wait. was that guy posting about hipster things (death cab)? It seemed like a mish-mash of not just so-called "hipster" stuff
i suggested quiet riot because it seems the taco place likes 80s rock. And culture. And so-cal. And hair bands

Wow this place certainly has sparked some passion! The food was good, but I have to side with the people who dislike the service in the establishment. My wife was slow to order and I thought Moby was going to have a meltdown. I just cant bring myself to spend money again at a place that treated its customers with such disdain.

We have to say, such passion is truly flattering. We appreciate the critics and even the bloggers. They could be blogging about a million other things and yet they choose us. Thank you and Go Dodgers.

I think if we all just ate some tacos and drank some tacates, things would seem a lot better.

Does everyone's disdain center around Moby? That seems to be the common bond here. Maybe everyone's simply projecting this hate onto Taqueria Moby because the real Moby's music is so shitty. Except that "Don't nobody know my troubles but God" song. That was a cool sample. Everything else about Moby sucks. Moby looks like Uncle Fester with an eating disorder or a case of full blown AIDS. Maybe Taqueria Moby IS Moby. When was the last time he did anything worthwhile? Maybe he got a new job. I've yet to see Taqueria Moby. Is the resemblance that striking?
Seriously though, I still think you're all blowing this out of proportion or just enjoy shitty Mexican food covered in taco cheese. Like the obscene amount of people that cram into it each weekend, I effing love Taqueria.

on the plus side, Moby has "Funky Lil' Song" which always makes me feel happy in my taco.

CommanderKeen, your avatar is giving me a headache... (on the plus side, "Commander Keen" was a sweet video game back in the day).

again, joeauxillary:
i don't mind hipsters, like them actually. my point is owners at tacqeria are not at all the laidback, cool hipsters they seem to claim they are-- they are far from cool. rather, obsessive, hyper-controlling. and no, most of us aren't projecting any moby hate onto taqueria-- seems like taqueria's rude service and overblown reactions to jc list postings is enough inspiration for the backlash. ( I don't buy the turnaround in their tone, like, now they're suddenly cool with negative posts about their establishment? in fact, taco truck's last post sounds like a pr attempt to stop the backlash.) plus, how would you know what went down with publius-- even if he were a regular, why shouldn't he post about an experience with the bathroom and with what, he, as a paying customer, felt about the rude surly behavior at the establishment? given all the numerous postings of rude and bizarre behavior on the owners' part, both on jc list and several other sites. . .there's a lot of smoke there. hey, for all we know, you're posting for them-- actually would be in line with their webnerdiness/obsessiveness to have friends monitor and post on their behalf.

I'd really like this thread to end. In sum:
Some people like Taqueria. Some people find their service to be abrupt. Some people don't care, or notice, because they like the food. Some people do care, and notice, because they didn't like the food enough to not notice or not care.

Don't think "abrupt" quite sums up the sentiment of the "con" side, but otherwise, a fairly decent summary.

in other words: no matter what your opinion on anything,somebody on this forum is going to disagree with you and make a big deal out of it and demand a boycott/apology/hipster party

Watch out Mr. Froman. With all of our references to 80's pop culture, people are going to think that Abe Froman works for us. here's my question: is the 80's pop culture and hard rock from that era really "hipster"? If you were pumping Of Montreal and Arcade Fire all day I could live with the label, but I honestly never saw you all as "hipster" in any way (especialy when compared to the brroklyn ilk). Quote: Spending time on an "internerd" message board, calling people who post on it "internerds", makes you the biggest "internerd" out there. Am aware of the contradiction, just a term of endearment/joke term. sick burn though, you really got me. Quote: i don't mind hipsters, like them actually. my point is owners at tacqeria are not at all the laidback, cool hipsters they seem to claim they are-- they are far from cool. rather, obsessive, hyper-controlling. another question: when/where did they ever claim anything? who in the world would "claim" they were a hipster anyway? this hipster talk is way off the mark...

It really is quite tasty. And I have been there a bunch, NEVER had a problem with customer service. Perhaps the people who did are the kind that walk up to the counter with no idea what they want to order.

Had takeout from them last week. When I got home I realized that they forgot one of my carnitas (the best.)
I called them and they took down my name and offered me 2 carnitas next time I came in. It totaly made up for the mess and I will continue to get my Carnitas from Tacqueria.

The first time I went to Taqueria I was annoyed by the comments on their menu about how they don't serve chips and salsa in "cute clay pots". Fine, I happen to like Chips and Salsa but whatever. It then became obvious that, in their opinion, each customer had to be trained as to which counter to order from and to know what they want or lose their turn.
Well the food is okay but I certainly don't stand for such pretensions. I don't expect a waiter/waitress to fawn all over me but I don't need attitude either. There are some things we all learned a long time ago about how to treat "guests". If you like the food and are suitably trained then please Enjoy. I say No Thanks.

I gotta say that when I got take out and they forgot 4 tacos, I called came back and they gave me the tacos plus a gift certificate for $15.
It's just like going to the SoupNazi. It's the quirkiness that gives its authenticity. And since the food is good, they are doing something right. I do vote for another highchair. I will even offer to spraypaint it. PS. Please post my posting on the wall.

+1 to whoever recommended aguila dorada. i happened to be in bayonne today and i remembered the place, so i stopped by with my gf. great food and huge portions, and decent pricing (the enchiladas we got could be considered pricey at $8 and $9 respectively). plus free chips and homemade salsa. def the kind of place i was looking for when i originally went to try taqueria the first time

Wow, that's random. I too finally got around to visiting that place yesterday (got off work early and went in the early afternoon) and it was fantastic. Had the Steak Gorditas, Chorizo Sopes, Chips & Salsa, and washed it all down with some Mandarin Jarritos! Everything was great, spent less than $20,and me and the wife left very happy. +1 - great recommendation - I wasn't going to post a review for fear of bumping this thread back up, but since regulator already did....
