I had the chicken taco combo for like19 bucks . Water like 4 . Typical airport gouge . Food was very good and nice sized tacos .

This is NOT A DRILL. When I tell you these tacos are so delicious!!!! This place is clearly well…read moreauthentic and the service was quite well. But the tacos! Absolutely incredible. I ordered tacos al pastor, AND OMG, they come in 5, and they pack these tacos UP!! I mean, they do NOT go cheap on the meat, and they add the average add ons, cilantro, onion, and radish. They also come with 2 sauces, very delicious. The meat was well cooked, juicy, and VERY flavorful. The cooks did a grand job, and for the price too it was great. $14 for 5, and 5 VERY WELL MADE tacos. I cannot recommend this any more than I can, they have indoor seating as well. I will be coming back for more, I will be a regular. Thanks SO MUCH for the great food.

I'm rarely in Elizabeth, but I was here with my cousin and we stopped in for lunch yesterday…read more Pretty darn authentic Mexican for sure! We ordered a few items and split everything. The food was really fresh and well made. We had the Mariachi and soft chicken tacos. Guac and chips were spot on. We also had a chirozo dish and I can't remember what it was called, but it was delicious.

This place might look like a total hole in the wall, but the tacos are seriously on another level…read more Every bite was flavorful and fresh -- the kind that makes you immediately plan your next visit. Orders come in sets of four, so come hungry (or be ready to share if you're feeling nice). The staff were great too -- super accommodating about my no-cilantro request and made sure everything came out exactly right. I'm giving it four stars only because it's more of a quick bite spot than somewhere you hang out, but honestly, the food alone makes it worth the stop

We placed our order at the counter and sat ourselves. It's a pretty hole in the wall type place, but the food is good and it's cheap. Our tacos arrived after a short wait.

The portal Restaurant offers Delicious food, Great service, and nice Ambiance…read more If you like spicy you are going to love the sauce, you are going to fall in love with the steak and nachos but please get some shrimp. The waiters were very attentive, they make sure we have everything we ordered. Great music, quiet ambience to have a nice dinner and lunch. Lastly I loved the Valentines decorations 100% recommending you this place. Restaurante El Portal ofrece comida deliciosa, buen servicio, y un ambiente agradable. Si les gusta lo picante les van a encantar las salsa. Se van a enamorar de la carne azada y los nachos pero ordenense unos camarones están súper ricos. Los meseros fueron muy atentos, asegurándose que tuviésemos todo lo que ordenamos. Buena música, un ambiente tranquilo ideal para una cena o almuerzo. Y por último la decoración de San Valentín estaba muy bonita 100% les recomiendo este lugar!

Delicious Mexican restaurant in downtown Elizabeth…read more... Started it off with some nachos But they were not my typical nachos, they were nacho chips buried in melted cheese... Different but still tasty. I had a strawberry margarita and they brought some condiments for our dinner to the table. I ordered the steak chimichangas. Now I'm accustomed to getting one large chimichanga, but here I was served three smaller chimichangas topped with sour cream again different but still very delicious. They were served with a side of rice and refried beans. My husband ordered the whole red snapper fish that was served with rice and a side salad. My husband always enjoys getting a whole fish and he liked this fish very much. Everything here was very authentic and very delicious. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, and their decorations were very fun and festive and we look forward to returning.

I've been going to this place for years and I keep coming back. Pro tip: Wednesdays they give an extra taco. Cons: Pricy $$$$.

Afro Taco has been around for a few years. They're based out of Hillside so it's nice to see them…read moresetup shop here semi-officially. Friendly service, I always like when the staff will talk and joke with you. There is parking on the nearest side street (Florence Ave), but no parking on the Main Street (Liberty Ave). I submitted updates to their info, but in case it doesn't work, their current address is the lot next to 1350 Liberty Ave, Hillside, NJ 07205. You can't really park in the lot itself as there is no driveway. You'd have to drive over the curb & sidewalk. I mean, I guess you could if you were willing to do that. Had the Oxtail empanadas, Walking (Beef) Taco, you provide the chips of your choice. Not a problem there is a 7-Eleven directly across the street, & the Oxtail Burrito. Everything was very good. They are expensive, so be prepared for that, but you get what you pay for. Grades: Oxtail Empanadas: A Walking Taco (Beef): A- Oxtail Burrito: B+

My first experience just wasn't the best but I truly do want to give it another try. So the website says they arrive at 12 pm but IG says 12:30 pm , I got there at 12:30 pm but the truck didn't actually pull up ready for service until 1 pm. There were a couple of people waiting and all were a little frustrated because when we called to see where the truck was we either received no answer or "I'll be there in 15" which turned to 30. I really wanted to order some of the other dishes but due to having to leave I could only order the tacos since those were the quickest. I was looking forward to the burst of Ghanaian flavors in the jollof but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The tacos were flavorful but just kind of tasted like regular tacos and brown rice. Maybe I set my expectations too high? I'm not sure. The owner was nice enough but considering that he got there so late and spoke to a few of the customers that were waiting, he could've Atleast extended a mini discount or extra side, honestly anything for opening so much later than listed on his website and Instagram. I do love supporting new businesses and this one is thriving via social media. I'm hoping that I just caught him on a bad day because we're all humans and we all have days. Next time, I'm hoping it will be better!
