“Perfect place for Taco Tuesday. I love the box options at this and haven’t tried anything else. Today I experimented and tried the spicy chicken box added guacamole, peppers, and lettuce. I also substituted the white rice with the brown. It did everything it was supposed to do! I’ve tried the steak in the past but the chicken I found it to be more flavorful.

The food presentation was better but I was starving ?“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Fortaleza, and a huge part of that was thanks to Karen, our server. She was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect, and her friendly, accommodating nature made us feel so welcomed. Karen anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and her service was flawless. It’s clear she truly cares about her guests’ experience. I highly recommend dining here and hope to be served by her again! Visit Karen!!! At Fortaleza Garfield NJ“

“I pass this place often in my travels so I finally decided to give it a try. Initially when I walked in and saw the prices of everything I almost walked out because everything seemed overpriced. But I figured since I was already there I may as well give it a try. And thank God I did The food and service were amazing and made my trip and the money worth it.“

“When Paterson Ave Deli closed a few years back, I never thought I’d get to eat one of Roy’s cheesesteaks I loved so much again. Luckily for us, we stumbled upon this place today and found our long lost favorite! I couldn’t be more excited to know the chef behind our favorite deli has his own place with an eclectic menu, great prices and a great location. I got the cheesesteak and fries and my girlfriend got the Reuben (a sandwich she’s lamented missing from Paterson Ave Deli for YEARS) - two full satisfying meals for $30. This was such an exciting find, and I cannot wait to come back and try the rib sandwich and general tsos burrito. I hope Mr. Roy’s is here for a long time!“

“As a Californian am on the constant look out for excellent Mexican food. I found the place! The food is authentic, delicious and consistently good!

Zee the Manager is a gem, friendly and provides the BEST customer service.

Their specialty are the birria tacos—you won’t be disappointed. Its a large serving and you’ll lick your fingers throughout.

I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Clean, excellent service and delicious food.“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Food!

We recently discovered this amazing little family-owned Mexican restaurant, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our new favorite spot. The restaurant may look unassuming from the outside—definitely a "hole in the wall" type of place—but don’t let that fool you! The warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in.

The food here is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we ordered, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the crispy, flavorful flautas, and even the Mexican corn, was bursting with authentic flavors. Each dish tasted homemade and packed with fresh ingredients, giving us a true taste of Mexico.

We were so impressed with our first visit that we’ve already been back for seconds! If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food served by friendly people in a cozy setting, look no further. This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by all food lovers. Highly recommend!“

“Wow this place is really good I loved everything the moment I went inside the atmosphere, the music, and the food wow it was really amazing had some carne asado tacos and they were really tasty aswell the waitress was super nice and helpful as a Latino I definitely felt welcomed would definitely go again“

“This place truly feels like a hidden gem. While the interior may not be the best, the food and hospitality here are exceptional. The staff’s kindness brings a warm, uplifting atmosphere from the moment you step in until you leave. The food is delightful, but it’s the welcoming service that makes the experience memorable. I genuinely want to commend them for it“

“I love this place! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Brett the server is the best!! He it's attentive, patient, kind, fast with taking and bringing the orders and he checks to see if the order is satisfactory and if anything else is needed. I appreciate this kind of service especially after a hard day at work. Also, my friends and family members have expressed great gratitude for being treated so well. The food prices can't be beat, the quality and quantity is great, well worth every penny. The friendly and happy atmosphere is very welcoming and enjoyable. I feel at home here. I highly recommend Chevy's in Clifton to everyone I know. Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedication to providing excellent customer service and delicious food!! Love it.“

“A lot of thought and time went into designing this beautiful, spacious interior, including textured wall surfaces and designer lighting.

“I recently tried the jerk chicken burrito bowl at Guac Time, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were bold and perfectly balanced, with the jerk chicken being tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The combination of fresh ingredients, including perfectly cooked rice, beans, and a medley of vibrant toppings, made every bite satisfying. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was spot on. If you’re looking for a flavorful, filling meal, the jerk chicken burrito bowl at Guac Time is a must-try! Highly recommend it!“

“Waoooooo!!!!
We ordered a combo of tacos and a combo of birria mulitas, the food was super delicious, we loved it.
The person who served us was very friendly, the place was clean, there were two tables under a tent where we could eat.
The wait time was short considering that there were several people who had already ordered before us.
Very good size of the taquitos and mulitas in relation to their cost.
Recommended 100%“

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.
