12 Best Taco Restaurants in Jersey City

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

“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“

“Go for the corn, habanero sauce and limonada. Get the pastor chicken. It's the best taco. As for nachos, eat them fresh. All the while, as someone from California, it's passable in the Mexican cuisine but still looking for the one out here in the north east.“

“I went with my wife and daughter for a few days. We ended up at the Grove every day for brunch and dinner. Staff was over the top amazing! Not to mention the food was fantastic! Now to the atmosphere…we are normally early in people but this place was so much fun with the karaoke and back to the staff, that one night we didn’t leave until midnight! So so much fun and gave us great memories! Added bonus, it snowed!!!“

“The food and service were great! We stopped here for a quick bite after attending a show nearby. I just knew this place was going to have some of the best food ever and they didn’t let me down. The server was also quick and attentive. The facility including the restroom was very clean. I appreciated the decor and how the place was not drowning in music or lights like a lot of places. Prices were great as the servings extremely suitable.“

“I’ve had the privilege to spend a great deal of time in Texas, Mexico, New Mexico, and California. All places with an excellent food culture. In the northeast I gave up on finding good tacos, bbq, and gumbo. This place is the exception to the rule (for tacos). 10/10. I don’t know what else I can say to convince you. It is worth a pilgrimage. Get the cochinitas pibil. You deserve the deliciousness, and they deserve the business“

“Newly opened, nice spot to grab a burger and icecream, street parking... nice little dinning area to eat and chat... I was greeted upon entering, even though a number of people was inside. I tried a few cream flavors before I choose my choice. 10/10 Must try“

“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.“
