Fat Taco - Hoboken

We went to cinco de mayo, so there was a special menu. (food was estimated at a few dollars, which was understandable; there was a 2 hour limit; and $6 drinks specialties! the best birra I've ever had, but the eating lacked flavor still amazing, although just add some hot sauce! the jack obst tacos were also portioned and full of taste. the salsa was medium, but delicious! they had cinco de mayo girls who were walking around to photo operas and chats. will definitely be back for their normal menu to try!

Went on a Saturday and everything I asked for was unavailable and there chairs are very uncomfortable to sit in

My boyfriend and I ordered here for a food pickup. He got the Birra quesadilla and I got the southwest veggie quesadilla. Disappointed in my quesadilla; it was supposed to have mushrooms and peppers.none were in the dish and lacked in amount of black beans too. It was a Friday night we ordered out for but still there is no excuse when the menu stated an item includes certain ingredients. Won't be back needless to say.

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.

This is a taco joint. So do yourself a favor and just order that. I will say that the brussels were banging but can't say the same for some dry a steak tacos. Their sauces are on point; especially the hot honey. As for service, be prepared for the check with food in your mouth. Ambiance was okay. Got the vibe but fell short. With all that said, I'd probably would come back if I was stumbling from the bar next door and get more shrimp tacos.
