    The tacos were flavorful and generous for the price. I actually preferred them over Charritos, although they didn't completely wow me. Still a good option if you're craving tacos.

    PLEASE COME HERE AND EAT TACOS! They are so good and so cheap! This place deserves a long line out the door, wrapped around the WHOLE WORLD. It's been a few hours since I've had these and I'm still thinking about them. I got the pollo, carnitas and brisket tacos. Every taco was a 10/10. Flavorful meat, generous portions, well-dressed and at $2.50 a taco who can beat that?? Unheard of! Sauces and salsa were self-serve. They take card and tap to pay. Super clean, there's no bathroom from what I can tell but they have hand sanitizers. They're very nice and welcoming! I kind of want to gatekeep this place

    The times I have ordered have been for pick up - typically takes about 10-15 minutes for the food to be ready. This is a pretty new spot, but I always see people dining in. The staff is friendly. The horchatas are great, have not tried the other aguas frescas though. The tacos are decent, my favorite is the al pastor. The chicken taco is seasoned great but the chicken was slightly dry.

    Simple clean and delicious! The small tables could be upgraded, but if you can wait to get home, eat this food no problem. I can't. It's too good.

    The tacos are spot on-fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meats, and authentic flavors that really hit. I tried: * Pastor (marinated pork) - juicy, flavorful, and balanced with pineapple, cilantro, and onion * Tripa (beef tripe) - tender and tasty * Carnitas (pork) - rich and melt-in-your-mouth * Suadero (brisket) - super soft and full of flavor The tortillas were soft but held everything together perfectly. Service was just as great, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The vibe is casual, super clean, and perfect for grabbing amazing tacos. If you're in Weehawken, this spot is a must. I'll definitely be back!

It's an also an opportunity to thank Tacoria for the "small" nachos, currently $10 and not small. When I discovered the JC branch circa 2020 Uber delivery, it was definitely one of the cheapest non-pizza options in coastal NJ. The golden avocado is perhaps the best of the main ingredients but multiple versions benefit from the escabeche peppers. (I will confess that I have ordered different things partly for the sake of having non-duplicate Yelp photo ops). You'll also enjoy the hot sauces and guava basil beverage.

    We frequent this location at least once a month but find that our experiences always vary. Our…read morevisit today was subpar and we realized when the manager Andrea is not present, the food and drinks are lacking. This was the second visit where the horchata was mildly sour and watered down -- not the usual sweet and yummy horchata it's supposed to be. My husband mentioned this to one of the male employees and the employee said "that's normal because they make it fresh everyday" --it definitely did not taste fresh. The guava basil was a great alternative. The nachos were tasty but we all agreed the chips were a bit oily this time, and lacking in volume as well; we always have left over chips after finishing our meals but this time we didn't. My al pastor & brussel sprouts tacos were room temp -- not fresh and hot as usual. My husband said his carne asada burrito had big chunks of meats being the meat was poorly cut and was also room temperature. It's as if they batch cooked everything to prep it as it was ordered...it may be faster but quality goes down immensely. What usually takes about 45 min from ordering, waiting for FRESH food, and eating, our visit was literally 15 minutes. We ordered, waited about 5 min for the food (not normal) & ate all in 15 min. While that may be great for someone people in a rush, we certainly weren't and were expecting fresher food and drinks. There was great friendly service from a woman with beautiful short coily curly hair which was a plus!

Our server was very on top of her stuff, making sure we had everything we needed and we were enjoying the food. She even let us practice our Spanish with her when ordering! My sister ordered the chicken tinga tacos and I ordered the beef birria. Both taco orders came with 5 tacos (because of the deal, it is typically 4), onions, cilantro, lime, and radish. Don't sleep on the radish, it my favorite part to add a nice crunch! Both meats were very flavorful and tender. They also gave us green and hot salsa on the side (green was my fave) and the birria tacos came with some delicious consommé for dipping. We also ordered guac and chips as an appetizer which was very fresh, and our favorite jarritos flavors to drink. It's decorated very nicely inside - no frills, a few tables and chairs inside for dining in and even a bar-style area with stools for those dining by themselves. They also offer takeout of course, but I honestly enjoyed sitting down because everything was very quick and they took great care of us. We walked, but there is only street parking so keep that in mind when traveling here.

Looking for a quick dinner, I decided to come here on a whim. Because it was raining pretty decently, I opted to eat inside. There's a small size dining area in the back, though the ordering area and hallway leading there is a bit narrow. Anyhow, for those who are new, the concept is similar to Chipotle, except that they create everything for you behind the scenes. I basically opted for the burrito bowl except with the vegan chorizo (Tacorizo). Before adding the sauces, the Tacorizo had a good amount of heat to it. I simply added the two mildest sauces and it was just enough. Bowl tasted great and it was obviously very filling. Good spot for a quick bite.
