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

“Best tacos ever . I’ve been a client since the Sombrero truck on Market St in between Checkers and post office . Then they moved to union blvd . I’ve taken my immediate family ,taken friends , when my outer states visitors come is the first place they get taken to also!! Really everything is made fresh and there’s not one dish I can pick over another !! Can’t wait to get back from Puerto Rico to get some real tacos !!! Pa alante !!!“

“Service: Gustavo man, Gustavo. This Brother gave us top tier service, Masha Allah. He was extremely patient as I was really undecided on what to order since it was authentic Mexican and he really kept our interests in mind. I kept calling him over and over again but he kept smiling and you can tell he was genuinely understanding. He greeted us with Salaam and was so courteous through our whole time there. He also checked in on us to make sure things were going good. Great customer service is something that I never overlook and this customer service I received was one of the best.

Food: And the food was so good. It came out one by one so we had stuff to eat from the moment we sat down with the tortilla chips. Had all of our food within 10 min or so which was great. We had Birria tacos, steak bowl, the special quesadilla (forgot the name as it's in Spanish but it had maiz in the name), and tortilla chips. Everything was delicious and legitimately tasted like an authentic foreign cuisine. It is not your average Mexican bowl place. Heavy props to the chef for the amazing flavors and textures of the food!

Halal: I mostly eat at HFSAA or HMS Halal certified locations. So considering they were also certified is always my first step to going to any restaurant. I wouldn't have even come if they weren't certified.

Remarks: All in all, food and service was great and I definitely recommend others to give it a try!“

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 stopped in for the first time today. The restaurant was so neat and clean. The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered shrimp and cheese empanadas, shrimp tacos, birria wings and churros. It was a lot of food but we were really excited to try this restaurant. A true hidden gem!“

“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.“

“Prince has got me hooked on their Loaded Nachos, they are hands down the best Taqueria in the area. The freshly made tortilla chips stay crispy all the way through.

The Short Rib Birria and Shrimp tacos are outstanding. Those pics didn't make it, so I'll make sure to post those for y'all to see next time. For now, check out them nachos. 😋😋😋😋😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Really good Mexican restaurant. Possibly the best I’ve had in the area. The chicken quesadilla was packed with flavor, made with quality ingredients, and very filling. The homemade chips and guacamole were delicious and freshly made.

“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.“

“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“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“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!“

“From the moment we walked in, the service at Dulce Patria was incredible. We were warmly welcomed right away, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful with plenty of great spots for photos. Our server, Natasha, was amazing and took the time to explain all their promotions, including a great happy hour menu. We tried the Tussi Roll, Dominican Power, and Cuban Tempora sushi rolls. Each one was full of flavor, and I was honestly impressed by how good they were. My friend ordered the Bad Bunny drink and the Beso de Coco. She enjoyed both, but the coconut one was her favorite and she definitely recommends it for coconut lovers. Parking isn’t the greatest in the area, but this place is absolutely worth the effort to find a spot. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back with more friends.“

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

“Just ordered from there for the first time today, I must say delivery was on point and the food was delicious will definitely order again!!! Great place,awesome food!!!“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“Pickup or dine in. EVERYTHING is delicious! Fantastic family place.“

“All I have to say is wow!! I can’t remember the last time I had such good tacos in the area! I truly devoured my chicken and carnitas tacos. Very authentic and maybe the chef during the day is extra good too because I definitely didn’t think it was as good almost 1.5 years ago in the evening when I tried. I have spent a good amount of time in Union City so I know good Mexican food when I see it. This is easily going to be a weekly staple for me going forward. Definitely take the time to sit in and eat!“

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos!!!“
