Tacobees Chicken Birria Tacos 2pcs
Nachos

“Walked in and the service was exceptionally well! Instantly greeted from behind the counter and everything was steaming in the pans ready to go. The menu had so many options so it took a while for me to decide but I went with the Loaded Fries with a side of Rice. The Loaded Fries had Fried Cauliflower and Guac with a bunch of veggies!
Price totalled to $14.48 which is actually really great considering the mountain of food given! I pretty much ate a corner of the container and was stuff!!! The amount and taste is definitely worth the price!!“

“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.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

Chivo Con Arroz Blanco Y Guandules

“I have to admit that my expectations were low because traditional Mexican food on the east coast is rare as hens teeth. My wife and I were amazed to find the fresh ingredients and complimentary flavors reminded us of some of our favorite restaurants on Cozumel. My only complaint is that the food is too good for a food Truck. Mike already figured this out because he's opening a restaurant. I can't wait to see his presentation on some colorful Mexican crockery. Traditional rum, tequila, and mescal drinks would make a perfect evening.“

“I've only had the chicken or beef tacos but they taste delicious! Add a little salsa verde, hits the spot. I'm here at least once a week for them. Also take out, I'm sure they're plated better if you dine in. Tacos are $8. About 10 minute wait, cooked to order.“

“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!“
