“Tacos are absolutely delicious, best tacos I’ve ever had. I recommend the carnitas but if you’re not into the fat then the steak(bisteck) ones are the next best. Their tacos also come with pickled vegetables on the side which make it even more delightful. I devour the whole container in less than five minutes haha. They are very kind and respectful and offer amazing costumer service. I don’t know why anyone would rate it lower than a four but maybe they were just having a bad day because I’ve known this taquerias for years now. Ever since they were located by Montclair Ave and I have never had a bad experience. I’ve recommended it to many people and they have all loved it. I hope their business grows and gets the recognition it deserves!“

“Honestly I was a little skeptical about tacos in Jersey, being from the west coast myself, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. The neat was seasoned, the salsa had nice bit if heat, all around great and flavorful, not just as a "taco from Jersey", or "for an airport taco", it was just plain delicious. They didn't skimp on the meat either.“

“This is THE place to go if you want authentic Mexican food at a great price. Highly recommend the Mocajete and the horchata! The grilled cactus was perfectly grilled and still nice and sweet, so good.Parking: Come busy hours, you’re gonna have to plan time to find parking and expect a short walk to the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: No specific kids menu that I remember, but the cost of the regular meals are very doable and the portions are massive! Could almost split a single meal between two younger kids.“
