18 Best Taco Restaurants near Piscataway

“My daughter and her husband were in New Jersey from New Orleans & we were looking for a good restaurant in which the family could get together for a meal. We picked Tacoria because it was close to our home. We really lucked out because the the staff was very helpful, the prices quite reasonable and the food was absolutely delicious! My daughter and son-in-law both said that the food was as good as those in NOLA (which is an amazing compliment)! Tacoria, we'll be back!“

“Really delicious authentic tacos. Easy to miss this place as it is just in a small shopping strip. It's whole different level and nothing like the chain-type taco/burrito places that are everywhere. Meats seem really nicely marinated and each tastes different: lamb, short ribs, that kind of thing - quality. Lots of vegetarian options too (which you hardly ever see) like butternut, sauteed mushrooms, really good refried beans, marinated tofu. Highly recommend this place.“

“An incredible spot for people with varied dietary preferences or no preferences at all! The owner is one of the nicest I believe I've ever met. A great person and business owner. The food is always fresh and super flavorful. Come here very often!“

“I stumbled upon this gem (Gaelos) of a Mexican spot, tucked away on a corner, and let me tell you, it's worth slowing down for. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed. Despite the limited seating, the cozy atmosphere exuded charm.Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the chicken burrito with no lettuce, and they graciously accommodated my request to have the guacamole and sour cream on the side. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with perfectly seasoned beans and rice that were far from mushy. The toasted burrito added an extra layer of delight to every mouthful.But what truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and eager to cater to my preferences.In summary, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this charming Mexican spot. Whether you dine in or opt for takeout, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu, and I wholeheartedly recommend you do the same. Trust me, you won't regret it!“

“Hidden in plain sight! Mama Estela is a colorful food truck that may be missed since it's parked in a quiet lot across the street from Whole Foods and on the opposite corner across the street from Paris Baguette and Habit Burger. It's my go to spot for Birria tacos, prepared well and flavorful. Just found out they also have Birria ramen and it's another tasty dish. I suggest getting a side of chips with salsa or guacamole for some added crunch. Service is always friendly and efficient. Check their instagram to confirm if they are open that day and call ahead for a quick pick up or just stop by for a short wait.“

“I've ordered from here over 20 times I would say that the without food had decreased since the first time I had ordered from here I tend to order the birya quesadilla and tacos and while the quality of the birya has not changed I can confidently say that the crispiness of the quesadilla has and it seems that the quantity of beer in it as well is less and the tacos from the first time I ordered them till the second to last time they always use two tortillas which always made it so the second one never got soggy and it was the perfect balance of juicy and not breaking apart and now they only use one so it's a lot more soggy than it used to be I would still recommend it heavily but it's not as good and the quesadilla seems to have less barrier and is less crispy also they seem to use less consomme on the tortilla which makes it a little less flavorful as well I would still heavily recommend this place but it's an overall I'd say the quality has declined a little bit and it worries me if it will decline again but until that day I'll keep coming here“

“Marcy’s Kitchen is a neighborhood gem. Marcy and her family are super sweet and lovely people. The food has even improved over time. I love the shrimp burrito. The guacamole is always made fresh and is killer. I enjoy the Aztec soup which has great flavors. You can’t go wrong with anything here. If you are looking for real Mexican, you won’t find better in the area.“

“My new go to Birria and taco place. This place is unbelievable good. I have been trying to find a Birria place that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and I found it! The portions are big, clean, filling, and CHEAP. 4 tacos are about $14, compare to other places where I paid $25 for 3 tiny tacos. There is only chicken and beef, and as a person who only eats halal it made me soooo happy. I didn't have to worry about there being a ton of pork on the menu! This place is super lowkey, hidden from the world but super trendy and spacious inside. Definitely great for meeting up with friends to overeat great food. The consommé was hot and flavorful, and if you needed more of a kick, they had a hot sauce station! The staff was very kind and helpful with all the questions and when we came back for a second round of tacos! This is the type of place to order everything on the menu with your friends and go crazy. I highly highly recommend and I will be back!“

“This place is soooooo good! We always get the tacos: pastor, enchilada, pollo, and asada. It's double tortilla and they really stuff the tacos so I like to divide the taco in half and make it "double portion" (it's soooo stuffed). They give you a side of radishes, lime, green sauce, and red sauce (no idea what the sauces are but they are BOMB). We've ordered 4 times already, whenever we have people over, and they are ALWAYS impressed. LOVE this place. We want to, one day, try the breakfast menu too.“

“Place is not bad. First time we went was for my wife's birthday. We were excited for Birria tacos. The consome was not bad. My wife enjoyed it. Taco shells are crispy and cheese was just the right amount. Meat was good portion. The place is very small. Its my only complaint. The waitress is good but there's only one in the place so if it's busy it's hard for her to tend to every table but she tries her best. They should add ground beef as part of their meat options. I would recommend this place if you're in a mood for some good tacos.“

“It was Saturday cleaning & I didn’t feel like cooking... ordered breakfast, the girl on the phone was super nice and patient. They took my payment over the phone and my order was at my door 25min later after she told me 40-45min. Their tortillas were nice and fresh. Would definitely order again!“

“I came in hungry with my family of 8 and everywhere there are hassles to get us out but here I felt welcomed and very well attended. The place was clean and tables were set to our accommodations, bathroom smelled amazing not like those nasty public bathrooms.. Let me Get to the best Part which is the food.. I ordered a traditional Honduran plater called “pollos con tajadas” and let me tell you I liked the plate clean. The chicken was juicy tender and flavorful, the tajadas were cooked perfectly and crispy, the curtido on the side was amazing, you could just devour it by itself. The wings were Good, the drinks were perfect especially the Pineapple refreshment.. all this was maybe because I was hungry but this is a 10/10 would recommend“

“Amazing authentic Mexican food, everything on the menu was good. I also loved my passion fruit juice. We accidentally spilled over the juice, the waitress gave us a free refill and cleaned the floor immediately for us. Such a wonderful dining “

“This place is authentic and delicious. The guacamole is made to order and is MASSIVE, comes with a huge pile of chips, it’s fantastic. And the birria tacos are fire, they come 4 to an order and the consommé it comes with is so good. A job very well done, La Raza :)“
