I really wanted to like this place because of the good reviews it has, but I do want to be honest and share my experience. Service was okay. We waited over 30 minutes after ordering for our food. I ordered tacos al pastor, which I thought were delicious, but as you can kind of see on the red tray where the food came on, it was very greasy. Lime also didn't have any juice, and small avocado pieces that came with the nachos we also ordered were not ripe at all. They were hard and chewy :(. I also very, very much love green salsa, but by the time I was finishing up pouring it all over my last taco, I found hair. I understand these things happen + the avocado/lime may not necessarily be the restaurant's fault as maybe it isn't the right season for them, and I truly wanted to get over it, but I'd truly prefer no hair at all in my food. Not the best experience. I did end up finishing my tacos because I was starving, but my partner left more than half the nachos he ordered. I do wish the restaurant the best as the ambiance was nice and I'm sure this doesn't happen all the time, but definitely could use some work as it's little things that can make a difference. :( Thank you anyways!!! read more

I was in the area and had a rumbling in my stomach so I figure let's try something new! A quick search and I found myself in front of a small Mexican restaurant. This is more of a take out spot. There were two tables inside and another 2-3 outside. I ordered to go and the food was cold by the time I sat down to eat (10 minutes). My order consisted of 4 soft tacos ( 2 chicken & 2 alpastor), 1 order of chicken chalupa, and 1 steak platter. The food was good but not amazing. The green sauce was nothing special - it had an interesting taste. I tried dipping a few bites in the sauce but ended up leaving the rest. In my opinion, the Alpastor soft tacos are better than chicken. The chicken was dry and so was the corn tortilla. But the alpastor was flavorful and goes well with the cilantro, onions, and lime on the side. My friend has the Steak platter and she rated it a solid 7.8/10. She wasn't a fan of the beans and the extra tortilla wasn't great either so that was left unfinished. The steak and rice was good and she appreciated the Chips and guacamole that came with. There is a parking lot available so street parking is not a concern. read more

Lovely and low key Mexican spot with tortillas that feel and taste as if they were made while you wait. I feel that the majority of Mexican spots have salsa verde (green sauce) that is always mild but this place had a kick and I loved it. Everything was solid for the snowy day that I stopped in and it was a very pleasant experience. Go support this place and enjoy! read more

This is a great local spot for authentic food. I usually get the el pastor tacos, they are delicious! And side of guacamole and homemade chips. So fresh and yummy! I highly recommend this place. read more

the taste was not as expected,the portion was not a decent portion for the price,I have ate in a Mexican store called Ebenezer;they give you fresh chicken ,homemade bread for the torta and a good poration!!first and last time going there. French fries burned. is just not what I expected. fool me once !! por el precio y cantidad que te dan no vale la pena. y el sabor no es fresco !! read more

This little hole-in-the-wall had the type of authentic carne asada tacos I was hoping for. The salsa is markedly great but the tacos themselves were incredible overall. My friend had a horchata and said that it was less sweet than she was used to, but still good! So if you like a sweeter one, you may want to pass. The employees were nice, the food was affordable (especially for the amount of food and TASTE), and they had both indoor & outdoor seating. There was also a parking lot to the right side of the building with easily 20 spots so finding parking for 2 cars was not an issue at all. Highly recommend if you're in the area & need a tasty lunch! read more

If you read nothing else in the review. Please read this.. THIS RESTAURANT HAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND AUTHENTIC TACOS IN NJ. I consider myself a taco expert and WOW. The authenticity is impeccable. The vibe in here is super comfy. You can tell it's an authentic family business by the service they provide and honestly the warmth you feel when you order. The restaurant has about 7/8 tables varying from seating 2-4 people if that gives you any idea of how "homey" it is. I ordered the 4 tacos (2chicken,2 Al pastor) and the wings. The tortillas are homemade, corn which is a PLUS. From the radishes to the perfect spicy/pineapple flavor on the alpastor tacos-- JUST WOW. read more

Found on Yelp after a different place Yelp said was open now wasn't. SO glad! Had tacos and flautas and a couple of jarritos then tres leches and a churro after. Everything was fresh and delicious. Honestly, this place looks modest from the outside, only a few tables to sit at, but it worked for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! read more

Carnitas tacos, beef quesadilla, and Mexican beef platter were super good. The csrnitas and quesadilla didn't have a ton of flavor it was more that they were super simple and perfectly cooked and everything just really worked. Usually I want to be overpowered by flavor. This was not the case and I loved it. The chorizo tacos were good id say average and chicken flautas were just ok and a little dry. read more

OMG What a great Burrito, loaded with flavor & loaded with food. The tortilla wrapping was so fresh tasting. I've seen this place over the years but never went it. Although Burritos aren't true Mexican food, it was loaded with true Authentic Mexican Flavor. I also tried their wings that were just "ahh" so-so! but nothing that a little salt couldn't take care of. This is a place that I would definitely go to again to try some of their other dishes. The only negative thing for me was that the young lady who assisted me didn't speak English & my Spanish is really bad or should I say non existent once we get past "hola". Anyway the food was pretty go, the restaurant is small, yet cute & quaint and the price is affordable, what more can you ask for? read more

Ordered Veggie Burrito, drink and Tiramisu as To-Go order. Once I opened the food to eat at home the Tiramisu was smelling bad and had fungus on it. Burrito was average and nothing special that's why giving 2 Stars. Totally a bad experience! Check the picture of Tiramisu with fungus on it. The owners of the restaurant needs to make sure they are not serving any stale food. read more

I finally scored the Tamales Verdes! And they are definitely the best I have found locally. But you can only get them on Saturdays and Sundays, and you gotta get there early or call in your order so they can set them aside for you. I've been coming here for a while now and everything is delicious. However, I could never get there early enough on the weekend to get my hands on one of their amazing Tamales Verdes. Until today. Man, what I've been missing. They're made of tender, white cornmeal masa stuffed with savory shredded chicken and a slightly spicy salsa verde, steamedwrapped in corn husks. They also make ones with Salsa Roja and another with cheese, but the Verdes are my favorite. Order extras sides of their homemade Salsa Verde and Pico de Gallo to put over your tamales. These Tamales Verdes are hands down delicioso! And although they're hefty and filling, I sincerely doubt you'll only eat one. They're seriously addicting. If you try nothing else here, you gotta try their Tamales Verdes. You won't be disappointed. And your welcome. read more

My wife and I were looking for a new place to have dinner. I've passed by this place many times, but never noticed it until now. It's also great that they close late. Now for the food. We tried the breaded beef burrito, spicy pork tacos, and guacamole with chips. Everything was so delicious! We're a big fan over everything, but our favorite part was the breaded beef burrito. Everything was fresh and tasty. We will definitely be going back! read more

Today is Super Tuesday! Perhaps it was a bad Tuesday for Tacos. Could it be because I was eating and watching Clinton win Florida and Trump too- All at the same time ?? Perhaps!!! In any case, Antojitos left me with a small dissatisfaction. Here is why. The al pastor tacos were salty, not spicy and did not have chunks of pineapple. The presentation was falling short of impressive. Same story for the carne tacos. After a short break, I started to poke into the enchilada mole. The fresh queso blanco laid nicely on the enchilada. The black beans and rice tasted just fine, however, refried beans was expected. I bet it would've taste better too. The mole sauce was red in color but not spicy in taste. In fact, I found it to be fairly sweet. Obviously, it was not Mole Poblano style. It was just Mole Rojo. There were four enchiladas and after finishing one, the urge or desire to eat another was simply not there. What I must say, the ingredients were fresh. Chicken, pork, carne, rice, onions, etc. That's a plus in my book. I can't speak about the service since it was a pick up order. Parking is available on the side of the building. The location is not an ideal place for a young woman like myself but I know KARATE!!!! just kidding. Just be careful. They are open 7 days a week and have daily specials. Spanish is the primary language here so I recommend knowing your basics when dining here. Have fun. read more

February 8, 2016 Update: I've been here multiple times already and I see no reason why I should not give them five stars. The food is consistently delicious and the people here are super friendly. I've never been disappointed with the food. This is literally the only place I go to for Mexican food in Jersey... Mexican food craving fulfilled! The food here has its differences from what I used to eat in California, but that is expected. Keep in mind that this place is pretty small; there are five tables inside. Carne Asada Burrito ($8.50): Pretty big burrito stuffed with plenty of rice, cheese, some beans, and a good serving of carne asada. The carne was seasoned well. Although I wish they added pico de gallo, the salsa verde the burritos and tacos come with adds a nice subtle kick. Al Pastor Burrito ($8.65): They actually do not sell al pastor burritos, but the cooks happily took our request and made it for us! The al pastor was tender and flavorful. Like the other burrito, there is no cilantro or pico, but this is pretty close to what I am used to eating back home. The ratio of meat to rice is pretty good--there isn't too much of one thing. Al Pastor Tacos ($8.65): Compared to the burritos, I think I like the tacos more. The corn tortillas are homemade--soft, fluffy, and cooked perfectly. You can taste the al pastor more, since there is only cilantro and onion topping it (the way it should be). I would've liked a side of lime or some picked radishes, but I'm happy either way. Chicken Tamales: I wish they had beef, but I still enjoyed these. The masa itself is flavorful because of the shredded chicken. Do note that the chicken is packed mainly in the middle of the tamale. It's not spicy, but if you want it a little kick, definitely add plenty of salsa verde! read more

Went there last week. Had the guacamole and carne asada tacos. The guacamole was fresh and had obvious large chunks of tomatoes and cilantro. It tasted fresh and cool, and bright.the chips were freshly made, crunchy, and awesome. The tacos were also fresh. The lady asked me if I wanted tacos with guacamole or pico de gallo in them. Since I already sampled the Guac I decided to try the pico de gallo. This did not disappoint, and I got a nicely appointed pico de gallo that tasted fresh and bright and well balanced in my tacos. The tortillas were hand made in house and tasted great. I paired this with a Mexican coke of nice vintage and was sad when there was no more on the plate. read more

This is an unpretentious and underrated establishment, the food is great, its as if you are eating at your mother's kitchen, let me develop here, is homey Everything is made in their kitchen, please note the chips, they are home made. and the sauce that comes with it is also great, by the way the green hot sauce is the BEST.

I went their last night to pick up food. As I waited for my food I was cold and shivering. The place had heat, I was just extra cold.

Definitely an authentic Mexican restaurant. Great food! read more

I came here for lunch in a hot summer weekday. I saw that on yelp someone mentioned that there's no AC. Undeterred, I foolishly ordered the beef soup and a pork tacos. I was a sweaty mess but very satisfied with my authentic meal. My co-workers thought I ran a marathon when I returned from lunch, The soup was very rustic, not enough fat oil was skimmed from the pot. I like that they gave me chopped onions, cilantro, and lime to garnish the soup. The tacos was good. But, I drowned out the taste with green salsa. I can drink that if I could. The lady who runs the show knows English well. The Horhata is very sweet and pre-made in the fridge. Cash only I think. Unsure if they have bathroom for customers. The area is kinda shady even next to police station. But, I'm used to dark neighborhoods living in Paterson. read more

The burrito itself was good but I felt like it could use some onions. Verde sauce was one of the best I've ever had. I'm not a huge burrito person but I would definitely order it again. read more

Great Mexican food! The burritos (yeah, I know burritos aren't an authentic Mexican dish..) were flavorful, heavy on meat, not too much rice, and really delicious. Really large, too. I was only able to eat half, and got to enjoy the second half the next day :) My husband and I also ordered horchata and guacamole to share--both were good. Would love to come back and try their tacos! Overall, the quality and quantity was great and the prices were very reasonable. read more

This place is awesome for authentic Mexican. I got the four taco combination and you can mix and match options. I got carnitas and my friend who came with me had chicken and steak tacos.

I would definitely come again when I get the chance! read more

Delicious food, dinner plates are of small portions. Our favorite is the steak burrito it's huge, i usually get to save the second half.

Delicious food! Great people and the price is great! Oh man I hate Yelp forcing me to write a review instead of just rate it. read more

I ordered the chorizo tacos, and my father ordered the beef tacos. We both agreed that the meat did not have much flavor. I had to put salt on it. It was cooked well and had a nice presentation, but it did not have much of a taste. If you come here, I would recommend ordering something that has a sauce on it. read more

My first time here was during the final (hopefully) stages of the pandemic, but I am hopeful this place survives the lockdown! It's looks more like a deli but the food is real. I ordered tostada (pollo), quesadilla, Al Pastor tacos, and Mexican camarones. Everything was tasty and fresh, but the Mexican shrimps were the "piece de resistance". I didn't get much because my family got to it first. Really inexpensive, good for families but not a first date place. Only recommendation is more seafood items, but what they have is worth the trip. read more

Why are you prepping food without a hairnet. Found a curl string of someone's hair in my nachos. Will not be going back ever.

They make delicious burritos. It's a very small place but the people are very nice and the burritos are well worth the drive.

Not bad for first time found on Yelp. Burrito was good but lacking in sour cream and guacamole and could of been rolled much better. As eating burrito everything was coming out of the bottom. Clean restaurant, nice staff and overall not a bad experience regarding take out. Carne asada burrito was tender and good. Chicken burrito was a bit dry for our taste. Will try again but they have to do a much better job with the burritos if we order. read more
