Taco Trio

First time at Taco Trio. Nice ambiance. The music was awesomely authentic! Being from TX we of course know Mexican cuisine. Good spicy margaritas. We were surprised to find goat barbacoa tacos which my husband enjoyed.

An authentic slice of Mexico in Maine! I was thoroughly impressed by how great this taqueria is. Their tacos and enchiladas were a true highlight, as was the incredible salsa bar with a fresh variety of pineapple, mango, habanero, and fresca salsas. There were also a great variety of vegetarian options that offered squash, fried cojita, beans, avocado as filling alternatives. We also tried the strawberry tres leches which had a nice flavor, but was a little more dense than others I’ve tried. Would definitely recommend the haddock tacos!! I’d come back just for those. They also have a full bar and a beautiful indoor and outdoor seating space.

I got tacos back at their old stores years ago when it was a small restaurant. Now it looks like a true restaurant, looks good from outside and inside. I got the pastor burrito for $16 and the strawberry drink for $4.35. The burrito was pretty good at first. A decent amount of meat, rice and beans. The burrito was pretty standard with good ingredients but the flavor isn’t anything special. Towards the end it was just rice and beans and I didn’t finish the rest. The strawberry drink was okay, tasted very diluted, more like a strawberry flavor water. Chips were good and I like how you can choose from a number of sauce or salsa from their bar just like their old place. But for the price of $16, the burritos was very underwhelming compared to other places for $12. 7/10

The food is great and came out fast, Cheers to the team on the kitchen! The new place very big, welcoming. Walls and tables are well organized, the food is half self service, you have to go get your utensils, water and sauces, which is nice. There wasn’t much contact with customers from the servers, which I felt kind of cold but I guess is all about preferences, the bar area is big and overall is a great place if you try to get a taste of Mexican food.

Food is excellent. Restaurant is confusing to navigate. Went inside to request a table outside. Got menus and went outside to decide what we wanted. Went inside to order. Got one of those buzzer/beeper things for when the food was ready, got some plastic cups for the salsa bar. Was told to go over to the bar to get drinks. Waited for bartender to finish talking with another customer, got drinks just as the buzzer for food went off. Left drinks at the bar, unattended, to pick up food and brought the food outside. Went back inside to get drinks and brought those outside. Went back inside to get salsas and brought those outside. Went back inside to get utensils and napkins and brought those outside. It's two sets of doors to get inside and outside. I tipped 20% when I placed my order before realizing I'd need to do 90% of the legwork to get my food... I hope all of the tip money goes to the kitchen staff because they fully deserve it. Tacos were excellent and the variety of options are great and I love that chips are included. There must be a more streamlined way to get food, drinks, salsa, utensils... Even a tray would make it easier and require less trips inside and out. If I come again, it'll be for takeout.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time! We sat at the bar, and Aidan, our bartender, was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and so much fun. Fantastic cocktails and tequila.

Very tasty tacos! The Vegetarian ones are great. And the Mole taco was delicious. Our son loved the chicken quesadillas and our daughter her burrito. The guacamole was good. They offer a very nice salsa buffet Overall great flavors!

I was in South Portland for work and dropped in for a quick dinner. It was great to find delicious authentic Mexican food!! The service was fast and friendly. The place was very nice and comfortable. The salsa bar is amazing!! Highly recommend it!!
