“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.“

Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.

The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.

What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.

Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.“

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

“I had the “torta birria”, I’m telling you the food is so good that it will make you so much happier in life.

Not only is the food good, the prices they charge is 100% worth it because most food truck would charge you crazy money just to leave you feeling half full.

So please come down here and give it a try!!

I know I will be back for more. Thank you for your service.“

“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!“

“Fun. They shared my birthday Danced. Good food“
