“This is the best Mexican food I've had in Jersey!! It's family owned and the family is incredibly friendly. The food is authentic, it tastes like it was served straight out of abuela's kitchen. The homemade sauces and dishes are delicious and unique in taste. They serve birria tacos occasionally which are to die for !!! The place is cozy and bright. They deliver, prices are reasonable and the food tastes great even reheated. I love this spot!!!“

“Overall it was a great dining experience. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was good, and pricing was typical. What was missing was the old days when Mexican restaurants typically gave you free chips and salsa for the table. A relatively small expense like that can go a long way towards enhancing the dining experience. It's like an Italian restaurant giving you free bread and butter/oil. Still, it was a good meal and the Sangria was good, though it could have had a little more fruit... Definitely worth a trip to try it out.“

“i usually order on uber eats so i can’t comment on the atmosphere. i’ve ordered about 6 times so far and loved it every time. the birria tacos are phenomenal and amazingly priced for how much meat they pack into the tacos. 2nd fave of mine is their shrimp tacos, i’ll be honest the presentation for those is typically crappy, but they taste really good. my one of my favorite things from this restaurant has to be their salsa verde!! it’s so flavorful and fresh EVERY TIME. i always order extras“

“Constantly eating here whenever I can. They are so good it's hard for them to keep food til a certain time. Their acapurias are the bomb and so are their regular meals, but if you want any fried goods go before 1230pm or chances are they will be sold out.“

“The truth is they are the best tacos I have ever eaten. My husband is Mexican and he doesn't eat Mexican food from anywhere, because he says they don't have the Mexican flavor. But we love Brenda Lee's tacos at Patterson. And the staff is very attentive, which is something very important in any food place. And those spicy sauces and the roasted onions with the nopales!! Ummm and I better not even continue because it makes me hungry. ??????❤“

Fajita
Steak

“I was around the corner to visit the amazing Art Factory Studios today and, just by chance, stumbled into this amazing place. WOW, the food was soooo unbelievably great! I've been to Mexico City several times and it was every bit as good as being there. I had the Fajitas which were prepared more similar to how, say, Steak Churrasco was presented.... more of a skirt steak with a huge bed of rice, black beans and guacamole all on a single plate with tortillas on the side for you to assemble. My friend had a chicken enchilada that was apparently the best he's had outside of Mexico as well. The staff is all very sweet but have very limited English skills (which might be concerning to some but, in my book, is a great reflection of how authentic they are to their food culture). The outside of the place could be a bit strange as it looks like a diner that has been closed for a few years. However, it was fine on the inside and was just a pleasurable experience all around. I'll DEFINITELY be back!“

“Paterson has a lot of good Mexican food and El Rincon has to be somewhere at the top of the list. I am not sure how authentic these nachos cantinero are but they taste amazing. I frequently order their quesadillas de pollo, tamales verde, tamales de Rajas (stuffed with peppers and cheese), and their tacos de bistec. Call them. You won't be disappointed. Btw... their prices are cheap for the quantity of food that your getting.“
