The guy even confirmed upon pick up that the Al pastor tacos had no cilantro or onions. I guess this is their interpretation of that. I had to pick it all apart.

First time at Taco Tastic and I decided to try something simple, so I went with the rice and beans…read more Unfortunately, this is easily the worst rice and beans I've ever had anywhere -- even Taco Bell does it better. There was absolutely no flavor: no seasoning in the rice, no juice or taste from the beans, nothing. It was honestly unbearable to eat. Even the green salsa they provided had no spice or flavor at all. It was $3 per side, $6 total, and I couldn't even finish it. As a Puerto Rican, this is honestly embarrassing. The only positive thing I can say is that the guy cooking was nice.

This was our third visit to El Familiar. Today was Father's Day 2026…read more First, my daughter had made reservations for 15. They didn't hesitate. We showed up at 12:30 pm. We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.

I ordered the chicken fajitas which come with rice and beans. And also tortillas they do give you the option if you want corn or the other tortillas which is great.

Also the food came out in the blink of an eye. The waiter is also very nice and friendly and well presented.

How on earth in our Yelp Universe, am I the first to review this gem, an absolutely wonderful…read morelittle restaurant with really delicious Mexican food? But here I am, sharing the goods on a neighborhood restaurant that you have to try. My order was to-go, but they have tables to eat there if you want, and the ambiance is casual. They also offer sandwiches and pizza, but my reviews is strictly for the Mexican food they offer. If you know my reviews, then you know my dilemma with finding good Mexican food here in NJ, its far and few between, so I'm happy to report, I have found a place that I'll be visiting often. If you're ever craving Mexican food??! Like our family does, then, that's a yes, and ALWAYS, is probably the answer.. so I decided to stop here for a family "to-go" order. Taco order is 4 tacos your choice, I ordered 1 carnitas, 1 chicken, and 2 birria. My family loves chicken wings, so while I was at it, I ordered 6 to share.. and you know you have to have Jarrito's, so 4 bottles added. All orders were packed very well for travel and nothing spilled they use (earthchoice) containers. Service was friendly, fast and the restaurant is clea. Chicken tacos - meat was juicy, not dry, lots of flavor and little crispy bits from the grill, seasoned well and not overly salty like some places, plenty of chicken in each taco. Carnitas tacos- were a hit as well. Sometimes at restaurants, you'll get a good taco or two, but then lots of fat or the meat is dry and burnt, these carnita tacos had plenty of meat for each bite, definitely a winner, nothing burnt, I really liked them. Birria tacos - these two orders were gone so fast!! I'm lucky i got to even try them. Next time I'll have to buy an additional order. Some might like lots of dipping broth and at times I do too, but as we all know, sometimes we can't finish it, I'm happy to say, they give plenty of flavorful broth to dip all 4 tacos in, and there is enough left for a sip or two after you're all done. They were not greasy or tough, tender and had good bite. Family and I really enjoyed our lunch, great price for the food and I am very happy to support our local businesses here. Stop by its on the corner, private parking as well.
