“Food was very tastefully Nice portion“

“Nacho Bae has a special place in our hearts. So much so that we come from around an hour away just for the food, atmosphere, and amazing service. Muhammad and Arwa gave us exceptional service and frequently came buy to ensure everything was ok. Their energy and willingness to help was great! The food was fresh and tasted much better than anywhere I have been to. The store atmosphere was great as well. Nice music and nice decor. I’ll be coming again to nacho bae and this is one of the top 5 restaurants I have been to all thanks to the food and arwa and Muhammad!“

“delicious!! so good.Birria and empanada are best ever had.“

“I love this place they are so delicious but I had a painful experience when the churro filling got onto my hands now they are very red but it’s ok they were really good. I would definitely get the churros again but maybe use a fork to eat them so they don’t burn my hands.

I also feel like the music is too loud. I don’t have sensory issues, but the volume of that music is making me rethink some things.

Keep up the great work hobrah’s. I’ll be back for my churros with a fork next time.

(As you can see the food was so good I took it to go, but my fingers are red from the burn)“

“Good food. Chuck is great“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“I went here tonight for my father’s birthday and the experience overall was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤“

“The tacos are amazing. Better than what I had at the Marriott in Cancun. The guacamole is fresh and flavorful, and the tres leches cake is perfectly moist and not too sweet. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size.

I was buy to eat so I did not take photos. Luckily there are many photos here already.“

“Great local Mexican food with authentic flavor and big portion sizes. We definitely ordered more than we expected.
We had quesabirria, assorted tacos, tres leches, and the watermelon mint agua fresh. The agua fresca is made fresh and was literally the most refreshing drink I ever had in my life.“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“Taqueria María @ Jamesburg NJ Fresh taste Fresh food Great service I JUST LOVE IT“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“GREAT food GREAT staff. Whether you eat in or get it to go if you like Mexican food it's the place to go.“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Best authentic mexican food around. The place is super clean and the people ate very nice with smiles on their faces. Being that we love the food so much and we go quite often I decided to learn Spanish and I communicated what food we wanted in Spanish and to my surprise we got exactly what i asked for. Anyway, I highly recommend this place as the food is so fresh and full of flavor! We get the Empanadas and Huaraches with a side of rice/beans.“

“Alyssa our server was very attentive We had an Awesome experience! The drinks were out fast and our food was Great!“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“Tacos here are the best in the area! They never disappoint and I’m always full with the 3 tacos that come in a plate! My favorite ones are the pastor tacos but the shrimp ones are really good too! The 3 leches cake and their aguas frescas are recommended too if you have a sweet tooth like me!“

“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“

“We had our son's high school graduation dinner here and it was amazing!! I met with Alfredo to come up with a prefix menu for our family gathering. From the appetizer of chicken empanada with all the fixings, to filled burritos of every kind, and the amazing atmosphere, this was an amazing day! Alfredo and his staff were attentive to us and we left with our bellies full of authentic Mexican meals!! We can't wait to go back and enjoy this local restaurant and share more memories and enjoy delicious food!“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

“Great experience,really good food,drinks,very good service and a beautiful place and decorations 😍“

“Ordered steak tacos, sides of rice n beans, and the Mexican corn. All of it was delicious. The steak was a bit chewy but everything was well seasoned. The tacos came with a few potatoes, jalapeño, sautéed onions, radish and the typical toppings of cilantro and onion.
The tortillas looked and tasted fresh/homemade. The green and red sides of sauce were tasty and had a kick.
The rice and beans were perfect little sides and the beans were really good. I prefer the beans honestly over other restaurants ive had.
The mexican corn was one long stick, typically its cut into pieces but I loved it and it was a great. Would order it all again but skip the rice - the beans tho, get the beans, lol.“

“Recommend: tilapia tacos*, salsa verde, campenchanosGood: tamales, barbacoa tacosOk: chicken flautas, arabes tacos, lengua (tongue) tacos, tripa tacos*Probably would have been a 3 star rating if we didn't like the tilapia tacos so much. They were definitely the favorite. The fish was tender and nicely seasoned.The seasoning and cook on other things were a little hit or miss. Barbacoa had great taste but too salty, arabes were dry, lengua was disappointingly dry and bland. The salsa verde was used liberally to save many of the tacos.The flautas were nice and crispy but the chicken inside was dry.The tripe had some crunchy bits that some people might like but I found them tough.The campenchanos in the flour tortilla were also a bit salty but I liked how soft the tortilla was.The tamales had nice texture, but the cheese stick inside was strange for me.“

“amazing atmosphere! love the staff! The staff memorized my go to everytime im there & has it prepped within minutes. They go out their way to form connections with the guests to ensure everything is perfect. Tacoria will always be my go to! :)“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“We ordered food on a Saturday evening and within ten minutes the food was ready. Got home and everything was so good. Quesadillas, burrito bowl, birria tacos and street corn. Our two year old ate so much of it. Prices weren't terrible. We would definitely go back.“

“My coworkers and I ordered from this establishment for lunch and I asked them to rush it a bit because of our lunch time and they brought it right on time!!!! The person on the phone was sooo nice and underrated AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZINGG all expectations were met. They accomodated to all of our needs with specific food instructions really yummy and nice!“

“had dinner with friends tonight. the service and atmosphere were outstanding and the food was excellent. Oh and the tamales are the best. I'll be going back well done Carlos and staff.“

“The tacos were amazing. Portions were generous and everything tasted authentic.“

“My sister told me about her local go-to for tacos. I tried the 3 tacos de birria. It was absolutely delicious. Sizeable portion (I was full with 2) and it came with a consome that you could dip the tacos.

Also, the owner is so kind. She wrote a get well note for my mom on her order. I had mentioned that had been sick.

Before leaving the area, I am heading back for another order. Definitely recommend.“

“Good tacos good flavor , deliciosos 😋“

“We're never unhappy with our meals from Qdoba! Always fresh and filling!“

“Me and a few of my coworkers went here tonight for the first time and they had Taco Tuesday and we all ordered Tacos and not only were they delicious they were full of well seasoned meat. The service was fast and friendly especially for how busy they were. We already decided we will be back again. Definitely the best Tacos I've had in Amboy and by far“

“Absolutely delicious. We ordered chicken tacos, el pastor tacos and birria tacos and all were amazing. The consome for the birria was full of flavor. I also enjoyed a delicious horchata which was not overly sweet, it was just right. I cant wait to come back and explore the menu some more.“

“Great experience. Tried to place my order, but was basically told what to get. I wanted an empinada one way, the lady told me the right way. Empinada was great. Burrito was HUGE and tasty, two meals. Highly recommend!“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“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“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“I love this place! So clean inside, cozy atmosphere , such a delicious food! Love tacos 🌮 ❤️! I will come again and again to try more food 👌 Thank you , guys for everything you doing!“

“I read through some of the comments and they were about MY grandma, the owner of the restaurant. Someone said that she was a he. And another said she was from somewhere she was not from! She is from MEXICO. People just make me mad sometimes when do stuff like that. If you do not know the gender of someone you don't even know just say 'they' that easy. But after all great food.“

“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!
