“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!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Don't get me started on this resturaunt. If I die of a heart attack, it WILL be because I eat too much food here. And I'd die HAPPY. This resturaunt is exquisite and potentially some of the best Mexican food in the county. First, you can get Mexican Coke. Second, the seasoning they use might as well be sold by it's own. I've tried near everything on the menu and when somebody asks me what to get, I'd say I don't know. Because everything is great. The owner is incredibly kind. Larga vida a los tacos es vida!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

This establishment stands out as the premier destination for authentic Mexican cuisine in New Jersey. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a warm and vibrant atmosphere that reflects the heart of Mexican hospitality. The food is consistently outstanding—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and true to tradition.

What truly elevates the experience, however, is the impeccable service. From the owners to every member of the staff, the team demonstrates genuine care, professionalism, and a passion for creating memorable dining moments. A shining example of excellence in both cuisine and customer 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!“

“Had a great experience at the bar thanks to Anderson! He was super friendly, professional, and made some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while. He paid attention to every detail, made sure everyone felt welcome, and kept the energy up with his great attitude. The service was quick, the drinks were perfectly mixed, and the overall vibe was spot on. Anderson really made the night enjoyable—definitely coming back soon!“

SOOOO good! fried rice ball??? what!? the grilled chicken is completely magical. the toppings and the sweet chili sauce is just.... I can't even. (Middletown DE location!)“

“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!

“Si busca el sabor del pueblo es aka recomiendo el caldo de marisco el mole y todo lo de más con pruébalo tu mismo“

“First time here ,so glad We went. From the moment you walk in the door We were greeted. The guy in the blue shirt didn't get his name must be the manager or maybe the owner Had such enthusiasm I told him I've never been here before and he went through everything with me even though he had A-line of customers.. The food was absolutely amazing I Had the chicken and shrimp burrito and my husband had the Steak and shrimp burrito. We also ordered the curly fries with Bacon and queso And for dessert we ordered Fried oreos with powdered so good we ordered a second batch.. Would definitely Recommend this location . Might take my mom there today That's how good the food was and the whole experience..“

“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.“

“As a Hispanic person in a predominantly white town like Westwood, the rate on this store does not match their true authenticity. This is what a true Mexican restaurant is like and the ambience matches that as well. The food is incredible and despite its look I promise you this is as close as you can get to a perfect taco. I recommend a classic bistec taco and a tall glass bottle of coke. This is extremely refreshing to feel and see my culture up close and feel close to home even here in Jersey. Again I’ve been eating tacos my ENTIRE life and can confirm this place deserves 5 stars. You don’t need an extremely fancy set up or overpriced anything to make the food taste better. This is overall the one of the best Mexican restaurants in the county.“

“Great food, friendly staff. I had the super nachos, they were.“

“I stopped by Taqueria the other week for their grand opening, and I think I've found a new favorite taco spot. The place is vibrantly decorated, super clean, and the music was on point.
Anthony, the manager, walked me through some of the menu options even though there were digital kiosks available—that’s rare these days, so it was nice. The steak was cooked so perfectly in my tacos and burrito box, I was back for more within the week!
Anthony mentioned I should try the chicken next time, so that's definitely my next order. Will recommend to friends!“

“great food great service can't wait to go back“
