Corner triangle shaped restaurant. Really, you can call it a hole in the wall. There are a few chairs and a countertop facing the window. But don't they say not to judge a book by its cover? Well, it applies here!
4 tacos for $14, choice of 2 meats
Chorizo - meh, too smoky. I felt like I was eating charcoal...
Cuerito - soft but still firm, I actually prefer this one over the Los Amigos one
Carne Enchilada - hubby loved it
Buche - this was good, only complaint is the pieces were too big, 1 bite I had to slurp it like eating noodles LOL
Sandia - definitely real watermelon pulverized to juice, no added sugar
The menu online had more choices of meat than the overhead board. Hubby asked if that was all the choices? They said yes. So hubby ordered. After we ate and as he was thanking them for good tacos, he mentioned that he was looking for Seso, Trompa, Ojos y Cachete. They showed him all of those! *sigh. Told hubby next time just ask in case they don't advertise it. I said most Americans and younger Gen would never try these items, so they dont put it front and center. LOL
CASH ONLY
I ordered one portion of chicken tacos for $14.50 which is a bit expensive. The tacos did not taste good. The chicken looked and tasted more like canned tuna which is really weird. It also looks like the meat is stored in liquid behind the counter. The place does not look clean. The guys behind the counter were friendly even if it was hard to communicate with them.
TLDR: Didn't finish my tacos because they tasted like they had gone bad and too expensive for what it is.
A friend recommended for a while. I came with excitement and left disappointed. One thin homemade tortilla. If you're giving me one, at least make it thick. The meat was good. Service was terrible, no idea how to order nor pay, and they just stared at me. They had their weekly pill organizers throughout the place, didn't feel welcoming at all. I'm disappointed, wouldn't go back.
Great, No frills , Straight forward Taco spot. Very popular with the local Mexicans. The carnitas & Suadero tacos are very good . All on handmade tortillas. They come 4 in an order (14$) & they do not skimp on the filling. "Con Todo" comes with cilantro & onions. They also supply some limes & radishes as garnish . Yummy
Good taco spot, straightforward and simple. I liked it a lot.
Amazing authentic tacos al pastor, made with the trompo. Prices are very good and the food is delicious. Would definitely go back.
Tacos here are Mexico City style nothing fancy but that’s not what tacos are made for! There’s plenty of different choices of tacos, but my best choice is tacos al pastor (spicy pork with pineapple) also Cesina tacos ( salty Steak ) they are open very late on the weekends so if you looking a late night meal or just a real Mexico City taco flavor this is the place to go!!!
Best tacos in Nj
small place better than big fancy places. Go for the taste not the insta pictures ????
