“Wasn’t expecting much but was blown away by the guacamole and chips that we shared before our tacos were made. By far the BEST guacamole I have ever eaten along with perfect homemade chips.All 3 of us loved our taco selections and they even offer to make your tacos with a lettuce wrap instead of flour shell. We will definitely be back for more!??????“
“Love the lantern, but, unfortunately, they're done/closing up?. Dunkin donuts is moving into that establishment. We are truly going to miss the Lantern, we live nearby, and it was our go to place.... food was great; and, the owner/manager such a nice a guy!!!“

“We have ordered food here many times for our family. The food is always delicious and the staff is excellent! The owner is very supportive of the community!!! If your organization is looking to fundraise, please reach out to the owner of Bubbakoo's Burritos in Livingston.“
“Wow!! So we had a group of 8 and was pouring rain so looking for a takeout place. Found Tacos Polos because it was only 5 minutes away. We ordered tons of food for pickup. The price was great and the quality and amount for the price was unbelievable. We ordered a 30 tacos combo ?they were amazing. Everything was so good. We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“

While at the bar "Alexa" was very attentive to all out needs and making sure we had the best experience ever! I would definitely come back soon! I'm gonna recommend this place to my family and friends!??“
“We recently had the pleasure of dining here today. This restaurant brings out the food of its people with great prices. The tacos are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are truly authentic. We tried the fried pork, beef birria and chicken birria tacos and churros they were excellent. The tortillas are made fresh daily. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.“
“I’m addicted! The menu is simple, the food is flavorful and well presented. Service is wonderful and great value. Casual setting with beach-y/food truck vibes vs a restaurant-proper. I suspect that this place would have a lot more foot traffic if it were in town near Bloomfield Ave or Watchung, but I’m happy to have it so nearby in Upper Montclair, and I hope they are a long-standing fixture here (have seen a few places coke and go in this spot). The food here stands out miles ahead of a couple of nearby Mexican options, albeit smaller menu.“
“Tl:Dr was tasty but had terrible gas afterward, do not recommend for those with delicate systems!Recommend: tongue tacos, burritos, birria tacosI LOVE tongue tacos. They were a little bland by themselves but we're perfection with some salsa.The pico de gallo is quite spicy which was unexpected but not unwelcome for us.Birria tacos were nice but too cheesy for me (although for cheese lovers it may be perfect).The portion sizes on the burritos are pretty hefty.“
“We absolutely love coming here! The service is friendly, the food is delicious, the drinks are yummy. A big shout out to Lily! What a beautiful soul and a superior attitude! Thank you for the best food and drinks! Salute!Parking: Lots of spots to park.Kid-friendliness: The kids love the colorful atmosphere“
“The food is AMAZING !!! was a last minute thing and we are so happy we went ! Taste so authentic, and family owned. Out family had an amazing time ! Fries , Barria tacos , horchata, burritos.. all recommended! We will be back to try there pupusas. “
“Absolutely delicious! Large portions, great service, and phenomenal prices. We got an order of nachos, tacos and fajitas for $34 and had leftovers.Notes:BYO - They’ll put your extra cervezas in their fridge if you ask!Cash only! They have an ATM on site.“
“This is the best Mexican food I've had in Jersey!! It's family owned and the family is incredibly friendly. The food is authentic, it tastes like it was served straight out of abuela's kitchen. The homemade sauces and dishes are delicious and unique in taste. They serve birria tacos occasionally which are to die for !!! The place is cozy and bright. They deliver, prices are reasonable and the food tastes great even reheated. I love this spot!!!“
“This was my second visit to the establishment, and the experience was as positive as the first. I ordered a carne asada burrito and an Elote. The burrito was substantial and satisfying, although I would have preferred a more generous serving of chips or none at all. The Elote was delicious, but it is advisable to allow it to cool slightly before consuming.Upon entering the establishment, we were greeted cordially and directed to a table. Menus were provided, and we were informed that orders should be placed at the cashier, where drinks could also be obtained.The decor of the establishment is noteworthy, featuring a luchador theme. Spanish music was played at an appropriate volume, creating a pleasant ambiance.I intend to return to sample additional dishes from the menu.“
“This place has the best avo toast around best home fries. Delicious omelets. But the avo toast. I'm coming here almost every wknd for it!!! Perfect poached egg. And the arugula that goes on the multi grain toast. Devine!!!! A must try!!!!“
“Be careful what you wish for. One torta here completely eliminated any chance I'd be doing any more climbing yesterday at the gym we were at next door. Delicious lunch though next time I'll opt for something lighter if I hope to continue climbing.“
“The family at Los Hermanos is a quality group. The meet you with a smile and their space is delightful. Nice for a quick bite whether that’s for a breakfast quesadilla or a lunch entree. A great addition to the 4th ward of Montclair. Also, side note - they wear gloves while preparing your food and it’s a very clean establishment.“
“Tried their birria tacos, tacos al pastor and the horchata and everything was perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. Probably some of the best birria tacos I’ve ever had. The customer service was also very good. Definitely going back!!“
“Seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had. The chicken burrito is fantastic. The guac is always freshly made. Churros are also great. My girlfriend always gets the spicy shrimp tacos, even though it’s not listed here on the menu. But if you call them they will accommodate. Very nice hidden gem in Lodi.“
“I love Dario's Tex Mex, the first time I got put on this spot I couldn't stop going back, I put my mom on this spot and she now loves it, the owner is a charm very friendly and the food is soo good please don't sleep on Newark NJ food spots we definitely have some hidden gems here ???“
“My wife and I went to Bitol for Saturday Brunch and all I can say is WOW. We were both extremely surprised with the great service and food. We sat at the bar and Hailey was great, one of the best Bloody Marias (Mayan Maria) I have had. My wife loved the Butterfly Pea Tea Mimosas that came with her Mimosa flight. They had great brunch food options and we both really enjoyed our dishes, their guacamole app with the Sikil-P’ak was on point!! We will be back again for brunch, looking forward to their Taco Tuesday night, as well as future dinners at Bitol.“
“A very pleasant and delicious experience, a service 1A Alexandra, the girl who served me, that woman knows that it is a good service, and everything she recommended was super delicious, she told me you are going to leave the plate empty and she was right, you feel in a little piece of Mexico ??, after I traveled there I became more demanding with the Mexican food I get in the USA, this place is perfect to try a little bit of Mexican gastronomy.“
“Really fresh Mexican food with quick service.Ordered pickup and tried the steak nachos and triple combo chimichangas. Both came in a huge serving with a ton of sides and extras to mix in.Great flavor in everything I had. Definitely stop by.“

The menu boasts a variety of tantalizing options, each dish bursting with genuine Mexican flavors.Whether you're a seasoned fan of Mexican cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore new flavors, Taco Buzz in Fair Lawn is a must-visit. The combination of great food and a warm atmosphere makes it a standout choice for those seeking an authentic and delightful Mexican dining experience.“
“I always order burritos from here, also love their chips and guac (just wish there was a smaller size for chips cause I never finish them). They always do a great job preparing the food. Presentation is always neat and they always get it right. Their guacamole is always fresh and I’ve never had to spend a long time waiting for my mobile order. Would definitely recommend this spot.“
“I have been coming here for about a year, always good service and the food is good too, French fries are excellent and I like the quesadillas or the Caribbean burrito with plantains. Also the Agua Fresca with cucumber is really good. ?Parking: It is sparse.. and metered parking only“
“Went on a Saturday and they are a club also and we were not expecting that. The food was great and service was very good. Just had a little difficulty talking over the musicParking: Only a few spots available but had we not gotten there when the "club" started i believe we would have been able to park“
“Spoke with a owner today and had to tell her that one of her employees is always outstanding with service and goes beyond even when they are about to close. I know the owner told me the girls name but im going to spell it wrong but Andrea thank you for being pleasant. I noticed there was no more salsa out and asked her if there wasn't any i wouldn't buy that night and I'll come back another day because i knew they were closing and i know the hustle and bustle of that. Usually ppl say no and go about what they were doing but not her she looked in the back, front and said i have some gave me a cup and i was on my way. Everytime i have come to this location i get greeted and there is no hesitation to give great service. Thank you guys!!!“
“Overall it was a great dining experience. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was good, and pricing was typical. What was missing was the old days when Mexican restaurants typically gave you free chips and salsa for the table. A relatively small expense like that can go a long way towards enhancing the dining experience. It's like an Italian restaurant giving you free bread and butter/oil. Still, it was a good meal and the Sangria was good, though it could have had a little more fruit... Definitely worth a trip to try it out.“
“Natalie was such a great help! Explained everything very clearly and ? super helpful when I asked for a to go she even asked to pack it for us. Braught out the food quick and it was nice, hot & delicious! Great little spot for you and bae on a rainy night! Or any occasion. Cute little local spot. They speak Spanish and English also! Horchata frescas def give you that made at home made feeling. Overall we left super happy and full!“
“Stopped by this local dot because I was HUNGRY! Lol. Also needed to get something before heading to my next appointment. I walked in and although the place was empty, the employee at the front was patient, helpful and friendly. I liked the decor and cleanliness of the establishment. You could tell they worked hard to keep this casual spot warm and inviting. Down to the flower vases on each table. I ordered the pupusa and chicken tacos. The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Even the radishes and cucumbers as garnish was fresh. I'll be back again. I love finding local spots with great food! Let me know if you have any to recommend.“
“It was our first time trying Salvadorian food and must say, we were very impressed!! The pupusas (stuffed flatbread made out of corn or rice flour) were incredible. We tried two different varieties - Loroco (a herb) with cheese and squash with cheese. There are several vegetarian filling options for the pupusas. We also had the pechuga a la plancha (chicken breast) and the typical breakfast. Both were delicious, with such a great mix of flavours. They also sell many local snacks and drinks. Overall, we loved this place and it felt great trying out a new cuisine.Vegetarian options: Pupusas (flatbread made out of corn or rice flour) have many vegetarian selections. Two other dishes available for vegetarians.“
“I went to the Midland Park location. Mary and the other staff greeted my son , my mom and myself as we opened the door. The food was hot, fresh delicious . Every time we come it is always consistent. Mary was so friendly , accommodating, patient helping us place the order and helping me download the app. We will definitely be back. Great atmosphere to sit back and relax with my family. I even went back to the counter to buy more to go for my husband . My favorite is the pork rice bowl with all the toppings. My mom loves the quesadillas they have just the right amount of crunch .“
“Friendly and great service. The food truck was very organized when it comes to the ordering. The food was delicious. One of the best birria tacos in the state of NJ. I drove 30 minutes for these tacos. I would recommend coming here for tacos.“
“(Translated by Google) I love the food in this place, the people who serve are very friendly, authentic Mexican food and at a good price, the only bad thing is that they don't have parking and it's hard to find but the food is excellent(Original)Me encanta la comida de este lugar, las personas que atienden muy amables, autentica comida mexicana y a un buen precio lo único malo es que no tienen parqueo y cuesta mucho encontrar pero la comida es excelente“
“My husband and I lived in Harrison in 2019-early 2020 and this was our local taco spot. We were obsessed. We moved due to the pandemic and to this day we haven’t found better tacos than these. We compare every taco we ever have to these, hoping to find some that will compete and they never come close.“
“If you're looking for gringo tacos, this is not the spot for you. Super authentic, super delicious,l Mexican fare. The cabeza de reis tacos are incredible. Fresh ingredients, bright and flavorful salsas. This is definitely my new regular taco spot.“
“I went in for the first time today, the experience was amazing!! great songs, the food was absolutely delicious, and the guy was an amazing help! The fruit was nice and soft, the chamoy and tajin added on was perfect. i’ve been craving this kind of fruit in such a specific way and this place hit every checkpoint! i would absolutely recommend since i just found my new spot!“
“I would pass this place on my way to work and I was very interested to see what they have to offer. First thing was the atmosphere, it's cozy intimate and feels like home. Walking in there the music wasn't loud, everyone in there looked like they were having a blast. The servers were attentive and so sweet. I've never been in a place in NJ where the servers are kind, very welcoming and you can tell every staffer gets along. Growing up in the US and having the authenticity of Mexican food, they did phenomenal. I'm mexican and the food were top notched. I just loved everything this place has to offer. I cannot wait to come back with more people to see how amazing this place is. I love it 10 out of 10.“

“Wow what a place.. it takes you back in time with cow boys & everything related to them in display across that huge place. The details they have gone through to design that place is commendable. Even the furniture fells like brought back from 1970s..now let's talk about the real thing.. food.. Five of us went & ordered 9 to 10 unique items and every one of them turned out good. Don't miss the Gauc made fresh at the table & so.me house drinks. Lastly the desert, wow wow they were one of the best..“
“So we had the best work lunch ever. Delivered on time. Service is great. Excellent customer service.Food is amazing!! Everyone was so happy with their orders. Yum. Will order again for sure. Can’t wait to introduce my family to this place.“
“On Thursday we stopped by La Fortaleza Lodi. Truly enjoyed the environment. Very authentic. Feels like Mexico close to home. Got to see an old mentor Genaro. We caught up. Took his recommendation of the Trompito y El machete.He was courteous and attentive. He has a passion for attention and observed him take care of his customers throughout the restaurant.Family was very pleased and truly want to come back and experience the beautiful setting at La Fortaleza Lodi. Truly a go to Mexican restaurant to experience and dine in.“
“Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had! Steak burrito is excellent and shrimp tacos are AMAZING! My husband and I prefer the truck food over the physical restaurant location, the food seems more flavorful. The prices are great and the service is very friendly.“
“I had a meeting earlier in the day and didn't have lunch, so I was looking for something good to eat when I saw Fandango Mexican Grill. I was amazed at the beautiful decor of Mexican art. I was promptly greeted by a very friendly welcoming waitress. Everything on the menu looked great and I had a hard time selecting something, so I asked my waitress to recommend something. She recommended the Carne Asada Burrito. I ordered that and was not disappointed. The burrito was enormous, full of well seasoned steak, cheese and rice. It was so good. I would definitely Fandango Mexican Grill. ?“
“I didn’t know what authentic Mexican food was until I came here. This is hands down the most delicious Mexican food I have ever tried. Carlos, the son of the chef, provided outstanding service and was extremely professional as a server. I love this restaurant!“
