“I enjoyed my experience here, I recently moved to the area and wanted to try this place since it was close by, some of the reviews had me concerned but once I got there everything turned out great, the tacos were absolutely delicious and my girlfriend had a burrito which was also great. I enjoyed my experience, I’m glad I gave it a shot. Prices were reasonable, some other places are charging $18 for an order of 3 taco…insane…anyways I like this place“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“It’s seems to be slacking. The ladies restroom has no trash bin in the general area. They had toilet paper on the ground today. Most days it’s clean but not today. I do see young employees talking amongst themselves while working. Which is not a problem. But when the tables, trash buns and utensils and fresh drinks need to be refilled to refreshed. It’s a problem.“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“What a phenomenal experience! Just two men handling the counter, and they handled it AMAZING!! From the food, to the customer service, everything was wonderful. I’d highly recommend this Qdoba to anyone. My wife and I live in Woodbridge and stopped ordering Qdoba from the Iselin location because it’s so bad! This place has officially brought us back to being loyal Qdoba customers!“

“I don’t want to say what I ordered because I don’t want to set expectations for others… but I will say it was the best I have ever had, including california and south america. Food took a bit of time, but I knew from smelling the food when we arrived that it was going to be good. What made it so great was the flavor of the meat. I am so happy we found this place. Coming back often!“

“Foods awesome here. I've never had a bad meal here and you're definitely full after eating. My only problem is it is a little expensive, otherwise I'd go her almost every work day. That said, the quality and size of the dishes makes up for the price. I definitely recommend this place if you want some awesome Mexican food!“

“🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 Recommend you all to stop by and eat their Jus’antastic tacos“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“If you like Mexican and Indian food, you must try masalamex! Everything I ordered was so good. I will definitely come back here!“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican tacos in the area! I've tried a few taco places within 10 minutes of here but this place is the best. Always get my Al Pastor tacos from here. Love the green sauce they provide. Super easy to place an order for pickup over the phone. Very reasonable prices compared to other taco restaurants.“

“Drinks and music is great“

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

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

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“Wonderful people, great food. Always an enjoyable experience!“

“Dinner was delicious! The food came quickly and the kids were thrilled with their quesadillas. Guacamole was good. Chicken enchiladas verdes was great. Service was pleasant and attentive. If we lived in New Jersey we’d go back for sure!“

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

“It’s funny that some of the reviews here complain about servers not speaking English...it’s an actual authentic Mexican restaurant what do you expect? The menus are in both English and Spanish and have descriptions if you are not familiar with Mexican food. I love this place and you really can’t beat the prices. The food is great and I always wind up taking some home (maybe because I fill up on all the chips and salsa they give before the meal).“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price“

“Every single dish was amazing and packed with flavor! There are so many fun appetizers to choose from and a variety of tasty entrees as well. So many dishes have a creative twist and that's what makes this place so unique and exciting to try. I'm still thinking about those crispy chicken bao buns. We'll definitely be back“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“This location is GREAT!! The staff is very professional friendly & helpful!! Store is very clean and the food was ON POINT!!! Shout out th the big guy with the reddish beard, I think his name was Joe?? He was very courteous and got my order EXACTLY right!! I 1000% recommend this location to everyone!!! WAYYY BETTER THAN CHIPOTLE!!! lol“

“Food was delicious with great proportions, not too much not overwhelming. I was skeptical looking at the price of the street corn but it turned into shock when I saw how the corn was presented. It felt like I was eating at a high end expensive restaurant while still serving a pretty big portion.“

“shoutout to my girl lesly!!! i walked in for the first time not knowing what to expect from this place and she made it feel so welcoming and warm. miss chatterbox in the best way, it felt like i was visiting a long time friend. the food was absolutely delicious too. make the visit if you’re in the area, i know i’m going to come again while i’m on a work trip!!! <3“

“My eight year old is very picky. Very picky. And I want him to understand that Taco Bell is not Mexican food. So we went in hopes he would at least try some real tacos. Well, he did. I don’t know how you did it, El Macho but he polished off a full plate of four carnitas tacos! The waitress was nice enough to just give him meat and added cheese but he devoured them. We will be returning! Five stars!“

“We eat here almost every day. The food is always made to order so it does take a few miinutes. The food is delicious, I have never had anything I did not enjoy. Mr. C is always making sure we are happy with what he has prepared for us. Sometimes he will add his own little touch once he gets to know you and what you like. He will make great suggestions if you are not sure what you would like. The girls at the counter are great! This is a small hidden gem!“

“So I found this restaurant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and wanted to try their $1 tacos and empanadas Tuesday special I payed $8 in total but they missed a taco which is ok because I understand the are busy! Overall the empanadas were good the tacos were underwhelming with flavor (all the flavors) but service was fast and good, and it’s a $1.00 but I’ve had better flavorful tacos for a $1.00 somewhere else, but it’s ok 👍🏽“

“I ate here yesterday, and even though it was a 40 minute drive, I'm HEAVILY debating going back today.😍 The employees were all so sweet and helpful. It was my first time in. Food came quick. Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba wish they had the flavor that this place has!! I got the bowl with Chorizo and a bunch of toppings. The food was so fresh and flavorful. It may be a little difficult to get through with the turn around, but it's beyond worth it to me. To reiterate....all the employees were amazing! So patient, and so kind, and as someone who can be a little anxious when ordering i can't articulate enough how good that makes me feel. Didn't get a picture of ny food because I basically unhinged my jaw like a snake and inhaled it. 😅“

“I had such an amazing time here. The atmosphere was super welcoming, and the food was honestly some of the best I have had in a long time. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like it was made with real care. I will definitely be coming back here soon to try more of the menu because everything sounded so good.“

“Had to make a visit at Taco Stop Llc in Rt 35 and I was really hungry. Ufffffff - Pork chops I haven’t had in a while and can you believe D Cesiah Jimenez Burgos, owner made ‘tostones’ and of course the chips with guacamole 🥑. Sent my wife in Florida the pictures. Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!“

“so authentic and amazing service. such a hidden gem. Drinks were also great. The Twice as Nice was perfect for the summer!“
