“We ordered pizza on Easter Sunday for dinner. The food tasted really good and the employees were super nice 👍🏼 I would highly recommend this restaurant!“

“This small business is just wonderful. The food is delicious, the bagels and sandwiches are so fresh and tasty and the bagels are large. I purchased here a few times via the TGTG app and purchased bagels and their delicious home made assorted flavor cream cheeses. Additionally, the owner Ernesto and his wife are so genuine, customer service focused and take pride in the products/service they provide to their clients and community. I definitely recommend this bagel shop and more as one of the BEST in NJ and I drive 7 miles from Maywood,NJ to support them while purchasing their outstanding products!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Fortaleza, and a huge part of that was thanks to Karen, our server. She was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect, and her friendly, accommodating nature made us feel so welcomed. Karen anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and her service was flawless. It’s clear she truly cares about her guests’ experience. I highly recommend dining here and hope to be served by her again! Visit Karen!!! At Fortaleza Garfield NJ“

“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.“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Food!

We recently discovered this amazing little family-owned Mexican restaurant, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our new favorite spot. The restaurant may look unassuming from the outside—definitely a "hole in the wall" type of place—but don’t let that fool you! The warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in.

The food here is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we ordered, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the crispy, flavorful flautas, and even the Mexican corn, was bursting with authentic flavors. Each dish tasted homemade and packed with fresh ingredients, giving us a true taste of Mexico.

We were so impressed with our first visit that we’ve already been back for seconds! If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food served by friendly people in a cozy setting, look no further. This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by all food lovers. Highly recommend!“

“Ordered via uber eats tonight . I've wanted to try for awhile (since I did a delivery for Feed the Frontlines) and I wasn't disappointed! We shared several items and they were all yummy! I will definitely order again.“

“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!!“

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

“A lot of thought and time went into designing this beautiful, spacious interior, including textured wall surfaces and designer lighting. Perfect for parties and couples alike, and kid froendly during the day with fancy mocktails. Take pride in hand crafted cocktails with freshly squeezed lime and yes they really look like the photo. Accommodating of allergies. Lots of flavor and great presentation“

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

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved it! Locations is perfect, plenty of free parking, great service and food is absolutely delicious!

I always like to try the new places and this one is absolutely amazing! Newly renovated building, parking lot is big, the service was excellent, the menu had great food choices and the prices are very reasonable, the food comes out fast and absolutely delicious and big portions! We all loved it and I highly recommend it!

Vegetarian options: They can make almost anything on the menu vegetarian!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My friend Mari invited to me to eat a Mexican food, she is from Ecuador, I ‘ am from México , I really enjoyed it! I really recommend to anyone because it is the authentic Mexican food? the owners are so friendly ?“

“Great family restaurant and member of the business community in Wayne.“

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

“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! 🥑😍“

“I'm blown away by this spot. I stumbled on it by what I thought was an accident, except now I say it was fate. I normally have to travel a good distance for excellent tacos but not any more. The food is fantastic and full of flavor. Everyone is so nice there too. This is my new go-to spot.“

“La comida deliciosa , servicio excelente muy limpio muy buen servicio 💯 recomendado !!😊😊“

“I’ve been to this location almost everyday to get lunch and it’s always great and friendly service from all the staff members. I order online and my order is always ready to go on time with no issues. My food is also always made correctly and not a single mistake made at the time of writing this. Raoul is always super helpful and welcoming.“

“I used to go to the one in Middletown, NY when I was a kid. The inside decor is fun 🤩 with a nod to theme restaurants of the past. I very much enjoyed my entree with a jalapeño sauce and a white sauce, the margarita was a bit sweet, the guacamole 🥑 appetizer was excellent and freshly made. We will definitely go back to with our kids. Prices were fairly high from $25 to $35 per entree, but I understand in 2023 with inflation at a time highs, everything has increased in price. Overall, a fun and authentic restaurant which is oriented to celebrations.“

“Delicious food and great service 😊“

“Pro: The staff is very friendly and attentive, the presentation of the food exceeded my expectations, good music and atmosphere and good quality alcohol. It was a reservation for a birthday, they put out balloons and cake.

Con: the place is not very big, it took a long time to bring the drinks, it was difficult to find parking and the brunch offer on Saturdays only includes drinks.“

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

“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“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“muy buena comida y buen servicio“

“the best mexican food. exelent service!!!!“

“Margaritas are the best. Beef burritos are great. Chips and salsa top notch“

“Absolutely the best Tacos, Tortas, Nachos, Papas Locas, And everything they cook and prepare is great!!! This is my go to spot in Rockland County for Tacos!! Hands down the best, their Sauce is 🔥🔥🔥. This is a taqueria, not a restaurant, a taqueria!!! Straight street food! Mexican!

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos!!!“

“The taco craving hit us one Sunday so we decided to pick some up on our way home from running errands, at around 1:30. There is street parking so if you wait around long enough, you’ll be able to get a spot. We had the birria tacos, al pastor, and lengua. We originally wanted to try the oreja and campechanos but they didn’t have it that day. These are probably the best quesabirria tacos I’ve had in the area. I’m normally not a huge fan because it usually ends up being soggy, and I don’t really like braised meat, as it tends to be dry. That wasn’t the case here. The tacos were still crispy 20 minutes later, and the meat wasn’t dry. It was stuffed to the max with beef and cheese. The broth was also very good and not watery like most other places tend to be. The al pastor tacos and lengua tacos were also very good. They’re a bit smaller than similar taco spots in the neighborhood but it’s quality over quantity here. If they added fresh pineapple to the pastor, it would have brought the taco over the top. I also enjoyed their homemade (sauces). They have a kick to it but be careful with the dark chipotle looking one. One drop of that, and you’ll be good.Will definitely be back for some more tacos. Hopefully next time, they’ll have the oreja and campechano.“

“The food was great. A very good , healthy choice for a family meal. This was a delivery via Uber Eats. The Delivery was poor. The Estimated arrival time changed multiple times so our food arrived 20-25 minutes later than originally scheduled. I cannot rate the atmosphere because it was delivered.
I would highly recommend Moe’s to everyone.

Dietary restrictions: Their salads have always been a great choice. You can order with or without dressing and would not affect the taste. You have several choices for proteins which you can get in combinations as well.“

“Great food, excellent customer service. Cant complain when you get guac and queso for free :)“

“This is without a doubt the best authentic Mexican restaurant In the area. Friendly staff, delicious food made fresh on premises. I have tried almost the entire menu and it's always beyond my expectations. From Tacos, soups, guacamole, diner dishes, tamales to seafood they have it all without mentioning the molcajete dish!!! Ask for Diana the best waitress and German the chef will put the secret touch to your dishes so you can experience the greatest Mexican flavor ever!!!! They even do breakfast. ????“

“Food was great. Tacos could have more filling but tasted good for what it was. Chicken fajitas were good and the sauce for the shrimp a la diabra was amazing.
Service was a bit inattentive.
The tables and chairs were filthy. I had to use at least 5 wipes to wash down the high chair, each wipe was BLack with filth.“

“I was visiting the area for a youth sports event. Looked up close options for food. This place was fantastic. Cute window drawings and the inside is beautiful with amazing paintings. Clean! And the food... Fresh salsa, guac and chips were delicious and everything was spot on. When I come back to the area I will be back to try something new“

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

“Tried New Brunswick location today for the first time after hearing raving reviews from my co-workers. I am very impressed! I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!“

“I grabbed some tacos one Saturday morning after my kid's dance class. I placed the order online before the place opened to pick up about 10 minutes after they opened (11:10am). The website oeganized the pick up times. We did need a wait a little to pick up the food. The tacos were excellent. I will definitely order take out again.“
