Outstanding food. The food was wonderfully delicious. I had chicken tacos and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They were tasty, perfectly cooked, juicy and the toppings were flavored just the way I like them. The guacamole was delicious too. I was so happily surprised and I'm glad to support this family owned business. I look forward to visiting again. read more

This is absolutely, positively the best Mexican food around. Their tamales (weekends only) are so delicious, and a nice-sized portion, too. The salsas are fabulous. The tacos are plentiful and fresh! I can't say enough. The service is wonderful, too - everyone is cheerful and helpful. It's a fun place to catch a football match or the news, as well, but the TV is never too loud. read more

Went for a lunch meeting with my boss Glad she spoke Spanish and was able to order The place and service were great I had the tostadas and they were delicious If in the area and want a fast fresh tasty lunch a good spot read more

Great spot to grab tacos. I went in, ordered at the counter and food was brought out, along with the house salsas. I ordered lengua (tongue), tripa (tripe), y chivo (goat). The lengua taco was good, chopped but identifiable, and the tripa was A+ being a bit crunchy and flavorful. All of the tacos came topped the same with onions and cilantro (which was bearable to me and my cilantro gene). The tacos come with limes, a charred onion, and house sauces- the red is less spicy than the green. The sabado y domingo portion of the menu is just things that are available on Saturday and Sunday, such as the barbacoa de chivo, tamales, caldo de pensa, the foods that take time. I would have been tempted but then... tacos. On another weekend visit I would for sure want to try the barbacoa. I wasn't sure if it would be just a counter or not but there are a number of large tables in their space, and the staff will bring the food to you once you order. It's a ultilarian place trying to feed their people on the cheaper side while still giving them tasty food. Parking - it's all street. Tuck in your side mirrors. The streets are narrow. They take card and cash, but the prices are not listed on the menu. read more

The must try item on the menu is the birria tacos Dip them in consomé for the perfect bite. Thank me later!

Muy decepcionada. Pedí tacos de cabeza, cueritos y tripa, cosas que siempre pido aquí, pero la calidad esta vez fue muy mala. La cabeza estaba demasiado crujiente y llena de grasa, parecían puros sobrantes. Los cueritos estaban fritos y al morderlos salía pura grasa, nada que ver con cómo los preparan normalmente aquí. Encima, las tortillas estaban completamente empapadas en aceite. No sé si cambiaron de cocinero, pero algo definitivamente cambió y no está funcionando. Antes era un lugar muy bueno, ojalá lo arreglen. Very disappointed. I ordered cabeza, cueritos, and tripa tacos--items I've had here many times before--but the quality was way off. The cabeza was overly crispy and greasy, more like scraps than real pieces of meat. The cueritos were fried and released straight grease when bitten, which is not how they're usually served here. On top of that, the tortillas were completely soaked in oil. I'm not sure if the cooks changed, but whatever changed is not working. This place used to be great--hope they fix this. read more

these are one of the best tacos i've had in ny/nj. the flavor is so good where you don't even need sauces with it. this has been my go to spot for tacos and i will definitely be coming back. the cons however is that there isn't a menu with prices on it so you're basically ordering blindly. i would say that each taco is around $3 from my experiences. also, the steak and beef were a bit dry so i would recommend to skip those meats for tacos read more

The beef tacos were super delicious. The chicken tacos were very bland, but the green sauce helped. The green sauce had a tad of zing to it, it was tasty. The chorizo was good. My wife really liked some of the things I didn't really like. There was something delicious for both of us. We paid $18 for 6 tacos. I would definitely return. The kitchen seems to really know their business and did a great job. read more

My friends and I stopped to pick up these tacos after a day of drinking at a nearby winery. I was sold at the word tacos but these exceeded my expectations WOW. They were absolutely delicious. We ordered a mix of Al pastor, carnitas, and steak tacos. They were juicy, flavorful, and filling. The guac was so fresh and went perfectly with the meal. This will definitely be a go to taco spot for me in the future. read more

Easily the best tacos in the north East I kid you not. Sunday goat taco special is an absolute must. Prices are very fair and the meat and technique of cooking the tacos is pure artistry.

Taqueria. A restaurant that serves Tacos. Linguineria. A Yelper that serves the harsh yet beloved truth. These is the finest tacos in the area. It's not even close. Me love taco. These the tacos you want, trust me sucka. They travel well which is a game changer. Even good the next day. Double soft shell, just in case you drop anything into a well. Checks all the boxes. Bang for ya Buck in terms of quantity to price. Loads of protein options. Side of guac. Chips. Salsas. Onion bulbs. Cilantro. All made to order. Tortas. Oh man, oh man. Dios Mio, Gracias!!! Me siento picante. It be getting hawtttt in here. Linguini knows Espanol? Linguinis knows all. Remain on your toes in my presence and maybe you'll soak up some of my effervescence. The establishment gives a true authentic experience to those craving authenticity in a world filled with fraud and impurity. This feeling is addicting. It made me posthumously recognize, appreciate and ponder the significance of Taco Tuesday. A day that is synonymous for tounging down some tacos. All ages, all walks of life. But there's a catch. Unlike other rambunctious and weightless modern traditions, this one is synonymous because it's actually followed. So many people actually eat tacos on Tuesdays. It's loony to think about. They've penetrated our minds. Through our eagle eyes, our noble noses and our enigmatic esophagi. Who started Taco Tuesday? Were people eating tacos on Tuesdays prior to the inception of the tradition? Or is it peak marketing strategy. Business Guy. The Four P's... I know them, I live them. Whatever. It's not worth thinking about who'll end it.... For an end isn't in sight. Nor should we wish the end of glory, this life is beautiful in every sense of the word. We are blessed creatures. Souls of paradise. Roll the dice on glory my friends. Apologies for the SOH CAH TOA Tangent I'm just a curious cat trynna make sense out of the senseless. Centless. Sono Al Verde. I'm running dry. Why? Why me? I'm just a man without a plan. I need a meeting with the money man.... Back to the Tacos! ESPN 30 for 30: Linguini and the Taco Challenge. I'm putting back 30 of these in 30 minutes with ease. Double shell and all. And it'll be joyous for I, and joyous for they watching. No vomit. Like this vomit of words I put together today. What do we think about hard shell tacos? Alright, what am I doing. Shameful performance LB. I'll be back stronger than ever soon enough. Stay Sharp Signora/Signor. read more

Best tacos in the Hudson valley hands down! I drive an hour to get here and it's so worth it

Tacos have been spectacular since day 1 (carnitas in particular). Salsa verde is excellent

Came here on a whim cause I've seen it packed one night. I ordered a bistec (steak) torta (Mexican sandwich) it was sooo good! I'd rather come here and order this food from now on than get fast food. The lady behind the counter was nice. Will come here again! read more

Love the food!!! We came because the place was recommended to us by some friends and sure enough the food did not disappoint. I got a steak taco, Al pastor taco and a tripa taco. The tripe one was my favorite! They were all super super good and the salsas were good! The red one was my favorite. The service was fast and super good, they came to check on us and got things to us relatively fast. I don't want to judge the place just cause it looks like they just moved to that location. But honestly it didn't even matter the food was super good! The only only thing is I got a margarita and it was a pre mix one which I didn't like so I didn't end up drinking it. However! The food amazing. read more

Cheap, delicious tacos just like they're supposed to be! I was HANGRY on my drive back to the city and running into ridiculous amounts of traffic, so I desperately needed sustenance. I knew I could find something around Suffern as a NY-NJ border hub. Thankfully, a few Yelpers have stumbled upon this place and shared the insider knowledge. It's basically a plain old cafeteria style joint. Very few decorations. Just frills-free tables, chairs, high chairs along the counter, drinks fridges, and TV's that, sí, are only showing fútbol. The kitchen is wide open and you can see everyone churning out the many kinds of tacos and a few other platos they offer, such as gorditas, quesadillas, and tortas. You know this place is legit when the boring chicken, steak, and pork meat tacos are outnumbered by meat options such as pig head, tongue, and ear that most gringos (including myself!) might be afraid of. I had the steak/bistec, goat/chivo, and al pastor tacos as well as a chicken tamale; weekend special treat. Everything was YUMMY. The meat was some of the best I've had outside of California. The tortillas were bomb and fresh off the grill since they make so many. The cilantro and onions were popping. While there aren't additional frills like guac that my bougie taco eating self might crave, I'm grateful I was blessed with these "for the people, by the people" versions, especially in my time of hunger. This place is not for foodies to overrun. It's simply a great pit stop for visitors craving tacos, and a regular spot for locals that want an affordable, filling taste of home. As I drive through Suffern fairly often though, I may start to count myself as a regular now! :) read more

I was looking for a bite to eat after a long day of motorcycle adventures with Benedict C. when we came across Taqueria America. It looked like a hole in the wall, so I was hoping it would be authentic, and it was. The inside was clean, and there was a lot of seating at their hilariously fake marble tables. The kitchen is open air, and you have full view of it from the counter where you order. The staff speaks English which is convenient. I obviously ordered tacos, since this place is a taqueria. I got the cueritos (pork skin), cabeza (pork head), chivo (goat), and orejas (pig ears) tacos, since they are not commonly available. I did not really like the bland gelatinous texture of the orejas tacos. I much prefer other methods of preparation of pig ears. This was my first time having a chivo taco as well. I'm a big fan of goat meat, and the simple preparation allowed the gamy flavor to shine through. I've had cabeza (head) tacos before, but they're usually beef. The pork head tacos were much fattier, and the heavy seasoning tasted great. The cueritos tacos were probably my favorite. I'm surprised more taquerias have not thought to make pork skin tacos. They were salty, fatty, and crunchy, all the staples of something delicious. The salsas went well with all the tacos, the green being more spicy and the red having more a smoky flavor. The tacos were a little smaller than average, but at $2.00 a piece, it's pretty fair. read more

Siento que la calidad de aquí ha bajado mucho. We've come here for years and it's changed completely. The taste and quality of the food is subpar. The tortillas break and are extremely greasy. The customer service is non existent. They don't use gloves or hair nets when dealing with food. It's extremely dirty (including the bathroom). We invited a group of friends to eat here and we apologized to them for having recommended this place. We were actually embarrassed. read more

We had a to go order, and one word is sufficient to describe the food...AWESOME!!! We had tacos de carnitas, they were delicious. I live in an area where Mexican food abounds, so that speaks volumes for the flavor of their food. The service was good and relatively quick since there were several orders. We ate outside since we were in a hurry , and I personally did not enter the restaurant, somI can't vouch for the ambiance. We had a very good experience here. read more

Tacos were great. Had the beef tripe and steak tacos. For $3 a taco, it's great deal. When you walk in, right away you can tell it's authentic!!! Will be back again soon. read more

A. . .maz. . . ing! I have heard about this place for years from a number of different friends but since I live about 45 minutes away I have not been able to get here until now. Well, let me tell you it was worth the drive. I think that these are hands down the best tacos that I have had outside of Mexico. If you have had Tacos in Mexico you know what I'm talking about. This place is totally legit. I had beef, carnitas, and chorizo tacos. All were amazing. The guacamole was perfection. The hot sauce was totally on point. Everything exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be back. . .I have relatives close by. The only disappointment was that they had already run out of "Al pastor" . . . I'll just have to go back and try those soon. Stop looking for another place and go here now! read more

Coming from a pure Mexican Family. Mexican food has always been something I took great pride in. Today as I came straight from work, I came across a rare restaurant that I haven't seen before Taqueria America; as someone's who loves being spontaneous, I decided to go ahead an enjoy the unexpected.... and let me tell you, it was unexpected. Straight of the bat, the door was so heavy to just open, it seemed as if I was going into a gym instead of a restaurant. Going in I was unsure if we had to wait for our server or go ahead an order. After waiting for a few minutes we asked the lady in the front what the deal was and as expected we had to wait. (Now here comes the unexpected) As we waited a few more minutes for our server to come and introduce himself, by my surprise it was an 11 year old kid, which I found kind of funny but unique and interesting at the same time.... and may I say this has to be the first restaurant that I have ever been where my server was younger than 16 and used a pen and napkin to take my order. It was so bizarre but at the same time so unique. This restaurant reminds me back to the time I went to Oaxaca Mexico in 2013. It gave me such a pure authentic vibe. The smell of the beef being cooked right in front of me, traditional ranchera playing on top of me, and oh yes I forgot- the bums drunk and out of their own sanity hiding corona under the table. I had such a nostalgic reflection, in which I felt like I was back home; reminiscing the time my uncle took my to his own restaurant. I ordered a dish called Torta Cubana. Which for me had to be one of the biggest tortas I have eaten in a while. It came fairly fast, and the sight of seeing it was satisfying. It wasn't the worst torta I ate but wasn't the best neither. The cheese wasn't melted enough and unfortunately no creamy avocado. However I must say it was pretty delicious, but it can vary for someone who is more picky (not me I eat everything and anything!!!). However this authentic Mexican inspired dish wasn't so inspiring at the end. It didn't feel the same, there was no day-altering richness that I was used to. I recommend Taquerias America for someone's who's looking for a quick meal. I definitely would not bring my family or my date here, but if I ever do get hungry and need something delicious and fast, then I would come to pick up and leave.(I'm also not sure if they deliver because if they do then that could be something I would be interested in). The only think I disliked was the inside, certainly not the fanciest and something a tourist would not find appealing but something maybe a local native might want to visit. I'm not as biased nor am I so negative. I would give it a 2/5, but the kid that was serving us just made my day, never seen someone so young and ambitious. So at the end a 3/5 is what my final score is. read more

Best Restaurant in Suffern. Clean, quality tacos for cheap. If you really know what's up, you'll try a torta. They'll put like a whole avocado on it, scooped from the shell, and fresh mozzarella which they barely melt. That's the best. The colder cheese in the warm sandwich with the fresh tomato and avocado, plus the verde salsa on top is the best. I'd try a bistec quesadilla too. The bistec is salty and amazing with the cheese. Love the women who make the food and all the family that works for them. Amazing hidden gem and they have such a loyal customer base. Definitely worth a try. read more

Delicious is the only word to use when describing the food here. Genuine Mexican food made the way it's supposed to be made. It's not fancy but rather more bare bones than anything else but let that not disuade you from walking in and ordering what has to be the best tacos you can get. This isn't Taco Bell fare, it's tacos the way they're meant to be prepared and served. I honestly can't stop raving about it. They had a second restaurant in Nanuet that unfortunately it closed but I'll gladly take a ride to Suffern, 20-25 minutes away just to munch on their exquisite tacos. I can not express enough just how good the food is. read more

Came here with a group post hike, and we were all starving. This is honestly a great taco place, especially a great bang for your buck. Tacos are $2 each, with some of them being $2.50, but that's way cheaper than the overpriced and average tasting ones you can get in a place like NYC. The best ones by far are the pork skin(cueritos) and the pork head (cabeza), and I'd highly recommend! For 6 tacos and a drink, I paid $17, and left very satisfied and happy. Support local businesses, especially great ones like this one. read more

FRESH TACOS! This place is incredibly authentic and the tacos are as good as it gets! Staff is friendly and helpful; but a bit disorganized. However, this doesn't really take away from the experience whatsoever. I also love how it's a family run business - makes me want to support it even more. Would not mind going back for more tacos, I definitely recommend! read more

"Hmm Taqueria America. Looks pretty ghetto. Must be good, let's go." That's what my brother said to me as we rode through downtown Suffern in search of a spot to eat. As it turns out, my brother was right. Taqueria America was indeed quite good. I ordered the torta de pierna (pork leg sandwich) while he opted to sample 4 different tacos: cueritos (pork skin), cabeza (pork head), chivo (goat), & orejas (pig ears). Luckily for me my brother's eyes were bigger than his stomach so I got to try each of his tacos. The torta was very tasty. It was served on a crusty white bread that soaked up the juices of the other ingredients while providing a satisfying crunch. The pork was almost shredded and tasted a bit like ham cold cuts but a lot better. I enjoyed the texture of it very much. There were a lot of other ingredients and my tongue is certainly not trained enough to discern them all, but believe me, they were very good. I did get some avocado and there was a good amount of chili peppers to provide some welcome heat. To top it all off there was a generous helping of cheese. I'd certainly have the sandwich again. The tacos were very delicious as well but I'd pass on the orejas if I were to come back. Now I do enjoy pig ears, but I was not a fan of the way these particular ones were prepared. I prefer my pig ears grilled or perhaps fried but these were cooked in such a way that they were chewy and cartilaginous. The taste was there but the texture was a miss. Now the other three tacos were major hits for me. My favorite would have to be a toss up between the cueritos and the cabeza but the chivo was still excellent. The chivo had a distinct flavor without being gamey as goat sometimes can be. The cabeza was nice and fatty. This kept the meat juicy and full of flavor. Now the cueritos were certainly something special. I had never had pork skin tacos up to this point and if they're normally this good it's a sin that I haven't. More places need to serve cueritos tacos. The way the skin was cooked reminded me of the Filipino dish sisig. It was just oozing with flavor and some crispyness here and there. All the tacos had a good amount of cilantro which I like, and the tortillas were par for the course. Overall the service was good and the place looked clean (albeit a bit bare). I just wish they served chips and salsa with your order. I wouldn't mind returning next time I'm in the area. read more

For what it is, this place is four stars. Not fancy but unbelievably fresh tacos. Staff very pleasant. Clientele mostly Hispanic as you would assume. If you are not Hispanic and a white American like me, do not hesitate to go try this place. Very friendly and accommodating. I don't speak Spanish and I have no problem ordering food. Don't expect guacamole made table side-this is not that kind of place. If you want to experience a true taqueria, this is the place! As an aside, this place is the epitome of the American dream. The guy who owns it started making tacos in the back of a grocery store down the block In what was basically a storeroom and then hand built this new place. A true testament to the Hispanic entrepreneurial spirit. Bravo! read more

This is authentic! After living in Mexico and then California, I've been looking for a place here that serves Tacos true to the Mexican way. This is it! Not fancy, but delicious!

Taqueria America - 4 awesome Tacos: Beef, chicken, carnitas, goat - Tacos Near Me - Suffern, New York

They over charge so much! i was told $50 but was charged $10 more. They do not post prices on the menu nor anywhere else.

It was a little confusing when we entered so we had to ask if we could sit to order or if we ordered and could bring our food to an open table. They can do either so we sat. The waiter came over pretty quickly after and he was nice and told us about the menu. The food itself is why I'm giving this a lower rating. We got a variety of tacos - the corn tortilla was good but the meat itself was pretty bland. The best thing was the guac and homemade chips, we definitely recommend those! read more

Out of towner here, just visiting for work. Saw the ratings and thought I would give it a try. Traveling as i do, I have had tacos from all over - in Mexico, in Texas and Cali and others.
