“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!!“
“I have been coming here for about a year, always good service and the food is good too, French fries are excellent and I like the quesadillas or the Caribbean burrito with plantains. Also the Agua Fresca with cucumber is really good. ?Parking: It is sparse.. and metered parking only“
“Friendly and great service. The food truck was very organized when it comes to the ordering. The food was delicious. One of the best birria tacos in the state of NJ. I drove 30 minutes for these tacos. I would recommend coming here for tacos.“
“(Translated by Google) I love the food in this place, the people who serve are very friendly, authentic Mexican food and at a good price, the only bad thing is that they don't have parking and it's hard to find but the food is excellent(Original)Me encanta la comida de este lugar, las personas que atienden muy amables, autentica comida mexicana y a un buen precio lo único malo es que no tienen parqueo y cuesta mucho encontrar pero la comida es excelente“
“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.“

“The taco craving hit us one Sunday so we decided to pick some up on our way home from running errands, at around 1:30. There is street parking so if you wait around long enough, you’ll be able to get a spot. We had the birria tacos, al pastor, and lengua. We originally wanted to try the oreja and campechanos but they didn’t have it that day. These are probably the best quesabirria tacos I’ve had in the area. I’m normally not a huge fan because it usually ends up being soggy, and I don’t really like braised meat, as it tends to be dry. That wasn’t the case here. The tacos were still crispy 20 minutes later, and the meat wasn’t dry. It was stuffed to the max with beef and cheese. The broth was also very good and not watery like most other places tend to be. The al pastor tacos and lengua tacos were also very good. They’re a bit smaller than similar taco spots in the neighborhood but it’s quality over quantity here. If they added fresh pineapple to the pastor, it would have brought the taco over the top. I also enjoyed their homemade (sauces). They have a kick to it but be careful with the dark chipotle looking one. One drop of that, and you’ll be good.Will definitely be back for some more tacos. Hopefully next time, they’ll have the oreja and campechano.“
“FINALLY a solid taqueria within walking distance! We got chorizo and carnitas tacos - both excellent. Carnitas had a deep, meaty flavor, chorizo was flavorful. Green salsa was awesome, red salsa was a nice heat but not as much flavor. Got a lime cucumber agua fresca too, refreshing and not too sweet. There's only 3 tacos to an order (double tortilla) so they're not cheap, but it's enough food. The restaurant itself looks pretty nice - clean, bright, nicely decorated. We'll 100% be back.“
“I ordered chicken verde enchiladas, chicken tostadas, chicken Al pastor tacos ( 6 of them and they’re $2 each) , cheese flautas, and 3 jarritos. Everything came out to approx $56. The enchiladas were pretty good 9/10. Tacos were a bit dry 7/10 . Tostadas were a bit dry as well 7.5/10 . The cheese Flautas were 8/10 and I wish they put more creama on top instead of putting so much lettuce. I was mistaken though bc I thought my flautas were missing since I didn’t know it came with rice ( on the menu flautas are an appetizer so I didn’t know it was an actual entree with rice?) which I figured it was a side for the enchiladas and I saw a bed of lettuce which the flautas were hidden under?.. I immediately called the restaurant and they assured me it was packed but still offered to redo it free of charge. Overall the staff was kind, the food was good and the restaurant is well decorated but on a busy street! I always pass by and the line is always long and sometimes I even see people waiting outside! Definitely give it a try and I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy their authentic Mexican food ??“

“OH! MY! GOD!!!! I just ate there today for the first time taking a risk and OMG it was SO GOOD!!! Also, the restaraunt is very clean and I love the decor on the inside. Small, intimate, but very nice and welcoming. I had fried fish and Yuca and it was absolutely divine“
“Decent place to grab a drink. I felt the drinks didnt have the right kick at first n ask the bartender to plz make over and it came out balance which was much better. I seen a few ppl sent their drinks back too. The staff was nice. Food came quick. Birthdays are cute and personalized. Nice backdrops for photos. Section in the back with the roses is sooo cute and romantic/ girly. The bathrooms are neat and clean. The music was very loud may bother some tryna hold a conversation with guest. They have live karaoke. Dj played mainly spanish music which was a majority of the crowd. Dj kept them going it was fun to watch and he seemed to enjoy. Parking is a bit difficult only street parking offered.“
“First time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised. 1st off they have a parking lot, 2nd, the service was fast considering it was mothers day and it was pretty full. I called ahead of time to reserve a table and when I got there they sat us down right away. Last but not least the food was delicious. Personally The shrimp cocktail was not my favorite, I've had better but everything else was very good . Definitely recommend.Kid-friendliness: Hichairs availableParking: Big parking lot“
“(Translated by Google) The best Mexican food I've ever tasted. It doesn't necessarily have to be a big or fancy restaurant to sell tasty food.(Original)La mejor comida Mexicana que e probado. No necesariamente tiene que ser un restaurant grande ni lujoso para vender comida sabrosa.“
“Arguably the most authentic Mexican restaurant in North Jersey. Both the regular and birria tacos are amongst the best in the state, and likely in the tri-state area as a whole. The owners also seem to really care and show pride in their business. There is a lot of phony "Mexican" restaurants that don't have authentic Mexican food, but I can assure you that this place is as authentic as it gets-- I am EXTREMELY picky with my Mexican foods, and this one passes the tests with flying colors. Highly recommended.“
“(Translated by Google) Very good customer service 100% recommended and the food is not to mention super tasty????????????????(Original)Muy buen servicio al cliente 100% recomendado y la comida no se diga mas super sabrosisimo????????????????“
“Great little gem in Passaic for authentic Mexican food. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept cards, but no worries if you forget because they do have an ATM inside. There is Mexican decor everywhere, so you really feel like you're in Mexico when you step inside!Servers are friendly and food comes out pretty quick. We went with the large guacamole and it was a good starter. Birria tacos are delicious and highly recommended. If you order the chicken quesadillas like I did you might not even need a starter because I was absolutely stuffed with the 3 pieces it came with. Tasty though!“
“One of the better Mexican Restaurants in this area. Food quality is really good, especially for the price. I really loved their Chilaquiles, but the Tamales were just average. Will definitely order again from here again. Adding to my Delivery “

“This cozy place and it's decor is really nice! You can take pictures on the horse at your own risk. The drinks and food were mouthwatering, you will not regret this spot! My friends & I will be returning.Parking: They have a parking lot if you keep driving foward you'll see it to your right“
“This restaurant is excellent in setting, food and service. We live in Mexico so we know Mexican food. It is always a good sign when the taco chips are really good. Salsa is good but could be more spicy. We both had the taco salad with chicken and it was excellent and very meaty. Everyone was pleased with their entrees. Dox XX beer on draft, very cold. Restrooms were spotless, also a good sign in a restaurant.“
“(Translated by Google) They recommended it to me and it is very tasty, the food is very good, the attention I like because the tortillas are made at the moment for me it is very good and I am very happy I have already gone many times alone with my family and I have also referred more people myself I give it five stars I hope your food continues to be good and keep going. May our God bless you.(Original)A mi me lo recomendaron y es muy rica la comida muy buena la atención me gusta porque las tortillas son hechas al momento para mí está muy bien y yo estoy muy contento ya he ido muchas veces solo con mi familia y también he referido más gente yo le pongo cinco estrellas espero que su comida siga siendo buena y sigan adelante que nuestro Dios lo bendiga“
