Taco Suave

This is, without a doubt, the absolute worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life.

I am from Hamilton, NJ which is right next to Trenton so I have a bunch of amazing local Mexican spots near me like El Guajillo. I was in PA for an event that got out late and I thought Taco Sauve would be like all the local authentic Mexican spots near me.

I couldnt have been more wrong & would have been better off stopping at Burger King which was right near the go karting event I had just got out of.

The decor for Taco Suave is colorful & charming complete with flowers and lights strung around the restaurant, bright & vivid colors & painted portraits of Frido Kahalo. I also got a kick out of the restaurant name. So far, so good.

I ordered a chicken chimichanga, which is a go-to for me at many of the local Mexican spots I hit up on a regular basis. It had chicken, beans & bacon inside and was topped with cheese, lettuce & sour cream. Okay, so far so good.

When I excitedly picked up my fork & knife to dive into my chimichanga as I had not eaten all day, I was astonished at how literally rock hard the bottom of the chimichanga was. We all know chimichangas are fried but digging into it with my knife with all my strength, I was unable to cut the damn thing.

My husband, who is much bigger & stronger than I, was surprised and grabbed my utensils for me and literally started sawing at the damn thing and it was nearly intractable. The plate was moving back and forth with his efforts and the table was literally shaking and, at one point, the chimichanga nearly flew off the plate at me with how hard my husband was digging the knife into the chimichanga. Finally, he was able to saw his way through the bottom layer of the chimichanga which was an overcooked, overfried, literal brick.

Needless to say, all enthusiasm & excitement I had felt when I found Taco Suave on yelp had instantaneously evaporated.

I was starving, however, and we had a nearly hour long drive to get home and most all the other food places were closed. Taco Suave was closing in 5 minutes so I didnt exactly have time to order something else.

I dejectedly resolved to eat the chimichanga with my husband having to literally help me hack and saw pieces of it so I could eat the damn thing. It was literally a struggle to chew it.

I have never in my life eaten something that was so hard, overfried and overcooked. Even my Fruit Punch Jarritos, one of my favorite Mexican drinks, was barely aiding me in choking this travesty down.

I finally finished 3/4 of it and my husband finally asked to try a piece -- the look on his face said it all when he bit in. He told me it was the literal hardest chimichanga he had ever bit into in his life and told me, Thats it, you are done eating this crap.

This was Thursday night and it is now very early Saturday morning. I have had a horrific stomach ache since then and literally feel like I have a brick in the middle of my stomach. I am very thin & petite and you can literally see the chimichanga has not been digested at all. Needless to say, I have been unable to "eliminate" it so far.

Its one thing for food to be disappointing or not live up to Yelp reviews. I have been on Yelp searching for new spots to try and posting reviews and photos for over a decade.

However, feeling physically uncomfortable to the extent that it has been difficult for me to eat, unable to go to the bathroom, feeling overfull and the sensation of the chimichanga literally coagulating into a brick in the bottom of my stomach are restaurant experiences that noone should ever go through.

I wish I had recorded my husband literally having to saw through the chimichanga just for me to eat the damn thing. It was surreal, so just imagine what choking it down was like.

For the crime of wanting tasty, authentic, local Mexican cuisine after attending a go karting event in Horsham, PA, I have been physically uncomfortable with a solid mass of a complefely undigested chimichanga for the past day and a half. My husband put his hand on my stomach (I am 95 lbs) and could physically feel a mass in my stomach.

I have never eaten food this undigestable in my literal life and I have no idea how this restaurant has 4 stars on yelp. Stay very far away.

Y'all know how I feel about Little Miner Taco's birria and how it's literally unmatched? I finally, and I do mean FINALLY, found a spot that can compare in PA.

The beef, consome, and the spicy salsa that comes on the side-- literally everything was delicious and bursting with flavor! Cheese pull on a hunnid. I'm just so happy to be alive right now

Best chicken soup I EVER had in any restaurant in my life. So glad we stopped in here today, this place was amazing. Absolutely worth going to.

Went here for dinner for the first time tonight. Food was amazing and fresh. I recommend the jitomate enchiladas and chips and guacamole.

Fantastic tacos. Have been there many many times. I always get the Al Pastor (spelling?). Service is fast, portions are big. For 10 bucks you will have a tough time getting that third taco down your gullet. They serve it with fresh limes and radishes. Not much to talk about for the decor, but I don't go for the ambiance. Open until 10 pm, much later than the lazy ass slugs who own other restaurants. Highest recommendation. Agree with Sienna - the lady server is a sweetie.

Pay not attention to that idiot Patricia F who wrote a review and says it's the worst Mexican place. She clearly has a bone to pick. She should stay in Hamilton, we don't need her or her useless opinions.

Delicious authentic Mexican food with the ease of takeout, super nice people and great prices. It's a great place and we love to frequent our local restaurants!

Tacos were awesome! Good portion sizes too! I will definitely go back. Very friendly service

Run! Don't walk to this hidden gem. I ordered the Birria tacos and they were amazing!!! Crispy, cheesy, melty and very flavorful. Only waited about 10 minutes for my order to be ready and the lady in the kitchen was SO nice. Seating area is also very clean.

Inconsistent. At times in the past it's been good but we keep getting bad food lately. I expect quality to be the same every time.

I was tempted today for Mexican food. We had lunch yesterday at La Corita yesterday, and everything there was amazing.
Taco suave? I think it just does not meet the mark.
I am from Los Angeles. Eaten the best Mexican food in Los Angeles. And in several different cities and towns in Mexico. This is probably the worst I've ever had.
Ordered the fried whole fish. (Mojarra Frita). Also ordered guacamole and those horrible hard semi burned chips.
The fish was also very dry and very hard. How do you even do that to a fish!! Definitely not what I'd expected.
The guacamole was OK. So we ate that with some "homemade" tortillas. $4 for six tiny ones. Maybe 3 inches across.
Decision is made. We won't be back or recommend this place.
I'm sorry, I try to be gentle with small family restaurants. But this one I would be ashamed to recommend. Next time back to La Corita. What a difference!
One star because it's the minimum. 2nd one for the guacamole. That's it.
