I visited this restaurant and honestly had an excellent experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and very clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive the entire time, always making sure we had everything we needed. The food arrived quickly and tasted amazing — you could tell the ingredients were fresh and prepared with care. Every dish had great flavor and a beautiful presentation. The portions are generous, and the price is absolutely worth the quality you get.
I really liked the calm and comfortable vibe of the place, perfect for going with family, friends, or even for a date. It’s clear they truly care about customer service because they make you feel appreciated and well taken care of. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and a good time. It’s one of those places that leaves you wanting to return.

The food is not Mexican. A simple dish of enchiladas was terrible as well as the rice. Live and learn. I really wanted my money back but was too lazy to go back out in the cold.

– Shrimp Tacos were okay. No authentic flavor popped & and shrimp were a bit overcooked. Guacamole was good.
– Tostads with shrimp didn’t have much flavor. Squirt of lime (from tacos) made it work.
– Fresh made drinks were super good! Jamaica & Tamarind

As any taco enthusiast knows, exceptional tortillas are the foundation of a great taco experience – they should be fresh, pliable, and flavorful enough to complement the fillings without falling apart. Unfortunately, Taqueria El Patron falls short in this crucial area.
During my recent visit, I was disappointed to find that the tortillas lacked the freshness and texture I’d expect from an authentic taqueria. They seemed pre-made and had a somewhat stale quality that detracted from an otherwise decent filling selection. The tortillas were also prone to breaking, making the tacos difficult to eat and less enjoyable overall.
I genuinely wanted to love this place – supporting local, family-owned businesses is important to me, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The meat fillings showed promise with good seasoning. However, when the foundation of your signature dish isn’t up to par, it significantly impacts the entire dining experience.
Investing in fresh, high-quality tortillas (ideally made in-house) would make a world of difference. With that improvement, this local gem could easily earn the higher rating I was hoping to give. Until then, I’d rate this as an average experience that has potential but needs refinement in the basics.

I had tacos de lengua here yesterday and my boyfriend had carnitas it was good . Equal portions of tacos . A lot of meat a lot of pico and a lot of guacamole I loved it! Also give you chips and prepare the guacamole in front of you. Attention was great. And they gave you four instead of 3 tacos . In total 10/10 place would come here again

We moved from Texas to New Jersey recently, and this was our first time trying tacos in New Jersey. We ordered carne asade, al pastor, and chorizo tacos. The food was amazing, the atmosphere inside was amazing, and the service was great. We will definitely be back to try the tortas and fajitas.

Wow, what a legit Mexican and family atmosphere, under new ownership I was eating alone and they made guacamole on the table. Im usually not a big fan of tacos lately because all the other places the taste is kind of boring. This place the al pastor is deliciously seasoned along with the perfect amount of vegetables. Very highly recommend.
