    Taco-Mata is my go-to comfort food now! My favorite is the Harlem Taco (chicken). It’s honestly the best taco that I’ve ever tasted. I love how it’s deconstructed when you get it for delivery, so nothing is soggy and everything stays fresh. Been able to try it reverse take out (dine in) for the first time recently and loved the vibes of the place! Service was great! They even have an function room-ish area in the restaurant that you can reserve! Has a sofa and a bar too! Wasn’t able to take pictures of it, but it’s perfect for group hangouts! :)

    Some of the best tacos you'll find in Manila. Every single one was amazing and we tried almost all of them... Awesome value for money! Make sure you try the LES and the Fulton... You won't be disappointed. Special shout out to Arthur and the boys for their awesome service.

    So so so good! Definitely one of the top tacos I've ever eaten my whole life 😍 So much more value for money than the ones in The Grid or Legaspi, it has the perfect balance of flavors with a whole lot of protein/meat in it!

    “Lasang-hindi-tinipid” I don’t know what’s in this taco, but it makes me so happy whenever I eat this. Every ingredient goes well with each other that when you bite it, flavors will explode in your mouth. Love their tacos so much, most especially the Harlem ❤️❤️❤️ PLUS the owners are sooooo nice and friendly ❤️

    Absolutely delicious! Definitely not your traditional Mexican tacos but a creative twist that’s so unique and full of flavor. The best part of this whole experience was the exceptional customer service! Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

    Great Tacos! So innovative and prepared with care & attention with quality ingredients. We tried The Soho with sous vide beef tenderloin The Madison with smoked BBQ chicken.& The Harlem with buttermilk fried chicken. Each taco is on a 5" flour tortilla with greens, some crunch (potato strings, onion rings, crushed peanuts) & lively sauces. Also tried their excellent sweet potato fries

    My boyfriend oftentimes dates me in Mexican resto & so far this is my top 1. Absolutely delicious! They say this is not your ordinary Mexican tacos but with a twist. My favorite is their Soho and Harlem Tacos for my bf that you must try! The Owner is really on hand and accommodating & they have exceptional customer service. Will definitely recommend to my colleagues, family and friends.

    Best gourmet fusion tacos in the Metro IMHO! Our favorites are the SoHo and the Harlem. Taco-Mata's tacos are delicious. It's definitely a welcome riff to the usual formula. Can't wait to go back again. Great food and value for money. :)

    On a constant quest to find Manila’s best tacos and Taco-Mata definitely ranks high up there! We got to try all their awesome tacos and none of them disappoint — seriously, each one was absolutely delicious! The best sellers are best sellers for a reason: The Harlem Taco was my favourite because it not only offered a huge and juicy bite but had the best balance of flavor and medley of various textures to enjoy. The Soho Taco was my 2nd pick because of the way this played around with different layers: from the crunchy piknik-like potato strings to the perfectly tender steak — just wow. The L.E.S. was another fave because of that distinctly sweet and smoky flavor you get from the charsiu pork combined with crunchy peanuts. The Fulton had fish battered and cooked to perfection. Complemented very well with that tangy sauce and a squeeze of lime. Finally, The Village, though vegan, still gave a wonderful kick of flavor and gusto. A mix of sweet, salty, tangy, and savory — this is something I don’t mind having again. Only thing I would’ve wanted would be the option to dine indoors especially with how hot and humid it is outside, plus the mosquitos that are out to feast on you too (haha). Can’t wait to see what else Taco-Mata has in store for the all the takaw matas out there like me!

    Everything we ate was SUPERB!!! Had my very first try of their best seller, The Harlem taco, then we ordered the Chelsea, next was the Fulton and the Soho! Hands down to this taco place ❤️ Will definitely come back soon. 😋

    Great tacos, flavors are certainly different from what you’d expect from a taco but in a good way. However, its not something you’d want to eat every meal as the tacos are very rich and can get overwhelming after enough bites. Overall, still definitely something worth trying.

  • 5/5 A A. 1 year ago on Google
    Not the usual tacos you would expect but they definitely taste good! We were able to try 3 kinds (Harlem, Soho, Chelsea) and they were all good (especially the Harlem)! Will definitely go back!

    Hands down, the best modern tacos in town!! Everything on the plate made sense despite being non-traditional. It's in the tiny details like the crushed peanuts on the buttermilk chicken giving you those flavor pops of surprise. They also have different spicy condiments on the table (hot sauce, chili oil). Will definitely come back again and again. Note: there's no signage because the restaurant is set in a shared space with a bar accdg to the owner so I recommend asking random security guards since that's how we found our way.

    Not a taco fan but after trying Taco-Mata’s Harlem, Fulton and Soho tacos, I immediately changed my mind. ❤️ Their products are ABSOLUTELY TASTY! 🥰 A must-go-to Taco place when you’re craving for rich and unique flavors. We also loved their Turon & Ice cream dessert and Sweet Potato Fries! 👍🏼 Sir Arthur is very accommodating and such a great host. We’ll be back again for sure! 🤟🏼

    Very nice concept. Arthur is super passionate and loves his food creations which are beautiful! It's great to see fusion courage like this here! The Soho was my favorite of the tacos we tried. I felt like some of the flavors were just shy of explosive though and I'd love to see them asking their customers more directly for feedback real-time so they can go from very good to great.

    Possibly the most delicious and out of the ordinary Tacos I've tried in the Philippines! My favorite is their Harlem Tacos with juicy deep fried chicken. It's a must try! The lovely couple working behind this brand is a plus <3

    Delicious and unique tacos to satisfy any craving. I don't think i'll ever get tired of em, and I've had a LOT

    Great tacos for late night munchies after a night of drinking at Poblacion. The owners Arra and Arthur are the sweetest and nicest people ever. Highly recommend the taco L.E.S!!

  • 5/5 Ronald K. 3 years ago on Google
    First had them in their Poblacion stall, now with curb-side pick-up in the cloud kitchen. The favorite is still the LES for me and the Fulton for the wife but you have to try the newest addition which is the Madison for some legit NYC style chicken BBQ! Love places which offer a smaller menu but each one of them being really REALLY good! You build it yourself at home since it's curb-side pick-up, but having tasted it on-site also, I can confirm that it's the same.
