My go-to Mexican place to order for take out. I love them so much. They are one of the few taco…read moreplaces that have lengua (tongue) tacos. There may be some of you that read that and think, "Ew. Tongue?" When done right, lengua is so tender and flavorful and Maya Mexican does it right. They also have the best guacamole (it's so fresh and amazing) and tortas. I usually get the birria torta. The soup is divine and possibly a spiritual experience when consuming. Definitely order from here. I've never eaten at the restaurant but maybe I should. I can't imagine how much more amazing it would be if I ate it fresh out of the kitchen!

The taco craving hit us one Sunday so we decided to pick some up on our way home from running…read moreerrands, at around 1:30. There is street parking so if you wait around long enough, you'll be able to get a spot. We had the birria tacos, al pastor, and lengua. We originally wanted to try the oreja and campechanos but they didn't have it that day. These are probably the best quesabirria tacos I've had in the area. I'm normally not a huge fan because it usually ends up being soggy, and I don't really like braised meat, as it tends to be dry. That wasn't the case here. The tacos were still crispy 20 minutes later, and the meat wasn't dry. It was stuffed to the max with beef and cheese. The broth was also very good and not watery like most other places tend to be. The al pastor tacos and lengua tacos were also very good. They're a bit smaller than similar taco spots in the neighborhood but it's quality over quantity here. If they added fresh pineapple to the pastor, it would have brought the taco over the top. I also enjoyed their homemade (sauces). They have a kick to it but be careful with the dark chipotle looking one. One drop of that, and you'll be good. Will definitely be back for some more tacos. Hopefully next time, they'll have the oreja and campechano.

So thankful for the local who recommended this place. I've tried plenty of birria tacos, but these…read moreare the only ones I'll drive 30 minutes for!

The truck was the nicest on this "Food Truck Block". Everything was amazing & with all fresh ingredients. The tacos ( chicken, or beef, or chorizo), Quesobirrias ( cheesy tacos with a beef broth dipping sauce), and Mulitas ( taco ingredients place between 2 tortillas and fried. All 3 were crispy and perfect. Best tacos ever!!! All the add-ons were extremely fresh too: spicy pickled onions, shopped raw onions, cilantro, spicy creamy pepper sauce. So after this "taste test" on a Sunday morning, we decided to hire Viva Birria NJ for a backyard party we were having in May. Part II: The Party Tent...So, they set up a tent in the driveway. Donovan and his assistant were awesome! Totally prepared; super friendly; The food smelled and tasted so good. Everyone loved it. We had tacos & queso birria tacos and also added Mexican Street Corn ( in a cup). They grilled all the fresh corn, seasoned it, shaved it off the cob and had a big hot pot of it to make individual portions in cups. Plenty of fresh queso fresca was there to use as well. Best of all, Donovan gave us everything that wasn't eaten so we had plenty of tacos for days! I highly recommend you visit the food truck in Passaic, or think outside the box for your next house party. It was the easiest part of setting up this outside party. Bravo Viva Birria -NJ!!! ( thank you Steve!)

I called ahead for pick up on a rainy Saturday at around noon. They quoted a 20 minute wait but…read morewhen I got there after 20 minutes, I had to wait half an hour - even though there was only one table dining there, waiting for their food. One poor guy came in just after me to order a chicken soup and was still waiting there after I left - even though I'm sure their soup is already pre-made. I also saw them microwaving something, so that was another red flag. I was wondering why our total was $90, but I just figured maybe the menu prices were outdated? After all, $1 tacos (according to their menu) in this day and age does sound too good to be true. We ordered: 3 al pastor tacos, 1 chicken taco, 1 chicken tinga taco, 1 steak taco, al pastor quesadilla, chicken tinga quesadilla, grilled chicken platter, beef tostada, and quesabirria. It turns out that the quesadillas come with three per order, which wasn't specified because we definitely did not need three of each of these. Had we known, we would have ordered less food. None of it was very good. Everything kind of just tasted the same. A little bland, dry, and chewy. The tortillas in the quesadillas were also dry and chewy. I didn't even bother with the chicken from the grilled chicken plate because it looked really tough. Maybe that's what they were microwaving in the back. Nothing really tastes fresh and just tastes like they make one giant batch at some point and use it throughout the week. I really wanted to like this place and was hoping it would be our new go-to for tacos/Mexican but unfortunately, the entire experience just missed the mark by a long shot.

I was so excited to try this place out because a few fellow Ecuadorians had recommended it to me…read more My brother ordered take out on a Friday afternoon/lunch time. He was able to order easily and the food was given to him in a reasonable amount of time. They have color printed menus with nice photos for each dish. I ordered the bolon verde with chicharrón. When I started eating I noticed there was no chicharrón but I kept going thinking I was encounter it soon. I got halfway through the bolon and found all the chicharrón had been packed in the center of the bolon. On top of that, all of the chicharrón was burnt to a crisp. I laughed because it honestly felt like a prank. I'm not sure how much my brother paid but no price was worth what I received. My brother ordered grilled chicken, rice and beans. My sister had a beef empanada. They liked their items and had no issues. Given that my siblings items were okay I cannot say I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I just wouldn't recommend the bolons from this place. There are other Ecuadorian places in the same neighborhood (walking distance from this place!!) that serve bolons consistently well made. I hope that they are consistent with their other dishes and no one strikes out like I did.

Came here on a Friday afternoon. I was in the mood for Dominican food and I found this place via…read moreGoogle. I checked Yelp and decided to give this place a shot. The place has a bodega vibe to it. Once you enter, you place your order in front of buffet style glass-covered counter. They have the small ($8) or large ($12) option which consists of protein and side. I got the small and got the roasted chicken and rice & bean mix. After, you pay at the counter. There is a a small area where people were eating but I'm not sure if they worked there or if they were customers. So not sure if they have dine in. The portion size is pretty big even for the small order. It was heavy. The chicken was good, needed the hot sauce to give a little more flavor. The rice and bean mix was also pretty good. Overall, I had a good meal and for the price and amount of food you get, it was definitely good value. I will be back to try out the Pernil. If you're in the mood for Dominican food and are hungry, I recommend this place. * Very Fairly priced * Street parking * Takeout
