    Chicken Quesadilla
    Jonathan M.

    Another good meal here. The salsa was good, nice with a hint of sweetness. The quesadillas looked awesome and everyone seemed to enjoy them. However, they did say the texture of the chicken was a bit odd. The burrito hit the spot for my friend, complete with a nice side salad. The steak fajitas were on point. The steak was a bit tough, but overall still really good. Huge portion may put you in a food coma. Oddly enough, the guacamole, although good, tasted like someone accidentally spilt a ton of salt into it.

    I called and was coursed out by the attendant..she blamed me bc I spoke English to her...am glad other businesses are open up!

    So this evening I ordered my regular order..4 fish tacos and I received 3..I called back and the attendant blamed me bc I spoke English to her n not Spanish...in my opinion phone attendant should be fully bilingual..look at what I received.. so glad other restaurants are opening up in the hood!

    I got the yummy chicken quesadilla! I think this place gets a bad rep.... but it should be tried out! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!!

    I tried so many burritos around this area, but this burrito was not as good as others. It's not bad but its just mediocre.

    Stopped by here for a quick lunch with my sister before heading back to work. It was Taco Tuesday…read moreso we had to celebrate accordingly and El Ranchero is the perfect spot because they throw in an extra taco on Tuesdays as part of their deal! The service was great. Our server was very on top of her stuff, making sure we had everything we needed and we were enjoying the food. She even let us practice our Spanish with her when ordering! My sister ordered the chicken tinga tacos and I ordered the beef birria. Both taco orders came with 5 tacos (because of the deal, it is typically 4), onions, cilantro, lime, and radish. Don't sleep on the radish, it my favorite part to add a nice crunch! Both meats were very flavorful and tender. They also gave us green and hot salsa on the side (green was my fave) and the birria tacos came with some delicious consommé for dipping. We also ordered guac and chips as an appetizer which was very fresh, and our favorite jarritos flavors to drink. It's decorated very nicely inside - no frills, a few tables and chairs inside for dining in and even a bar-style area with stools for those dining by themselves. They also offer takeout of course, but I honestly enjoyed sitting down because everything was very quick and they took great care of us. We walked, but there is only street parking so keep that in mind when traveling here.

    Was specifically on the hunt for queso enchiladas verde in Jersey City. No - not the ones you get…read moreat fancy Mexican restaurants, but the one you get at the hole in the wall takeout spots that aren't always located in the most gentrified parts of town. El Rancho Taqueria fits the bill. Placed an order for takeout and trekked 10 mins (in timbs lol) to pickup the food and eat it in the comforts of home. This fit my nearly 6 year craving to the T. The melted queso and heat of the verde sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were plentiful, but not too much. Enchiladas were cooked well. Couldn't ask for more - I found my spot! For under $12, can't ask for more.

    It's a solid bar with good tacos and margaritas. The tacos come out very hot but they are so…read moreflavorful. The service was great and the waitress was attentive and quick. The margaritas have good kick to them(especially the regular Margarita). The ambiance is what you would expect from a dive bar, grungy and dark. Definitely recommended if you're in the area. 4 stars.

    I love everything about Taqueria except for the exceptionally long wait times on the weekends. But…read moreit's because the food, the drinks and the vibes are so incredible that you kind of don't mind the wait. I've waited every time I've come but last weekend was by far the longest. We put our names down around 7:30, grabbed a few margaritas from the bar inside and waited outside on the sidewalk for about an hour and a half. A couple tips to make your wait bearable! -If you are staying close by, grab some margaritas at the bar and hang out. -If your wait time is expected to be over an hour, I promise it won't be less than that so you might as well walk around or grab drinks elsewhere and come back. After we finally got in, we were seated in the enclosed back patio space (it's still cold out, but this is usually a lovely spot for dinner during the warmer months). Get the guac! We got a medley of a bunch of different tacos but my favorite was the fish and the lengua. Loved everything and have declared every time that I leave that those are the best tacos in the area. Worth the wait (to an extent) but just go on a weeknight if ya can!

    For living in NJ for nearly my entire life, I never stepped foot inside a Tacoria. Now living in…read moreJersey City, I couldn't avoid seeing it only a couple streets away from where I live. Looking for a quick dinner, I decided to come here on a whim. Because it was raining pretty decently, I opted to eat inside. There's a small size dining area in the back, though the ordering area and hallway leading there is a bit narrow. Anyhow, for those who are new, the concept is similar to Chipotle, except that they create everything for you behind the scenes. I basically opted for the burrito bowl except with the vegan chorizo (Tacorizo). Before adding the sauces, the Tacorizo had a good amount of heat to it. I simply added the two mildest sauces and it was just enough. Bowl tasted great and it was obviously very filling. Good spot for a quick bite.

    S/o to the Yelp event for sponsoring some of my food (cuz obviously you gotta get more when you…read morecan, duh!). That being said, the habanero sweet orange sauce and the elite corn they have from the sides menu... Best things I ate there! I don't even know what that orange mayo like sauce was on that corn but it made me sad knowing I only had two cute baby corns to eat, I just wanted to keep getting kernels in my teeth for that cob. And the habanero sauce, was downright slurpable. I didn't bother drizzling when you can just take a shot of it after every bite of either taco, burrito, whatever you get. Had to separate this paragraph for the tacos I got. I got 4 tacos. A pollo pastor, a shredded chicken, regular pollo, and regular carne asada. Now pollo and carne asada, nothing too special. Standard but with the way they sauce it and present it, I can say solid taco. The pollo pastor...as someone who can't eat pork, this was a blast to eat. They use mini chunk pineapple and put a good amount of condiments to balance it all out. Chicken not dry and super flavorful. Also enjoy the single tortilla over double. Less carbs. Now that shredded chicken. While not dry, I don't know where that bite was taking me. I just wasn't feeling it and I can't pinpoint why. I don't know if it's the extra stuff on top of it, or the fact that the corn was my fave but the side sauces didn't help. I'd def come back for the other 3 but not that shredded one. That limonada was sooooo good and refreshing! I thought I'd get horchata when I had the chance but because that limonada was hitting right, didn't even bother. And the fact it's like unlimited refills if you get a drink, totally worth it! Overall, I appreciate the patience of the manager and cashier. They were really nice and helpful. The interior was sick too. Repurpose lockers for chairs. Baseball stadium chairs. Definitely tight but just right. I was struggling finding spots for Mexican food, I have a pretty high standard for it, but I'll give this a solid/perfection score lol

Anyhow, Los Cuernos is one of the few located conveniently on Washington Blvd. It's a Mexican Restaurant true-and-true, with a relatively tight bar area. The bar itself maybe seats about 10 and there are a few tables behind it. It's a bit dimly lit, but if the doors are open you can get a nice little breeze and even some sunlight. Anyhow, their happy hour specials ($5 for the beers on tap) is pretty good. You also get chips and salsa included so you can't ask too much more. Also, this is a rare Los Angeles bar (specially East LA) in NYC and definitely the only one in Jersey City (and probably NJ). That's quite rare. Lots of Dodgers memorabilia as well as a few Lakers photos hanging across the bar.
