“This place bring such a nice aroma and nice customer service, Food is 10/10 always hot and fresh , I would say my favorite thing on their menu would be their margaritas sampler since it brings a variety of food eat such as the chicken wings and flautas with their delicious “
“I had never been to a Mexican restaurant with a concept like this, the food was phenomenal and very authentic, I had a spectacular and very well balanced tuna aguachile, the octopus without any comparison, and I finished with a Valentine's week special that was a red snapper Delicious, very eager to return to try the rest of the dishes. Oh, I failed to mention the very pleasant service and the beautiful decoration, very cozy, highly recommended.“
“I've gone 2 times within the past 2 weeks and I'm hooked. You might not expect it walking in, but it's the perfect little gem for Hackensack. The taco tuesday specials are great but the delicious tacos make it more worth it. The margaritas are yummy too“
“I’ve been to different locations of la fortaleza but this one is by far the best. Incredibly great service and the food was so good. Karen made our experience incredible and gave us amazing service. My wife had the chilaquiles and I had chiles rellenos I loved it.“
“Wonderful weekend lunch!We really wanted breakfast, however we arrive at 12:30 on a Sunday.They were very accommodating when we asked if they could put fried eggs on top of our Nachos Rancheros, they said yes.Nachos RancherosFresh crisp tortilla chips (flour)Topped with black beansCheesePico de GalloAvocadoJalapenosWe ordered without meat, though there is a choice of meat if you like, and added 2 fried eggs on topMy daughter ordered Pechuga de pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken) platter with rice, beans, salad, tortilla, it was so much good, only $12! The chicken was like 10/10 Delicious, a little smokey, xxx really tender, beans and rice were amazing. Salad was plain but fresh.Arroz con leche was warm, comforting, full of cinnamon flavor, like a warm hug in a mugCafe Con leche was perfect, the best cup of coffee!Breakfast served 7:00 - 11:00amVegetarian options: Almost every menu item could be ordered with rice and beans, thank makes it vegetarian, they also had a veggie taco, nopales taco. Burritos, tostadas, nachos could be ordered without meat. If you order without cheese, then I believe it can be vegan.Parking: Residential neighborhood, very difficult to find any parking spotKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, though they did not offer us a kid menu“
“I had the pleasure of visiting today and they did not disappoint! The food came out pretty quickly and tasted delicious. We ordered a buffalo chicken panini and it was cooked to perfection. The buffalo wings were also a hit! Everything was flavorful.“
“When I find a gem, I share it! Yes, yes, yes! Hallelujah to good food! We were trying to find some tacos to eat before going home and I came across a little taco truck that I had to try! They have the pastor tacos in the traditional rotating-roster, and they were delish! I also had an elote ? with everything, and a tiny bit of the powder-picante was enough for me to get a kick of spice in my mouth that turned on all the right taste buds! The lady who took care of us was polite, fast, and so kind! I will definitely be back to try the other tacos they have!!“

The tacos are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are truly authentic. We tried the fried pork, beef birria and chicken birria tacos and churros they were excellent.

“Always the French family ?But another family memberI confirm a great welcome from the super nice staffVery good, plentiful and inexpensive dishesthank you for your welcomeFamily restaurant that we really recommendThank you for this little moment ?“
“Wow!! So we had a group of 8 and was pouring rain so looking for a takeout place. Found Tacos Polos because it was only 5 minutes away. We ordered tons of food for pickup. The price was great and the quality and amount for the price was unbelievable. We ordered a 30 tacos combo ?they were amazing. Everything was so good. We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“
“Working with Bro-Ritos was a very pleasant experience and we can't wait to bring them back to Rutgers-NB again! From the moment we contacted them through their website, they were professional, prompt, and friendly.We invited them for our annual Black Student Social which is a fall semester welcome program. The staff were kind and worked quickly to serve over 200 students. Our students were happy with their tacos and burritos. The owner was very accommodating and met all of our needs.Administratively, I was very impressed with Bro-Ritos. We made A LOT of requests and changes and had to work through the nuances of getting a new vendor approved, but Bro-Ritos was always responsive and on top of it. They are true team players.If you have the opportunity, you should book the Bro's!“
“This is without a doubt the best banh mi in town. The bread is utter perfection, the ingredients always fresh, and just the right level of spice. The staff are very friendly and the owner is actively involved. I had a problem with my order, which he personally resolved. I was very impressed why his commitment to customer satisfaction. I will be a customer for life. Keep up the great work!“
“I’m addicted! The menu is simple, the food is flavorful and well presented. Service is wonderful and great value. Casual setting with beach-y/food truck vibes vs a restaurant-proper. I suspect that this place would have a lot more foot traffic if it were in town near Bloomfield Ave or Watchung, but I’m happy to have it so nearby in Upper Montclair, and I hope they are a long-standing fixture here (have seen a few places coke and go in this spot). The food here stands out miles ahead of a couple of nearby Mexican options, albeit smaller menu.“
“Super dope place and our waitresse Adrianna was super cool super pretty with a wonderful soul she made sure we had everything we needed...the best part was the birthday celebration I'm definitely coming back to visitKid-friendliness: The kids menue and drinks are amazing“
“I recently experienced a culinary delight at a local taco joint that left me thoroughly impressed. The five-star service began with a warm welcome, setting the tone for the evening. The staff's attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm enhanced the overall dining experience.Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the tacos. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, a perfect blend of fresh ingredients and expertly seasoned meats. From traditional favorites like carne asada to creative fusion options, every taco showcased the chef's skill and creativity.The presentation was artful, with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. The tortillas were soft, yet sturdy enough to hold the generous fillings without falling apart. It was evident that the kitchen prioritized quality ingredients, resulting in a burst of authentic Mexican flavors.Beyond the exceptional food, the ambiance added another layer to the dining pleasure. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it an ideal spot for both casual outings and special occasions.In conclusion, this taco haven not only delivered on its promise of top-notch service but also elevated the humble taco to a culinary masterpiece. It's a definite five-star destination for anyone seeking a gastronomic adventure with a side of warm hospitality.“
“We love this place, great food and a fair price. The staff is always friendly and punctual. I have dined in and taken to go. The bonitos and tacos are our go to's and their awesome I have also tried many other items on the menu and all are excellent.“
“I absolutely love this place. I try and go every time I go to the AMC in Ridgefield since it's close. The family that owns it is so nice and friendly. She already knows that I almost always order the pineapple burger. I've only tried half the menu and have enjoyed it. Maybe when I've had my fill of my beloved ? ?, I'll try something else. I also like their garden in the front. My buddy and I try to memorize and name all the countries of the mini flags they have on the inside of the restaurant. Good food, good times. I recommend it!“
“We absolutely love coming here! The service is friendly, the food is delicious, the drinks are yummy. A big shout out to Lily! What a beautiful soul and a superior attitude! Thank you for the best food and drinks! Salute!Parking: Lots of spots to park.Kid-friendliness: The kids love the colorful atmosphere“
“Absolutely delicious! Large portions, great service, and phenomenal prices. We got an order of nachos, tacos and fajitas for $34 and had leftovers.Notes:BYO - They’ll put your extra cervezas in their fridge if you ask!Cash only! They have an ATM on site.“
“Tl:Dr was tasty but had terrible gas afterward, do not recommend for those with delicate systems!Recommend: tongue tacos, burritos, birria tacosI LOVE tongue tacos. They were a little bland by themselves but we're perfection with some salsa.The pico de gallo is quite spicy which was unexpected but not unwelcome for us.Birria tacos were nice but too cheesy for me (although for cheese lovers it may be perfect).The portion sizes on the burritos are pretty hefty.“
“Food is great, but they need to do better on their customer service. It’s nearly impossible to get through on the phone for whatever reason. Placed a grub hub order instead, which they never acknowledged after 30 mins. Ended up waiting inside for a half an hour. Hopefully they improve because I would hate to see them lose out on business.“
“The gentleman running the place was very friendly and welcoming. You could tell he puts real heart into the food and man was that delicious. Small storefront doesn’t take away from the deliciousness that was my pupusas. Can’t wait to go back for more.“
“I don’t know what my family and I would do without Tinga!!! It’s our first choice for a quick night out with the kids (7 and 3)! the staff and Karim are lovely and always smiling.. the food is excellent and it’s just, overall, a great spot to have in town. Low key and kids friendly! Thank you for the great service guys!!“
“(Translated by Google) That nice surprise.The Mexican Season giving roses to the Mothers.Thank you so much.Such a nice gesture on your part and one of the best places to eat a delicious dish and have a good time.(Original)Que bonita sorpresa.El Sazon Mexicano dando rosas a las Madres.Muchas gracias.Un gesto tan lindo de su parte y uno de los mejores lugares donde comer un rico plato y pasar un buen rato.“
“You might miss this place because of how small and compact the truck is but trust me you will not regret getting online and waiting for this steaming hot meal! Taco's are hands down one of my favorite foods to eat and this place was such a DELCIOUS! find! This place seems to pack their taco with flavorful shredded beef, refreshing herbs and an amazing sauce that pairs perfectly with the tacos. After I ate my 3 tacos I was ready to take a big nap because of how stuffed they got me! Small but extremely mighty. I crave these the next day when they are all gone and I cannot wait to travel back and eat here again in the summer.“
“Hands-down the best Mexican take out/quick service I’ve ever had. Think of Qdoba or Chipolte but actually real Mexican food made by Mexican people. The workers here are so nice and I believe a family restaurant. SUPPORT LOCAL WHILE GETTING THE BEST FOOD AVAILABLE!“
“they have a great menu of foods. there burritos are so amazing and filling. other than there menu food they also have freshly made dinners that are so mouthwatering. any foody would love this place and there portions are very genrous and not expensive at “
“Place is not bad. First time we went was for my wife's birthday. We were excited for Birria tacos. The consome was not bad. My wife enjoyed it. Taco shells are crispy and cheese was just the right amount. Meat was good portion. The place is very small. Its my only complaint. The waitress is good but there's only one in the place so if it's busy it's hard for her to tend to every table but she tries her best. They should add ground beef as part of their meat options. I would recommend this place if you're in a mood for some good tacos.“
“This was my second visit to the establishment, and the experience was as positive as the first. I ordered a carne asada burrito and an Elote. The burrito was substantial and satisfying, although I would have preferred a more generous serving of chips or none at all. The Elote was delicious, but it is advisable to allow it to cool slightly before consuming.Upon entering the establishment, we were greeted cordially and directed to a table. Menus were provided, and we were informed that orders should be placed at the cashier, where drinks could also be obtained.The decor of the establishment is noteworthy, featuring a luchador theme. Spanish music was played at an appropriate volume, creating a pleasant ambiance.I intend to return to sample additional dishes from the menu.“
“This is the best Mexican food I've had in Jersey!! It's family owned and the family is incredibly friendly. The food is authentic, it tastes like it was served straight out of abuela's kitchen. The homemade sauces and dishes are delicious and unique in taste. They serve birria tacos occasionally which are to die for !!! The place is cozy and bright. They deliver, prices are reasonable and the food tastes great even reheated. I love this spot!!!“
“This place was pretty awesome. The burrito was massive and the cheese sauce on it was great. Apps were good too, duck nachos, octopus, guac sampler, pork belly buns. Anddd they had siete lenguas blanco which just topped off an awesome meal. The place is decorated really fun too, the bathrooms are nostalgic.“
“This place has the best avo toast around best home fries. Delicious omelets. But the avo toast. I'm coming here almost every wknd for it!!! Perfect poached egg. And the arugula that goes on the multi grain toast. Devine!!!! A must try!!!!“
“From the first time I went to Chofi's, I was instantly hooked with their tasty and flavorful birria tacos and consume. Very authentic local Mexican restuarant that has many traditional items on their menu and all for a great price. Highly recommend their aguas frescas, and they are also BYOB so you can easily make your own margaritas. There are only a few tables to eat at inside the restaurant but the atmosphere is fun and cozy. Service is excellent, always greeted joyfully despite how busy it usually is. Will continue making this my go to spot for birria tacos and Mexican food in general“
“Overall it was a great dining experience. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was good, and pricing was typical. What was missing was the old days when Mexican restaurants typically gave you free chips and salsa for the table. A relatively small expense like that can go a long way towards enhancing the dining experience. It's like an Italian restaurant giving you free bread and butter/oil. Still, it was a good meal and the Sangria was good, though it could have had a little more fruit... Definitely worth a trip to try it out.“
“While out picking up wedding cake samples nearby, my fiancee and I literally happened on Victoria's by total chance on Saturday, 01/13. We arrived at around noon and may have been the first people to show up for the day. Given how quiet the restaurant was, we didn't want to get our hopes up but BOY did this place deliver. As soon as we took our first bite of the complementary (and addicting) warm black bean dip with fresh, salty tortillas we knew we were in for a treat! I ordered the burrito which was loaded with the most flavorful and perfectly cooked chicken. My fiancee ordered tacos (4 per order) - 2 fish and 2 barbacoa. The tacos and salsas were super fresh and tasty. I love that they didn't try to overcomplicate anything - just extremely delicious food without the need for gastronomics and extra flair. Even though this is about a 25 minute drive from us, I definitely think we'll be making another trip back!“
“Tried their birria tacos, tacos al pastor and the horchata and everything was perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. Probably some of the best birria tacos I’ve ever had. The customer service was also very good. Definitely going back!!“
“Place is the best. Best Mexican food around for miles. Drinks are fire. Expensive though. But service is great. People are friendly and accommodating. They do karaoke a lot and a lot of talented people come out to sing. Nice wall murals. Parking is street parking as you’re not supposed to use the parking lots across the street. Awesome place overall.“
“Be careful what you wish for. One torta here completely eliminated any chance I'd be doing any more climbing yesterday at the gym we were at next door. Delicious lunch though next time I'll opt for something lighter if I hope to continue climbing.“
“Constantly eating here whenever I can. They are so good it's hard for them to keep food til a certain time. Their acapurias are the bomb and so are their regular meals, but if you want any fried goods go before 1230pm or chances are they will be sold out.“
“The family at Los Hermanos is a quality group. The meet you with a smile and their space is delightful. Nice for a quick bite whether that’s for a breakfast quesadilla or a lunch entree. A great addition to the 4th ward of Montclair. Also, side note - they wear gloves while preparing your food and it’s a very clean establishment.“
“My son goes to Woodrow Wilson near this restaurant, and every time that I visit him, or pick him up. We go here. I highly recommend this restaurant, because the food is amazing, and the family that works at this place are very kind, and have great service.“
“I bought food for my fiancé and he really liked the food a lot. He was pleasanrly surprised that it came from a food truck. He said it was very tasty and he would get from there again!! Super nice people as well!! They also have a restaurant in Montclair, will definitely check out!! A+++++“
“I love Dario's Tex Mex, the first time I got put on this spot I couldn't stop going back, I put my mom on this spot and she now loves it, the owner is a charm very friendly and the food is soo good please don't sleep on Newark NJ food spots we definitely have some hidden gems here ???“
“Seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had. The chicken burrito is fantastic. The guac is always freshly made. Churros are also great. My girlfriend always gets the spicy shrimp tacos, even though it’s not listed here on the menu. But if you call them they will accommodate. Very nice hidden gem in Lodi.“
“The food was good and the service was very friendly and fast. The person who ordered tamales said they were delicious and my chimichanga with barbacoa was good, but the two choices of sauce were not my favorite. I opted for verde rather than mole, but it's a little sour for my usual taste. After the fact I realized that maybe I should have asked if they had a red sauce and maybe he only suggested his favorites. Still, overall the food was very good.Parking: The lots nearby are not for the restaurant but they were full anyway. There is street space that has a sign stating no parking but everyone parks there anyway.“
“One of the best steaks I have ever had at a restaurant. Get the New York steak. it is a New York strip and by far the best steak around town in my opinion. Wait, it's not just steak. Their menu looks amazing!! When I was there the menu was tablet based and when you click on some item it takes you to a video that shows you how they cook it. Great food, good kids menu, BYO tequila and they make you a great Margarita. Shall I say more? You, your friends, your family have to absolutely give this place a chance.“
“This has to be one of my favorite restaurants now. When looking for it and entering, you may be a little bewildered that it's a tad cramped but not uncomfortable. But oh, is it worth it. The food is great and tastes like family recipes. The staff are very kind and It almost feels like you walked into a family friends house for lunch. Amazing overall.“
“One of my favorite dishes at Los Jarros is the vegetarian taco salad. It's made with a bed of lettuce, rice , black beans, pico, cheese, (add jalapenos for spice!) and sour cream. The star of the show, though, is the guacamole. It's made with fresh avocados, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes, and it's absolutely delicious.The whole meal is incredibly flavorful, and it's a great option for vegetarians or anyone looking for a lighter meal. I highly recommend it! Wonderful service every time i order“
