MKT Tacos is a Hershey-area local taco spot serving homemade, flavor-packed dishes made from scratch with quality ingredients and community focus.
Speciality: homemade tacos and churros

Be prepared. You're gonna have your ups and downs. It’s gonna start rough and then progress as it goes, as long as they have something good to sell. It’s not always gonna be great. You just have to be able to weather the storm.
If you’re doing what you’re supposed to do, it doesn’t feel like you work a day in your life.
