    Two carnitas, one bistec and one chorizo
    Vanessa A.

    $2 tacos! Can't beat that! Decided to come here because they rated as one of the top taco spots in Jersey by @njdotcom. We went here around 3pm on a Saturday and they were packed! We waited no more than 10 minutes for a table for 4. Most of the tables are community tables. They definitely maximize all their space! I had a medium horchata to drink. Loved it! For a medium it was pretty sizable. The large is huge! We started with a large order of guacamole and it was more than enough for the 4 of us. We all overdid it with wanting to try as many tacos as we could. We shared an order of the birria tacos. These are the only tacos you can't order individually; you get 4 for $14.95. I ordered the carnitas (these are what got them ranked), steak and chorizo. I liked the chorizo best probably because of the kick they had! Overall solid tacos. I wouldn't hesitate to go back!

    The hype is real!! As is the price! $2 tacos and they're delicious! I love me a hole in the wall. We spent less then $30 on a full appetizer, entree and drinks! I think this place Would take off if they added a bar. But for now I appreciate the casual vibes of it. The waiters were kind and attentive. I will return!

    There's no special "Taco Tuesday deal" because there's no need to when Tacos are $2 everyday except the Birria ones which are about $14 for 4. There is a self ordering machine with pictures and prices or you can just order directly from the nice lady at the front. Their tacos are pretty authentic with a lot of locals there for their tacos and other varieties. Total worth it and they come out fast which as well. Not much nearby but there's street parking for 20 mins per quarter. Their horchata has just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for over 5 years and will continue to come back. It is a casual authentic Mexican food spot with delicious tacos for an amazing price. All the tacos are delicious but my favorite is the al pastor and chorizo. The green salsa is amazing and add a little bit of red salsa for an extra kick. I tried the pozole for the first time this visit. It was warm, delcious and had a deep yet clean broth perfect for the cold weather. I've tried their tostadas, echiladas, and agua frescas. Their horchata and in the summer the watermelon drink is my favorite as well. The servers are kind and the restaurant gets very packed. Parking is a little difficult but the tacos keep me coming back. I've also called ahead or ordered online for pick up and my experiences were smooth as well.

    $2.00 tacos and you can not go wrong by these authentic tacos . I got 4 steak tacos . Great flavor and good amount of meat within the taco . Served with a green sauce that has a little spice to it and lime on the side too . I love coming here especially with great prices . I highly recommend. Come try and you can mix and match in one order which is a plus .

    Excellent food and service. The tacos are only $2 - they are super tasty and better than most $5 tacos in Manhattan. I also love their tostadas. The chips and salsa were complimentary and the restaurant has a fun vibe.

    Tacos, 2 carnitas and 2 al pastor.

    Food is always good here, plenty of options to choose from, tacos are only $2 and they have food portions. Service is fair not that annoying waitress asking you every 3 minutes if you need anything else they are very attentive. Piñatas hanging from the ceiling and Mexican paintings on the wall, music and a good atmosphere. Parking is a nightmare you will have to park a little far unless you get really lucky and get a spot on the block, also there's always cars double parked they are picking up to go orders and just run inside to get something fast.

    I found this place on Yelp because the $1.50 tacos caught my eye. So, we ordered a bunch of tacos for pick up on a Friday at around 5 pm. The tacos are now $2, but that's still really cheap. It's almost Mexico City prices, so can't complain there. It seems like an authentic Mexican place because they had more than just your standard chicken, beef, and chorizo. They had all the offals, which is rare to see - especially at this price. We had the al pastor, lengua, buche (pork stomach), cabeza, tripa, suadero. Most of the tacos were fine, though the suadero was dry. The al pastor was good but some pineapple could have put this over the top. But the star of the show was the tripa. I think they must fry it or something, because there were crispy bits in it, which really made the taco. At least, we thought it was tripe since we couldn't really tell what was what just by looking - but came to tripe as a process of elimination. I'll be back to make sure it indeed was the tripe, and next time, I'll be trying the ear, and pork skin tacos! Tip - they don't tell you this, but if you use credit card, there's a processing fee - which I found out after the fact.

    Baby let me tell you this, Mexico restaurant is a gem. GO THERE NOW. Immediately and urgently. The servers are so kind, the food is delicious; and the cost is literally a no brained. I had about 5 different types of tacos-- I can't even beefing to describe how tasty they were. PLEASE GO.

    Suadero, Buche y Cabeza
    Oi W.

    This is the best Mexican restaurant in North Jersey! So many choices of tacos and very hard to find kinds. It feels like grannies are making them with centuries old recipes. We had: Cueritos - Pig Skin - this was interesting, I did like the gelatinous texture but i would have prefer it to be more tender Cabeza - Head meat - OMG it's so tender and delicious! Our favorite!!! Buche - Pork Stomach - it was ok, I've had better Suadero - meat from between the belly and the leg - this was tender and really good Al Pastor con Pina - this was good but I would not have the pineapple next time :D Lengua - Tongue - it was ok Tripa - Cow Stomach - this was good

    So this is actually a 3* rating but they're getting an extra star just because of how cheap the tacos are. It's a small restaurant but we were seated right away. Service was very slow. We ordered 5 steak, 4 carnitas, 2 brisket tacos and 1 cheese quesadilla. The server repeated the order to us and then we only ended up getting 4 steak and 2 carnitas tacos. By the time the server came back to us so we can ask for the rest, we really weren't hungry anymore. So the tacos themselves are hard to complain about because they were like $1.25. The tortillas are THICK. Almost bread like, so I ended up just taking off the second tortilla. And the meat was pretty flavorless but all the sauces are there on the table.

    Passed by randomly and decided to stop by with my laptop during the day and do some work…read more Turned out it was happy hour and the food options were incredible. I sat by the bar for convenience and the bartender Aisha was a gem. She gave some great recommendation and even better drinks. Happy I found the place, will def be going back.

    Unfortunately, Viva Margarita has gone completely downhill…read more My friends and I ordered drinks that were genuinely undrinkable they tasted like motor oil. They were, without exaggeration, the worst drinks we've ever been served. We politely asked if they could be remade and explained how bad they tasted. The waiter told us they could make new drinks but would still charge us for both the disgusting drinks and the replacements. He said he'd speak to the bartender, then disappeared and only returned when our food arrived, clearly trying to avoid the issue. When I asked if he spoke to the bartender, he casually said, "That's how the drinks are made," and that nothing could be done. At that point, we accepted the overpriced drinks and didn't even drink them. It was Taco Tuesday, which somehow made things worse. The tacos didn't meet even Taco Bell standards. To make matters unacceptable, I bit into a taco and pulled out a hair from my mouth. Based on how dismissive the waiter had already been, I hesitated to say anything and unfortunately, my instinct was right. When my friends told him about the hair, he laughed and said it was my hair, then claimed the chef is bald so it must be mine. I'm not sure how my hair would end up inside a taco, but he outright accused us of planting it there. After that, we were ignored for the rest of the night. The restaurant was practically empty, yet the service was hostile, dismissive, and unprofessional. The atmosphere felt dead and uncomfortable. This used to be a nice place, but that experience is completely gone. Between the awful drinks, low-quality food, and shockingly rude service, this was an all-around terrible experience. We won't be returning.
