The pastor tacos were also good, not as flavorful as the birria, but still a great dish. I would 100% come back with 2 orders of only the birria tacos, star if the show, oozing with cheese and packed with tons of flavor. Great spot for quick bite with the most authentic flavors. Side note, their bathroom has no light, but there come on a good sunny day for their outdoor seating!

Cuban sandwiches are made from a traditional roasted pork shoulder (pernil). Pulled pork. They had pork but sliced like a cold cut. Odd texture. No flavor. . One slice of ham and Swiss. You're supposed to taste the roast pork (pernil). The bread should be pressed & toasted with garlic butter. C'mon guys bring the flavor.

The star for me was definitely the birria sandwich. The birria is wrapped in a crispy layer of cheese and served inside the bread -- absolutely delicious! They also have fresh fruit waters, and if you like matcha, I definitely recommend trying the matcha horchata. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Garfield, NJ area!

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 I was wondering why our total was $90, but I just figured maybe the menu prices were outdated?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.

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!)

The decor was really colorful and the seating was comfortable. For drinks (not pictured), my husband had the margarita and I had the freshly squeezed lemonade. Both were really good. I ordered the Mexican pork ribs, which the waiter recommended. My son had the kids meal. The Mexican pork ribs had pork ribs sautéed in tomatillo sauce, which added nice acidity to the dish. It was also served with rice, beans, and corn tortillas. The kids plate had chicken with rice and beans. He absolutely loved it, I had some of his chicken it was juicy. This place is the definition of home style meal. It just tasted like something your grandmother would make. It was super satisfying and filling. We also took churros to go. They were very crispy and came with chocolate and a light dulce de leche sauce. The restaurant was clean and the waiter was very nice and attentive. Everything came out quickly. I didn't see the bathroom. Prices were reasonable, I think for the plate size, it was a good price. We're really excited to try their brunch menu!
