“I don’t want to say what I ordered because I don’t want to set expectations for others… but I will say it was the best I have ever had, including california and south america. Food took a bit of time, but I knew from smelling the food when we arrived that it was going to be good. What made it so great was the flavor of the meat. I am so happy we found this place. Coming back often!“

Love the green sauce they provide. Super easy to place an order for pickup over the phone. Very reasonable prices compared to other taco restaurants.“

“Drinks and music is great“

“recently ordered catering from District Taco - Clark, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and a big hit with everyone. They also included all the supplies we needed, which made setup easy and stress-free.

On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The staff member who helped me over the phone was friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the ordering process.

Overall, fantastic food and excellent service — I would definitely order from them again and highly recommend their catering!“

“Dinner was delicious! The food came quickly and the kids were thrilled with their quesadillas. Guacamole was good. Chicken enchiladas verdes was great. Service was pleasant and attentive. If we lived in New Jersey we’d go back for sure!“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Wonderful people, great food. Always an enjoyable experience!“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“First time customer. I got two beef tortas and one chicken milanesa torta. The bread was fresh, meat tender and so flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Even the fries were well seasoned and crispy. The cheese, crema and avocado added balance to all the flavors. Excellent service and experience overall. I would have taken photos but I was too busy eating! This will become my Mexican food mainstay from now on.“

“It’s funny that some of the reviews here complain about servers not speaking English...it’s an actual authentic Mexican restaurant what do you expect? The menus are in both English and Spanish and have descriptions if you are not familiar with Mexican food. I love this place and you really can’t beat the prices. The food is great and I always wind up taking some home (maybe because I fill up on all the chips and salsa they give before the meal).“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price“

“Every single dish was amazing and packed with flavor! There are so many fun appetizers to choose from and a variety of tasty entrees as well. So many dishes have a creative twist and that's what makes this place so unique and exciting to try. I'm still thinking about those crispy chicken bao buns. We'll definitely be back“

“Sooo good! Better than chipotle and qdoba. It is around the same price as the other restraints mentioned. Very flavorful meat. Honestly, I was very surprised of how good this was. They gave good portions as well. The only negative thing is that it took them so long to make the order and we were like the only people there… but other than that I loved it. I wish they open a location closer to me!!“

“Phenomenal Tacos! I bet everything else is equally delicious but I love these tacos!!“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“👎👍👍👍👎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“fresh food, good portions, and everything actually got flavor. The chicken was seasoned perfect, queso was great, and the bowl was made exactly how I wanted it. The Staff, Chantel was awesome and fast too. Definitely one of my favorite spots“

“Good place to go great food“

“I recently hosted my birthday dinner at Casa del Rey for a group of 20, and it was absolutely wonderful! The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, from allowing us to decorate a beautiful table setup to their gracious hospitality and attention to detail. Everyone was so kind, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious, the service was seamless, and the atmosphere made it feel like such a joyful celebration. I’m so grateful to the entire team for making the night unforgettable. Highly recommend Casa del Rey for any special occasion, they truly know how to make you feel celebrated! 🎂✨🤍“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We eat here almost every day. The food is always made to order so it does take a few miinutes. The food is delicious, I have never had anything I did not enjoy. Mr. C is always making sure we are happy with what he has prepared for us. Sometimes he will add his own little touch once he gets to know you and what you like. He will make great suggestions if you are not sure what you would like. The girls at the counter are great! This is a small hidden gem!“

“Upon answering I was greeted and seated. The appetizers which were the nacho chips tasted freshly made and the chicken and steak tacos were delicious. I also had the Elote corn which was so good comes with three.. and I love the piña colada but I had it without alcohol.. they do have an open bar. Def would go back.“

“So I found this restaurant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and wanted to try their $1 tacos and empanadas Tuesday special I payed $8 in total but they missed a taco which is ok because I understand the are busy! Overall the empanadas were good the tacos were underwhelming with flavor (all the flavors) but service was fast and good, and it’s a $1.00 but I’ve had better flavorful tacos for a $1.00 somewhere else, but it’s ok 👍🏽“

“We had a really long wait for food however other than that we are extremely happy.

Huge portion sizes, lots of meat, absolutely delicious, really authentic food. 100% would recommend this place.

Sorry we didn't get any pics we just went straight into eating 😂 next time we'll try to remember to take pics before.“

“Great food and service. Varied menu. Large amount of seating inside and a good amount outside. The food is reasonably priced for downtown south orange. Family friendly.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and food kids typically will eat“

“I've been here 3 times in the last 5 days. I got birria tacos two days in a row. I also explored other menu options and ate the carnitas tacos too. Overall fantastic place, food is fantastic, staff are great and vibes are there. I have a gluten allergy and the staff were very accommodating, I never had any sort of reaction.“

“I recently order takeout and was blown away by the amazing food, generous portions, and top-notch customer service. Every dish was bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection, leaving me fully satisfied. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. I highly recommend – it’s definitely worth a visit!“
