Have been coming here for years and I'm a huge fan! The tacos are very authentic and the prices are amazing! I always get the three taco combo with chorizo, and chicken. Portions are great too. We always have leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend the chips and guac as an appetizer, its always fresh with just enough spices! and again the portions are so generous we always have leftovers even with the guac! Parking can be difficult on Bergenline but side streets are accessible and and free parking on Sundays! read more

El Tio Taco - Chorizo and chicken! - Mexican Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

Decided to try this place out today. The only thing I ordered was a chicken burrito. The girl was very nice and accommodating. (Allowing me to substitute sides for avocado IN the burrito) However, when I received my order it wasn't a chicken burrito or "a burrito at all". She gave me a chorizo burrito and when I let her know that I ordered chicken she doubled down on me ordering chorizo and not remaking it :( then I look at the burrito and I see that it is a large tortilla wrapped around the ingredients (both sides are open instead of closed) So I had to requested for a fork and knife because I couldn't even pick it up. I feel like this is something to warn your customers about. The music is also very loud, I couldn't even accept a phone call and I think it's part of the reason as to why she says I ordered "chorizo". I tried to eat it as best as I could, doesn't taste too bad but I wouldn't come here again. read more

This place is a hit or miss. Some items on their menu u are decent, but they manage to ruin basic items like a burrito. Nachos are terrible too. Pozole extremely salty. Like did no one sample it before serving? read more

Me encanta la comida de este lugar, los tacos son mis preferidos, y la decoracion es muy bonita, el servicio fatal no hay atencion al cliente solo te toman la orden y good bye, hasta que te traen la cuenta !!!! read more

llamé para hacer un delivery, la chica que me atendió se le notaba muy molesta, le pedí quesadillas y se enojó porque le pregunté que me diera las opciones de quesadillas que tenían, respiraba así tipo de que estaba harta y para colmo cuando le dije que le iba a pagar con tarjeta volvió y respiro de mala gana, llame a las 10:20 de la noche y cierran a las 12:30 o sea que llame a una hora bien, deberían notar eso, porque los clientes nos sentimos mal con ese trato y la trate bonito, quizás esté cansada o algo, pero no es mi culpa. muy mal trato read more

I almost never do reviews but this time I do. I don't think I'm a bad customer. I don't come often. This time I came and I felt ignored by one of the waitresses as if she was bothered by my presence. Pay attention to the owners. If you don't have people trained for customer service, I know you do a lot of business but dollar, dollar counts. Customers don't get involved in being treated that way, it doesn't matter what nationality you are. read more

El Tio Taco - Quesadillas de pollo - Mexican Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

Decent tacos. 4 for $8.50. They threw in a roasted green onion and a huge roasted green chili and that made the whole eating experience quite amazing. Very few members of the staff speak English in this restaurant, so be aware of that. My only complaint is that the takeaway order has too much oil. Nevertheless, love this place and the food. read more

On the sandwich spectrum, cemitas tend to be on the heftier side. I don't recall seeing one I'd characterize as small. But I don't think ever encountered a giant cemita on par with the special Cemita Del Tio Taco here. This was a case study in restaurant ordering methodology. When you see something named after the place and slightly pricier than similar items, go for it. Crammed with carne enchilada, avocado, beans and cheese, this is an impressive sandwich that left me with no regret that I didn't choose the enticing tacos such as pork leg. And the free chips-and-salsa was way better than usual, featuring a red salsa, pico del gallo and a fiery green concoction. read more

Absolutely terrible service they don't use real avocado in their guacamole. Don't bother pointing it out because they will still charge you when you don't even eat it. Over all bad experience never coming back here again because of the shitty food and bad service.10/10 do not recommend read more

I love their quesadillas! They are really quick. Also their chorizo quesadillas are amazing and they are right amount of spicynes.

Terrible tacos. They are not as advertised on yelp. I'm pretty sure a taco isn't just a taco wrap with plain chicken inside. Never going back again. Oh and good luck if you don't speak Spanish. read more

Fui a comprar unos tacos la cajera me ablo y me trato de una manera tan horrible ala hora de pagar me trato peor

There are multuple taco places in the area but this one is the best. They have a few locations but I go to the one on Bergenline. If you want truly authentic tacos with fresh homemade tortillas (is there any other way?), then this is your joint. They have various types to try, even tripe for the more adventurous. El pastor is my favorite. There are also multiple sauces to add. Some are very hot which I love. I haven't tried anything other then tacos, but I am looking forward to exploring more of the menu. Customer service is average, and they don't serve beer. Those are the only to cons. read more

El Tio Taco - Tacos El pastor and carnitas. 4 for $8. Oops I couldn't wait and ate one before the pic. - Mexican Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

This place used to be a great place, but it seems that they changed the personnel and now is just a mess. Horrible food, and the worst customer service you can receive. I definitely do not recommend this place. read more

The low down.... $7 steak tacos(4) yes please! Banging guacamole! Ok chips served with spicy salsa... yum and municipal parking lot is half a block away. I love the steak tacos here. They remind me of a taco truck on the streets of LA! The restaurant is no frills peeps. Get in, enjoy the tacos and bounce. It's located on bergenline, so street parking is non existent. Luckily theres a municipal parking lot between 51st and 52nd street, so go there to avoid a ticket. I'm going to go back to try some other dishes and other taco options..... beef tongue is calling me. The guacamole is fresh, creamy and chunky - so order up one of those too. If you have a street taco craving, def check this spot out and enjoy! read more

Very tasty food. Got chorizo tacos and al pastor. I think al pastor was better. Adding the table salt and salsas made it very good.

At one point in time this was the most legit and authentic Mexican spot there was. I truly loved it with all my heart. But like most places they bought a second or third spot. Started to grow and it's been losing its luster. This place made amazing authentic tacos and other things at one point. Made it with real corn tortillas, home made probably. Recently they changed to a more American tasting tortilla and that has completely changed the taste. Not for the better. The rest of their food that doesn't include their new tortilla is still very good. There horchata is ok It is annoying how beggars and bootleggers can come into the restaurant and try to sell you their latest mixtapes "Maybe if they where to put some of their homemade salsa on it they would actually be fire!!! Hahahaha Im dying!!! So funny I am. Sigh......" Anyways yea that's annoying. Overall score: used to be a 4.7 out of 5. Food: 4 out of 5 Tacos: 3.9 out of 5 Atmosphere: 3.9 out of 5 read more

It's a nice cheap place to eat. 4 tacos for $7. Love the free chips and salsa. But let's get real...this isnt some great cooking that keeps you coming back weekly. The are plenty of places on B-line where you can find the same food. So color me indifferent. Not a bad place to go overall. Just watch out as they don't speak any English but that didn't matter much. Service is adequate. read more

El Tio Taco - Chips n salsa free - Mexican Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

The food was amazing, but the service was horrible! Most of the customers walked out because it took them over hour just to either get water or take there order down! I went with my husband and 3 kids mind you one of my kids is 1 years old she didn't bother asking me if I need a high chair for the kids. we had to wait over 1 just for her to take our order then waited over another 30 min for her to bring us chip and dip, and when our food finally came after another 1 1/2 hours it was cold!!! We returned and when the manger came with our food and he tells us sorry but like I said the food was amazing once we was done we waited 30 min just for her to get us the bill! It's was crazy! We got there at 6:30 left there at 9:30! If you decided to go just keep in mind your going to be there a while just for them to take your order! read more

Went here for some Tacos. There was no parking. Had to run in to get the food to go. The staff only speaks Spanish. Very hard to communicate. Forgot to put the order in at first. The chicken tacos we got were a sad excuse for a taco. Plain salty chicken and just no real flavor. Do not recommend there are better spots in the area read more

Very unprofessional. I called to put in a order for delivery and they literally laughed as hung up in my face.

Thank you for all of the wonderful food for our holiday gathering at Il Tavolo di Palmisano. Food was loved by all!

One of the most dry steak tacos I've ever tried not even a ton of sauce could fix it, I found the food to be underwhelmed but I think is understandable given the customers base; hard working people, but.... in México city is incredible how even the most humble and low income people are highly educated when it comes to food and flavors, so I don't get how a place like this seems to be highly popular. read more

I'm just so confused about the high rating for this place... A friend and I came to this place after a yelp search and seeing their high rating. The place was full of natives so I got even more excited (thats how you usually know the food is good). We sat down and were excited when we got a bowl of chips and bowls of pico, salsa, and a spicy pepper salsa. That was the peak of my visit here. When we received our food...it was the most bland food I've ever tasted in my life. When I looked around for some black pepper to try to add a little life back to my food..there was none...okay..no big deal..I decided to ask the waiter....they had no black pepper at all in the restaurant...just salt. Maybe I should have just stuck to the steak tacos that I see everyone raving about, but I cant imagine that if my chicken wasn't seasoned..what the hell would my steak taste like? I dont know guyss..yelp reviews have steered me wrong in this case Im not gonna tell anyone not to come here, because the service was decent and the staff was nice. I will not be back tho. read more

Great local find! Was told by word of mouth that this place had great tacos and wasn't disappointed. I got the bistec, chorizo, chuleta, and al pastor. All had great flavor but the meats were kinda dry, except for the chorizo. This can have a quick fix by adding any of the complimentary salsas. 4 tacos were 9 dollars, which is average for the area, but a great price nonetheless compared to the city! Chips and three types of salsa are complimentary! It comes with an onion and long pepper that are smokey and charred with great flavor that make the meal! Service is super nice although there is a language barrier sometimes for non-spanish speakers.Do yourself a favor and grab takeout/ outdoor dining here. read more

We have been coming here for years and this time the service was absolutely terrible. The food took an eternity and the customer service is horrible. Two of us are vegetarian and we specifically asked for no Ham or meat and they put the ham in and when we asked for a new one all they did was pick it out. In case you don't know that can really upset someone's stomach if there's still some meat in the food. Very irresponsible of them. The waitress was terrible and she did not smile, talk much or even get our order right read more
