Taqueria Laberinto de Humo Mexican • $
5885 Jarvis Ave, Newark

“Amazing house made tortillas, thicker and puffier than normal. Note that the portion sizes here are huge so don't be turned off by the prices. The regular taco is probably the same as 2-3 normal sized tacos and you get your money's worth for sure.

Al pastor and carne asada are amazing and it's all fresh and made to other, you can see them pressing the tortillas in the side.“

“The exterior and interior remodel looks nice, the new logos make the building easy to find. Los Gallos Taqueria has a Luis R Conriquez wood burning mural and brings live music!

Content creators and musicians in the area visit sometimes: Herencia de Patrones (Clika), Rob the Original (master barber), and more have visited Los Gallos Taqueria.

Los Gallos Taqueria gives back to the community (i.e. turkey drive) and brings live music to Newark (corrido, grupo, mariachi nights).

We appreciate the occasional DoorDash deals! I wish DoorDash made it easier to DoubleDash EZBACHI (Newark) and Los Gallos Taqueria.

Tijuana Style tacos with Al Pastor meat are go-to, so are super nachos (custom order: add grilled onions and jalapenos, hold the sour cream).

It's easy to get here from the from Union City BART station on the AC transit 200 bus. The drive thru service is convenient for online order pickups.

They cater and do pick up orders; my last job would bulk order burritos for team meals.“

“I usually eat at big chain restaurants, but finding Pupuseria y Taqueria Rosita during the 2026 World Cup was such a refreshing change. I stopped in to watch the Brazil vs. Morocco game and was so glad I did. Coming to a family-owned place like this was a completely different, better experience compared to the stressful and superficial vibe of major chains.

The vegetarian super burrito was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious. Having lived abroad for a long time, being able to enjoy authentic food like this in our area feels like a real privilege. The atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly, and the service was just as great as the food. I truly hope this wonderful local business continues to thrive—they deserve it!
Thank you!“
