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.“

“Un lugar muy hermoso 🤩 y encantador ☺️“

“Recently had my daughters graduation party at Agave. Isaac, the owner was extremely helpful and the staff worked very hard to make sure my party ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic. We had a party of 50+ with a DJ and had plenty of room dinner and dancing. The party was very affordable! Would definitely recommend!!“

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

“We had a wonderful anniversary celebration with friends at Uno Mas Saturday night. Delicious food, great service, and super friendly vibe!“

“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.“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“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.“

“Food here is amazing and reasonably priced. The margaritas are equally good and it has a relaxing atmosphere, scenic outdoor dining and always friendly service. Don't always get up to Piermont, but when I do it's delicious Mexican food and a yummy drink at this awesome spot!“

“The food was delicious. I had the gorditas with cecina. And it felt very authentic. Like a piece of Mexico in NY. The cheese they use for the quesadilla and tortas is quesillo or Oaxaca. And it makes a huge difference in how delicious the food is.“

“Margaritas are the best. Beef burritos are great. Chips and salsa top notch“

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.“

“This is the best Moe's I've ever been to, never had a bad experience and I've been coming here for years. I don't know why because Moe's is usually subpar for the industry, but the Mahwah Moe's is somehow different.“

“(Translated by Google) They recommended it to me and it is very tasty, the food is very good, the attention I like because the tortillas are made at the moment for me it is very good and I am very happy I have already gone many times alone with my family and I have also referred more people myself I give it five stars I hope your food continues to be good and keep going. May our God bless you.(Original)A mi me lo recomendaron y es muy rica la comida muy buena la atención me gusta porque las tortillas son hechas al momento para mí está muy bien y yo estoy muy contento ya he ido muchas veces solo con mi familia y también he referido más gente yo le pongo cinco estrellas espero que su comida siga siendo buena y sigan adelante que nuestro Dios lo bendiga“

“I’ve been to this location almost everyday to get lunch and it’s always great and friendly service from all the staff members. I order online and my order is always ready to go on time with no issues. My food is also always made correctly and not a single mistake made at the time of writing this. Raoul is always super helpful and welcoming.“

“Love the tortas & tacos! A+“

“Always good! My go to take out spot whether it be tacos, salads, burritos and more! My fave are the tostones and yucca fries!!! The point of the not so seasoned meat is to enjoy the made from scratch sauces on your food. It’s all in the sauces!“

“muy buena comida!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We ordered the chicken tacos, chicken nachos and a beef burrito. The food was very good and done at the time we requested (we placed a special request to get it done right away - bad planning on our part - thanks for helping). in addition, we received our food the exact way we requested it and nothing was missing. My only minor complaint is that the burrito is smaller than some places but it was well worth $10, which is a fair price. Everything else was priced fairly as well with large quantities and in most instances cheaper than other places The chicken tacos and nachos was a large, very tasty serving. The person who took our order was very friendly. Two requests - please add churros (your competitors have) & fix online ordering :) we look forward to returning!“

“So delicious! Authentic Mexican Food!Coming from the city, we've been to great mexican restaurants but this place has to be one of our favorites ! We had the sopes de pollo & tacos placeros with chorizo & egg, it was spectacular. it reminded us of home cooking!Its a Hidden gem for sure! We will be back!“

“Was visiting my mom but left her casa hungry. I stopped by looking for authentic mex food and found it. I'm not sure which part of Mexico the family that runs this place is from so I something I'm more familiar so I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was really good with the chili sauce. Only thing missing was horchata. I washed it down with grapefruit jarrito. I paid in cash not sure if cc accepted. Next time I will see if they have a house special like dish more known in there hometown“
