This was such a cute little spot! I was in the area for work and wanted to grab a quick bite. I stumbled across this place that's located on a main road (so yes parking is a bit rough) but so worth it! I got three Birria tacos. If you want cheese it's a couple cents extra but I went ahead and got it on each. The birria tacos were honestly next level. The meat was so tender it basically melted, packed with that deep, slow cooked flavor that hits right away. I seriously was considering of order another one but was already stuffed! Definitely, more suited for take out as there are only two tables inside to eat at. For the three tacos and a Coke it was $20, which is pretty affordable considering the times we are in! Staff were friendly and helpful too. I will definitely be back and will be thinking of those tacos for quite some time! read more

Torta Truck - Birria taco - Tacos Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I ordered lunch for pick up for myself and my nanny, we ordered nachos cargardos with Al pastor, esquite, carne asada taco, carnitas taco, and flautas. I thought the carne asada taco was tasty, but not blown away by everything else. Within two hours of eating the food, I started feeling very ill, vomiting and diarrhea. My nanny texted me in the evening that she was having the same symptoms, feeling like it was also food poisoning. We didn't eat anything else through the day, and because both myself and my nanny had gotten sick from the same establishment, I'm very sure we both got sick from the food. I tried to reach out to the manager to rectify the situation, and both the counter person and another man I spoke with were apologetic and assured me that I could receive a refund. However, the owner, Victoria Olivos, took the phone from the gentleman I was speaking with and was appalled by my situation. She was very defensive and argumentative, assuring me it was impossible I could've gotten sick from her food, though not going through her food safety measures. She indirectly accused me of lying, when I have no reason to, the circumstances after eating their food affected myself, my nanny, and my husband who had to call out of work to take care of our kids while I was recovering. My symptoms are also improving after 24 hours, which also is consistent with food poisoning. The owner refused a refund and I don't appreciate their unprofessionalism and lack of empathy. read more

Ordered: Birria Torta (~$14): braised beef, 4-blend cheese, onion, cilantro, avocado, mayo, and pickled jalapeño Aya's take: Unlike the name suggests, this location is an actual brick & mortar, although they do still operate out of a truck at a different location. I stopped by for a lunch and if you're looking to be productive after this meal, you might want to reconsider. This will put you in a food coma immediately! The torta itself was super soft and soaked up all the birria juices well, the birria was tender and well-seasoned, and the consomé which Jesus (the owner) offered for free was literally drinkable! Jesus's customer service was amazing. It was my first time and the free consomé and suggesting the hot sauces was so appreciated. Definitely recommend! read more

Torta Truck - Birria Torta (~$14) - Tacos Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

We got 3 birria tacos without cilantro. They came with 1 lime slice each and plenty of sauces, not all of which are pictured. Very generous with the quantity of beef and it's great quality, tender and juicy and not too greasy. The tortilla was strong and flavorful and crunchy. Birria tacos tasted fantastic, I love them and would order them again. The torta was delicious and reasonably priced, especially given the amount of beef in it. It also had avocado, cheese, and pickled jalapeños on it. An absolute delight to eat, I enjoyed it more than the tacos. Quick, courteous service and great food! Try it out! read more

A while back a friend of mine suggested I try birria tacos. Told me to go to this place....."it's really tiny but the food is great" well he was both right and wrong at the same time. He was right in the fact that the place was small I like to call it cozy and quaint. He was wrong about the food. It wasn't great..... no where near great! The food was FANTASTIC! I had three birria tacos plus consommé for dipping. I was in a Mexican food coma and it was AMAZING. I even took some sips of the consommé and it was a salty delicious delight! I found myself sipping it like a tea and then heard my cardiologist telling me to put it down and walk away. I was pissed but I knew I had to (gotta watch my salt intake). All in all I highly recommend this spot. read more

Came to Torta Truck for lunch with hubby. As soon as u walk it u smell all the deliciousness!! Very small and quaint spot with a few spots to sit. I had the Birirra Tacos. Very flavorful and filing!! They are fullll of meat. Only thing i wasnt a fan of was the tortilla shells, a bit over cook and hard to chew. Their guac is yummy. I will def be back to try other items on the menu. Also check out their social media for locations on their food truck. read more

San Diego local here. Despite the name, I tried the birria, carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor tacos here and they were pretty good. I recommend this place if you're a fellow SoCal native living on the east coast looking for something to fill some sort of taqueria void in your life. I'll have to try the tortas next time but the pictures posted here look pretty hefty. read more

We tried the torta truck before and the food was amazing. When they told us they were going to have a brick and mortar restaurant, we wanted to go and check it out! We ordered the Al pastor, carne asada and birria tacos to go. We also ordered a birria empanada and the fiesta fries which were so satisfying. The green sauce that comes with the food is the best. They also didn't skimp on the limes. Food was packed neatly in paper boxes and were still warm when we got home. They have a small area for seating. I think most people order for pickup. read more

I remember seeing the truck all artsy-purrty, but I never ordered the food. So when they opened in my hood, I was like, aiiight! Got Birria Empanada. Great tasty meat, with great texture, wrapped up nice with a hot, perfectly crunchy pastry. What I didn't like: the mozzarella. It was chuncky and cold and didn't add nothing to the empanada. Not sure if it was supposed to be melty, but maybe shredded woulda worked here. Nah, I'm not gonna get that again. Pollo Asado Taco. The test for me. They passed. Tender pieces of chicken, spiced nice, tasty, even tho it wasn't better than the Al Pastor. Al Pastor Taco. Divine. Great pork, great sweetness from the pineapple, great spice, topped with just enough schtuff to bring it all together nice, every bite was worth a slow-mo video. My fave of all so far. Agua Fresca Jamaican. Great flavor without the intense tartness like Sorrel, yet, not mega sweet to take away from the food. I'd get that again. Now, the tortilla on them tacos tasted homemade, as they should, but you gotta eat em quick cuz they lose the bite-able desired freshness somehow; they get tougher, which is kinda weird, but cuz of the great filling & me doin takeout, I didn't judge too harshly. If all the filling from the taco was on some rice, I'd be goin there once a week. The lil cups of red sauce and green sauce were well done. A lil kick in each one and no bitterness or sharp flavors to take away from whatever you put it on. Service was on point. Friendly and attentive and answered any quirky questions folks had. Menu cards were at the counter and painted lovely on the wall. They love the food they serve and want you to love it too. Go check 'em! read more

Food isn't bad, but it's very mid. My issue isn't even the fact that it's mid. The real problem is price they charge for the portion size. First of all, who charges for the consume sauce separately when you're ordering a birria item? I've been to so many Mexican restaurants and this has never been the case. Next, avoid getting the nachos. Very overpriced for portion that could realistically barely feed even one person. The birria tacos are extra charge for cheese inside for street taco sizes. Again, food IS NOT bad. Just definitely not recommended if you're eating with another person, worse off if it's a group. I hate writing bad reviews because it's hard for small businesses as it is, but if the owner reads these just please consider taking note that no one likes to feel like they're getting fucked over when eating out. read more

Honestly was disappointed in the quality of the tortillas the second I grabbed onto the taco the tortillas where dry, I thought the meat will do justice for the disappointing tortilla but the chicken was flavorless, I would say it wasn't dry at least compared to the rest of the food I also ordered a torta because you would think TORTA truck would have At least decent tortas but I was disappointed when I saw yellow cheese in it. Also consomé tasted more like tomato soup Just overall dissatisfying! I've tried tacos from other places and the tortillas doesn't get as stale as these tortillas after 15 minutes ordering them! Flavor 0 service 0 read more

Torta Truck - a plate of pasta with meat and sauce - Tacos Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

These tacos are sooooo good. It's not your standard JC, gentrified tacos. Cough, cough, downtown. These are the real deal, flavorful yummy goodness. The carne asada is perfectly flavored and cooked and has that subtle spice to it that only authentic places have. The al pastor is not sweet it's that perfect blend of savory to sweet ratio. That being said there are a few other authentic places in the area that are significantly cheaper. The price point is off putting considering the rest of the area goes for $12 for 4 tacos. Whereas here, it's $4 per taco. I'm all about quality over quantity, but this is what prevents me from coming back since there are plenty of competitors in the area. May I suggest some Taco Tuesday promotions to cater to the crowd? :D read more

I think this brick and mortar is new. I enjoyed three tacos for a quick lunch. The birria taco is delicious, but they don't give you consommé and so if you want extra and really just love that soup, you have to order it on the side. But they do sufficiently drench the taco in it and you don't miss out on the flavor. It's trendy, clean, and tacos are great! read more

Best Mexican food I've ever had! The birria empanadas are my favorite! Go check this place out you won't regret it!

Very good, hefty tortas, I'd give a 4.5. I had the birria torta which was packed with ingredients and had a good kick and a ton of melted cheese. Wife had the al pastor torta which was lighter with lettuce, pineapple, and shredded Mexican cheese. One a little more refreshing and one heavier. Tad on the salty side but lots of flavor and we will be back. read more

We stopped by Torta Truck for lunch today and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was friendly, and most importantly, the food was fresh and delicious. The flavors were well balanced, and the pork torta had a perfect smoky taste. I got the breaded chicken torta, and I was surprised how fresh everything was inside. The cheese and the refried beans sent me! I highly recommend this space. We will be back to try everything. read more

Best tacos in Jersey City. Hands down. Bit of advice, please sell your salsas that come with the tacos. There's never enough and at almost $5 per taco, they should be plentiful, if not available for purchase. read more

Tortas are delicious the birria and milanesa tortas were really delicious. The tortas are well seasoned without being heavy. The horchata was also tasty. The reason for the raiting is the fact that we payed an extra 4 dollars for extra chicken on the torta and it definitely did not have anything extra. read more

amazing flavor on the birria torta and portion was good, I initially thought the price was a bit high for a sandwich but it was definitely worth it though considering the flavor and freshness of the ingredients. The only thing is that the pickled jalapeños overpowered the birria torta so next time i'll just ask them to take it out. service was great, they make the torta right there and then. 4.5/5 read more

Torta Truck - birria torta - Tacos Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I followed this place on Instagram for a long time and they finally opened one in my neighborhood. Wish I wasn't disappointed because I absolutely love tacos! I wanted to try their birria tacos but to my dismay ONE taco (without the usual melted cheese) is $4! The cheese that comes Included on any other birria taco I've ever had is an additional 75¢. So ONE taco comes out to around $5, which to me is outrageous. I ended up only ordering one to see if I liked them before ordering more since they were so expensive. I also asked for the customary consummet (idk if that's how you spell it, but it's the broth the meat is stewed in, for dipping your taco). You would think that would come with the $5 taco being that that's how birria tacos are served but no it's also sold separately. The taco was also not grilled shut with delicious melted cheese oozing out. It was left wide open with a bit of melted cheese. I'd also like to add I sat outside in their outdoor space while i waited to eat there and had another patron knock on the glass to let me know my ONE taco was ready. They couldn't bring it out to me ? By the time I was done I had one birria taco and a coke for $11 + $2 tip left when paid. Not to mention it didn't taste like much even with the cosummet and the coke was in a glass bottle but was room temperature. Will never be back, as excited as I was to try out, not worth the hype. I would rather get plain Jane tacos out of a truck that just served beef in a tortilla with onions and call it a day. read more

Torta Truck - One birria taco, one warm coke, and a gallon of consummet sold separately - Tacos Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Good food but insanely overpriced which ruined it for me. "Lunch special" is $13.50 for 3 tacos which is $4.50 per taco?! That is the regular price per taco. Insanity. I thought it would come with something like chips and guacamole or a drink since it's a lunch special, nope. Just regular priced tacos under a different menu section. read more
