Chicharrones- these were very good. crispy and crunchy but airy. i didn't know it was like pork rinds lol nice and colorful inside. staff was very friendly too. read more

Friendly staff, tasty food and very reasonable prices for Montclair. We split the bierras nachos which were fantastic and super flavorful. I opted for the al pastor, which I also found to be delicious. There was four per order (they allow you to do 2 and 2 if you choose) and came with plenty of garnishes and salsas. We finished with a small order of churros which came with two different flavors. Next time I will try one of the signature tortas which looked huge. read more

Most ridiculous interaction by far. Food was missing, and some of the items that did arrive were incorrect. When I called for an explanation, the employee hung up on me. After that, the phone was only answered when I called from my boyfriend's phone. Very disappointing customer service. Problem was not resolved... read more

Very good! We decided to order for pick up and really enjoyed everything! We tried Quesabirria tacos, Guacamole & Chips, chicken Burrito bowl. Very good! Tasted fresh and came with salsas. We liked the staff and ambience inside too - we will definitely look to order again soon!! Thank you!! read more

The place was okay overall. Everything we ordered was good, and the prices were reasonable. It was pretty empty when we went, but it looks like it can easily accommodate a big group. read more

Place looks nice, staff is lovely. I guess I could have looked closer at the photos, but when I read steak, I expect solid meat pieces, not ground beef. If I knew that it was ground beef, I would have ordered chicken. Although I ordered different beef tacos, they ended up having very little difference in flavor. It's a shame, cause the place is really cute. read more

My only regret is not getting the birria!!! An amazing find with amazing plates, lovely music renditions of classics playing, and amazing staff/service. My kiddo got the chicken and papas and he loved it; I tried the papas, and they were incredibly crispy and not oily. I got the chilaquiles en salsa verde with bistec. Nothing wrong with bistec, but when I tried a piece of my husband's birria in his torta, I figured out that it was the star that deserved to be on my chilaquiles. The salsa verde, crema and queso complimented itself very well. Las aguas frescas (horchata and jamaica) were full of flavor and refreshing on today's hot day. Highly recommend! Street meter parking available around the restaurant. Credit card accepted. read more

The food here is AMAZING as usual. Our server, Carlos, was super friendly and made sure we had a great experience! He took our order and got our food super quick! The birria fries are one of the best things of the menu, 10/10 read more

Tortas Lokas - Birria Fries, Tacos de Birria - Mexican Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

One of my favorite spots, especially on taco Tuesdays! As usual, everything was delicious! Service is always excellent! The guacamole is delicious. I ordered a total of five tacos. I ordered the steak, breaded chicken, and Mexican chorizo to start off with... everything came out hot fresh and delicious! Yum yum! Then I ordered eggs with mixed vegetables and one Al Pastor and everything was to my liking and yummy! I got a steak sandwich to go which was delicious next day for lunch! I highly recommend this spot And if you can sit outside on a nice day, go for it! Always a good time! I'll be back here next Tuesday for sure! P.S. forgot to mention, I love the look of the new menus with the SHARP black background and the POPPY colors!! read more

I ordered delivery so I can't say anything about the location itself. But with regard to the food... Spectacular. I had the burrita which I have never even heard of before. It was ridiculously good. And they gave you so much guacamole on the side as well as the onion and tomatoes that it was more than sufficient. I love their green hot sauce as well. This is definitely a repeat type place. read more

Tortas Lokas - Great service!!! - Mexican Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

quite the random decision to come here as I wanted to have some tacos and we're glad we found this place! from outside, the shop looks so cute and inside had festive colors! great location in montclair too - a little away from the main street so finding street parking wasnt so bad. we got the Chilaquiles which was good but im not really a big fan of the green salsa over chips since its sour. really just more on preference. Anyway, i enjoyed the beef birria. The meat was tender and nicely seasoned. The additional consome brought more flavor and was fun dipping the tacos into. Also thoroughly enjoyed the orange juice! nice and sweet. glad we were able to support the business. read more

I had previously placed an order for churros for 20 people. They told me I would need 2 regular size orders. Order and delivery was placed a week prior. Order was delivered late and only 10 size mini churros. I called to let them know that I seemed to be missing part of the order. They were not helpful and told me it was 2 orders for $50 and that I received the right amount. Awful customer service and sad that they are charging that rate. I have stopped ordering from them entirely and now prefer Folklore in West Orange. read more

In a neighborhood like Montclair you always try to establish your "faves" of every food type. I was hoping to have secured Tortas Lokas as my go to for awesome tacos. I'll say i'm still on the hunt. The tacos were a little bland and the chicken could have more flavor. Sadly I also found a hair in my taco (not pictured), I am quite sure it was not intentional so I won't harp on that too much however hopefully this was a one off occurrence. On a lighter note the guacamole was very tasty. Also the sandwiches were huuge and pretty decent. They also allow you to customize your sandwich to your preferences. This location is very cute, with eye catching wall paintings. For a new business I felt the customer service was lacking somewhat as the staff didn't seem very warm and didn't utter a word for a minute as I waited to order with no other waiting customers. I'm willing to give it another try despite my reservations perhaps I visited on an off night. read more

So we tried this New Mexican spot in Upper Montclair for weeknight takeout. Food was ready fast so high marks for that. Unfortunately the food here is just bland, not bad, but just sort of meh. The Nachos ($12) was a good sized portion and the guac was pretty good ... but just sort of underwhelming and bland. Same thing for my veggie burrito bowl ($10.50). Big portion with a good selection of veggies, beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, guac but just sort of bland. read more

Muy buen servicio, Margarita la mesera siempre atenta y con muy buena actitud. La comida rica. Volveré sin duda alguna

I placed on order on Saturday May 31,2025. By mistake I did Pick up instead of delivery. An hour and half after I realized the food was not delivered. When I went to the restaurant. The food was seating by the counter cold. I explained to the waiter that I had a sensitive stomach and that was food wasn't properly stored and she said well, that's on you. I also explained to her that they could it had call me to clarify if was a pick up. She was rude and dismissed. I frequently order from this place. However, the lack of sensitivity and customer services was beyond. The lost a customer. I would never order from them. My bill was $ 37.00 dollars and I let the food write on the counter. I left that establishment feeling frustrated and hungry. Awful customer services. Rude and not polite. read more

Love this place! Simple tacos but so yummy I could just pop taco after taco. Got the Al Pastor, Spicy Pork, and Chorizo. The large sandwich is their Torta Loka (after their restaurant name). There are a few different types of meat like beef, ham, and hot dog. It was huge but quite yummy. I recommend adding their salsa verde. They bring out a small cup of tortilla chips with their two types of salsa (verde and roja [smokey]). Inside or outside is super colorful. You're drawn to this place from across the street! Colorful chairs and flowers greet you outside and pretty painted walls inside. Friendly staff and super quick service! $3/taco what can be better than that. Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, flat entry read more

Great place to dine in with the Family last night ‼ Chose our Table and seen to quickly by our Friendly Waiter‼ I had the signature Tortas Lokas sandwich - ginormous and I had to take half to go - while the Missus had the Shrimp Tacos and teenage daughter had Chicken Quesadillas with the requisite Mexican Sodas it was a Delicious Meal ‼ Clean Place with Spanish Music on the speakers so it was little slice of Mexico Definitely coming back ‼ read more

I don't write many reviews but ... here goes. Our server was Nataly was great. Everything came out as ordered and she was very helpful with our requests for extra cilantro. Also to say the food is very good and the Tortas sandwich's, I ordered the combination, are HUGE. I often eat half and take the other half home for lunch, which makes the price a bargain (which is rare in high-rent Montclair). Thank you and ... we'll be back. read more

Authentic, simple, and fresh food. They have a large menu with a few vegetarian options. They also have a huge selection of freshly made fruit juices. Highly recommend El Trompas. The small guacamole is great for 1-2 people to share. We also shared a vegetarian burrito. I made the mistake of ordering fries (they were a little cold). I should have gone with the corn chips (but I wish they had yuca or platanos). Really delicious dips, salsas, and pico on the side. Beautiful restaurant. Very colorful. Lots of seating. Great for larger groups. Fairly priced. read more

Very good tacos! I loved the service and everything was very well served. I would definitely recommend it for everyone to try it.

The location I went to is in Newark nj and it had a really friendly atmosphere and the staff were really nice especially Sofia she was really kind and helpful read more

A brightly painted restaurant with mariachi music in the background just made me the most amazing Birria Tacos. Flavorful, juicy, and beautifully presented. I could eat this EVERY SINGLE DAY. This was accompanied by a rather large and cooling fruit drink. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional. I will be back. read more

Oh my goodness.. this is the best food I have eaten.. other than my own Super nachos are the best and the el bam bam delicious. I ordered the guacamole and chips but I'm saving those for later . Delivery was flawless. Definitely ordering again or going in person read more

Came here for a random lunch in the area. We waited some time to receive our drinks. The appetizers came out before , we then received the natural juices that were a decent size and good. The appetizers were really good, the guacamole could've used some more lime and salt . The quesadilla had fresh cheese on top- AMAZING! The tacos I ordered were the gringas and they were so good. We also ordered a torta and it was HUGE! read more

Finally, great and authentic Mexican food in Montclair. Tortas Lokas is fantastic and easily Montclair's best value for the money. I note that the negative reviews here are for odd things (a burrito bowl? Why???) that I would never order. First, notice this is called *Tortas* Lokas, and Tortas means Mexican sandwiches. This can be tricky since many of them are indeed Lokas, crazy things with hot dogs on them and etc. but if you look at the menu, you will see "Carne Asada," which is not just Carne Asada but a Carne Asada Torta. Get it! Add some guacamole and some chipotle chilis and for around $12 you have two meals worth of awesome right there (I don't see how anyone could finish a whole sandwich in one go). I've had the Carnitas as well and it's excellent. We have also enjoyed the tacos as well. The atmosphere is clean and nice. We have gone or ordered our pretty much every week since they opened. read more

Stopped in for the first time. The place is adorable! Very colorful and the light bulbs change colors in a fun way. The place is spotless! The employees are extremely friendly!!

I hope it does well. read more
