Delicious authentic tacos, though on the pricier side. Around $15 for 3 tacos... You pick your meat, and the toppings (salsa, onions, cilantro, tomatoes etc..) are available for you to pick on the side. Radishes are also available for a nice palette cleanser. We got the al pastor and lengue tacos. This al pastor did not come with pineapples, but the meat was juicy regardless. The lengue tacos were on the drier side but still had a nice chew and were flavored ok. Not the best tacos I've had (I'd say Cali does them better and cheaper), but still a good option in northwest Jersey! read more

Taqueria Pancho Villa - Mexican Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

Summary: A great place to go for tasty tacos! Loved their steak and pulled pork tacos! Street parking. Charge more for credit cards. Dining furniture is bulky and awkward to sit in. My husband and I visited this place for the first time the other night. We ordered their Steak and pulled (fried) pork tacos. The steak came in an order of 4 tacos for $11.50 and the pulled pork came in an order of 5 for $11.50. Coming out of the kitchen are just the flour tortillas with the meats on them. They have a toppings bar for you to add as many toppings and sauces you'd like. We enjoyed our tacos, although my husband felt it was a bit too oily. We also ordered mango milkshakes. They were nothing special. Better to stick with the Jarritos sodas next time. When the check came, they had 2 different totals listed: cash or credit. They pretty much put it on the customer to pay for the merchant credit fee. It wasn't as if we got a discount for using cash, it was how much everything costs anyway. Wait staff was friendly. It did take some time to get our check, probably because it was busy on a Saturday night. read more

When my mother got her food she was amazed by how good the food looked but then when she took the first bite, she found a hair in her tacos, she went and asked for a replace, when the food comes and takes another bite she found another longer hair in the food, she got so upset she sat down and didn't eat for the rest of the night, although on my side the food was good, i feel like service could have been better knowing that the owner tried blaming my mother on putting hair in her food. This is unacceptable and they still charged us for the food she didn't eat or even get back. This is unacceptable behavior and should more careful with there food read more

Tried out this place as I was in the area. It's on the corner off a semi busy street with no parking lot but there did appear to ample free street parking when I visited. Atmosphere seemed pretty legit. Most people speaking Spanish, nice setup for salsa, cilantro, onions etc Taco price was very reasonable. And they were huge. I had 5 and was really stuffed. Could've easily done 3 or 4. I'm usually a carne taco guy but decided to try Al pastor based on the yelp reviews and was very pleased as it was extremely flavorful. Beef was also good. Next time I will try goat. Only complaint is that we asked for water and they gave us water bottles without providing a tap water option. Fortunately the bottles were only 1.5. read more

Ordered: Tacos De Birria Con Caldo (~$16) Jarritos Soda (~$4): mango flavor Aya's take: I still think about these birria tacos. Ever since the birria hype got real, I've had many birria tacos and these were definitely in the top 5! The birria and consommé are full of flavor. The tortilla was soaked with consommé yet crispy on the outside and the melted cheese on the inside took these tacos to the next level. They have a toppings bar where you go up to the counter once you get your order to get sauces, onions, cilantro, radishes, limes, and more. This meal truly hit the spot. Stop what you're doing and RUN here. Also FYI, they do accept credit cards! read more

Great value for the money. Bursting with flavor. Tortillas are made fresh and come out piping hot. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking authentic central Mexico food. Salsa bar has all the important ingredients. read more

Ordered from here a few times via door dash. 1. They literally give you 1 small cup of salsa for 10 tacos 2. Meat is cheap and super fatty- not good at all. Considering they don't provide adequate cilantro and salsa - you have no choice to eat the tacos plain and they are pretty gross. 3. There was cilantro inside my horchata last order which tells me they have quality issues. Would not order from here again. read more

We came here for a quick lunch with some friends. Very cute hidden gem! The tacos are very authentic & flavorful. We ordered guacamole with chips, tacos al pastor, my husband got birria tacos & our friends got carnitas. Everything came out delicious. There is a small bar where your food comes out with sauces, jalapenos, cilantro, onions etc so you can add-on what you like. A lot of locals come here & it was packed on a saturday at 2 . Highly recommend! read more

Fui a Taquería Pancho Villa y tuve una experiencia terrible. Las tortillas estaban frías y duras, y tuve que esperar muchísimo tiempo para que me sirvieran la comida. Además, pagué por guacamole y nunca me lo trajeron. El sabor de la carne era realmente malo. No recomiendo este lugar en absoluto. HORRIBLE!!!! read more

Los mejores tacos del mundo todos The best tacos in the world, I've tried all flavors there. Taco bar w alllll the condiments. Good prices. Good natural juices and always great service. Favorite place in Dover read more

Delicious Mexican Food! Tacos taste fresh and guac is amazing. The servers are nice and love that you can add your own toppings.

Yelp found his gem for me while searching for somewhere to eat near the activity that we were attending. Great food and attentive staff. When you order tacos they bring them out plain and you have to go into their mini taco toppings buffet and add the toppings of your choice, which is amazing because you can customize each taco. Their Mexican tortilla soup was amazing and so filling. Would go back if I was in the area. Please beware that this is a cash establishment only, but they do have an ATM on site read more

Taqueria Pancho Villa - An assortment of tacos and a tamale. - Mexican Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

WOW! This place is delicious. They let you mix and match tacos which is amazing. I got al pastor and chorizo, my husband got bistec. They were all so flavorful! The toppings bar was great. Everything looked fresh. The pickles jalapeños were amazing. They have 3 sauces- a mild green and a VERY spicy green, plus a medium spicy. All 3 had great flavor, but be cautious of the spice on green #3 ;) If you're on the fence, just come! You won't leave disappointed! read more

Taqueria Pancho Villa - Al Pastor Tacos, Bistec Tacos, Chorizo Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

One of the best Mexican places in the area. The food, service and atmosphere all are a win. There is outside seating and inside also. The tables move fast so usually get a place to quickly. The staff is very courteous and professional. If you do not know Spanish, still way to order. The tacos are placed at salsa bar when they come out from kitchen. You go there are dress up your tacos. There is lots of choose from sauces, salsas, peppers etc.. great presentation. The tamarind drink was great. The food was great. read more

The tacos are delicious and guac is good (but too expensive--$10, come on). I've also had the tamarind juice and it's yummy. I've only ever gotten take out, but would like to stay for a meal sometime because it's super cute--lots of woodwork and detail. read more

My favorite taco place. I order from here every week. I tried almost all the different tacos and Chicken, Al pastor and longaniza are my favorites. read more

This spot is the only spot in NJ that has come closer to authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are hands down the best; our go to has always been al pastor and goat barbacoa , succulent flavorful meat. They have different kinds of sauces and accompaniments such as onions, cilantro and salsa sides. We always bring it and heat it up though obviously that impacts the taste of the tacos. However still the corn tacos seems like home made ones and fairly carries well over 30 mins . This is a jewel; and the perfect hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that can deliver authentic tacos in NJ! read more

$10 for four authentic soft tacos. You can't go wrong! I almost always get the steak. I take them home and, like a true "non-Mexican", add a dash or two of Tabasco Green hot sauce. The Mexican hot sauce is too much for my stomach to handle!!! The horchata is really good too! read more

I love the chorizo and al pastor tacos. They are SO juicy and flavorful. I really like how you get to choose how much toppings to put on your tacos. I always load up on onions, cilantro and lime juice. I usually get the 5 tacos for $9.50 Also, I like how when you order takeout, they really load you up on everything you could need from the toppings bar, including all the three of the salsas. Staff is friendly. The chairs and tables are a bit awkwardly configured though. The leg of the table is so huge, it kind of gets in the way of sitting, so you have to sit weirdly. All in all, one of my favorite taco spots in the area! read more

Another perfect example of less fancy, hole in the wall type places being the best for certain types of cuisine. This place is great. We had the Tacos All Pancho Villa, had slices of jalapeño, steak and grilled onions. Very spicy, beware! Very good wife had steak tacos and a Caldo de Res soup. All of the tortillas are made fresh, which makes a big difference. Prices are very reasonable. The condiment table is a nice feature as well. You can put whatever toppings you want on your tacos. Not sure if they have beer, but it may be BYOB. read more

Great authentic food and very friendly service. BYOB, serving sizes are very good especially if you want to share.

I went here on a Sunday at around 7 pm with a local Mexican friend who lives in town and eats here regularly. I ordered what my friend ordered the 5 tacos with pork on homemade tortillas which were soft corn tortillas, the plate cost $9.50. The tortillas are about 3 to 4 inches round and the amount of meat portion that they put on each tortilla is on the light side, it's a bit overpriced for 2 tablespoon worth of meat on a tortilla, not good value, for the amount of meat you don't get. Service was fast, basic and the place was clean. They have a side toppings bar where you can add whatever toppings you want to your meal, included were 3 types of sauces (hot, med and mild), 3 different variety of salsa, beans, limes, cilantro and chopped onions. The food overall was fresh, clean tasting with authentic flavors. I also ordered the tamales for $2.50 it was ok when you add items from the toppings bar to it. It's cash only, I am not sure if they charge sales tax or not. Btw it's BYOB. read more

So good and so filling. Best tacos!! Will be back!! This plan is cash only. They do have an ATM inside if you need. Such a hidden gem in NJ. read more

Good food but long wait time. We stopped to order the carnita and chicken tacos, which were good but the tamales were really bland. The food is not worth the horrible customer service. read more

Why no one can speak English at this place? We called to order but they don't speak English!

Very unorganized and they don't treat their staff well either. There was a worker who just started and another waiter just yelled at him in front of the customers instead of correcting him in the back, and being professional... and also stated that she's not here to baby sit anyones kid anyway. She was referring to the new worker. Constantly scolding him and not correctly properly educated him instead. I will not be eating here again. Plus not an authentic Mexican restaurant.. real Mexican food does not contain "Mexican cheese mix" maybe this is a Tex-mex restaurant but definitely does not authentic Mexican food. They must've paid the health inspector for their grade.. if you go in there trust me it does not even look near A.. read more

Absolutely delicious. This has to be the best taqueria I have been to in the NYC metro area (on par with some of the best tacos in Southern California). I got pollo tacos and they were fantastic.The condiments were extremely fresh and the meat was tender and tasty. The lady taking my order was an absolute charm. I would come back for her alone! The only complaint I have is that I found a small bone in one of my chicken tacos. Not a deal breaker by any means, and I will be back next time I am in the area. My taste buds profusely thank the staff here! read more

Really fast and friendly service. Generally interested in making a genuine connection. The food was very good also. Tijuana style tacos, specially the el pastor and steak ones were fantastic. They have a topping bar like out west too! A hidden, sweet, hole in the wall joint tucked away in a quaint town. Definitely recommend. read more

Very basic tacos only place. No choice on the tortilla - they serve corn only. You can mix up which kinds you get - The al pastor one's stood out - really good. They make the taco's and leave the plate at the taco bar where you choose your toppings. They had a nice selection but I didn't like how my plate was left there for me to go put the stuff on it. If it was very busy, how would someone know which plate is theirs? Tables are very tight & there is no notification in the restaurant or on the menu that they do not accept credit cards - not cool. You need to advertise that up front. read more

Great authentic food with friendly and fast service. Would highly recommend. Their tacos are amazing

A wide variety of taco fillings that are pretty good. Some unusual varieties which I won't be trying include tripe, boiled beef head and tongue. They also had some very good ones which I tried like chorizo and Al pastor. For dessert, the flan might be the best I've had. Cash only. read more

Tacos are decent and simple. They have a self-service toppings bar that looks as if the toppings have been around for a couple days. I did notice that most of their food, tortillas and fillings included is brought into the "kitchen" in shopping bags. I guess that means the food is either bought readymade or cooked offsite. The "cooks" assemble the food. The place is a bit of a dive with grime and dirt on the walls, ceiling and tables. Price for 3 tacos is slightly less than other spots in the area. read more

If you want real authentic Mexican this is the place, the tacos are simple but tasty with real tortillas made of corn and a salsas and condiments bar. With lots of spice levels. Tortas are great too read more

I was looking for an authentic, hole in the wall taco place and I have found one near work. I got the 5 tacos and ordered 3 of Al Pastor(Special Spicy Pork) and 2 Chorizo. This place did not disappoint. The Spicy pork was tender, juicy and full of spice. The same can be said about the chorizo. A small buffet counter is in place where you self-serve additions to the tacos such as cilantro, onions, radish, variety of salsas and spicy sauces to your liking. Will definitely be back for more. read more
