Some of the better tacos in NJ . The whole strip has good spots. Guy with glasses at the check out counter can come off a bit condescending. read more

Taqueria Los Amigos VM - Tacos de Lengua , Tacos de Carnitas - Tacos Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

We were in the area and looking for a quick lunch. I'd never hear of Taqueria Los Amigos but saw the great reviews on Yelp and had to try it. It feels very authentic when you walk in. You get 4 tacos for $11. I tried the carnitas, 2 al pastor, and steak. The steak was a bit dry and unseasoned - but the carnitas and al Astor were amazing. I loved they served it with braised onions. It also comes with limes, radish, and salsa. Will definitely be back for carnitas and al pastor! read more

It's super popular and packed with people. There's little to no parking in the area and the surrounding area is a little shady. There's four tacos per order and the meat is great. It's easy to order and seating is first come first serve. The area is clean and there's a bathroom in the back. I highly recommend getting tacos here. I wish there was agua fresca here read more

Hold up... four tacos for $11? Sign me up neeeeoooooow. This taco spot is the definition of a hidden gem. It's located in a small complex on Passaic's bustling Main Street. It shares a parking lot with other businesses, but it's EXTREMELY tight. You'll save yourself a headache if you park on the nearby streets. If you can't speak Spanish, no te preocupes ;) They have employees that speak English. The menu is as straightforward as it gets. They only sell tacos here with 8 different meat options. You can choose any four for $11. You then have the option of garnishing it with onions, cilantro, and radish. They give you fresh limes, hot sauce, and green sauce on the side. I ordered: chicken, beef, carnitas (fried pork), al pastor (marinated pork). The tacos aren't gigantic, but they give you generous portions of meat. When I say generous, I mean in the "meat is spilling off of the tortilla" kind of generous. Everything is freshly made and prepared to order. They continuously cook the meat throughout the day so you won't have to worry about dryness or staleness. No oils or grease, just tender, juicy meat! The tortillas are warm and fluffy! The winner here is definitely the AL PASTOR, with the carnitas coming in second place. They were marinated so well and the pineapple was the perfect touch. The chicken and beef were good too, but they didn't stand out compared to the pork. I'm happy I found this spot :') read more

A random find turns out to be gold! This place has the best tacos, few choices but doesn't matter because it's so damn good. 4 tacos for $10, 1 taco $3.. so do yourself a favor and just get 4, they are small anyways. Every order comes with an onion, roasted perfectly and I can only handle the green salsa which is spicy already, can't imagine the red one. Only issue is parking is nearly impossible, the restaurant shares its small lot with other business so you'll be lucky to find one, better luck trying to park on the street but don't let that stop you from coming and trying. Staff works hard to move fast and is helpful and friendly even if you don't speak Spanish. read more

Taqueria Los Amigos VM - Suadero & al pastor - Tacos Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

Great spot! Very authentic, they have all the meats behind glass so you can see before ordering. Ordering can be a little confusing and intimidating the first time, especially if you don't speak Spanish. They have guys that speak English which you will need. You order from each of the meat sections. So if you want chicken you go to that guy with a to go box and if you want steak you go to that guy. Very well put together operation. Now for the food itself. Exceptional! Comes with sauces and onions and they are all filled nicely. The pastor was really good but the chicken to me was just ok. The price: also fantastic, you get 4 tacos for $11 which is a steal. This is definitely on my rotation for tacos. Los gueros used to be good and feel authentic but now with all locations it's overpriced and not great. Do yourself a favor and stop in Los Amigos for some delicious tacos. read more

I think I may have just found my new go-to taco spot. They only serve tacos here, so you know it's gotta be legit. That's where they spend all their time and focus. We pretty much tried one of each taco, except the suadero (beef) and the chicken. Hubby went and ordered in person, for takeout. We had lengua, longaniza, tripe, carnitas, al pastor, and pork skin. My favorites were the pork skin, al pastor, and longaniza. There were some that we ordered more than one of but we realized they gave us something else in place of it, so just beware of that. The tacos come with these mini grilled onions. I usually like onions but these lacked any sort of flavor. The salsas that the tacos come with were good, including an avocado-based (?) one. Some tacos didn't need any sauce but some needed an extra little something and the salsas were perfect for this. They serve radishes on the side, which I usually don't eat because they're bitter but they were actually fresh here. We didn't eat the tacos until we reheated them maybe an hour or two later but they were still delicious. Will definitely have to dine in next time for the full experience. And the best part? 4 tacos for $11!! read more

Been here a couple times and they're good! I'm from LA so finding good tacos is not easy, but these are the best I've found so far in Jersey.

Authentic Mexican Tacos! Simple yet the best tacos in town at a great price! Always fresh and delicious-- never had a bad experience.

Tucked in a strip mall off of Main Avenue in Passaic, this establishment only serves authentic Mexican tacos. I came today to Taqueria Los Amigos as a first timer for lunch and managed to grab a parking spot, but at times it can be challenging as the lot is tight. Upon entering, the interior is big, with a lot of Mexican farm vibes, and clean. There were only a few high-top tables for indoor dining. For $10, depending on the kind of tacos you order, the staff will give you four small soft shell tacos on a sizable plate with two or three small onions. There's a glass window in the front where you can see how the tacos are made and cooked. I decided on the beef (sundero), longaniza (Mexican sausage), Al pastor (marinated pork) and pollo (chicken), washing it down with soda Jarritos (Tamarind). Tacos were delicious, made fresh, and tasty with their filling. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, cash only, and inexpensive, which I can recommend. read more

We were here because we saw 5 stars .set up looks authentic and the style looks authentic. Very BLAND food . If u notice there were salt packages everywhere . Lack of flavor . But it looks flavorful . Red salsa was not spicy at all . More like blended tostados salsas . Very disappointing . The tripas was the only meat with flavor . El pastor and suadero had no flavor whatsoever so ever .wont be coming read more

The food was great! It had enough meat and wasn't covered in grease, the lemons were very juicy and fresh and nicely packaged in its own bag.

The food was very good. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The facility and bathrooms were clean. The pricing was reasonable. The only down side is I can see how parking could be difficult. read more

This is how a taco place should be. 4 taco for 10 dollars. Well lit and clean place. Good made right in front of you. The staff is friendly and can help in English. They give you sauces and peppers. Good seating area so good to sit in there also. They are in a strip mall so small parking. Street parking also not too bad. read more

Some say that Tacos predates the arrival of Spanish people in Mexico. Others say that the word was first used by Silver Miners in Mexico for explosive plugs (gunpowder wrapped in paper). It is a small corn/wheat tortilla filled with meat/seafood and garnished with condiments for additional flavor. Tacos are delicious and filling. From a perspective they seem extremely easy to make, but there is a difference between a good taco and just a mundane one. Around Montclair NJ, we have several good places for Tacos, but no one has the excellence or the setup of TAQUERIA LOS AMIGOS @ 822 Main Ave Passaic, NJ. You see the Tacos being made and there are different stations for different items. Everything is super fresh. The place is clean, and the service is fast (see video below). There is parking and there is seating. The tacos are so good that I have stopped going elsewhere. This is it, this is the holy grail of Tacos. read more

A 4.7 is too low for an average score. Perfect taco place. Nothing fancy. $10 for 4 tacos.

This is now one of my favs... you know you're in for good tacos when no one speaks English! They only serve tacos- that's it. The flavors are delicious, and service is quick. It's served kind of cafeteria lunch style. You grab a plate and hand it to them with your order and they hand you back your tacos. We tried the marinated pork, chicken, beef and tripe. The chicken was dry and bland which was to be expected. All the others were delicious! 4 tacos for $10. Be ready for spicy! Restaurant is very clean and decorated in a fun way. Service was efficient and there's a good variety of drinks... I get/love the one food model but I would love a side of rice and beans . But I'll be back for sure anyway! read more

The best tacos I have ever had in the east coast! Service is quick and efficient and the seating is plenty even when they're busy. The next best thing about this place is parking for sure. read more

Best...Tacos...Ever!! Been going here since the prices were cheaper...now $10 for 4 but it is still worth it. Hopefully it doesn't go up again. :) read more

Definitely the best tacos in passaic!!! I've tried the Al pastor, cueritos, carnitas and the meats have such great seasoning. A must!!

I don't want to write a review because of this place gets too busy, then I won't have a spot to grab quick cheap tacos

This was recommended by 1st gen Mexican about authentic food. She recommended this place. Wow. You see the food being prepared and cooked. You can tell they have been cooking for hours. This is authentic. Only tacos. We ended up eating round after round of all the tacos on the menu. Cilantro, onion, grilled spring onion, lime, red/ green hot sauces. Wow Super clean with an upstairs level. Mexican sodas. Nice employees answering questions and you can see them cleaning constantly. read more

Definitely one of the best taco places I've been too! They recommend their most ordered tacos and their personal favs before we got ours! They added a few pieces of pineapple to their Al pastor and I loved it. Never thought I'd love pineapple on my taco but I did! The pricing is great! 4 tacos for $9! The staff is friendly and have no problem adding a little more of something when you want it. You'll definitely see me back here soon! read more
