No matter who you are or where you're from, there's a strong chance that you're familiar with the…read moremeaning of "Taco Tuesday," which exists across the US, from Los Angeles to small-town Tennessee, from food trucks in the barrios to high-end restaurants in hipster haunts. For some of us, it might simply call for going out and getting tacos or even just preparing our own. Situated in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Roselle Park, this establishment is set inside a small corner suburban home where some of my colleagues decided on takeout, which came highly recommended. Upon arrival at Taqueria La Casita, or "The Little House Taqueria," we were confronted outside by the neon signage reading "Tacos Open" and Mexican flags, among other pieces of colorful decor. Greeted by the staff inside an un-air-conditioned cozy dining room decked out in its Mexican splendor with 4 tables. In the back, a colorful menu with nearly a dozen different types of tacos and an array of other dishes written by hand. We opted for individual orders containing 4 tacos with Shrimp, Chicken, Steak, and Pork. While waiting, we couldn't help but notice the trompo--the spinning, shawarma-adjacent log of marinated pork used for Al Pastor, which translates to "in the style of the shepherd." Originating in Puebla, this came at the hands of Lebanese immigrants during the 1930s. The tortilla itself was freshly made, of the corn variety. They were stuffed to the brim with meat prepared in front of us and served with cucumbers and lime. Fresh condiments of diced onion, cilantro, and avocado were separated in their own container, and all were needed. Various sauces accompanied in small containers, such as green, which was jalapeño-based; the darker red salsa was smoky from dried and smoked chipotle chilis; and neon orange, which was a sauce made from chili de arbol and tomato. The guacamole was absolutely delicious along with the chips, and we couldn't get enough. The portion was a healthy size. The service was fast; Maribel was friendly and accommodating. Authentic, fresh, and affordable--we can recommend this place.

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!!!

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.

I also ordered the chorizo dip which was so good. I asked for more chips. Our waitress was perfect. She stopped by and didnt rush us. I really appreciated it. The music was a mix of current music and 90s hip hop and r&b classics. I had a great time. Id definitely go back. I really liked the decor as you can tell by the photos.

It was enough food for a dinner, so I brought the rest home since it was lunchtime. Nice open & spacious atmosphere in the dining area. Very clean with many regular tables and chairs and also high (bar height) tables & chairs spaced nicely. Also 2 counter style seating areas; 1 overlooks the street. Orders can be placed on a Kiosk computer or directly with an employee. A friendly and helpful female employee was patient with the many questions I had since this was my first time there. The food preparation area was efficient; the workers wore gloves. The food is delicious and there's quite a variety including protein foods, toppings and sides... see photos. Definitely recommend & I will be returning again! Note: For those with walkers or wheelchairs, there are 2 entrances ~ one with a nice long ramp & the other with stairs. Both open to a foyer. It would be a good idea for a person with a wheelchair or walker to be dropped off as soon as you pull into the driveway, rather than walk from the parking lot.

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.

The veggie burrito was huge and my wife brought the other half home and had it for lunch the next day. The prices were more than reasonable and the service was excellent and friendly.
