"El Macho" Taquería & Restaurant

I ordered 2 pork skin (cueritos) tacos and they came with about 50 to 70% lard. That’s a bad combination. Everything else was fine, nice natural juices and food presentation. Also the beef tongue tacos were good but look the size. Any other restaurant will fill the plate with 4 tacos. But each your own style.

Service was good, but the food omg I have no words to describe how bad it was.

Everything here is great! Chorizo quesadillas, dirty tacos, and tostadas are especially good

Alot of options of many things you can have.

Came in to eat while on travel for work in Newark. It was walkable from my hotel. Falls right into a little town area. Great food and atmosphere and also took a tres leches to go :)

Can not say enough good things about this place. The manager was super patient with me over the phone as I stumbled to pronounce and describe the food I wanted. He made sure to accommodate my nephew's food allergies when suggesting food for us. We arrived and our food wasn't ready so he sat us at a table and gave us ice cold water and talked to us as we waited. Oh, and the food was amazing! This was genuinely one of the best experiences as far as hospitality and quality of the food. Amazing!

All the food was delicious

Went here before the Gotham soccer game (15 min walk from stadium). So glad we did! The staff was very friendly and the food/drinks were absolutely delicious! Salsa was so fresh and we couldn’t get enough of the mangonada! Amazing! Both of our dishes were so good, as well! My husband loved the fried eggs carnitas bowl. We will come here before each Gotham or Red Bull game and we will get that drink every time!

My eight year old is very picky. Very picky. And I want him to understand that Taco Bell is not Mexican food. So we went in hopes he would at least try some real tacos. Well, he did. I don’t know how you did it, El Macho but he polished off a full plate of four carnitas tacos! The waitress was nice enough to just give him meat and added cheese but he devoured them. We will be returning! Five stars!

perfect restaurant. Delicious birria, huitlacoche, tamarindo.

Well, it was an experience. Genuinely, some of the food came a bit burned (macho bowl), steak fajitas are easy and were well seasoned and cooked. Granted receiving tortillas for fajitas made no sense as it didn't come with guac nor pico de Gallo -so what are we rolling with steak bits? It was a bit unfortunate to witness a roach running around and a nearby table screaming a bit. The no filtered water was also a bit unexpected. They surely were nice and were trying to make it work, but there's a lot to be desired for quality improvements across the board.

Everything about this place is amazing. The tacos de cueritos are my favorite. I usually order the chilaquiles or the birria quesadillas. The food is always worth the wait and everything is fresh and homemade. Absolutely delicious. I also recommend the tres leches!

Vegetarian options: They offer certain quesadillas with fillings such as mushrooms or squash blossoms

Kid-friendliness: Depending on how well your kid eats, the tacos are a great size for kids. They also have rice and beans with a protein and a side
