Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“This is, hands-down, the best taco you will not only get off a truck but I defy you to find a better taco in all Brunswick! The effort and love put into the food is evident the second you’re handed your order. I cannot express enough about how delicious this food is.” – Alexander C.

Not Your Average Food Truck

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Tai Choo, the owner of Taco the Town.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Taco the Town a one-of-a-kind food truck in Maine. Here’s what Tai had to say:

“We are really the only ones doing what we’re doing in this area. Being from California, I brought the authentic-style Mexican food truck food to Brunswick, Maine, so you’re really not going to get anything else like it around here. I would say that our flavors and prices are excellent, too.”

Tai added:

“Everything is pretty much gluten-free, so we get a lot of gluten-free people come and eat at our place.”

We also asked Tai what their mission is at Taco the Town and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s his response:

“[Our mission is] to provide food that’s healthy and fun and different than what everyone else is serving around here.”

Building Success Through Good Food and Customer Service

Tai attributes Taco the Town’s strong online reputation to their commitment to cooking good food and giving their customers good customer service.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Taco the Town has gotten their name out there through word of mouth:

“A lot of our advertising is word of mouth. We’ve found that people are just talking and talking and talking about us and it’s growing our business really fast. We don’t do ads in newspapers and stuff like that. We don’t need to. Today, it was 90 degrees outside, it’s a Wednesday, and we served about 200 people for lunch.”

Tai went on to tell us that community involvement has also played a role in growing the business:

“We’ve done quite a few benefit deals for the community. We’ve done quite a few for hurricane and flooding relief. We did one for the campfire victims in California, because that’s where I’m from, and that seems to grab a lot of attention.”

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Taco the Town has. When we asked Tai what advice he has for those business owners, he said:

“What comes to mind is just serve fresh, flavorful food at a reasonable price and give them good customer service, and they’re going to come.”


Congratulations to the team at Taco the Town for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Tai, for taking the time to speak with us!
