“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. 😋😋😋😋😋“

“Wow. Just wow. We’ve been enjoying the delicious food here since the soft open last summer! Always excellent, never disappoints!! In addition to a small but very well executed list of main dishes, standouts are the Crispy Vermicelli and Pork Belly Satay appetizers and the Ding Ding dessert! And the courteous, friendly staff are always welcoming. This place is a real gem!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely blown away by Ixim Taco! The freshness is on another level. The tortillas are hand-pressed to order, the meats are top quality and packed with flavor, and the salsas taste incredibly fresh. You can truly taste the care and quality in every bite. On top of that, the service is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is beautiful. Easily one of the best taco spots I’ve been to. If you haven’t tried Ixim Taco yet, you’re missing out!“

“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!“

“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!! 🥰“

“Ordered via uber eats tonight . I've wanted to try for awhile (since I did a delivery for Feed the Frontlines) and I wasn't disappointed! We shared several items and they were all yummy! I will definitely order again.“

“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!“

“My experience at Tacoria was honestly amazing. The food was really good, especially the steak burrito box it was fresh, flavorful, and definitely lived up to the hype. What made the visit even better was the service. Rachel helped me out, and she was super friendly and easy to talk to. She made sure everything was right with my order and kept things moving smoothly even though it was busy. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and actually cares about the customers, which made the whole experience even better.“

“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 have to say it was a great 1st time experience the place is very clean bathroom very clean place smells amazing.our waitress Stephanie greeted us as soon as we walked in very nice very polite very professional also low-key funny…. Our bartender, Francesca was also a vibe & makes the best cosmos I’ve ever had…I definitely recommend the Thai chili wings. They were amazing the crispy chicken tacos also looked good. I would rate the food 10 out of 10 the drinks 10 out of 10 the customer service 10 out of 10. It’s definitely a must if you haven’t come down to the hive, I promise you will not regret. It’s a whole vibe definitely gonna see me again.“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“los tacos las sopas y todo lo bueno que tiene“

“Always open to new ideas Y siempre amables“

“Food was great as expected. Corn salad was a little smaller than in the past at other locations. The cheese flautas rocked.

Not as good as their Rt 17 location. Better than the Belleville Ave location.
They could probably stand to swap staff more between locations to help improve consistency and train employees.
One person I was with lamented the lack of diet sodas.“

“Want to have a good food, drinks and vibes with great service. Well look no further, this is the spot right here. One of my favorite go to spot. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Check them out.“

“Fast, efficient bc you order on a kiosk, fresh, not salty, tasty, and close to the train station across the street in fact. It’s about $3 per taco for vegetarian tacos without tax so it’s reasonable. I paid about $15.50 total with tax for 4 tacos so it was enough food for a hungry dinner. No place to sit so take out only. And they double up the tortilla so you can have some extra and put in your own stuff.“

“Great vibe for live music! From Grunge to Reggae... Great pub food!! I'm hooked on Thursdays Jazz!!! Every Thursday has different surprise guests - Jazz at The Dog House is NEVER boring!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏽☮️🇺🇲🗽“

“All I have to say is wow!! I can’t remember the last time I had such good tacos in the area! I truly devoured my chicken and carnitas tacos. Very authentic and maybe the chef during the day is extra good too because I definitely didn’t think it was as good almost 1.5 years ago in the evening when I tried. I have spent a good amount of time in Union City so I know good Mexican food when I see it. This is easily going to be a weekly staple for me going forward. Definitely take the time to sit in and eat!“

“IN recognition of the wonderful professionals at The Rotunda, I want to thank them for giving so generously of their talents from host to kitchen to table.
I feel it an esteemed honor to have the love of your capabilities, the personification of your grace and your goodness. God uses good people to do great things to serve us all. You changed the trajectory of delight within a restaraunt setting . With every love and gratitude, Bonnie Glogover“

“Stopped by Carlitos Barbecue Taqueria and it delivered exactly what you want from a casual taco spot like bold flavors, fast service, and tacos that feel unapologetically messy in the best way.

The tortillas had great texture, the meats were juicy and well seasoned, and the balance of cilantro, onion, salsa, and lime kept everything bright without overpowering the protein. The birria-style tacos had that rich, comforting depth while the grilled meats brought a nice char and smokiness.

The green salsa had real heat and freshness to it, and pairing everything with a cold mango Jarritos completed the experience perfectly.

Not a polished “modern taco concept” trying too hard to be trendy, just flavorful street-style tacos done right with generous portions and solid execution. A great stop when you want something satisfying, casual, and packed with flavor.
