I came with a group and didn't take pictures but will upload once I'm back. And I will be back. The food is just next level. When they said they were authentic they were not kidding. I tried the birria, and it is a must have. I asked for the torta (they have tacos, nachos, and other options as well). And oh boy it was great. I also tried the tacos al pastor with pineapple. It is the perfect mix of sweet and salty. The choritacos were great but the game changer for me was definitely the birria. They have juices both natural and freshly mixed and they have other drinks that looked very appetizing. I decided to go with the passion fruit and have no regrets. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

I thought the food was overall very good and the service was great. A little bit on the pricier side for more of a casual meal but still was very good. Nice people and great spot read more

My girlfriend and I were in the mood to try out a new Mexican food place. We ordered some food from here for pickup, and ate it at home. This place was delicious. We really enjoyed the items we ordered, which were birria tacos, steak tacos, and chicken quesadilla. My favorite of these items were the birria tacos. They were so flavorful and juicy. And that dipping sauce was amazing. The perfect combo here. The quesadilla was very tasty as well. It was a nice size for the price. The steak tacos were just average. But overall, the food was great and we really enjoyed it. read more

Decent taco spot. Id be open to returning if I were in the area. Only complaint is that the tacos could do with more onion and cilantro. That being said,the meat quantity is generous, and it's fairly flavorful I wasn't the biggest fan of the birria taco. Will likely just stick to carne. Prices were reasonable read more

Visited this small family style. The reviews we read were very good and so we decided to give it a try. We were greated by a friendly and smiling waitress who made us feel welcomed. We were seated and offered menus , chips and 4 types of salsas were brought over quickly two were very spicy, one was a green sauce and the other was pico de gallo. My Girlfriend ordered the ellote. Corn as an appetizer and I had a beans and cheese Papusa. Both were delicious, I finished my papusa but the ellote was too much for My girlfriend to finish. She ordered Birria tacos with a side of rice and beans and I had the BIRRIA Bowl. Both dishes were incredible and too large to finish, we washed them down with the Best Horchata I personally have ever had. We will be coming back Again as I think we found a new favorite for Mexican food' read more

This place is so cute inside, small corner restaurant. Very nice service. Fresh food! Complimentary chips and salsas, so many varieties - two spicy and two mild. The fried Tilapia was delicious and huge!! The torta was ok - the bread wasn't fresh so that was a bummer but it still tasted good. We both got desserts and they were solid. Definitely check this spot out. I have had chicken enchiladas from here before too and they are delish!!! read more

I had the Bistec a la Mexicana, my husband had a burrito. The bistec had a very nice flavor profile that I don't recall having before. That is a winner in my book. They do a busy take out service, so if you plan to dine in, expect to wait awhile. The place is clean and pleasant atmosphere. Expect street parking. read more

Found this place when searching for high rates Birria tacos. Placed an over the phone order and went to pick it up. Everyone there was so nice. My order ended up taking 10-15 min longer than expected so they felt bad and said they threw something in for me. It was Mexican corn which was really good! I've tried a lot of Birria tacos but these were really good! They held up very well for take out and the consume was very good, flavorful! I will definitely be back for more! read more

Update: Went back to La Hacienda a few days later with my partner and everything was still amazing. He was also really impressed. I ordered the tacos again, he got the burrito, we both got the passion fruit juice and we finished it off with the tres leches. Service was amazing. We were able to get seated as soon as we walked in. This is truly one of my newest favorite restaurants in the area. The quality is consistent. read more

Happy hump day Adventurers! I grabbed a late lunch with a friend here and wow--so so good! Another friend actually recommended this place so I'm excited I got to come here. Parking can be a hassle in this area but that's pretty normal, just need to read the parking signs. We ordered the birria tacos with a side of guacamole and chips. The orange sauce they provide is delicious--spicy and savory!! The birria was one of the best I've tried so far, and very juicy. Staff was very nice and there's plenty of seating. They also delivery so that's pretty awesome. I def recommend this spot when you're in Amboy. They also offer fresh juice and horchata! read more

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to and I've been to some Michelin restaurants in nyc. Worth every penny!

I was expecting just a burrito I could hold and just bit into. I didn't expect to have to dig in by cutting up my burrito. But nonetheless, it was delicious! I would prefer my lettuce and tomatoes in my burrito but I see why they put it on the outside. The burrito was packed with delicious al pastor meat. I didn't taste much pineapple but when I did it was perfect. Their green sauce was great. A bit spicier than I thought and the red sauce was some creamy Chipotle. Had a strong spicy kick. My food did take a while to come out for take out. I thought the amount and quality was worth the price of what I paid for. read more

The food is delicious. Authentic, fresh and perfectly seasoned. Our go to is the chicken burrito, the enchiladas de mole and the tres leche cake, which is is the best desert we've ever had. We live nearby so we have a chance to go there often. Highly recommended by two incredibly discerning foodies. The only downside is they are closed on Saturday. read more

This place was an awesome fine, I am so glad that we stopped here for lunch!! I live far away, but I will absolutely be making the trip out to come back here and try so much more options on the menu. The food was fresh and delicious, the waiter was very sweet and attentive, and I was able to customize my dish (which made me happy). The taste of everything was amazing, it tasted very authentic, and the sauces that they give in the beginning are to die for! I'm so sad that this is not closer to my house, but I can't wait to come back!! Dont walk, RUN to this restaurant!! :D read more

Terrible customer service. Didn't get my order correct even though i was charged for the extras and add ons. Literally asked for chick taco extra chees no onion no cilantro. I was givem chicken tacos WITH ONIONS AND CILANTRO and NO CHEESE. Not worth the money. Better places to get tacos read more

Fun, good food but no frills! You have to separately order every part of the meal - main meal comes with no sides, no rice, no vegetable - we had to ask for sour cream for the fajitas read more

Saw the flyer to this place at my gym crazy enough. I saved it for when I was in the area and man lemme tell you... man this place is it! I went in the afternoon by myself and just ate in. I got 3 tacos and wings with tostones. I actually wasn't a fan of the wings but the Birria tacos!!! OMG they were delicious. I'm definitely coming back. Oh and they have these chips with sauces on the table that were just amazing. 10/10 y'all have to go! read more

Tacos Al pastor is delicious! Dessert is pretty good too. One of the better Mexican restaurants in the area

So after revisiting the restaurant, the owner stated he wants to keep halal BEEF BIRRIA only for the time being. So for the Muslims who want to try authentic beef birria in NJ, then this is the spot. I think once he sees the traffic he may change more menu items to permanently halal. read more

Looking for a midway point between Bedminster and Monmouth Beach, Perth Amboy came up on the website. While checking reviews for lunch I came across La Hacienda Restaurant. It did not disappoint. Parking is challenging and the ambience minimal. The food and service more than make up for this. The guacamole was fresh, plentiful and delicious. I ordered a special, Tinga de Pollo tostada and my guest had the salmon platter. Both were outstanding as were the drinks. Definitely worth the trip! read more
