50 Best Taco Restaurants near East Rutherford

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“The food here is phenomenal, not a lot of places make anything with birria and a lot that do don’t have the best taste, but this place makes fantastic birria tacos and quesadillas. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because a couple of times that I have ordered birria quesadillas for delivery, they forgot the birria broth.“

“I come to this spot at least once a week. I wish more people knew about this place. It’s such a hidden gem and the food is amazing. I recently got obsessed with Poké bowls out of nowhere and was looking for a place in New Jersey that did them and I found this one Rutherford. The owner is super nice and hands-on and is always trying to make that atmosphere feel super welcoming. They also have some really cool snack snacks and drink drinks here other than the Poké bowls definitely would recommend.“

“Falta uno en Puerto Ricoooooo🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“service was awesome, very attentive and very fast. The food was delicious 😋“

“I’ve never felt more at home in a restaurant than Deser B. And his team made me feel tonight. He was the most authenticly kind and hospitable person I’ve met in New York and needs to be promoted to running all of the stores the way he runs this one.
This was the most authentic Mexican taco in north America. Corn tortillas made in House for each order fresh. I tried all of the protein sources and every single one of them slapped. 20 out of 5 stars. I mean if you don’t go here while you are in town you are crazy.

The toppings and salsa were the best I’ve ever had. The tacos were ready in less than 1 min after I ordered. They are obsessed with being the best and it stands out“

“I come often to this eatery for lunch. The owners are extremely friendly. The food is fresh and cleanly prepared in front of you. There are quick and have never made a mistake in what I have ordered. They have a burger on their menu which is amazing. I am glad to have this place nearby my workplace.“

“los mejores tacos al pastor!!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“The premier easy take out spot in the West Village. I’ve been coming here for 3 years now, incredible and consistent tacos and burritos. My go to is either a steak and shrimp burrito (spicy), or a steak burrito bowl.

Unbelievable staff, with even better food. Couldn’t recommend enough!

“I ordered 2 Santo's Steak trompo tacos and 2 chicken tacos as well as the Agua Santa. The quality of the steak trompo was phenomenal. It's tastes so delicious and cooked to perfection. I'd have to say the same for the chicken tacos. It was some of the most juicy chicken I've had in a long time. I originally ordered only one but went back for another one! The Agua Santa was decent but nothing crazy. The food and service was fantastic!“

“This place is delicious! They run like a well oiled machine and the staff really knows what they are doing. We really enjoyed the chicken and steak tacos plus the chips and guacamole. Highly recommend a visit! Prices are reasonable too. Just be prepared to stand to eat. They don’t have chairs.“

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“delicious bowls. And I was pleasantly surprised at the value prices.“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“Dos Toros has been my favorite fast casual Mexican for over a decade. The food has always been excellent. Further, nobody makes a tighter burrito. Shoutout to Jada today who made my burrito and perfectly! I didn’t lose a single grain of rice!“

“Prince has got me hooked on their Loaded Nachos, they are hands down the best Taqueria in the area. The freshly made tortilla chips stay crispy all the way through.

The Short Rib Birria and Shrimp tacos are outstanding. Those pics didn't make it, so I'll make sure to post those for y'all to see next time. For now, check out them nachos. 😋😋😋😋😋“

“A friend recommended me this place on my trip to NYC and I had to stop by. Not only were the staff so kind, but the food was delicious. I bought two tacos, walked to a bench and ate them, and immediately went back for two more tacos. My only regret is not getting more consome 😫. I love that they give you pickled onions and hot sauce on the side for you to add yourself.

It may look like a “limited” menu to some people but when you perfect a taco this good, you don’t need a million options! Get the birria with consome on the side!

If you’re in NYC or visiting you HAVE to try this place. Skip Gus Tacos and get the real deal.“

“The Cheese Quesadilla is insanely delicious. Four thin tortillas are given with melted cheese and several condiments (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, two hot sauces). I ate with pleasure. This was my second visit here. The first time I had two tacos and preferred the one with carnita. I took two packets of freshly made tortilla chips home ($1.94). Addictive! Tacos Grand Central is a cozy no frills restaurant with a heavy door to enter and a slanted entrance floor. Table seating and counter are available. Most people order and take out. Four employees work here bringing out the kind of food customers like. I know that I do and plan to return as often as possible.“

“They are the most authentic tacos I have had since my last visit to Mexico. Great flavor Great Price and Great service“

“This place is such a neighborhood gem. The happy hour is awesome, and the falafel and chicken frito taco are delicious. Chips and guac are crack. I wish they had a kids menu but they were so wonderful at accommodating some modifications which we appreciated!“

“If you are looking for a quick easy lunch , I would definitely come here. Their cheese steaks feel right at home. They feel like they were made right in your kitchen. The tacos are absolutely delicious! I have no complaints and with that being said, you should definitely come here. Not only that but timing wise, let me tell you order it and then you turn around the gentleman’s already packing it up. This is my new favorite lunch spot!“

“This location for Los Tacos is delicious and efficient. Very close to Hudson Yard. Clean and bright. I headed there for lunch and was in and out within 30 minutes. The lines were long and took about 15 minutes to get to me. Another 5 minutes for them to prep the order. 10 minutes to eat. You get a ticket after you order, then hand it to the prep counter and wait there.

Their hand-made corn tortillas are the way to go. I thought the tacos looked small, but you'll feel sated because there is a generous amount of meat. The meat was tender and flavorful, very juicy and not dry at all, while still being lean. Adobada pork has a kick, order something else if you don't want spicy. Add your own lime slices at the pickup counter. Additional fixings on the far wall. Stand and eat. Bring your own wet naps and hand sanitizer if coming from touching NYC surfaces, lol. 😂 These get messy to eat!

NOTE: I tried to order 1 corn and 1 flour tortilla, but it's not customizable like that, so pick one for your whole order.“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“The one who answers the phone to take orders leaves for 15 muinsTelephone orders [Original] la que contesta el telefono para tomar ordenes deja a uno esperando por 15 muitos termine colgando volvi a llamar y segua ocupado despues de 35 minutos creo se le olvido que dejo a un cliente en liena por estar atendiendo en la tienda deberia tener mas cuidafo para las ordenes por telefono“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“The perfect little taco truck! No fuss, just straight up delicious tacos. I ordered 2 birria tacos and blueberry lemonade, both were so good I wanted more! Consomé for the birria is yummy - just the right amount of flavor/salt balance. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Absolutely incredible place I even got to meet the manager. The guy was awesome. I recommend this place completely to anybody else is off the hook fantastic“

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Best tacos in bergenline. If you want STUFFED tacos with a lot of meat/protein & get your money’s worth this is the place. double wrapped tacos, you technically get six tacos for the price of 3. so much meat that you eat it and it falls on the second shell & makes a second taco. great people as well. if your in union city this is a must have.“

“We ordered carnita tacos and the presentation was very good, although the meat was a little too salty, you could eat it, the atmosphere is like a bar where you can go to talk with friends but it is also familiar. In conclusion it is nothing wow but it is not the worst either so you can pass on the customer service is good.“

“great place located in Brooklyn. come out and support!“

“Food was amazing, made in a timely manner, excellent customer service. Gentlemen were super polite. Had the bacon egg and cheese & chile relleno, perfect temperature & authentic taste. Thank you and will be coming again!😮‍💨⭐️✨“

“I have been following tacos 1986 on Instagram (joy tostada) and have been wanting to try his tacos. we planned a family vacations to California to try their tacos and they did not disappoint. Tacos were DELICIOUS!! and the staff was very friendly. We even came in more than once to eat. Highly recommend it.“

“The best tinga de pollo tacos. Just get them. I had them four days in a row while I was staying at a friend's Williamsburg and have missed them since coming home to LA. On par with the best tacos I've had in Southern California. And the value for the amount of food you get can't be beat in New York.“

“3 words — Short. Rib. Confit. Get it now. My only complaint is that I cannot get it delivered to me in Cincinnati...“

“The best tacos and the best service. Very nice people. They attend the costumer quickly and the food is always nice and hot and super tastyThe best tacos and the best service in this restaurant, they serve you super fast and their food is super delicious and hot.“

“Just ordered a little bit of everything from the menu. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious! We had the chicken nachos- great Big hit was the chili tacos and the taquitos! Will definitely order again!“

“Excelente comida mexicana la mas rico que e comido de todo Brooklyn“

“Asked for a torta with enchilada pork at 8:30 am. They quickly and efficiently accommodated a request they likely don’t get at that hour. The torta was absolutely excellent and I’ve had a hundred or more after overtime a decade in so cal and Mexico. They do it right. Will be back.“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“We are so thankful to have Candle right by our apt!! Their Black Bean Quinoa burgers and Chickpea Burgers are amazing-we order them 2x a week!! Great soups, great kind staff, just overall a great neighborhood gem.“
