Worst first experience ever.
It’s in the middle of winter- the AC is on.
For a kids meal, nachos and 3 tacos it was $43!
They said the kids meal included a drink and she specifically said Jarritos – nope charged $1.50 more for it.
the Nachos were edible but so disgustingly sloppy.
I told them I was allergic to cilantro and they Loaded my tacos with cilantro so I had to wait while everyone else ate their food so it didn’t get cold.
The meat in the kids meal roll ups was hard and dry!
Cheese was just thrown on the outside- ice cold not even melted.
My tacos didn’t taste like birria at all.
The consommé dip was so watered down and just loaded with raw onions.
overall horrible experience.
definitely not worth $43- we could have been nice and warm inside taco bell and gotten such better quality and tastier food for a quarter of the price.
These 5 star reviews have to be BOT reviews!

Wow, so excited to have discovered this spot today. I’ve been trying to find my new go-to Mexican restaurant since moving to the area in June and I’m so thrilled to have finally found it! By far the best birria tacos I’ve had!! Carnitas were superb, the guac was so fresh and I appreciate the tasty sauces they had at the salsa bar, delicious. I’m your new regular!

New to the town, trying out this Mexican taco place, ordered the al pastor burrito bowl, the lady forgot my pineapple if i don’t remind her!!! Looked at grill pork in the bowl….all burned, I have to pick out the burned pieces from every single bite! My husband didnt like his carne asada taco either, the meat so dried! Definitely not a return customer for sure! —please dont make it sound like i never had mexican food before! No body like to burned charcoal pork!

Front of the bar was super attentive. Great to have a local taco spot!!! Was so needed and the food was delicious, ample menus, plus different sauces to choose from!! Quesadilla I ordered was great size, good for 2 people!!! Pay them a visit, it will be well worth it!!

Tacos were delicious. Haven’t had birria tacos like this since last time I was in Cali! Guacamole and freshly made chips excellent. A homemade salsa bar was an added bonus.

Hard pass on this . Unfortunately nothing we ordered was flavorful. We left so disappointed. Came here hoping it would be somewhat similar to Los Tacos in NYC and it failed on all levels.
We came specifically for the birria tacos with consome . The beef was so bland. The consome helped a little. But man it was so underwhelming.
We went in at opening (11:30am) and they had put out days old Pico de gallo. You’d expect there to be fresh pico during opening hours.
The worst of the worst was the chicken Taquitos, omg we literally couldn’t force ourselves to eat it. The chicken was not shredded it was in one giant piece throughout the Taquito and was so so dry, and flavorless . We had one taquito and couldn’t finish the rest. So so bad.
We also ordered the loaded nachos w steak. I could count the tiny dry pieces of steak and it was under seasoned , a sad attempt at nachos. The Mexican street corn was actually quite good, the best thing I ate their but I wouldn’t go back because everything was dry and flavorless.
I really had high hopes for this place and I after trying I will never recommend It unless they actually SEASON their meats and work on making the meat more tender.
After having Los tacos and visiting authentic Mexican taquerias in the west this is a 2/5 . I hope they use this feedback to improve. They have all the tools to improve the food

We eat here at least once a month. TBH they do everything so well that we’ve stopped seeking out other Mexican food places in the area. It’s just easier to keep coming back here. Also, you cannot beat the prices. The chips are the best and good even a few days after you order if you don’t eat them all at once.

Our family enjoyed this place as we wanted to check-out the newer food establishments in the area. There is a parking lot available. Upon entering, the place is spacious and has a few tables for indoor dining to the right. I personally liked the colorful tiles on the tables.
You can order using the kiosk to your left, or head straight up to the cashier.
We ordered the chicken quesadilla, shrimp burrito, shrimp taco, birria taco, and carnita taco. They were all freshly made, savory, juicy, and delicious. There is also a salad bar that has additional condiments in case you wanted. The prices were also reasonable.
I’d recommend this place if you’re nearby.

Best tacos to go in the North NJ area. Al pastor and chicken tacos are incredible, and they always do specials. If you’re nearby you got to try this place.and price is good as well.
