11 Best Taco Restaurants in Jersey City

“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.“

“We drove right past it but THANK GOD we were able to turn around and get to it the food was heavenly juicy hot and suuuuper tasty the cook we spoke with was amazingly patient as he could see we wanted the entire menu but didn’t know how to order it lol the man was a saint and got us exactly what we wanted we were in such disbelief that such amazing tacos came from such a small spot but it’s clearly a top shelf establishment and will continuously recommend this place“

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

“Decided to come around noon to try their 8.95 breakfast special and was helped by Allen. He was pleasant and respectful. The store is clean, bright and breezy during the day and makes you forget about how dirty grove street area is! The burrito was filling and came with crispy home fries AND they offered free coffee which was decent! They even had oat milk. You really can’t beat the price especially in this area“

“If you’re looking for delicious food, look no further than Tacoria. There are so many reasons I keep coming back: The team at Tacoria is so nice. (Shout out to Louie and team for always making me feel like I’m home whenever I’m there!) The food is so comforting and yummy. The vibes are so chill. It’s the perfect place to catch up with a friend after a busy day at work. I look forward to eating here at least a few times a week! When you’re there, definitely don’t skip their fresh housemade salsas. My favorite is their habanero!“

“We ordered from Tacos Victoria for the first time today and were very impressed. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants around and I am not even that crazy about Mexican food but Tacos Victoria's food was fantastic! Very delicious and flavorful. We ordered a spicy chicken burrito and cheese enchilada.“

“I was on a mini hunt for Birria Ramen and let’s just say this little spot is now my go to! My daughter loved her food as well. The food is fresh, and seasoned perfectly! The guacamole and chips were also good! The staff was friendly and attentive!“

“EDITED REVIEW:They aren't closed! The phone may have been janky, but the empanadas are still delicious! I was able to just drive up this week and saw they are indeed still open, so I am revising my review to account for their tasty eats. I finally got my birria empanadas, and I'm pleased. :)Initial Review:I placed an order online 2 weeks ago, but when I went to pick it up the place was completely closed. I called and called some more but no one ever picked up the phone. Now the phone is disconnected. I think it's safe to say I'm not getting those empanadas. :(The order online option is still totally active too which feels a bit scammy to me.“

“I've been eating here for years... The BEST mole enchiladas and breakfast burrito in the area. I've done lots of tests and keep coming back here. Their mole is made in house by an auntie (part of the family). It has incredible flavor - I get the cheese enchilada (it's Mexican so grilled not gooey). Their rice and beans are super flavorful. I honestly rate Mexican places based on how good their rice and beans are (like if you can't do the basics, then ...). And then their breakfast burritos. Perfect blend of egg, potato, cheese, onion/peppers, and spices. It's a reasonable size so you can enjoy it without being in a food coma. I love the family atmosphere here - truly a mom and pop. Only recently have I started dining in - and wow, the food is even better! This place has amazing food. Skip the burritos and go for the mole enchiladas. With the exception of their breakfast burritos - don't forget to try those too (offered all day). I always forget to take photos....“

“it a small place but giant in delicious Mexican food 😋 very clean 👌 the staff are very friendly. if u haven't eaten in here you need to stop by. 👍👍👍👍👍“

“You come here for takeout/delivery food, not the atmosphere. It’s not a date spot, however, the takeout would delight any date you might have for certain. The jerk chicken, plantains, rice and peas are excellent and the homemade ginger beer is a real plus. Ignore the ambiance, embrace the food! Bonus: If you have an event, you can call ahead to order large sizes of everything.“
