With New Jersey being so diverse when it comes to food, there’s plenty of authentic cuisine to choose from. But sometimes you just want something quick, still fresh, and gives you that same authentic taste. That means skipping McDonald’s and Taco Bell.

Mexican food is a fan favorite here in the Garden State and to get the best of both worlds, many recommend heading to Tacoria.

Tacoria is a “Mexican Street Kitchen” started by friends that went to Rutgers together.

They have 8 locations throughout New Jersey and they are about to add #9 and South Jersey’s first Tacoria in Marlton.

The Facebook page “A View From Evesham” says that the Marlton Square Shopping Center website has Tacoria “coming soon” under their “New & Opening Soon” section and they are right!

Don’t think of this as a chain restaurant. These Rutgers friends were able to expand their business because of their success.

I can tell you firsthand that the food is amazing. I can confidently say it might be the best guacamole I have ever had.

Their menu consists of burritos,

Street tacos,

Street corn,

Nachos,

Quesadillas,

and so much more.

If you have a sweet tooth, you can kick that craving with their Nutella nachos.

The owners actually traveled to Mexico to learn about the culture and “culinary secrets” so they learned from the source.

Unfortunately, there is no actual opening date for this particular location so if you’re in the Marlton area and want a taste of Tacoria, you’ll have to travel up north a bit to experience it for now.

The other 8 locations in the state are:
