If you're looking for the perfect hole-in-the-wall taco spot in Paterson, Taqueria Brenda Lee 3 is…read moreit. This place is a hidden gem that serves authentic Mexican street tacos done right--no frills, just flavor. I came here multiple times and never been disappointed. Do yourself a favor and try the beef cheek tacos (tacos de cabeza). They're melt-in-your-mouth tender and come topped simply with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and lime--just the way street tacos should be. On the side, they give you a generous dose of their house hot sauce, which packs heat and flavor. The vibe is straightforward: small spot, quick service, and all about the food. You'll see locals stopping in for a quick bite, and once you take your first bite, you'll understand why. This is a must-do if you're anywhere near the Paterson area. It's one of those places you'll keep coming back to once you've been.

Hands down some of the best tacos I have ever had! So juicy and flavorful! Highly recommend Al…read morepastor and carne asada!

We ordered something to drink as we looked through the menu. The art on the walls made you feel like you were in a plaza in Mexico, full of color. I had the beef torta de milanesa, my husband got the chicken burrito and my dad asked if they had goat available which she went to confirm and was told they did. So my dad order the goat platter. My food came out first and was told that my dad's plate would be out soon. My husbands order came out around 5 minutes later. We were all waiting for my dad's plate to come, so we can all start eating together. My dad knew we were all hungry so he insisted to not wait for him and to eat our meal before it got cold. We waited at least 10 minutes and the waitress came back again and told us that it would be out soon. Another 10 minutes had passed & she came back and told us they didn't have it available anymore! That really upset me since we were all hungry and she had confirmed at least twice it would be out soon! The waitress was apologetic but it was unacceptable service. My dad ordered tacos which came out in another 10 minutes. Aside from all the waiting, the food lacked some flavored. Had to drown it in some hot sauce. Was very looking forward into a good flavorful Mexican food. This place was not it. \= We left very disappointed.

Tiny place, no one speaks much English but they are happy to figure it out with you.

Soups are also homemade and excellent, and they make a delicious Pipían sauce and a surprisingly good RibEye steak.

Ordered ahead to eat in for our lunch break, table was set up as soon as we got there. If you're looking for nopales BTW, this is the place to get them. I've never actually been to a place locally that has them that I can think of. I got an order of 4 chorizo tacos ($9!!!! Amazing!!) and the others got the bistec azteca. All items came w/ nopales, but one of us had asked for them. Chorizo tacos might've been better with two tortillas instead of one because they were filled to the brim but honestly I can't complain. Sometimes chorizo tacos are wayyyy too greasy and make a huge mess but these are perfect. Horchata is also great in my opinion because it's not overly sweet or gritty like many places.
