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!“

“Fast, efficient bc you order on a kiosk, fresh, not salty, tasty, and close to the train station across the street in fact. It’s about $3 per taco for vegetarian tacos without tax so it’s reasonable. I paid about $15.50 total with tax for 4 tacos so it was enough food for a hungry dinner. No place to sit so take out only. And they double up the tortilla so you can have some extra and put in your own stuff.“

“Perfect crew, perfect food! Many thanks to Piero and all his colleagues.“

“The tacos were delicious! I especially recommend trying the Nopal Taco if you’ve never had cactus before,it was one of my favorites. The horchata was also really good; it’s a sweet drink made with rice and cinnamon, and definitely worth trying. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved very quickly. We only waited about 7–8 minutes. Overall, it was a great experience!“

“Amazing shrimp burrito and chicken quesadillas. Ingredients are quality, you can taste the freshness of the tomatoes for sure. Staff was super welcoming and fun to talk to for a solo diner. Al Pastor tacos looked amazing (sadly I do not eat pork or I would have devoured them). Green salsa is spicy, but they give you a fair warning. Will come back next time I’m in the city“

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

“Just wow! Having been to Taqueria Ramirez, I already knew the tacos at Carnitas Ramirez weren’t going to let me down. And they certainly didn’t! Every taco I had was outstanding. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the corn tortillas were top notch. There’s also a nice assortment of salsas and toppings at a DIY counter so you can dress them up however you like. Everyone was super friendly too. Absolutely worth the trip, and I can’t wait to return.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“Just the best Mexican food In NYC“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Very yummy tacos with great service. The tortillas are made fresh in house and the ingredients taste really fresh! The staff were really friendly and welcoming and the service was super quick. There's comfortable seating and you can put your own sauce on like salsa verde. Generous serving sizes as well. Highly recommend eating here if you're in the area! They have horchata as well which was the perfect amount of sweet and helped calm down the spice from the tacos.“

“AMAZING tacos! I happened to be wandering around when I came across this place. Was hungry so I stopped in. I got 3 chicken tacos and 1 steak. They were very nice and even directed me on what to avoid because of my shellfish allergy! Can’t wait to eat here again!“

“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“

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

“Staff is great at making sure you know how to place your order, as it can be confusing for first timers (we weren’t the only ones).
Between three of us who visited, we ordered all of the taco options. The carne asada, pollo asado, and adobada tacos were a hit - the meat was flavorful and tender. The cactus was just okay, and the only flavor was spicy. We all got flour tortillas, which were soft and held up well. The person making my tacos made part and then made someone else’s in between, so I think he got confused and tossed a bunch of onions in mine, even though I specified no onions. I understand mistakes happen, but he covered it with guac sauce and then said “no onions” when handing them to me. I ended up having to pick them out but still enjoyed the tacos. The chips and guac are really good and fresh, and the red agua fresca (I forgot the flavor) that was recommended to me was also very good.
As far as the location, it was conveniently on the way from Battery Park to Brooklyn Bridge. No seating, just bar tops for a quick meal. No restrooms either. Bright and pretty clean for how busy it is.“

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

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

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

“Best tacos in Jersey that I’ve had so far. We ordered chicken tacos Birria style and they were so good. The girl taking orders was really kind and helped us with our order and brought our food to the table. Their salsa verde is good too. $35 for 7 tacos and a jarrito.
Clean bathroom!“

“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.“

“This place has some of the best Al pastor quesadillas I’ve ever had in my life. I honestly am amazed by this place. I’ve only ever been to one bad Mexican place in my life, but I have to say that this location blew every other Mexican spot I’ve ever had out of the water.“

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

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

“Really good for a quick bite, took a little bit too long for two small tacos in a quick bite situation and I’m not sure it’s the best vibe for like a sit down nice dinner, but it’s really good for take out. They also have really good margaritas.“

“Absolutely blown away. I’ve had great tacos in all the regular spots in North America you’d expect to eat great tacos and these made me feel like I won the Wolrd Cup in Azteca Stadium and married the love of my life on the same day. I had no background on this spot. Never doubted that it would be tasty. But that first bite touched me in a way I’ve never been touched. Wow. Just go. Last meal worthy.“

“This is such an amazing restaurant! I have been going here for years and the service is consistently incredible. The food is also a great fusion of flavors that makes the tacos like none I've ever tasted.The staff is super friendly and always creates a welcoming environment for my family. Highly reccommend if you are looking for a great Tribeca restaurant.“

“We ordered carne asada and adobada tacos, along with a nopal plate. The tacos were filled to perfection. Personally, I think the adobada tacos are the best. We had horchata to drink — it helped cool the heat. Fantastic meal and great service! 🙌“

“Food was great.
Refreshong passion/limonade drink well balance.
My w8fe had the sangria also well balance an refreshing.
If you like wacamole a must, you can get it spicy :-).
The tacos were great ( carnitas michuacana, and stake)
Antonio and Stephany were superb in their attention and recomendations.
This is a place we will revisit, even do we came fsr from Bellerose to test.“

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!“

“The food here was very high quality. As there was only one vegetarian option, it was still tasty and amazing to try because of how fresh the ingredients were, the high quality temperature, and the presentation. We got the mushroom tacos and a quesadilla with added pico de gallo, fresh herbs. The quality of the tortilla was fresh, the people were friendly, and the ordering process was smooth through through the kiosk. Since we went in the winter it was freezing but they were nice enough to add a heating fan. The best part about this place and selling point as we all know is the atmosphere. Since the taco spot is a quick eat N go, the keg stands as mini standing tables was very clever and aesthetic. Will come back if I ever am in the area and drunk 🤪“

“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“

“It’s a place you walk into that just has a great vibe—you know, the kind that’s hard to find, the kind that completely turns your day around. Good food, great atmosphere, and all at a good price. If you get the chance to go, you can also order online; they’re on just about every platform available for online ordering. Chef Fidel B—thanks!!“

“The food is amazing here. The margaritas are sooo good! And I could go on about the staff for days. Everyone is super kind and willing to answer questions. Props to everyone for making it all a smooth experience!! And shout out to Miguel for going above and beyond, appreciate you!!“

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

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

“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.“

“Great Mother’s Day brunch!“

“I’ve been coming to this small business for about 3/4 years now and although it’s just a taco truck I know enough that all I have to do is pick up my order and eat it at my house or enjoy it with my partner at the nearby park. I’m not gonna make a review about the “environment” of a taco truck and make them feel obligated to my seating needs for that I’ll just to a RESTAURANT it’s a perfect grab and go. The staff is very friendly and hard working people, for as busy as they get their customer service is consistently great. I want to mention how hard it is to find authentic AL PASTOR TACOS that are supposed to be made like how they make it here. The tortilla is always fresh, the meat is seasoned perfectly and you can tell by the color on the meat and the salsa verde is also perfect if you are into spicy fresh homemade salsa just the right texture not watery like others that I’ve had around the area.“

“Legit some of the best tacos I’ve ever had, and for sure the best tasting beans I’ve ever had in my life. Small little family run shop with very friendly staff, service was very fast and food was just incredible. Really enjoyed the theming and music, really sets the atmosphere. Definitely come get some amazing delicious food!“

“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.“

“That chicken mole burrito bowl hit DIFFERENT!!! It's Eduardos mom's recipe so you KNOWWWWW all the flavors were hitting! I rate it 9/10 to be honest and if im ever in the neighborhood I wouldn't mind coming back. This is my first experience and first order. I was scared at first because I dont like chicken mole but this one was legit“
