Taco Labs - Kitchen & Bar (East Boca)

If you are into trying new and flavorful foods then this is the place for you! We tried the guacamole, birria pizza, birria ramen, and the margaritas. This place was easily the highlight of our vacation. The vibes in the restaurant are relaxed and family style. The portions were more than plenty so sharing multiple things is the way to go!! Services was fast and welcoming! 100% recommend.

First time here. All I can say is this is the BEST TACOS and Burrito we have had. Absolutely outstanding!!! Joshua was absolutely Fantastic!! Joshua Made us feel like we have been here before. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

They have amazing taste and food. The reason that I’m getting them is anytime I order I never get the right food. Their chips, however, nasty. I’ve ordered from there a few times I’m no longer giving them my service. I never get the right food whether I go in there but I order from DoorDash. I never get the right food and I’m always having something missing. They’re expensive to have to pay for something that I don’t get. Yeah, I’m not going back.

Ordered 3x from here so far and NOT disappointed! My boyfriend loved the brisket burrito! I've been enjoying the mango habanero chicken! Also $3.00 tacos on Tuesday and sooo many to try! As a foodie Im telling you skip the wait in Mizner and try this place out. also $5 margs on Tuesday. (I haven't tried yet but a great deal!)

These are the best tacos in town some of the nicest people. I wish i had found this place sooner. My favorite tacos. Everything is fresh made to order quick and clean. Birria tacos. Classics. And new twists. Too good. Winnie, maniesh ( i know i didn’t spell that right ) & entire team are world class.

Great food and music. Taco lab was playing all the bangers. The mix of toppings in the blackened mahi taco come together so good specially with the fresh mango on top. The chicken-fil-a was amazing. The birria taco was cheesy, meaty and came with a side of the birria broth. Their mock piña colada was refreshing and sweet. Will definitely come back. Staff was friendly and attentive. Ample parking.

Very good food very good experience thoroughly enjoyed everything was brought out in 10 minutes or less piña colada was amazing highly recommend! Winnie was amazing!

We were just driving around Boca Raton and stumbled upon Taco Labs near the Fifth Avenue Shops, definitely not our usual taco stop, but curiosity paid off! The variety of tacos was impressive, and each one had a unique twist. From the birria with consommé to the tropical shrimp tacos, everything was flavorful and well prepared. The chips and salsa were fresh, and the house made drink hit the spot. It’s not your everyday taco joint, but it’s worth a visit when you’re in the mood for something different. A fun, casual spot with creative flavor combos!

Absolutely love this place!!! I have dietary restrictions and they accommodate me every single time WITH A SMILE!! The food is always fresh and delicious!! I try to get something different every time and I am never disappointed!!! The staff is just as good as the food!!! Friendly and kind!!! This place deserves 10 Gold Stars!!!

Tried this place for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were amazing, and the portions were generous. The chicken wings had the perfect balance of heat and sweetness--absolutely delicious. I also ordered the New Delhi bowl, and it was huge! Easily enough for two people to share. It had a bit of spice, which was a little intense for me, but that's just my personal heat tolerance. My husband got the Korean BBQ burrito, and it was enormous! He really enjoyed it, though he mentioned there was a bit too much sauce. Other than that, he loved it. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be ordering again to try something new next time!

I was in the area and looking for something unique, and light. This place caught my attention. It's cute inside and the staff was friendly. The only downsides were was that the music was a little loud (so I took it to go) and that it took a bit to make the tacos. They have a three taco special, but that was a little more than I was looking for so I got two. At $5 each they are a little pricey, but they are a good size. I had the tropical shrimp, which was tasty but the shrimp themselves weren't fantastic. And I had the Koran BBQ with jackfruit which was a really good taco. I think it's great that they can make any of them with jackfruit or tofu and most can be made vegan. All in all, it's a nice concept and pretty good.

I had the Ttopical shrimp taco and steak Asada taco . Both well stuffed with tasty ingredients! I would recommend this place . Very casual.

Taco Lab in Boca Raton offers a solid taco experience. The three-taco special for $15, which includes chips and salsa, is a fair deal. While the interior is pretty low-key and not much to write home about, the food more than makes up for it. Service is quick, and the tacos themselves shine. The Steak Birria taco is a standout, packed with flavor and tender meat. The Bang Bang Shrimp taco is also tasty, with a nice balance of crispy shrimp and zesty sauce. Overall, it's not about the ambiance here--just great tacos and good value.

I got take out tonight and tried two vegan tacos the Al pastor and the Tinga. Both were delicious and flavorful. I also tried the vegan birria quesadilla and can say it was absolutely one of the best things I have ever had. Definitely will be back. Portions were generous and I am looking forward to trying more tacos.

The ladies at the front were super kind! Chips and salsa- we both liked the salsa! The bf got: Birria tacos: really good Asado tacos: good I got the chicken bowl and I enjoyed the flavor! We will definitely be going back!

I was really looking forward to this spot, due to all the great reviews, but I was so disappointed with the food here. We ordered multiple tacos since it was taco Tuesday and we wanted to taste different ones since there are many options. We pretty much ordered one of every taco, and the only one that had a little flavor was the one with the creamy cilantro sauce. The fish in the fish taco was also pretty tasty, but other than that everything lacked flavor and the tortillas were stale. The beef in Birria tacos was burnt, you couldn't taste anything but really burnt beef. Even the side sauce with the birria taco tasted like burned food. And the guac had way too many onions. The service was a 8/10 as they were nice but got our order wrong and couldn't tell the vegan taco from the meat taco. The drink was ok (we ordered a margarita), a little too sweet for my taste. The ambiance was ok, maybe because it was during the last 2 hours before closing but it was a bit dirty, with stuff spilled on the floor by the garbage.

After finding this place on Yelp and seeing that they had a Taco Tuesday special, I knew where I'd be taking my daughter for lunch. Upon pulling into the 5 Points Shopping Center I realized I had been to this location before, but it had been a different Mexican restaurant. When I visit this shopping center, I usually eat at Arun's. For a split second I thought about encouraging my daughter to go there instead because I absolutely adore that restaurant. But she reminded me that we wanted tacos and to try a new place. I say this because there's a connection... The decor inside is pretty simple, but there are several tables inside and a few outside as well. The lady who took our order was very nice and patient as we looked over the extensive menu. There was a variety of tacos to choose from, all $3 due to the Taco Tuesday special. There are some traditional tacos but also some fusion style tacos with Indian and Korean influences. The tacos and queso came out pretty quickly. The queso was delicious and probably too much for just two people. The tacos were quite sizable and were generously filled. The mahi-mahi was fresh and seasoned well. The blackened mahi definitely had a kick. But the star out of my three tacos was the tropical shrimp. It was one of the best tacos I've ever had! And this girl has had a lifetime of tacos. Whatever they seasoned it with was beyond delicious. The diced mangoes in the salsa added a lovely sweet touch. It was then I started to put two and two together that the people behind Arun's might have opened this place. My hunch was confirmed upon asking a staff member. I always order traditional Indian dishes at Arun's even though they have tacos on their menu. So it appears they expanded on their Mexican influenced cuisine with this location that is just a few doors down. We will definitely be back as this spot IS our new taco place!

Taco Labs is a new fast casual Taqueria brought to you by the popular Arun's which is a few doors down in the Fifth Avenue Shops in Boca. I saw a post on Instagram about this restaurant and it looked so good that I literally hit the breaks and did a U turn to head over. The inside of the restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with painted murals on the walls and an LED screen that was showing scenes from the ocean during my visit. There are a number of tables and chairs for anyone who wants to dine in. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. Taco Labs menu includes appetizers, quesadillas, chicken wings, fajitas, burritos, bowls, and taco platters. A nod to the Indian cuisine at Arun's includes a New Delhi Tandoori Taco. On Taco Tuesday, tacos are $3 and they offer $5 margaritas. I ordered off the Lab Signature Tacos section of the menu. Any three tacos are $12 and include chips and salsa. For my tacos I chose the Steak Birria Taco with oaxacan cheese and side of consome, the Steak Korean BBQ Taco in a sweet and savory sauce on a bed of cabbage slaw, and the Tropical Shrimp Taco made with flame grilled marinated shrimp in a sweet and savory sauce with a hint of coconut cream. The tacos were a generous size and packed with delicious, high quality ingredients. All of the tacos were great but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be the birria. That shrimp was amazing though and that salsa served with chips was delicious. If you have room for dessert they offer tres leches cake and churros with vanilla ice cream, yum! The service here was friendly and I loved the food and vibe. I was already an Arun's fan and it is nice to see him branching out and trying new things. What a great addition to the plaza and I look forward to sampling more of the menu.

Good addition to the area. It's located in a Publix center in East Boca. There's plenty of parking. They offer a wide variety of taco options including vegan. You order at the counter & they bring the food out to your table when it's ready. We enjoyed the Birria tacos (chicken). On Tuesday they offer $3 tacos. Give them a shot.

Taco Labs is one of my favorite causal options in boca. Everything I've eaten from here has been great! I've ordered the chips & salsa, korean bbq quesadillas, and tacos. The staff has always been very friendly and the place is very clean. Definitely recommend!

Taco Labs is a fast casual style restaurant with the addition of a full bar and a large screen made up of four smaller screens. We tried the Birria Quesadilla with steak - we were surprised we had to specify steak, but it turns out Taco Labs also offers chicken and jackfruit Birria. I would not describe what we ate as a real Birria quesadilla, the consume was not traditional style, the tortilla was not dipped or cooked in consume, and although they use Oaxaca cheese it was not as much as you'd expect on a QUESAdilla. The service was excellent. The restaurant was clean, as soon as we were finished with our entrees an employee brought over our dessert which was tres leche with a caramel drizzle. The cake its self was cold and tasted like it maybe was a few days old. Regardless of everything we finished both our quesadilla and tres leche. Taco Labs isn't a bad spot I think that there may be other items on their menu I'd prefer than what I had today. Overall based on the food I tried today it has to be 3 stars but I'll give it 4 stars because the staff was so friendly and our food came extremely quick.

Excellent. By no means a fancy place, but I plan to come here whenever I'm in Boca from now on. Taco Labs is hidden in a strip mall right down the way from a Publix (very Florida), but don't let this deter you. Very nice staff. Try the three taco combo...get the five taco combo if you're really hungry. Lots of great flavor options and all very high quality. Not expensive, either. 5/5. Don't miss it.

Taco Labs Boca is a culinary revelation! The birria tacos are unparalleled, evoking a "wow" from the first bite. I opted for the three taco platter, two steak and one chicken taco. The steak variety stood out, bursting with succulent flavors. The homemade chips, paired with flavorful salsa, were a delightful accompaniment. The beans and rice were equally impressive. The restaurant's clean, inviting ambiance exuded a down to earth charm. The friendly staff ensured prompt service, delivering hot tacos swiftly. My dining experience left me eager to return for more of their exquisite fare. Taco Labs Boca is a must-visit for any food enthusiast looking for a memorable culinary adventure!

Part 2 Fast service like Spedry Gonzales But no orchata in the building If you know you got it No place to change diaper Ac was lacking, But i comeback There are nice people Just buy it and carry Music. Better get the air phones on Vegan option bro that is a plus My burrito tofu tell me You have to eating if all

Very welcoming staff, and a comfortable clean atmosphere. Tacos were pretty good for a fast casual taqueria, but only a hint of heat although a good bit of flavor. We tried the: Birria w/steak; Tinga w/chicken; Al Pastor w/steak; New Delhi tandoori w/steak; Chick Fil A. Nice people are always worth a returning visit, especially if the tacos were pretty good.

We got take out food from Taco Labs. I tried birria tacos (3) and bang bang shrimp and the corn in the cup. Birria tacos came with chips and salsa. I eat birria tacos whenever I go to mexican restaurants, so I am a big fan and I personally didn't really like their birria tacos. Maybe I was looking for very authentic tacos and these were not as good. The consume was not flavorful and it seemed like they thickened it with starch, it felt jelly like with not much flavor( I also tasted bouillon cubes type of flavor). They put plenty of meat in the tacos however I personally didn't like the taste as much (6/10) Salsa was great, I liked it a lot. The elote in the cup was not my favorite either. I did love the bang bang shrimp taco a lot. Overall this is a great place if you want to get different tacos and try new flavors. Next time I will give try to new delhi taco.

Delicious tacos...every single one of them, but my favorite is Birria . Good and fast service.

Wow, great tacos!!!! So many unique variations. This is near Aruns kitchen and owned by same owner- which you will see in quality of their food! Both places are great. They also have liquor/drinks which is a nice bonus. The food is priced great and so is the drinks! Small eat in place with a nice ambiance. Music and big huge TV and brightly decorated. Korean taco was fantastic! Street corn was really yummy!!! Bang bang shrimp taco was a great twist on this typical appetizer. We had several others that were tasty. Definitely will be back. Stop in and check it out. They will NOT disappoint !

THE BEST TACOS AROUND! Plenty of variety of tacos to mix and match. Very fun place to grab a bite and some drinks.

Service was great but taco were blend we ate taco at many places and all the combinations had no flavor . Have not tried their other food .

I'm an all around foodie taco lover and it's always been hard to find good tacos here in Boca. This place just opened up, so we decided to try it randomly and we were pleasantly surprised! Service was amazing even with it being the end of a busy rush hour. We tried a few tacos: Asada Style, Korean BBQ, Blackened Mahi Mahi, Tropical Shrimp, and Bang Bang Shrimp. We loved them all! Very flavorful. We also got the Guac and Chips, and the Street corn in a cup. Again, really good food. The drinks were good too. We tried the classic, the mango, and the passion fruit mojitos. They were strong but we agreed the classic was the best one! The presentation was great and the service was so friendly. Good music and the vibe was nice. Yash is now our best friend and we will definitely be returning lol. We actually went back the next afternoon for a quick lunch!

Another chart topper by Arun! Opened in the last few months next to their Arun's Indian Kitchen location in Boca, Taco Labs is one for the books. A great ambiance inside and friendly staff. The menu offers a large selection of Mexican/Indian flavors offered in tacos, burritos. The best part is you can get a 3 or 5 set of any of the tacos for a great price. This also comes with chips and their sweet salsa. We also got a side of guacamole which was extremely fresh and I got a mocktail too. Each taco has its own unique flavor and they're all fantastic. The shrimp is fresh and cooked to perfection, and even the chicken options are elevated. Recommend this place to anyone in the area, you can't ever go wrong with an Arun's spot- this one continues the trend.

Great tacos and excellent choices. Birria tacos were very good. Korean bbq had very nice taste to them Highly recommend Taco labs

Great food. Pleasantly surprised at the the spice and freshness of a food court eatery

Hands down the best tacos in the area! Tried 6 different tacos and one was better than the next. The staff was amazing....friendly and very helpful. Can't wait to go back

Great vegan non soy options. Fresh ingredients. Fast service on a lunch break. Spring water available. Nice huge tv and art work creates a cozy atmosphere.

I had the pleasure to attend the Grand Opening. Let me tell you, the Al pastor tacos were amazing! I had nicely portioned tacos on soft corn tortillas. They also have hard tortillas made of both corn and flour. The tacos themselves were flavorful with lots of spices and plentiful sauce. I only tried a little guacamole but next time I will order the full appetizer portion because it was delicious! I can't wait to see if this location will offer salsa dancing at some point. There's a great dance floor in the middle of the res

This place is completely overhyped, in my opinion. It's a walk up and order place, there isn't a bar area to sit, but they do indeed have alcohol. Weird atmosphere and seating situation though. Now to the important part, the Mexican food was not at all Mexican, most everything had an Indian flavor to it, even the rice wasn't right. Also, not sure if this has been resolved, but there were a few copies of a menu at the counter and the menus mentioned happy hour (which we were there during) and when we ordered a "happy hour margarita" they rang it up. I noticed the price was higher and they stated it wasn't happy hour and the info is outdated. The margaritas weren't the best and were also very small due to the amount of ice used. We will not be back. It was just off and is over hyped.

The food was really good. The birria dip was good as well. Very flavorful. Everything was well done. The guacamole was not mashed all the way, it was like a block of avocado in the container, but other than that, 10/10.

Saturday is date night. Picked up a new motorcycle and my girl and we headed out for a ride, wind and the hope and anticipation of TACO NIGHT. My girl researched taco stand in the area and she found a 4.7 star Taco Labs in Boca. The service is great. All the wait staff were friendly and kind and quick. It is Counter order. Pick your beverage. We chose beers. Find your own table and order up. We chose a center area 4 top. The following order was an 8 taco sampler. (3 on one tray and 5 on the other) Beef Birria was great. Tons of flavor. El Pastor was beef and was okay. The fried shrimp was so so. Lacked acid even though we added lime. Just lacked Lacked flavor. Tinga beef was okay. Again, lacked flavor. The Tandori chicken was a highlight. Good texture and flavor a touch of India in every bite. Chicken fil-A was a true bust, if you are 11 years old and like chicken fil a then you will most likely enjoy this lackluster item. It's not on my order again list. Beef Asada was good. Good flavor. Good texture. Just good. The saving grace, my last taco on date night, the Korean beef taco. A standout. Made me think that there was hope for this cute little commercially viable taco seller. I will go back but I will be armed with experience this time. 3 tacos. Tandori, Korean, and Birria. This is a super clean, cute, fast and friendly joint. Is it a must go, no. But, it is a go and you should go and try it. PS the salsa is more like a Mexican ketchup. A true salsa from onion, tomato and cilantro and lime juice would be a happy surprise instead of the El Heinz Mexicano ketchup as we joked about the flavor.

Taco Tuesday? Yes please. $5 margaritas, I prefer Strawberry. $3 tacos - chicken fila is one of my faves. Place is small, but the staff is friendly. Order at the counter, delivered to your table. I would not call this traditional or authentic Mexican but it's creative and delicious. Can't beat the prices. Less than $50 for 2 with drinks.

This place sucks. Ordered and they cancelled, no notice, no call. Just cancelled after an hour waiting. Don't order from them.

Wow. Worst tacos I've ever had. Crazy flavors and tortillas were literally flour from a bag at grocery store and not heated.

Had to get back to Taco Labs! Went for a late lunch and it was outstanding. Tacos, service and ambiance did not disappoint. Thank you and see you again soon.

Got the birria bowl, chips, salsa, queso and carne asada taco. Burria bowl was pretty good but I just can't get past the salsa being SWEET?? Who puts sugar or sweetener in salsa? I just don't get it. I think if they took out the sugar the salsa would be great - but as of right now it's just yuck!! Makes me mad thinking about it. Won't be back until they get the salsa right. Go to Cavaleras cantina in Mizner Park- it's a little pricy but the salsa is epic.

Went for Taco Tuesday. A perfect time to try the many varieties of tacos that are offered. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Everything was delicious and we will return. They offer many vegan options including tofu and jackfruit.

By no means it's authentic, pretty Americanized/indianized food, it was good nonetheless. Their tacos are 1.5-2 times the size of other Mexican places and they have $3 any taco (regularly $5-$5.5) on Tuesday so it was worth it. The only thing I didn't like was their rice which is long grain Indian rice and not Mexican rice.

Great food just needs to pick up times when they get busy otherwise pretty timely. The burritos are gigantic

They have the absolute best tacos and best margaritas! The beef birria tacos are amazing but every single taco on the menu is delicious.

Cool idea but it's doing too much. I think it's important to establish that isn't really authentic Mexican. An extremely friendly Indian man owns this restaurant and it definitely has a lot of Indian inspired items on the menu. I welcome that from your traditional boring American style taco joints. But back to the doing too much. Less is more when it comes to tacos and Mexican food in general. There is a makeshift bar that serves liquor and shots. It's just kinda behind the cash counter, so it's not all that appealing to the customer. If you have liquor, you need an actual bar with a counter and stools, otherwise it feels janky and looks like a lemonade stand in a restaurant. Also, they're pushing milkshakes since Boba probably doesn't jive with tacos. Not that I think a thick milkshake is ideal with some carna asada tacos, but this goes back to the owner trying to make this something it's not. This has nothing to do with the food, but I can't stand when you go into a restaurant and they place AI versions of music or just really cheap covers. This is done to avoid playing real music, which provides an authentic feelings vs. bringing attention to whatever this Kid's Bop is, simply because restaurants have to pay a fee to use license music. You'll find a lot of Asian restaurants do this, especially those dumpling places or Brendy's shops, again, it has to do with a culture thing but it ain't a good look. Now on to the food- I ate about 7 different tacos including the birria, tandoori, mahi, steak, chick-fil-a and the orange chicken and two different shrimp tacos. The best was the birria style, which is a bit greasy but seemed to pack the most flavor. The prices can add up and it's not really a traditional sit-down restaurant, so it seems like they do more business with take-out. It's something you would see in Miami but it lacks the feel, the flavor and the authenticity. It has potential, but it needs to eliminate doing too much. The menu is chicken wings, tacos, Indian infusion and milkshakes. My stomach gets weak just thinking about it.

Stopped for lunch and tried a variety of different tacos. Lots of options! Pleasant ambiance inside. More upscale than expected from the location. the best I tried was the tandoori Taco. All four were dressed beautifully and solid size. Tasty chips and salsa. alcoholic options. We sat outside and 3 passersby asked us how the food was. What was missing was the staff engaging with customers. The main guy at the counter was reserved, capable, but wasn't reaching out to engage, check in. Someone nicely brought out the four tacos to us on one tray. But didn't ask if we needed anything else. So we needed to ask him for another plate. Little stuff would make a big difference in the experience and hopefully bring them Loyal customers to enjoy the good food

So here I drove all the way from West Boca to East Boca based on their reviews and what a waste of time and gas I'm not sure what I'm missing but you could compare my pictures to the pictures that are on the menu and certainly not the size that they picture I also showed a picture of some dried out piece of fish stick I got not sure what I'm missing but for four and a half Stars I'd expect a large portion and not dried out anything Okay they 2 get stars for the nice young lady taking orders and the guacamole

Great food and drinks at a good price. Located in the Publix plaza in the northern corner plaza.

Would not recommend this place. I went in with my boyfriend and we order a burrito and chips and salsa. It took 25 minutes to come out. There were one other table in there that was waiting on food. The cashier was not pleasant and seemed begrudged to be there. My boyfriend was the only one actually get food and she knew this as I said I'm not getting anything. My boyfriend asked for chips and salsa and guac. Come to find out his meal came with all three. You would think that the cashier would let him know that before giving enough chips to feed a family of five. Tried all of the food and nothing was extraordinary.

We were there for their grand opening. Pretty good tacos. New and unique flavors. We tried some of the original recipes and some of the more modern ones. Overall a yummy taco!

Service was great! The mango and watermelon margarita tasted absolutely amazing! They are made with real fruit and agave! Food was also very good, and I love the presentation.

DELICIOUS! seriously so good. Best tacos I've ever had hands down and I've been all over Miami searching. They have a big menu with something for everyone. The place has great ambiance along with awesome service.
