“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 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.“

A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Don't get me started on this resturaunt. If I die of a heart attack, it WILL be because I eat too much food here. And I'd die HAPPY. This resturaunt is exquisite and potentially some of the best Mexican food in the county. First, you can get Mexican Coke. Second, the seasoning they use might as well be sold by it's own. I've tried near everything on the menu and when somebody asks me what to get, I'd say I don't know. Because everything is great. The owner is incredibly kind. Larga vida a los tacos es vida!“

“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!“

“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.“

“A lot of thought and time went into designing this beautiful, spacious interior, including textured wall surfaces and designer lighting. Perfect for parties and couples alike, and kid froendly during the day with fancy mocktails. Take pride in hand crafted cocktails with freshly squeezed lime and yes they really look like the photo. Accommodating of allergies. Lots of flavor and great presentation“

“Oh my gosh! I asked the young man who works at the record store up the street, where I could get some great food. He named a few of his favs but the way he spoke of this spot, peaked my curiosity.

I walked down there and walked inside. Right away, I knew I was in for a treat. The decor - Nacho Libre is all over the walls, as tastefully done as could be. The ambiance was great you could sit further inside or closer to the windows for a more outdoor feel. The customer service was friendly and kind. I felt welcomed and appreciated, right away and throughout my meal which was mexican street corn and chicken enchilada. Delicious, delicious. Take yourself and some family/friends. Enjoy! Thank you everybody at Taqueria Nacho Libre! Very well done.“

“Listen- it’s rare I love Mexican food as much as this. I’m celiac and have a lot of l difficulty eating out. However, not only was I was received with excitement and optimist but was also given the best Mexican food out of my life. This is my new favorite spot in the area. Will be coming back for the rest of my life. The food was delicious and some of the best I’ve had. They know what they’re doing here.“

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“Great food and prices.... the servers are excellent and attentive. I been there at least 10 times and it never dissapoint. I highly recommend it“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“We had an amazing dining experience at the Tortas Lokas.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
Staff were outstanding—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu.

We travel all USA from east to west and order Birria tacos every place I visit, these tacos were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying.

The Torta Chilanga just as impressive—filled with juicy, well-seasoned ingredients.

Everything was delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients.

If you're looking for great Mexican food this is the place to go! I highly recommend it and will definitely be back if I find myself back in NJ.“

“🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 Recommend you all to stop by and eat their Jus’antastic tacos“

“We have visited this restaurant on multiple occasions and have had great experiences every single time.

Food is delicious & affordable! The staff is friendly and attentive! 🙂
On a couple of occasions we've had to wait to be seated (due to the popularity!) but our wait has never been over 20 mins.

All in all, definitely recommend for yummy, authentic mexican food at an unbeatable price!“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“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%“

“Great family restaurant and member of the business community in Wayne.“

“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!“

Check this place out!“

“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“

“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.“

“great food ,great atmosphere and service“

“Was our first time. The gentleman ran out to help my boyfriend in a wheelchair to get in. The food was delicious. We definitely will be back and will tell some friends“

“Absolutely loved it! Locations is perfect, plenty of free parking, great service and food is absolutely delicious!

I always like to try the new places and this one is absolutely amazing! Newly renovated building, parking lot is big, the service was excellent, the menu had great food choices and the prices are very reasonable, the food comes out fast and absolutely delicious and big portions! We all loved it and I highly recommend it!

Vegetarian options: They can make almost anything on the menu vegetarian!“

“The most delicious Mexican food I have eaten in New Jersey, the place is decorated in a divine way that makes you think of being a little in Latin America, the service is very good, the food is truly excellent, what a delight!!!

Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito, vegetarian tacos and vegetarian nachos.“

“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!“

“Our go-to spot for Mexican take out or delivery. I've tried numerous items here and everything is delicious.

Our usual order is the pollo asado burrito box and chorizo burrito. Everything on the menu is fairly simple to customize and I have never had an issue with customizing my order (no pico, etc).

Do not sleep on the mango habanero salsa!!! It's fantastic!! I really appreciate that when you order take out there is a hot sauce/ salsa area where you can grab as much as you need.

Another thing I really appreciate is that the guacamole doesn't include chopped tomatoes. I know this is a hot take, but I prefer guacamole without tomatoes.

Overall, highly recommend for take out and delivery!“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“
