New Happy Taco

Ummm no. Just no. Vomit is more appealing than the things this place offers. Stay the hell away.

This is the absolute worst excuse for Mexican food – or food in general – that I’ve ever had the displeasure of suffering through. The tortillas were soggy, the rice was cold and in fact somehow ice cold in spots. The chicken was tasteless and overcooked, and the included lettuce seemed to be whatever they had left sitting out on the counter overnight. I understand that it’s cheap and stellar quality isn’t to be expected, but this atrocity takes it to an entirely new level of failure and ineptitude, I would be hesitant to even qualify it as edible.
I urge you, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. There has to be other cheap Tex-​Mex places near you, choose those if you care about your stomach and taste buds, they’ll be sure to thank you.

Awful. Taco Bell is better. I thought I would never say that.

No complaints on this place! The prices are great and the fish … MMMM GOOD. The other proteins, steak and chicken, are hit or miss but anything with the fish in it is wonderful! Will definitely continue to get our weekend dinners here… :-)

Sometimes you just want a quick, no frills, greasy meal that delivers and takes credit cards. Voila. Welcome to New Happy Taco. Super cheap Tex-​Mex-​Chinese? grub.

Did you say that you want a really inexpensive medley of Mexican, Chinese and whatever else food they serve here? And you don’t feel like leaving your house? Dial the number, you’ve made the right choice. This is not fine dining kids. This is hanging out with friends, watching movies, take-​out kinda food.

Welcome to the worst Mexican joint in Brooklyn, if not the five boroughs.
– Nasty, flavorless food that doesn’t contain the ingredients that are listed on the menu.
– Dirty trays CAKED with black dirt. (How did this place only get a B food rating by the Health Dept.?)
– Prices that are too high for what they offer.
Here’s what you get in a typical burrito: a ton of old lettuce that probably comes from a bag. Want a lettuce burrito? Keep munching, rabbit. Beans that they probably scooped out of a can and have next to no flavor. A minuscule amount of cheddar cheese. And although the menu says it’s supposed to have guacamole in it, it won’t… because they couldn’t be bothered, or they were out.
And that will be $ 6.30, please.
May a wave of Health Inspectors descend on this lousy place and shut it down… or may customers all over Prospect Heights avoid it and cause it to go bankrupt.

this place delivers to me even though i am pretty far, no one else up there will deliver to me.
the food is alright, nothing special but not bad if you want some basic chexican fare.
the portions are insane! i got a veg burrito, it was almost as big as my head. i couldnt believe it.
all in all if youre broke and want delivery id say this place is not a bad option.

Chexican food is f*cking cheap, filling, and perfect for a recession conscious budget. This is America, and I want some yellow rice with spare ribs. And I want both on the same plate, DAMMIT.
New Happy Taco fills me up and costs me two dollars.
Plus I support any business with a juvenile reference to the female anatomy.

Okay people this isn’t the best Mexican place in Brooklyn, but it’s decent and they bring it to your house too! Sure they have mixed up the order a couple times… its a high volume delivery joint so **it happens. Last night they called me to ask where I was… as they had send my meal to someone else. As I type this I am munching on leftovers from last night. Although I must say veg-​heads beware no matter what the menu says this is meat-​eaters turf.

This place is clean, efficient, and satisfactory. The only difference I can detect between it and Yummy Taco is that the latter makes its tortillas on the premises; otherwise, it’s the same brown, spoiled guacamole, same chips that taste more like Chinese noodles; same dark meat only chicken, same low quality beef, which is why I only ever get the cheddar cheese soft tacos or other vegertarian options. I believe a name change is in order: Same Old So-​So «Taco.»

Food here is wutevers. Pretty good portions and decent prices… I dunno. Being from cali, i had wayyy better for way cheaper so i left a bit disappointed… someone pls show me a good mexican place in parkslope!

I have to agree with Haley on this one. This food is awful. And yet I’ve ordered from here several times, because it’s close and cheap and I have one of their menus.
The food is drenched in grease; the tortillas are always soggy, and when I slightly tilted my last order of veggie quesadillas, gooey fatty liquid spilled out all over me. I don’t know what they do to the tofu — they have tofu tacos/​burritos/​etc., probably another explanation for why I’ve tried this place more than once — but it has a pretty uniquely disgusting flavor. Their guacamole is a travesty of guacamole.
I’ve recently learned that it doesn’t have to be this way. Cheap, Chinese-​made Mexican food can actually be pretty delicious. (See: Fresco Tortillas on Canal Street). So New Happy Taco & I are done.

It’s not the best Mexican food I’ve ever had, but, then again, it’s made by Chinese people and is super-​cheap. (I often have trouble coming up with the $ 15 minimum for credit card orders.) Haley mentioned the beans; I’ve never been a fan of re-​fried beans, so I can neither confirm or deny her claim. My only gripe is that the salsa and guacamole tend to be watered-​down. But, for the price, I don’t mind using the salsa and guacamole I usually have in my fridge (from Fresh Direct).

I don’t know about the beans, but the cheese and guacamole (yes, it’s pretty good) quesadillas are actually very tasty when I have them every week when visiting a friend in the neighborhood. These guys also have the best american-​style homemade iced-​tea I’ve ever had at any take-​out place or even super-​deluxe restaurant, so good that I’m hooked. Their hot-​sauce is the best tasting tex-​mex sauce I’ve tried so far, but be sure to ask for extra, otherwise they don’t give you enough. Contrary to what has been said, I personally prefer this to BurritoVille in the tex-​mex sense, however for the true authentic mexican fanatic, there is this tiny spot a few blocks away from the Jefferson Ave stop along the L line (whose name I need to write down when I go to next) that is to die for. Directions to that one from the train (if someone can slip me the name before I have a chance to go there again, I’d be eternally grateful): walk south along the park, hook a left on the park corner, look across the street on that block for the blue awning and you will see it.

I really adore Mexican food, but I couldn’t even bring myself to eat whatever it was they gave us at this place.
The guacamole was pale green and soupy. I’m not sure what it contained, but I would have to watch it’s preparation to be convinced that it involved avocados. I’m pretty sure it was made from some sort of packet mixture… maybe that obscure box you can sometimes find in the produce aisle of grocery stores (but never purchase, you know better than that!).
The beans were absolutely disgusting. They looked and tasted like something that possibly could have been predigested.
The only saving grace for this place is it’s on my street, but it’s not enough. I would rather walk to Burritoville in Manhattan than to ever even think about eating at this place again.
