“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 Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“Some of the most IMPRESSIVE service and food I have ever experienced. My girlfriend and I ordered the Burrata and Churros with some drinks. First of all, I've made burrata at home for years, its one of my favorite dishes, but THIS BURRATA CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE (Churros too). I have never experienced such a wonderful palate of flavors from burrata before. Laisha, the server, was extremely friendly and informative of the menu as well as considerate of any allergies we may have. Please visit this place!!“

“I am not a big taco fan but these tacos were sooo good. They put an avocado sauce on top that tastes fantastic. And they are prices are pretty average for most taco spots. I had the quesabirria tacos- delicious!! It’s so great to finally have an authentic and tasty taco spot in Garfield. And the staff was so sweet and friendly. They gave my friend and I rose for Valentine’s Day. I will definitely be back!! 🥰“

“We stopped in for the first time today. The restaurant was so neat and clean. The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered shrimp and cheese empanadas, shrimp tacos, birria wings and churros. It was a lot of food but we were really excited to try this restaurant. A true hidden gem!“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“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!“

“Prince has got me hooked on their Loaded Nachos, they are hands down the best Taqueria in the area. The freshly made tortilla chips stay crispy all the way through.

The Short Rib Birria and Shrimp tacos are outstanding. Those pics didn't make it, so I'll make sure to post those for y'all to see next time. For now, check out them nachos. 😋😋😋😋😋“

“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.“

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! 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.“

“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“

“I had a really difficult day and was really not in the best of moods when I arrived, somehow my server Arianna was the best person to get me back on track. Very professional and pleasant demeanor, she managed to make our family dinner the best moment of the day! Great job Chevys - hire more like her please!!!“

“Without a doubt the best taco’s I’ve ever had! Cute neighborhood establishment. Really nice staff! Thank you! 🌮🌮🌮🌮❤️“

“Queridos Alex y María, Desde el principio captaron mi atención. Su huella en la industria es única; a lo largo de los años, su constancia ha sido de primera. Oro para que cada proyecto en el que se aventuren multiplique su fe en Dios.“

“The food here is always so fresh and delicious. I haven't had a single meal that I didn't love. The La Exotica and La Consentida are my favorite menu items right now, but the tacos are also really good. I still need to try a lot of other things on the menu. The manager, the chef and the entire team are amazing people, super friendly and hard working. The kitchen, which is open to the dining area, is always immaculate. It reminds me of the really good hole in the wall restaurants I used to go to when I lived in Astoria, Queens. I cannot say enough good things about this spot... Probably my favorite addition to the area in my 2 years living here!“

“Edit: Updating my review. After it was open for a couple months I went back and it was much improved, bumping up to 4 stars.

Recently opened. I'll cut them some slack but the staff clearly are not trained well enough yet. Unorganized, broken burritos, confusion, bags not big enough, etc. Id wait a month or two until they are more trained.“

“Great lunch! Service was great and fun- if you juggled a soccer ball 20 times you would get a free appetizer. The food was really good and filling. We enjoyed the guac and chips, Chisatacos, Quesabirria, Chicken Quesadilla, Rice. All fabulous. Would absolutely recommend.“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“I really like this place, especially the juice; it's delicious.“

“I went there to celebrate my birthday and the service was excellent!!! Our server was very attentive and we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering it. 10/10 recommend!!🤩🥳👏🏼🌮🇲🇽😋“

“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“

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

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Excellent service and a great customer experience! I arrived later than expected, and my food had gone cold due to the delay. However, Peter went above and beyond to assist me by kindly remaking my order at no additional cost. I truly appreciated his professionalism and willingness to help. Highly recommend!“

“Food was excellent. Everything that I had was great. Flounder, was fantastic. Great place to eat good service fantastic atmosphere.“

“My husband and I stopped by Guacamole and really enjoyed it. We both got the steak burrito and it was really good — fresh, flavorful, and a great portion. The guacamole was fresh, we had Jarritos, and Javier the owner was very welcoming and took great care of us. Good food, good price, and a really nice experience. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Fui a comer y todo está delicioso me encantan los burritos y el agua de tamarindo“

“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.“

“Ordered through GrubHub and my order was stolen. The hostess worked with me for the next 30 minutes trying to correct this mistake and even comped one of my items after they offered for one of their own drivers to deliver the remade order. Will definitely order with them again.“

“excelente lugar para compartir en familia chicharrón el payaso mago 732 621 9305“

“Excellent vibe. Authentic as you can be. I'm here at least twice a week I work close by. Very good customer service high quality and the owner is real chill. Now let's get to the food The sauteed beef is where it's at I get that and those chicken tacos. I recently discovered that burrito is becoming my favorite. I used to grab a couple for me and my boy and I'll take him home and tear it up. Yum yum come and get some.“

“Great Mother’s Day brunch!“

“Hacienda Restaurant meet the best standards that we requested to enjoy a good time with a quality services.“

“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.“

“Ate here on Sunday. Nice ambience inside, food was exceptional. Not the usual take on Mexican food. Everything was very fresh & obviously cooked for the order (not in advance ) Nachos & Guacamole are great starters. Just be patient because since everything is cooked on order, you have to wait a little more than usual. It's not bad service, it's worth waiting. Also another "nice touch", the menus are tablets, If you want Mexican you won't go wrong here.“
