Mojo TaGo

Get the carnitas tacos, the pineapple makes it. I had them from the food truck. They are kind of small though, so I would recommend getting at least three of them.

Mojo TaGo has the best tacos and quesadillas. The «mojodillas» are fantastic and well worth the price! Interior is a cool design and very clean! Staff is friendly and knowledgable about the food. Stop in here for some good food!

I’ve had this place bookmarked for ages and finally stopped by for lunch today. The location is very strange. Tucked back away from Downtown Powell, I had to MapQuest it to actually find the restaurant. And they’re only open three days a week. Plus, their food truck was in the parking lot. I don’t really get it. The interior is very nice, though. Clean lines, colorful, and a big bar. This seems like it would be a great location to rent out for a group.
When I walked in on a Friday afternoon, I was the only customer in the joint. I surveyed the menu and decided on 3 tacos: chicken, traditional beef, and the beef short rib (aka korean beef). Mojo TaGo gets points for speady service. My «TaGo» tacos were ready in under five minutes. But, as the only customer, should I have expected any less? The tacos are quite small. While the ingredients were very fresh, I was not impressed by the flavor. The chicken and traditional beef had hardly any seasoning on the meat. The korean beef was the most flavorful, but it would still rank low on a normal «tasteless to tastiest» scale. For $ 10.50 and three tacos, I’m just not super impressed. Save yourself some time and go for a bite at Taco Loco on Sawmill instead.

Taste = good but not impressive
Price = scary: yes they use 4″ tacos, so that’s a rip off and you’ll leave hungry
Food cost obviously too high. Sorry, but this is a path to restaurant impossible. PM me if you need help with books or strategy. Until then yabos is my American/​Mexican baby.
Best «real» Mexican tacos is Los gachos on godown. And by the way, whomever disagrees with this you can immediately disregard. I know real tacos being in Mexico for many years.
Dueces!!!

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve been here, but I just remembered that I wanted to give this place a shout. I’d like to see this place succeed. The atmosphere is solid and great for a little night out in Powell. Hunkered down maybe a ¼ mile from Downtown Powell. There’s even a cool little brewery just a couple doors down and what looks like a little t-​shirt shop opening up.
Here’s the bottom line, the only reason I have to give this place a 3 out of 5 is because of the portion size vs price ratio, which has been mentioned before. Don’t want to be too harsh, but It seems out of whack (I have a taco problem and I’ve probably been to every place in the Columbus area). At the size of these taco’s albeit very delicious, I’d sacrifice a little bit of the deliciousness for a 3 taco standard combo as I highly doubt you’ll be satisfied with 1 or even 2 tacos. This is how it’s looks with 3 Flour Taco’s price wise (the soft corn tortillas offer maybe more authenticity but they’re just ok). $ 12.75 and that’s just for the Taco’s. That might be ok for 3 decently sized taco’s, but these are pretty small. If this place can take a little bit of a lesson from places like Condado’s as far as pricing and options I think they’ll see a boost in business.
Chips are good and similar if not exactly the same chips as el vaquero and the like. I think I had their regular salsa, it was good but not spicy enough for me, maybe that’s just my style. Also, I didn’t see any there so I may be wrong but, WILL SOMEONE PLEASE OFFER TAPATIO AT THEIR MEXICAN RESTAURANT?!
I really hate to give them 3 stars, but I think with just a few minor tweaks I could become a regular.

Mojo TaGo stopped by my office a couple weeks ago. It was fantastic! I had the carnitas quesadilla (they call it a mojodilla). The carnitas was probably the best I’ve ever had. I had the chips and queso as side. The queso was tasty; although it could have been spicier for my tastes. It ended up being pretty affordable too. We don’t get food trucks nearby my office too often, I hope Mojo keeps comes back more.

The tacos were okay. A bit small for the price, but they did stuff a good amount of meat in the small shells. Definitely on the American-​ized side. Probably would’ve tasted much better at a festival or wherever the truck goes, but a bit disappointing in the restaurant. Definitely want to shout out the very nice owner, Brian, and the overall great service!

Had a great lunch from their food truck yesterday. I ordered the chicken burrito, and I was surprised by the size and quality. A previous reviewer had said that the burritos are the size of Chipotle’s, but I was skeptical of this claim; Turns out I shouldn’t have been. Well worth the $ 8 asking price. The chicken was very tender, and was seasoned with just enough cayenne to give it a perfect spice level for my palate, but some may find it a little hot for their liking. All the ingredients were fresh and the avocado spread was absolutely delicious.
When I ordered they told me they were offering a free drink (normally $ 1 extra) if you ordered a side of chips with your entrée. They had several dipping sauces for their chips, and based on a recommendation from the guy taking my order, I ordered chips with queso on the side. The chips were a far too oversalted, and the queso tasted like simple store-​bought white queso out of a jar. Next time I get their food I’ll skip the chips.
Overall a great food truck. Glad they were out close to where I work in Dublin so I could try their food. Looking forward to trying other menu options in the future.

I love this place. The ambience in the sitdown restaurant is nice and unique. Has an industrial feel without being cold. The staff is good enough. The food is amazing. It’s what makes this place. The unique taco flavors, authentic and fresh ingredients make this a must visit. I just wish it was Open on Sundays. Kind of expensive for the food plus you have to buy the chips and salsa but the flavors and deliciousness makes it worth it

Had the steak burrito while the truck was parked downtown. It was as big as a Chipotle burrito, and just as tasty too. For $ 8 I consider the burrito a bargain. I can eat. A lot. Trust me. I will be the first to say the burrito filled me up even without the side of chips and choice of salsa which can be added for $ 2.
Only reason why I docked a star is because I would have liked to have a tad more steak in the burrito. All in all, I will purchase again!

Had the carnitas, carne asada, korean style one and the carnitas quesadilla.
All the tacos had a generous portion of filling, the carnitas and carne asada were both good but the korean one was too watery.
The yummiest one was definitely the carnitas quesadilla! Melted cheese with the tangy meat… YUM!

Mojo Tago came out to our property for an All Associates Luncheon and they were great. Food was coming out very smoothly and it was incredible! @Positively Sweet LLC had dessert there!

I am updating my review after visiting the restaurant that has been open about 3 months. I went for lunch today and had a lovely visit and chat with a mgr/​bartender. He made me a refreshing and flavorful Strawberry Basil Margarita in a mason jar, from the specialty drinks menu. I chose 3 tacos: Catfish Po’Boy, Kung Powell Shrimp, and Grilled Fish. I ate the Po’Boy first, which essentially ruined the other two for me because it was far better. I wanted to choke down two more Po’Boy tacos. Um, next time.
I got an order of Avocado Salsa and Chips to go; I used to get this from the truck when I worked downtown and know how delicious it is.
The place is about 20 minutes from my work, but it is worth the drive. Keep in mind the tacos are small for $ 3, but they are filled with quality ingredients.
The space itself is funky and comfortable. When you enter, the takeout counter is clearly marked to order there, or to dine-​in, proceed to the dining room which has several tables, as well as bar seating.
I was the only person who dined in during my hour long visit, but someone came in to order takeout and I heard the takeout employee tell him he would bring it over shortly, then saw him walk the order over (I am assuming to a neighboring business).
I recommend it if you are in the area for lunch or dinner.

I had read something abut Mojo Tago in the Columbus Alive and automatically wanted to try it out. I was a little skeptical about making the drive out to Powell since I live in Gahanna and there are a few taco places I already go to near where I live. Let me just say, this place was well worth it. I walked in and I already had loved the way the place was set up. We had ordered chips with the House Tomato salsa and my taste buds were in love with all of the fresh flavors. I had ordered the chicken taco, carne asada and the korean beef. I loved every bite! I will be coming back for some more :)

Random stop amongst an extraordinary set of events. Carnitas, korean bbq, and the beer battered fish taco to win the game! Seriously though, the tacos were good. Carnitas being at the top of the list fir sure.
And when it comes time to order dont forget the queso and chips.

I’ve been to the restaurant at least half a dozen times and I’ve never been disappointed. All of the tacos are worth a try, but my favorites are the chicken, carne asada, and the kung powell shrimp. The house salsa and chips are tasty and always on my order. They always have some cool margaritas and craft beers too!

My wife & I had dinner at their Powell location twice now. They are still trying to figure it out. We will give them one more try only because we live around the corner and we want them to succeed.

This review is for the food truck that was parked in front of our work building. I got the homemade corn chips and avocado salsa. The chips are very light, fresh and not greasy however they have too much salt. I tried to shake off as much salt as I could in the bag but still too much. The avocado salsa aka guacamole was very flavorful but had entirely too much garlic. I could of knocked down a crowd with my breath. The gentleman taking the orders seemed very personable and energetic. My co-​worker sitting next to me also ate the chips and guacamole and her comments are the same as mine. She also purchased carnitas tacos and stated they were good but entirely too spicy and she is Latino and used to eating Hispanic food.

Came in with my wife and best friend. Sat at the bar and met Steve. We’re very well taken care of. Downed 2 Mojoritas. Outstanding! Try the Korean BBQ and the Catfish Po’boy. Awesome. Mojo — can’t miss. Forget those packed out restaurants in downtown Powell and check out Mojo.

Atmosphere was great. Busy on a Friday night but got seated relatively quickly. Waitress was very friendly. Food was served hot and very quickly. Salsa are priced so that you can order a variety and try each of them without breaking the bank. Carne Asada quesadilla was fantastic.

Holy Mojo TaGo! They have a bricks and mortar in downtown Powell, Ohio!!! Now I can get my fix anytime. Brian, Chris and the team, really are passionate about great fresh Mexican food with very clever and distinguishing twists. The proportions are perfect and you definitely get what you pay for. When a small shop offers fresh food, you might pay a hair more, then a Chipotle (which I love), but it’s the cost of quality for local cuisine.
Some of the negative reviews have me perplexed, not about salt or spice, that could be a batch or timing thing, could be a personal taste thing as well. But about portion size… I think the costs reflect the size of the portions. As Americans we are used to the Barnyard buster for 7¢. (not to pick on T-​Jays, love them and the BB). Large food chains will always beat smaller local eateries on price to quantity, but only a fraction will match locals like Mojo on quality. Quality and fresh ain’t cheap. But Mojo isn’t expensive. It’s just right.
To another great year Mojo!

WOW!
We had Mojo TaGo as one of the 3 food trucks at our wedding.
Brian was extremely professional… and the taco’s were a HIT! Plus, the truck looks great.
Brian even sent home the leftovers with us…
We appreciate everything and will definitely be stopping by the next time we see you at a food truck event!

My review is only covering the tacos we had at my company’s catered event. Each employee was allowed an order of two tacos (from the choices of carne asada, carnitas, chicken, or veggie), chips and salsa (either tomato or corn), and a drink (I got a Mexican Coke).
I had the carne asada and carnitas tacos. I definitely liked the carnitas taco better, which had a nice pineapple salsa on it. The meat in the carne asada much less seasoned so the whole taco was a bit bland. I did enjoy the freshness of the pico de gallo and avocado sauce on top though.
The chips are ok, but I think that it was too salty for me. The tomato salsa wasn’t too bad though. It’s got a good kick to it and the cilantro flavor is prominent.
As for the Mexican Coke, how could you go wrong with Mexican Coke? :) I think I’ll have to visit the truck another time to sample other items from the menu. Maybe it was just that their catering options left me a little disappointed.

I’ve been to this truck twice now, both times at the New Albany Farmer’s Market. The first time I got Carne Asada and Veggie Tacos, and they were both delicious. I also got chips and the «avocado salsa,» but I think they were unnecessary and would not get those again. Today I got a Veggie Taco and my husband got a Carnitas Taco, which he loved. The black beans in my taco were unusually salty, but overall it was good. The tacos each have yummy toppings depending on the protein source, and the tortillas are fresh. The service is fast and friendly– I would definitely recommend this taco truck, especially if you are just looking for a tasty bite on the go.

It was just OK. I think I ordered the wrong thing, but there was no carnitas today. Not sure if this is a permanent change or if they just didn’t have it today. So, I panicked and got chicken. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t great. The red salsa was also a little disappointing. I got a TaGo bowl, too. May be a mistake, it was mostly lettuce and a little chicken. Live and learn, I’ll order the steak next time if they don’t have carnitas.

I’ve seen Mojo TaGo around other food truck events, or serving at spots around Columbus, but it’s always been «Oh, I kinda feel like getting something else…».
This time, though, I ended up splitting one of their (huge!) chicken quesadillas with my wife for lunch, and it was fantastic! The meat was really well seasoned, all of the veggies tasted fresh, and the pico /​salsa was a really nice refereshing finisher. I’m going to stop overlooking these guys — they’re a great option for lunch!

Thanks Mojo for the repeat performance. They brought one of their mobile units to our workplace this week as part of our Operation Feed fundraiser. They do cater for all kinds of events. Anticipation in the office was high … folks looking out the windows for the truck … starving ourselves for the lunch time.
The food was fresh and quite tasty. Had to go back for seconds! Service was friendly and jovial. A variety of different tago were $ 3 each, mojodillas (quesadillas) were $ 5 and tago bowls were $ 6. I sampled a couple different items, but have to say the carnitas mojodilla was my favorite. (I had to try it based on a coworkers recommendation.)
It was a fun way to spend a tasty lunch with coworkers and support the community.
