“😍 I Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“Very delicious food. Stopped by in the evening looking for a quick bite. I ordered the shrimp tacos and the al pastor which are my two favorite types of tacos. Both tasted really great, however the al pastor had a much better flavor overall.
I also tried the chips and salsa. Chips tasted like they are fried in house (in a good way) I didn't love the salsa too much. The texture and flavor was a little off for me. Maybe there are beans blended in? Not worth docking a star for this because overall I really enjoyed my meal and will be back again.
Atmosphere is very nice as well. The decor is welcoming and the staff was really friendly as well.“

Friendly greeting when we walked in, quick table service and the food is fresh and very flavorful! We each had Quesadilla's de Carne Asada (Steak) - and the serving sizes were big, we each only ate half and too the rest home.

We will most definitely be back soon!“

“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.“

“First time checking out Tortas Lokas in Fairfield and my husband and I are both happy to have found this spot! The Tortas and Flan were amazing. A big thank you to our server Marilin and chef Pancho for making this a great experience. We will definitely be back 🙏🏽“

“Nae was great she was professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Her attention to detail and genuine care for customers truly stood out. Highly recommend asking for Nae if you want outstanding service. Give that girl a raise!“

“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“

“Drinks and music is great“

“The food was fantastic. The burrito, nachos, and kids meal have great value for your money. Along with the kids meal came chips. Although very crispy and fresh, they had a little bit too much salt. Apart from that, everything was fantastic from the service to the place it self. Highly recommend.“

“Everything here is SO FRESH. I came here with my family of 5 and all of our dishes were extraordinary. Everything came out piping hot and very delicious. We ordered the guacamole, shrimp with garlic sauce, mixed fajitas, chicken burritos and breaded chicken and breaded fish filet. The hot, fresh churros with chocolate sauce at the end were absolutely melt-in-your-mouth divine. We would definitely come here again. 5 stars!“

“I live in the area and love trying out local restaurants, Taquerua La Casita did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, wel lit and busy. Its a small place, but small places tend to be masters of their craft. I got two orders of tacos, tacos al pastor and tacos de costilla (recommended by the employee working he counter). Both were great, fresh and bold flavors. The pastor came with a slice of pineapple on top which was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the Verde sauce that came with the order. I will definitely return in the future. Thanks for the awesome food. I want to try every item on the menu 🙂“

“Genesis recommended the ‘tacos placeros’ to me, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were incredible, and the place itself is beautiful. We’re on vacation and stumbled upon Tortas Lokas Elizabeth¡what a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and Karen went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Great food, amazing service, and a cozy vibe.
I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an authentic and welcoming experience!
Thank you guys!👍🏻“

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“Was our first time. The gentleman ran out to help my boyfriend in a wheelchair to get in. The food was delicious. We definitely will be back and will tell some friends“

“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.“

“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!“

“I didn’t know what authentic Mexican food was until I came here. This is hands down the most delicious Mexican food I have ever tried. Carlos, the son of the chef, provided outstanding service and was extremely professional as a server. I love this restaurant!“

“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).“

“Great food and prices.... the servers are excellent and attentive. I been there at least 10 times and it never dissapoint. I highly recommend it“

“Delicious for eating in or taking out. I prefer to eat at this beautiful restaurant if I have the time. As I vegetarian I appreciate the delicious veggie entrees, and the complementary chips and salsa are wonderful!“

“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.“

“I went to the up town one yesterday for happy hour. Emilio was great welcome to me right away. Let me know about the happy hour specials. Then I spoke with the owner. I congratulated her on the success of her business. Her husband and her opened this restaurant, and the one on 412 Broadway after many years of working at Hendricksons as a cook. It’s nice to see hard hard-working people become successful n keep their business local. Very inviting and friendly place. Great margaritas. Great ppl:) I also had the chorizo queso. It was delicious. But everything on the menu us. All in all had a nice experience:)“

“The host n waitress were great!“

“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Maize Cocina & Cocktails in Westfield, NJ — and let me tell you, if you love Mexican food and crave an elevated dining experience, this is the spot! 🌮✨

Everything was incredible, but my favorites were the maize croquettes, crabmeat tostadas, and the whole fish adobo — absolutely delicious. They’ve also added some exciting new dishes like the Tamarind Sticky Duck Breast and Pork Chop Amarillo that you’ll definitely want to try.

If you’re planning a visit, go between Thursday and Sunday — those are their action days! Trust me, if you’re looking for a great vibe and even better food, Maize is the place to be. 🍹🔥“

“los tacos las sopas y todo lo bueno que tiene“

“La comida tiene un sabor auténtico y las aguas frescas si que son frescas. Encantada con el agua de Jamaica y ni hablar del sabor de Horchata. Las quesadillas de birria 😋 perfectas !!! Y la hospitalidad ni de que hablar 💐🌺❤️💐“

“Sooo good! Better than chipotle and qdoba. It is around the same price as the other restraints mentioned. Very flavorful meat. Honestly, I was very surprised of how good this was. They gave good portions as well. The only negative thing is that it took them so long to make the order and we were like the only people there… but other than that I loved it. I wish they open a location closer to me!!“

“Good place to go great food“

“Phenomenal Tacos! I bet everything else is equally delicious but I love these tacos!!“
