We got the al pastor and lengue tacos. This al pastor did not come with pineapples, but the meat was juicy regardless. The lengue tacos were on the drier side but still had a nice chew and were flavored ok. Not the best tacos I've had (I'd say Cali does them better and cheaper), but still a good option in northwest Jersey!

My husband and I visited this place for the first time the other night. We ordered their Steak and pulled (fried) pork tacos. The steak came in an order of 4 tacos for $11.50 and the pulled pork came in an order of 5 for $11.50. Coming out of the kitchen are just the flour tortillas with the meats on them. They have a toppings bar for you to add as many toppings and sauces you'd like. We enjoyed our tacos, although my husband felt it was a bit too oily. We also ordered mango milkshakes. They were nothing special. Better to stick with the Jarritos sodas next time. When the check came, they had 2 different totals listed: cash or credit. They pretty much put it on the customer to pay for the merchant credit fee. It wasn't as if we got a discount for using cash, it was how much everything costs anyway. Wait staff was friendly. It did take some time to get our check, probably because it was busy on a Saturday night.

Large servings -- and, be advised: heavy hand on the cilantro, although I found it just fine. Food was excellent. Our waiter is from the Mexican state of Veracruz, and he was really friendly and nice. Great value for the money. Laura has been there before. I know I'll go back. Highly recommended.

My grilled chicken tacos were bland and nearly overcooked, with no juiciness to moderate the raw white onions they were served with. My guac was chunky, served cold, and lacked aromatics, textures, and even salt. The chips I got were hard and thick; difficult to crunch on. All in all I felt this location of La Bamba was inferior to its cousin in Boonton.

A few days ago The Food Truck Operator for Zoelily had posted a video of one of his regular customers going off on a verbal assault towards him after a dispute of how many "free" hot sauce containers should be "free" Apparently the customer bought 2 Empanadas so he received 2 "free" hot sauces, but when he wanted more than 2 that's when Zoelily told him "I will have to charge you for the extras" and that's when it seems the customer replied with a $100 bill which our Empanada Truck Operator couldn't make change for sending the customer into a derogatory filled rant which Zoelily captured on video and posted on his Facebook account. Now, unfortunately due to the Covid-19 related revenue losses the Empanada Mobile had been behind on It's payments and the bank had repossessed the Truck after learning of it's whereabouts from the posted video which has made it's way to the local TV News. My understanding is that a GoFundMe account is presently in the works to bring back the beloved Empanada Mobile. I'll keep You Posted!!

The term authentic is bandied about so casually that it loses its meaning: merely claiming to be…read moreauthentic doesn't make it so, nor is making guacamole proof. What matters is the food, and the food in El Mejicano is authentically superb. On Monday 11/10/25 I had lunch at El Mejicano, and I was deeply impressed by its food. Authentic? I've been to Mexico four times, each time to a different state, and each state has its own food. Authenticity comes from the person who cooks the food, and the food here is fantastic. I was served chips and salsa, which were quite good: the chips thick, the salsa a bit spicy and flavorful. I've had chips and salsa many other times, and the ones here were quite good. Then I ordered pozole. I had pozole in Mexico twice, once in Jalisco, once in Oaxaca: those two were different from one another (authentic?) Very good, that they were. This pozole in El Mejicano was delicious, pork in a red sauce, chockfull of hominy and pork pieces, with complex flavors. Not spicy, but genuinely tasteful. I couldn't finish it (and had it for lunch the next day). Adding to my delight, my lunch included two tostadas; I added bits of salsa because that's how I like them. Service was attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was delightful: a modern eclectic soundtrack added a layer of pleasure. El Mejicano is a gem, and I intend to eat there again. I highly recommend it.
