“Best tacos ever . I’ve been a client since the Sombrero truck on Market St in between Checkers and post office . Then they moved to union blvd . I’ve taken my immediate family ,taken friends , when my outer states visitors come is the first place they get taken to also!! Really everything is made fresh and there’s not one dish I can pick over another !! Can’t wait to get back from Puerto Rico to get some real tacos !!! Pa alante !!!“

“Service: Gustavo man, Gustavo. This Brother gave us top tier service, Masha Allah. He was extremely patient as I was really undecided on what to order since it was authentic Mexican and he really kept our interests in mind. I kept calling him over and over again but he kept smiling and you can tell he was genuinely understanding. He greeted us with Salaam and was so courteous through our whole time there. He also checked in on us to make sure things were going good. Great customer service is something that I never overlook and this customer service I received was one of the best.

Food: And the food was so good. It came out one by one so we had stuff to eat from the moment we sat down with the tortilla chips. Had all of our food within 10 min or so which was great. We had Birria tacos, steak bowl, the special quesadilla (forgot the name as it's in Spanish but it had maiz in the name), and tortilla chips. Everything was delicious and legitimately tasted like an authentic foreign cuisine. It is not your average Mexican bowl place. Heavy props to the chef for the amazing flavors and textures of the food!

Halal: I mostly eat at HFSAA or HMS Halal certified locations. So considering they were also certified is always my first step to going to any restaurant. I wouldn't have even come if they weren't certified.

Remarks: All in all, food and service was great and I definitely recommend others to give it a try!“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“My husband and I first heard about this place from King Schratz and I’m so glad we did!

Yes, like others have mentioned, it is a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. The food is consistently delicious and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My husband loves their tacos and burrito, and I’m a big fan of their elotes, tacos and taco bowls. Even my 79-year-old mother, who normally isn’t a fan of Mexican food, loves theirs. That alone says a lot!

Their tres leches is also incredible. I’ve sampled a lot of tres leches cakes in my life and theirs easily jumped to the top of my list.

Beyond the food, the customer service is just as impressive. Two of the owners, Jay and Kike, are always so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even offer delivery, and their driver, Juan, is just as awesome! In this day and age, it’s rare to find a Mexican spot that’s both authentic and Latino-owned... and Just Tacos is exactly that. We’re more than happy to keep supporting them!“

“Recently had my daughters graduation party at Agave. Isaac, the owner was extremely helpful and the staff worked very hard to make sure my party ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic. We had a party of 50+ with a DJ and had plenty of room dinner and dancing. The party was very affordable! Would definitely recommend!!“

“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. 😋😋😋😋😋“

“Friendly staff, dining area is very cozy and homey. Probably the most authentic Mexican food in the area (super flavorful). The tacos al pastor [with everything] are probably the best taco ive ever had. I havent found a better taco yet. Pricing is very fair for the serving they give you. Overall 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“We had a wonderful anniversary celebration with friends at Uno Mas Saturday night. Delicious food, great service, and super friendly vibe!“

“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!“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“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.“

“Queridos Alex y María, Desde el principio captaron mi atención. Su huella en la industria es única; a lo largo de los años, su constancia ha sido de primera. Oro para que cada proyecto en el que se aventuren multiplique su fe en Dios.“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Food was excellent. Everything that I had was great. Flounder, was fantastic. Great place to eat good service fantastic atmosphere.“

“Food here is amazing and reasonably priced. The margaritas are equally good and it has a relaxing atmosphere, scenic outdoor dining and always friendly service. Don't always get up to Piermont, but when I do it's delicious Mexican food and a yummy drink at this awesome spot!“

“WOW. I’m honestly speechless and that’s saying a lot, especially since the place was busy.

The birria tacos were out of this world. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and every bite delivered. What really impressed me was the consistency. When I ordered again, the tacos came out in less than five minutes just as the first time and tasted just as amazing as the first round. Drink quality also on point!

The service was attentive and on point the entire time. A special shout out to Helen for her excellent attention and genuine care. She truly elevated the experience.

There is parking available, which is a huge plus. Overall, this was a standout experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Haciendas Campus. I’ll definitely be back. Lastly price wise, very reasonable!“

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, they treat you like family—always attentive, courteous, and happy to offer recommendations.

“We have visited this restaurant on multiple occasions and have had great experiences every single time.

Food is delicious & affordable! The staff is friendly and attentive! 🙂
On a couple of occasions we've had to wait to be seated (due to the popularity!) but our wait has never been over 20 mins.

All in all, definitely recommend for yummy, authentic mexican food at an unbeatable price!“

“Great authentic Mexican restaurant. My favorite is the shrimp à la Mexicans with rice and refried beans. Shrimp are usually a nice size and seem to be fresh. Love that the sauce is freshly made. My family usually orders the chicken quesadilla, shrimp or pork burrito, tamales de carnitas just to list a few. This is truly a weekly go to spot for us.“

“Finally!! Ramsey was in desperate need of good Mexican food. Guacamole & chips were fresh and delicious. Our Burritos were stuffed and yummy! Our toddler loved the quesadilla. Will be ordering again soon! 🥑😍“

“Great food for a hole in the wall restaurant located in Gas station . Hidden find indeed.“

“Probably spend $15-$20pp if you're solo. Recommend getting a combo, and then ordering single items, if you want to try other things, which is what I did. This spot makes legit birria. I got there early before all the other food trucks lined up, and began playing music. Could be a vibe in the afternoon or evenings.“

“Very good environment and nice spacing between seats. Good atmosphere and delicious food! Employees are hard working and caring!! Highly recommend !!“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“Working with Bro-Ritos was a very pleasant experience and we can't wait to bring them back to Rutgers-NB again! From the moment we contacted them through their website, they were professional, prompt, and friendly.We invited them for our annual Black Student Social which is a fall semester welcome program. The staff were kind and worked quickly to serve over 200 students. Our students were happy with their tacos and burritos. The owner was very accommodating and met all of our needs.Administratively, I was very impressed with Bro-Ritos. We made A LOT of requests and changes and had to work through the nuances of getting a new vendor approved, but Bro-Ritos was always responsive and on top of it. They are true team players.If you have the opportunity, you should book the Bro's!“

“From the moment we walked in, the service at Dulce Patria was incredible. We were warmly welcomed right away, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful with plenty of great spots for photos. Our server, Natasha, was amazing and took the time to explain all their promotions, including a great happy hour menu. We tried the Tussi Roll, Dominican Power, and Cuban Tempora sushi rolls. Each one was full of flavor, and I was honestly impressed by how good they were. My friend ordered the Bad Bunny drink and the Beso de Coco. She enjoyed both, but the coconut one was her favorite and she definitely recommends it for coconut lovers. Parking isn’t the greatest in the area, but this place is absolutely worth the effort to find a spot. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back with more friends.“

“Loved it! Guacamole with fried plantains was delicious. I had the steak with garlic shrimp, very good. My friends enjoyed their dishes too. Drinks were also great- I had the Cucumber Margarita with Don Julio & it was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Trendy atmosphere and cool murals. Service was wonderful- friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. Will definitely be back.“

“I wanna give a big thank you to our waiter Carlos we had a party of 13 ppl and we all enjoyed ourselves the service was an amazing experience!!! We will definitely go there again everything was worth it:) THANK YOU CARLOS“

“Best service. Best food.“
