“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!“
“Tacowala is a really great option for large events. Amish was incredibly welcoming and helpful in helping us choose how much and what to order for my guests. We fed 40+ people with the tacowala catering event, it was all correct and greatly organized. I would recommend this to anyone hosting a large party as a great option for vegetarian mexican inspired indian tacos!“
“Lovely place all the food was good just wish the prices were oh so slightly cheaper and that they had ph/ hydrogen water, I truely believe this place would be way more popular with slightly better prices !!! And if more people knew about it like please push your marketing out more!!!!!“
“We got the Birria tacos and they were VERY good. My fiancé and I were in Miami a few months ago and would go to the food truck daily for this. We were sad coming back to jersey and have missed it but now we found this truck which is amazing. We are excited to have it close to home. Will most likely be here weekly !“
“I cannot rave about this place enough. We visit about once or twice a week and everyone seems to get better. Highly recommend if you're looking for legitimate Tex mex dining. Clean establishment, food is phenomenal, the gentleman who owns it is so kind and attentive. The hospitality is just as good as the food.“
“I tried their birria tacos when they first opened (1-2 years ago), and they were good but I remember the tacos were on the smaller side compared to others I've had (e.g. Chofi in Union). Granted, they were a new restaurant and I assumed still working out some kinks. In all honesty, I ended up forgetting about this restaurant. I just ordered through Uber eats today, and the tacos were bigger than last time, tasted amazing, and delivered hot. Flavor was on point for the tacos, consome, and green salsa. Happy to add The Birria Kitchen in my rotation of local restaurants!“
“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.“
“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 here on a Tuesday unaware that this restaurant had a Taco Tuesday special. The taco orders come in sets of 2 and each set is $4, so $2 per taco. Compared to some of the other Mexican restaurants around, this was an exceptional deal to me. After being seated, I was given chips and salsa. There are 4 varieties of salsa that are freshly made in this restaurant and the chips strike the right balance between saltiness, crunchiness, and grease. I ordered 4 sets of tacos that day (8 in total) and stuffed myself silly. Needless to say that the tacos were delicious. I liked that they gave thick cuts of radish with the tacos. It makes them feel healthier in a way. Since I've first came to this restaurant, I've since returned and tried all of the non-vegetarian taco varieties available on Taco Tuesday. My favorites would probably be the al pastor, campechanos, and enchiladas, but all of them were good. I don't think I've ever countered tacos de campechanos or enchiladas before, so those were interesting to me.Besides the tacos, I quite like the interior design of the place. It's very colorful and they play all sorts of old school Mexican pop and rock songs. The service is quick and the staff is very attentive.Now until now I've done nothing but praise this restaurant up until this point, but there are a couple of (very minor) downsides I want to point out. One is that there's no beer or alcoholic drinks served here, which is fine I guess since I really don't need the extra calories anyways. The second is that this place doesn't have my favorite taco variety - tacos de lengua. To me, having tacos de lengua on the menu makes me feel like it's a real Mexican place, but not having isn't the end of the world. Oh well. Would be nice though.I'll be bringing my friends here in the future and hopefully they'll enjoy it as much as I do. Maybe I'll also come back on a day other than Tuesday to try some of the other menu items.“
“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 :)“
“I found the chorizo to be extremely flavorful and full of spice and a great level of heat. I enjoyed it inside a burrito. You order via a kiosk and get a buzzer, and when your food is ready, the buzzer goes off, and you pick up your food at a separate window. The place has a cozy ambiance and efficient workers. No complaints.“
“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“
“The family atmosphere is very welcoming. The cleanliness of the place is excellent. The food is very varied with a homemade Salvadoran flavor.Unfortunately the air conditioning does not work well.The family atmosphere is very welcoming. The cleanliness of the place is excellent.

“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 “
“one of the best places around new brunswick. not sure why it's 3 stars they have great customer service the chorizo, shrimp, and queso are beyond amazing this place is very good. MUST go to but don't go on a friday night as it will be packed with college kids.“
“Very good food and service. Fresh..... My favorite Mexican food place.Vegetarian options: My wife is vegetarian and loves the food here as well as I do. I go for the meat selection.Parking: The restaurant is in a strip mall with parking spots. It's a cozy place..“
“Great service walking in and during our visit. The food was authentic and super delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Mexican food. The molcajete was my favorite and my husband enjoyed the enchiladas.Parking: Plenty of parking when we went.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, this place is on the first floor and accessible.Dietary restrictions: I can't have dairy products and they were very accommodating.“
“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.“
