    Chorizo/Spicy Pork Tacos
    Jenn L.

    Had to take my COVID vaccine around the area and found this little store nearby. Looks like a family-owned local business that's a bit hard to find but totally worth the visit if you're in the area. We got the Chorizo tacos and Chorizo Tortas. We were the only people that sat down and ate there (they only have 2-3 small tables) and had to wait a bit for the food to come out. The mom served our food nicely hot and fresh with some additional sauces on the side which was very considerate. The tacos filled me up real quick and we had to take the leftover torta back home. 10/10 worth the visit

    So so so good and authentic. The lady working behind is so sweet and the food is really incredible. Exactly what i was looking for.

    The owners are very nice. The food takes a while but it is worth it! I would definitely come back. Parking was hard to find because it is street parking. I recommend saying hi and thank you in Spanish

    Aldys in Union City, NJ

    Very nondescript kind of place... Strictly a Yelp search cause I had a hankering for Mexican food. Went with the 3 taco special for $7.00. One each of chicken, beef and pork served up with what the owner said was a mild sauce. Could only wonder what the hot sauce would have been like, as this opened up my sinuses. Menu is strictly a blackboard. Aldys has only 3 tables plus a couple of stools by the front counter and that's it. Gotta admit that the food was pretty darn good. Definitely not the easiest place to find. Probably walked by this place 2 or 3 times before I realized where it was. No sign is out front, just the address. This is not a chain. Nice little hole in a wall establishment in Union City. Would like to explore the menu a little bit further. As these places are somewhat popular in the vicinity.

    We went inside as we passed by and it smelled really good we love to support the locals and it's a small hole in the wall but totally worth it. Doesn't look fancy and the menu is small but TOTALLY WORTH IT! My fiancé got tacos de carne and I got the burrito de chorizo. Soooooo good!!!

    This is about my 5th time here and realized this woman, Aldy deserves way more recognition! Best authentic Mexican food I've had. It's a tiny mom and pop shop making a handful of delicious Mexican dishes! It seems that Aldy runs the place herself. (Good for her!) She takes the order, cooks the food, and rings you up. The food is always so fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend the steak torta and chorizo quesadilla. Try her spicy green sauce!

    Best tacos in town !

    Always fresh and great prices! The lady makes a great soup that will cure a bad hangover!

    The neighborhood is kind of a foodie desert, but this tiny little spot redeems it slightly! Unassuming hole in the wall, grab and go kind of place. We've tried pretty much everything on the menu (Mexican eats) and the biztec torta (steak sandwich) is our favorite!

    yo.. this little hole in the wall mexican restaurant is the REAL THING. The place is not the nicest of interiors, no thrills or frills., but THIS IS TRUE AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD. I will definitely come back again and YOU should try it for yourself.

    Torta de res
    Eli O.

    This is the most authentic Mexican spot in union city. The lady who runs it works here 7 days a week. Got no more than 3 tables in it but the food is Bomb!!! I recommend the "Torta de Res" this hole in the wall spot is authentic as it gets for Mexican food in union city. Everything is A1

We ordered: Borracho Tacos (fish) $22 Esquites Gratinee (corn) $10 Truffle Ribeye Burrito $27 Black Chili Crunch Guacamole $14 The borracho tacos aka fish tacos were very small and disappointing. They are very overpriced for what we received. One small piece of fish per little taco shell. Flavor was ok. Are they worth $22? Absolutely not. We will not be reordering these. The Esquites Gratinee corn side dish was bigger than the guacamole portion and flavorful per my boyfriend. I don't eat corn so I didn't have any. My boyfriend really liked it. Said it's unique and 10/10. He would get this again. The truffle ribeye burrito is delicious. Though I didn't get any truffle flavor? If it was there, it's minimal. I didn't taste it at all. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and it's a good portion of meat. Tender and flavorful. No chewiness. Sauce on top is amazing. Rice and beans cooked perfect. Would order this again. It's worth it. Even without truffle flavor. Great portion size too. The black chili crunch guacamole is the star of the show. While it's a small portion, it's very flavorful. Love the garlic. Love the crunch. Fresh avocados. This is worth it. We would definitely order it again. Highly recommend the guac. Small but mighty haha.

That occasion had been a few years ago and had involved an insanely strong margarita, an experience that I would not want to relive. However, my friend suggested grabbing dinner there recently, and since it was a nice evening and their outdoor dining was right on the main thoroughfare of Washington Street, I agreed to at least go to enjoy their excellent people watching. I certainly vowed to skip the cocktails, but was willing to give their food another chance. We started with crisp, lightly-salty tortilla chips and a rich, bold salsa. I then ordered Vegetable Fajitas, which included green and red bell peppers, zucchini, and onions. The peppers had been sliced so thin that they were barely noticeable and made hardly any flavor impact. The sizzling platter was also about 85% onions, of which I was not a fan, so I sent back most of them in the end. The whole thing was also rather greasy. The flour tortillas were delicious and not artificial tasting like most. The DIY platter was also served with a side plate of refreshing sour cream, well-seasoned guacamole, sliced jalapenos, and fresh pico de gallo. I wished the portions of these condiments were larger, though, and the guacamole, in particular. The staff was so friendly, allowing us to linger at the table after we paid and even refilling our water during that time. They all provided service with a smile, which also helped ease any frustration a diner might have about the fact that they apply an automatic tip of 20% to the check for any party size. While I still had a decent experience at East LA, it was much better than I had remembered, and I would be willing to return.

This was the second visit where the horchata was mildly sour and watered down -- not the usual sweet and yummy horchata it's supposed to be. My husband mentioned this to one of the male employees and the employee said "that's normal because they make it fresh everyday" --it definitely did not taste fresh. The guava basil was a great alternative. The nachos were tasty but we all agreed the chips were a bit oily this time, and lacking in volume as well; we always have left over chips after finishing our meals but this time we didn't. My al pastor & brussel sprouts tacos were room temp -- not fresh and hot as usual. My husband said his carne asada burrito had big chunks of meats being the meat was poorly cut and was also room temperature. It's as if they batch cooked everything to prep it as it was ordered...it may be faster but quality goes down immensely. What usually takes about 45 min from ordering, waiting for FRESH food, and eating, our visit was literally 15 minutes. We ordered, waited about 5 min for the food (not normal) & ate all in 15 min. While that may be great for someone people in a rush, we certainly weren't and were expecting fresher food and drinks. There was great friendly service from a woman with beautiful short coily curly hair which was a plus!

The outside has always made me walk past, but I finally decided to try it tonight as I've gotten sick of Chipotle. Plus it's always a good feeling to support our local businesses. While I wouldn't call this spot a "hidden gem" of Hoboken by any stretch, I did thoroughly enjoy my burrito. I got a regular grilled chicken burrito and everything that came with it. Upon my first bite it was apparent that the chicken was more like hibachi chicken than grilled chicken (not a complaint but not what was advertised). If you try it you'll know exactly what I mean. No complaints about anything else. They could have made more of an effort in evenly distributing the contents of the burrito but thats just me being picky. If it means anything to whoever may be reading this...the burrito felt like it weighed 5 pounds and I found myself eating the entire thing. So why 3/5 stars? This burrito cost me $16! While the ingredients were fresh and the portion was huge, it's hard to justify one burrito at almost 20 bucks. Complain about Chipotle's portions all u want, but my bowl there only costs me like $12. I'd definitely go back again at some point, but it just didn't taste good ENOUGH to justify the price tag. Tacoria has a better burrito (imo) and is a few bucks cheaper. Still, worth a try for sure.
