    Always happy to support small family run businesses. This is located in an unassuming strip mall across from Bishop Eustace High School. Food was plentiful and well priced. Can't beat nacho appetizer for less than $10. So much more authentic and flavorful than the big box Mexican restaurants. Staff is super friendly. Will be happy to return.

    Tacos Barbacoa

    Most authentic Mexican food in Cherry Hill by far. I've been to several places in the area and most of the time I am disappointed by high prices and dry, bland meat. This place is the exception. Carnitas and barbacoa are juicy, tender, and have deep flavor. I wish I could have gotten the cabeza, but they were out of stock today. I'll definitely have to come back to try it.

    Beef and chorizo tacos with rice and beans
    Nik K.

    I had my usual taco craving and decided to look for a place that was close by. I searched and found La Nova. I'm not sure how I ever missed this place before since I used to frequent the area a lot when I lived in CH. Anyway, I found La Nova and planned my visit there. Parking was plentiful, so I found a spot close to the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by a warm, friendly young lady who handed me a menu. I quickly reviewed the menu and decided what I wanted to try. For my appetizer I tried the nachos that came with queso fresco and refried beans. For my entree I went with the steak and chorizo tacos, rice and beans. The nachos arrived quickly. They were delicious. The refried beans and queso were perfectly paired and the hot sauce provided by the restaurant was soooo good. It gave me the right amount of heat and flavor together. A few mins later, my tacos, rice and beans arrived. My tacos were completely packed with meat, just the way I like 'em. The chorizo really elevated the flavor of the beef. The refried beans actually accentuated the flavor of the rice once I mixed them together. The sides were good, but the highlights of my experience were the chorizo and nachos. I think La Nova has a solid foundation and is a staple for those seeking to have a traditional Mexican meal in Pennsauken. I would revisit the restaurant again if I were in the area.

Rice and beans, Chicken taquitos, squash blossom quesadilla, & steak quesadilla Had Watermelons and Melon Fresco Came in huge mugs. Definitely recommend

    2 of 3 Bistec y Chorizo tacos.

    We stopped here on a Friday evening in July for tacos after reading some of the reviews. The reviews were spot on. We each had orders of 3 tacos. My husband had the Bistec y Chorizo (Steak & Sausage) and I had the Birria (brisket). Both were made to order and delicious. I also had a Horchata and my husband a Mango Fresh water drink. We also had an order of chips and freshly made pico de gallo. Everything was delicious, the service was prompt and courteous. In terms of ambiance, it is a taqueria, so it is very casual, but they do provide table service and serve on china plates with silverware. We would definitely come back if we were in the area. These are tacos of the flavor and quality we have had in California where we used to live.

    Amazing!!! The best Mexican food we've had in years. It may not look like much from the outside, but often the best food comes from a small local place like this. Don't miss out on the salsa. And be warned that the sauces have some spicy. But yummy all around! We'll be back.

    Steak tacos

    This place is absolutely incredible. Very unassuming on the outside but that's how you know it's good and authentic!!! Some of the BESTTTTT Mexican food I have EVER had

Located on the main strip on Haddon Ave, we wound up here quite by accident. When we walked in, and it was funeral parlor empty. The inside is nice, spacious and super clean, but zero customers had us feeling "uh oh." But our server came around the corner and ushered us into an adjoining room, equally as nice, that had a few other patrons dining. Fears alleviated, we sat down and got to ordering. The menu is great, with something from everyone. We got the birria burrito for me, lobster tacos for the Misses, mac and cheese for the Little One, and a side of Sweet Plantains for everyone. FIRST, god lord almighty....them sweet plantains are MAGICAL! They taste like French Toast. OMG......SOOO good. The rest of the food had an extremely high bar to live up to, and it did. Everything was fast, fresh and delicious. Even the price was tolerable. Our server was extremely nice, though I wish he would have written stuff down, as we had to remind him a couple of times about our requests. No biggie. We will, 100% be back, and if it's anything like last time, I have a feeling Paloma will be moving onto the 5-Star list quickly.

The inside seating is also cool as is the bar seating. The appetizers were delicious! The crispy chili Brussels sprouts and guacamole were equally yummy! Our entrees on the other hand weren't as great. We both had entrees with carne asada and we agreed that there was something "off" with the steak ... perhaps not as fresh as it should've been or something, we said we'd veer away from it next time we visited ... because we WILL visit again since finding a Mexican restaurant in the area that is NOT a BYOB seems impossible for some reason so, Central Taco & Tequila is now our go to spot lol.

I loved the mezcal I ordered, which is hard to find at other bars I've been to, so it's my go to drink when I come here. Our one friend ordered two different margaritas and didn't finish either one, though. She said they were too sweet. I really enjoyed the carne asada tacos I got but wow they were small. The picture doesn't do them justice. Definitely more of an appetizer than a main meal. Overall great spot in a town with lots of incredible restaurants. Definitely worth checking out.

    I had absolutely no idea there was a Tacoria this close to one of my family home locations until I…read morespotted it on the map. My very first Tacoria experience was at the Edgewater, NJ location. Needless to say, I was hooked. I've tried so much on their menu across multiple locations, met some of the most genuinely kind staff, and I just keep coming back. When I say my man & I have Tacoria often, I mean it - the quality never disappoints no matter which location we go to. PARKING The parking lot is on the smaller side, but I pulled in around 4:30 PM on a Friday and had zero trouble finding a spot. ATMOSPHERE This location is absolutely gorgeous. You can really feel small bits and pieces of Philadelphia woven into the space; I genuinely loved seeing that reflected here. Tacoria always brings an amazing atmosphere no matter where you go, and this location is no exception. There is also outdoor seating available when the weather allows it. I could have easily eaten in and felt a little bittersweet about not doing so. That said, the inside is beautiful. MENU & FOOD Since my man is usually the one ordering for us, I had to take a moment to recall our go to order. The big menu board is a lot to take in at once, so I appreciated that Justin, the guy working the counter, handed me one of the smaller menus to look through. That made it so much easier to find what I usually get. I ordered the burrito box with Brussels sprouts and carne asada (double the protein), the Nutella nachos (which are my absolute favorite, they're a must), and an agua fresca. I swear if Tacoria started selling Agua Fresca by the gallon I would buy it! Fair warning: I am never fully able to finish a whole burrito box in one sitting. I can usually get through about three quarters of it, but honestly that is not a complaint at all because Tacoria tastes just as delicious the next day warmed up. For the agua fresca, I went with my usual horchata, but there are three options available: horchata, limonada, and guava and basil. My boyfriend's go-to is the limonada that he mixes with the guava. They also have regular refreshments available, but if you're new here, please try an agua fresca, you will not regret it. For sauces, they have to go containers to fill up at your disgression, I loaded up on salsa verde, habanero, smoky roja, and Valentina. I just love building out my burrito box with literally all of them. For a Polish girl, I LOVE SPICY FOOD. LOCATION I originally knew the other south jersey location, but that one has always been a bit too far out for me. According to Justin, this location opened up in August 2025. Therefore, knowing that this one is so close now is genuinely dangerous for my wallet; I can already see myself ordering here way too often, and I am completely fine with that. Tacoria started in New Brunswick and has been growing and expanding ever since, and I'm thrilled to see it making its way into this area. More people deserve to have access to this food. ALL IN ALL, I have to give a huge shoutout to Justin, because he genuinely made this first-time experience at this location so special. We were talking back and forth while I looked through the menu, and he was warm, helpful, and just the kind of person you're happy to interact with. At the end of it all, he comped my agua fresca because it was my first visit to this location, and honestly, that kind of generosity and hospitality says everything about the culture of this place. I went back in after I had already walked out just to get his name so I could mention him here, because that level of customer service deserves to be recognized. Tacoria is always going to be my go-to for a feel-good, delicious, well-made meal when I want to treat myself. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is always amazing, and the people make every single visit worthwhile. If you have never been, I cannot recommend it enough. Just go.

Nope the trouble it all comes down from the top. The food has gotten bland and the portions have gotten ridiculously small. How small? Here are some examples - I used to order the chile rellenos: * Old owners - 2 stuffed chile peppers served with rice. * New owners - 1 stuffed chile pepper served with rice for about 3 dollars more. I used to order tamales: * Old owners - 3 tamales * New owners - 2 tamales for two dollars more. As a bonus kick in the pants - I was charged $5 for a side of extra queso fresco. I had to order this because of the minimal amount they now put on it. I was literally in shock. I could see 2 bucks, even 3, hell 4 is pushing it, but 5 dollars? Nope. The final straw came for me when I order 3 beef tacos and they came on tortillas that were insanely small. I'm talking 2 bites and gone. I asked the server, did they change tortilla styles, and she honestly didn't know. Also they're now 3 bucks more than they used for to be. The worst thing a place can do is charge more money for less food that by comparison is substandard to how it used to be. On top of that their kitchen's sheer inability to get even the simplest requests right, coupled with finding actual steel wool fragments in my taco meat the last time I ordered... sigh. I'm at a loss. Thankfully the previous owners opened up a New Mexican restaurant only 5 more minutes in driving distance from me and it was like going home again. Sorry Jalapeños, but we are never coming back again.
