“This very modest eatery has a high eatery owner who has maintained an "A" status and is constantly cleaning and rearranging her restaurant. Open 7 days a week closes around 2 p.m. daily.If you want fresh homemade cork tortillas, and a plethora of outstanding Mexican food check out La Morinitas. You'll never go anywhere else.“

“Tacos are absolutely delicious, best tacos I’ve ever had. I recommend the carnitas but if you’re not into the fat then the steak(bisteck) ones are the next best. Their tacos also come with pickled vegetables on the side which make it even more delightful. I devour the whole container in less than five minutes haha. They are very kind and respectful and offer amazing costumer service. I don’t know why anyone would rate it lower than a four but maybe they were just having a bad day because I’ve known this taquerias for years now. Ever since they were located by Montclair Ave and I have never had a bad experience. I’ve recommended it to many people and they have all loved it. I hope their business grows and gets the recognition it deserves!“

“Honestly I was a little skeptical about tacos in Jersey, being from the west coast myself, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. The neat was seasoned, the salsa had nice bit if heat, all around great and flavorful, not just as a "taco from Jersey", or "for an airport taco", it was just plain delicious. They didn't skimp on the meat either.“

Sodas

“I. Adore. This. Place!I will start with complimenting the staff. They were friendly, helpful and even patient when i was ordering on the phone as we both have language barrier.Secondly, the food!!! The food! — we ordered platter of enchilada in salsa verde, tacos of al pastor and carnitas, chicken tamales. Every single dish was amazing: flavorful, portioned with generosity, seasoned just right, cooked just right, packed with care. I went from being excited, to impressed, to happy and back to excited for another bite until everything was finished.I thank you, Mi Ranchito, for such a wholesome experience with Mexican cuisine.We are a big fan of yours!“

“There's a very good reason we have no Taco Bell in this neighborhood of Newark. We don't need one. This is the real deal and the evidence is in the dining room: everyday lunch and dinner, Mexicans eating Mexican food, prepared by Mexicans.“

“Amazing place, very cool vibes and food and drink options are top notch. This place can transform into a club kinda vibes. Definitely worth the Instagram experience. A big plus, parking is available at the rear, what more could you ask for!It’s not expensive but it ain’t cheap either. Ask the servers what’s good here but do order the cocktail with the skull, that is pretty dope!“

5 De Mayo Mexican • $

“I've only had the chicken or beef tacos but they taste delicious! Add a little salsa verde, hits the spot. I'm here at least once a week for them. Also take out, I'm sure they're plated better if you dine in. Tacos are $8. About 10 minute wait, cooked to order.“
