East Coast Taco

I discovered this place when looking for a restaurant with some vegetarian options for a family member after visiting the Book Barn... and now every time I'm in the area, I make a point to stop here to grab food. I live a fair distance away and it's always worth a trip. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and decently priced, and the restaurant itself has a cool vibe. The pulled pork gordita and burrito are favorites of mine and my partner. I'd definitely recommend coming on a warm spring day and eating outside (maybe with a book from the Book Barn!).

Great fresh “tex-mex” food in a casual setting. The place is a little quirky but comfortable. Lots of options on the menu to the point where I was a little confused at first glance of the menu. The food was really good and the portions were perfect. I got a chicken burrito and was completely satisfied without chips when finished. My friend got the chicken jerk quesadilla and took a quarter of the portion home for later. I would definitely recommend getting an order of the chips. They are incredibly delicious and not overly salty. If you’re in the East Lyme/Niantic area, East Coast Tacos is a must to visit.

I liked this place. It’s solidly good. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients. Their salsas could use some refining - not a lot of flavor & depth to them. but I liked everything else. The chips are just standard thick corn fried tortillas chips so nothing great about them. I ordered the fried avocado soft taco which was fine except that the avocado was underripe so not ideal. The creamy chipotle sauce was very good but I think the avocado taco needs a savory salsa to offset the creamy avocado. I also had a pulled pork taco which was good - the salsa verse was good but not great. I will stop in again & try some other items.

Loved East Coast Taco 🌮 I had their carnitas taco and their fish taco...both fantastic! My friend had two shrimp tacos and loved them as well. The rice and beans were okay, but the tacos were perfect. Cute spot to grab a delicious meal.

Was excited to try this place, I heard many good things about it. We started with chips and queso, the queso was rock hard after 3 minutes and tasted like it was just melted shredded cheese. The remaining food like the tacos and quesadillas were so bland it felt like a chore to finish them. Great staff, service and atmosphere but the menu needs a little more effort, need to season the food.
