“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Food!

We recently discovered this amazing little family-owned Mexican restaurant, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our new favorite spot. The restaurant may look unassuming from the outside—definitely a "hole in the wall" type of place—but don’t let that fool you! The warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in.

The food here is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we ordered, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the crispy, flavorful flautas, and even the Mexican corn, was bursting with authentic flavors. Each dish tasted homemade and packed with fresh ingredients, giving us a true taste of Mexico.

We were so impressed with our first visit that we’ve already been back for seconds! If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food served by friendly people in a cozy setting, look no further. This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by all food lovers. Highly recommend!“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“Ordered via uber eats tonight . I've wanted to try for awhile (since I did a delivery for Feed the Frontlines) and I wasn't disappointed! We shared several items and they were all yummy! I will definitely order again.“

“Recently had my daughters graduation party at Agave. Isaac, the owner was extremely helpful and the staff worked very hard to make sure my party ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic. We had a party of 50+ with a DJ and had plenty of room dinner and dancing. The party was very affordable! Would definitely recommend!!“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“Food here is amazing and reasonably priced. The margaritas are equally good and it has a relaxing atmosphere, scenic outdoor dining and always friendly service. Don't always get up to Piermont, but when I do it's delicious Mexican food and a yummy drink at this awesome spot!“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“Absolutely loved it! Locations is perfect, plenty of free parking, great service and food is absolutely delicious!

I always like to try the new places and this one is absolutely amazing! Newly renovated building, parking lot is big, the service was excellent, the menu had great food choices and the prices are very reasonable, the food comes out fast and absolutely delicious and big portions! We all loved it and I highly recommend it!

Vegetarian options: They can make almost anything on the menu vegetarian!“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Great family restaurant and member of the business community in Wayne.“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“We ordered pizza on Easter Sunday for dinner. The food tasted really good and the employees were super nice 👍🏼 I would highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Finally!! Ramsey was in desperate need of good Mexican food. Guacamole & chips were fresh and delicious. Our Burritos were stuffed and yummy! Our toddler loved the quesadilla. Will be ordering again soon! 🥑😍“

“I'm blown away by this spot. I stumbled on it by what I thought was an accident, except now I say it was fate. I normally have to travel a good distance for excellent tacos but not any more. The food is fantastic and full of flavor. Everyone is so nice there too. This is my new go-to spot.“

“La comida deliciosa , servicio excelente muy limpio muy buen servicio 💯 recomendado !!😊😊“

“I used to go to the one in Middletown, NY when I was a kid. The inside decor is fun 🤩 with a nod to theme restaurants of the past. I very much enjoyed my entree with a jalapeño sauce and a white sauce, the margarita was a bit sweet, the guacamole 🥑 appetizer was excellent and freshly made. We will definitely go back to with our kids. Prices were fairly high from $25 to $35 per entree, but I understand in 2023 with inflation at a time highs, everything has increased in price. Overall, a fun and authentic restaurant which is oriented to celebrations.“

“Very good environment and nice spacing between seats. Good atmosphere and delicious food! Employees are hard working and caring!! Highly recommend !!“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“I wanna give a big thank you to our waiter Carlos we had a party of 13 ppl and we all enjoyed ourselves the service was an amazing experience!!! We will definitely go there again everything was worth it:) THANK YOU CARLOS“

“muy buena comida y buen servicio“

“the best mexican food. exelent service!!!!“

“Margaritas are the best. Beef burritos are great. Chips and salsa top notch“

“Absolutely the best Tacos, Tortas, Nachos, Papas Locas, And everything they cook and prepare is great!!! This is my go to spot in Rockland County for Tacos!! Hands down the best, their Sauce is 🔥🔥🔥. This is a taqueria, not a restaurant, a taqueria!!! Straight street food! Mexican!

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos!!!“

“The food was great. A very good , healthy choice for a family meal. This was a delivery via Uber Eats. The Delivery was poor. The Estimated arrival time changed multiple times so our food arrived 20-25 minutes later than originally scheduled. I cannot rate the atmosphere because it was delivered.
I would highly recommend Moe’s to everyone.

Dietary restrictions: Their salads have always been a great choice. You can order with or without dressing and would not affect the taste. You have several choices for proteins which you can get in combinations as well.“

“Great food, excellent customer service. Cant complain when you get guac and queso for free :)“

“Food was great. Tacos could have more filling but tasted good for what it was. Chicken fajitas were good and the sauce for the shrimp a la diabra was amazing.
Service was a bit inattentive.
The tables and chairs were filthy. I had to use at least 5 wipes to wash down the high chair, each wipe was BLack with filth.“

“I was visiting the area for a youth sports event. Looked up close options for food. This place was fantastic. Cute window drawings and the inside is beautiful with amazing paintings. Clean! And the food... Fresh salsa, guac and chips were delicious and everything was spot on. When I come back to the area I will be back to try something new“

“Tried New Brunswick location today for the first time after hearing raving reviews from my co-workers. I am very impressed! I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!“

“I grabbed some tacos one Saturday morning after my kid's dance class. I placed the order online before the place opened to pick up about 10 minutes after they opened (11:10am). The website oeganized the pick up times. We did need a wait a little to pick up the food. The tacos were excellent. I will definitely order take out again.“

“great food great service can't wait to go back“

“We had our first Bubbakoo’s last night and it was better than Chipotle. And I LOVE Chipotle. I have a new favorite though. Can’t wait for next time!“

“This small business is just wonderful. The food is delicious, the bagels and sandwiches are so fresh and tasty and the bagels are large. I purchased here a few times via the TGTG app and purchased bagels and their delicious home made assorted flavor cream cheeses. Additionally, the owner Ernesto and his wife are so genuine, customer service focused and take pride in the products/service they provide to their clients and community. I definitely recommend this bagel shop and more as one of the BEST in NJ and I drive 7 miles from Maywood,NJ to support them while purchasing their outstanding products!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is our go to taqueria in the area, I order tacos de carnitas. They used to be in a smaller space but they moved next door, this is much nicer.

Parking: Street parking only. There is a large parking lot on 14 chestnut that is free after 5, it’s only a block away.“

“Fun. They shared my birthday Danced. Good food“

“Not to say every time I visit Carlitos everyone is so welcoming and sweet their fish tacos are the star of the menu. I’m a very picky eater and yesterday I happen to request something special and that’s never been requested. I ordered fish with everything that goes on top of the taco except the tortilla with their spicy mayo sauce on the side it’s something different that’s not in the menu (not my first time doing special request that aren’t in the menu). So anytime you need to make any adjustments or special request let them know. Thank you to everyone at Carlitos for always making my experience with them so great and special!!“

“Great food, friendly staff. I had the super nachos, they were.“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“We had our first Bubbakoo’s last night and it was better than Chipotle. And I LOVE Chipotle. I have a new favorite though. Can’t wait for next time!“

“Best fast food I’ve ever had. I’d been wanting to try the Buffalo quesadilla for a while now, and it was genuinely some of the best food I’ve had. I also got the Nashville fries, and they were also fantastic. Fast food speed but not fast food quality. Service was great and the workers were friendly and speedy. I’d recommend this to all of my friends.

Kid-friendliness: Workers were friendly and accomadating“

“Very nice restaurant! Friendly staff ! Excellent and fast service ! Tasty food ! Will definitely visit again ♥️♥️“

“Great place! Such good service and the food was so good. I got the carnitas tacos and the carnitas was really soft usually in other restaurants the carnitas are way too dry. My boyfriend got the Torta Cubana and it had everything inside he devour it.“

“Great service and great enchiladas- Nice friendly atmosphere I'm great food!!“

“First time here ,so glad We went. From the moment you walk in the door We were greeted. The guy in the blue shirt didn't get his name must be the manager or maybe the owner Had such enthusiasm I told him I've never been here before and he went through everything with me even though he had A-line of customers.. The food was absolutely amazing I Had the chicken and shrimp burrito and my husband had the Steak and shrimp burrito. We also ordered the curly fries with Bacon and queso And for dessert we ordered Fried oreos with powdered so good we ordered a second batch.. Would definitely Recommend this location . Might take my mom there today That's how good the food was and the whole experience..“
