. The bartender made the best skinny Margarita I’ve ever had! The manager was so friendly and sweet, we told her this is our new regular spot! We will be back next weekend
Friendly staff, awesome food and solid tequila choices. Just wish the kitchen closed later than 9pm
The only positive part about this experience was Chris the bartender. Paid for a bar crawl bracelet to skip the cover fee and get drink specials. They did not honor this even though they were listed as one of the places and said we were scammed. We went ahead to pay the cover. After all of that they closed the location at 9!!!! After making us pay a cover and not honoring our bracelets. Icing on the cake when they closed unexpectedly early and MAKING IS PAY. They would not let me use the bathroom before I left. Hands down the worst customer service I have ever had. EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION. If I was given the option to give zero stars I would.
