Lamb and lengua (beef tongue ) tacos are incredibly tender with just a touch of a spicy kick . Great brunch portions and a strong margarita . The perfect dive taco joint.
Insanely delicious food. Very friendly staff that make you feel very welcomed. As soon as you walk in it's a mash between 80's memorabilia , and of course, Mexican themed decorations.
I can't get enough of this place. When the weather is nice... The courtyard in the back is awesome! Margaritas = strong. Great prices. Best authentic Mexican around!
So glad to have this place in the neighborhood . Just $3 for one of the best fish tacos I've ever had. Cool divey vibe, and a patio in the back.
Ranked #1 tacos in JC for a reason. I’ve never had better steak tacos or chips & salsa . Margs are a must try. Small inside & there’s usually a wait but they do takeout . Worth the wait to eat there
The Pork Tamale was amazing. And I love how the portions of the food aren't overwhelming, which allows you to try different things. I also had the fish and carnitas (pork ) tacos , which were excellent.
The barbacoa tacos are amazing (order them with the sauce on the side if you can't handle spice). Tostadas (I ordered carnitas ) are also delicious!
Brunch is amazing and enchiladas are to die for. Flan is great too. All of the tacos are great and well priced.
The tacos are phenomenal. The pork are my favorite especially when paired with a Dos Equis . The people and atmosphere are very fun and will keep you coming back for more
Solid taco spot in the heart of Jersey City. So many meat options! Make sure to ask how spicy the sauces are in your tacos , they can get up there.
If you're hungry, try the beef burrito (burritas) for $9. You get 2 large burritos w/ rice & beans. If you want something light & cheap then go for a steak taco for $3. Either way you can't go wrong.
Cozy and authentic . Pork tacos were the best I've had in a long time. Don't forget a side of guac !
Solid authentic Mexican food . It gets very busy most days - quality grub draws a crowd - so be prepared to wait for a table... or avoid the wait and get take out delivered!
Few vegetarian options . Rice has chicken broth and beans have pork . So you are left with tostados avocado 🥑 or potato flautas both of which are delicious.
Excellent tacos , Tortas , and flautas are served in a casual environment . Sit outside when the weather's nice.
Fish tacos are delicious. I also like their horchata (rice milk ) beverage, which is only available on weekends. Go early because the horchata will be gone soon. Its ok tho, you're there for the tacos !
Ask for extra spicy sauce . You won't regret it...until later at least. Goes well with an order of rice and beans or with any of the tacos or quesadillas .
Simply the best tacos you'll find anywhere, especially the lamb ones. I'll dream of these tacos for months as nothing else compares.
Cheap , authentic Mexican food . Grab a few tacos (the fish taco is my favorite!) and try to find a seat outside in the backyard .
Absurdly delicious Mexican food . Whether you dine in or order you won't be disappointed. Cactus tacos are on point and the guac is awesome
The food is amazing. The carnitas tostada is probably my favorite dish in JC. I do wish they had a different salsa to go with their chips .
One of the best margaritas I have ever had. And the steak is exceptional. Perfect for any day of the week. Expect waiting time on weekends.
Always ask what's vegetarian . They seem to keep changing what they put in each dish (lard, chicken stock , etc.) so good to find out. Everything is delicious, though!!
Fish and steak tacos are so good! My mouth waters just thinking about them. My husband says the chorizo are best. Staff can be rude, you'll probably wait to sit but worth it! Food so good!!!
Some of the best Mexican in the New York metro area. Everything is good. Big fan of the fish taco , flauntas and tortas .
Amazing places. Food was delicious. Love the decor. Lamb and chorizo tacos were to die for!!!
Delicious! Chilaquiles is amazing. Tacos awesome. Weekend brunch , yum. Dinner rocks too!
I always have the chorizo tacos , I usually try something new, it's always good and in a dozen or so times I have never encountered rudeness.
Spicy sausage taco and refreshing cactus taco is always a good combo. I usually get the lamb taco too, because I am Mediterranean like that. Fish taco varies depending on the day.
Tacos have the kick that I'm looking for. Chorizo , fish , and carnitas - all so good. Use the hot sauce too!
Great authentic tacos in jersey city. Fish tacos and pork tacos are the best.
Tacos and tacos and tacos . Authentic and cheap . Can't complain.
Tacos are great. Izzy is excellent behind the bar .
this place is great...cool decor, good food...only negative..it can be too loud at times
It was hard to find good Mexican food on the East coast after living in CA but their food here is authentic , delicious and cheap . Get the fish tacos !
The fish anbd pork tacos are both good. Hell they're whole menu is good. This place is BYOB too (I never got hassled for it). They're home made hot sauce is great too! Make sure you ask for it.
Authentic tacos !! Very small place but that adds to the charm and is worth the wait!!
The bistec taco is the best, but they're all good. Brunch bloody marys are $3 and delicious.
Chorizo and barbacoa tacos are my fave...You'll enjoy too if you like spice.
The tortilla soup is an explosion of flavors to your mouth. A must-have. It's a special of the day so it might not be available every day.
Carnitas tacos are the best. Flautas aren't bad either. The chips they give you when you first sit down are great.
There are "no fajitas ," "no nachos ," "no cute clay or adobe plates to match the cute clay or adobe decor" and "no fancy menus with a history lesson on Mexico."
The salsa and the dip is fresh made and always served first. I will always always a second batch.
Very crowded at dinner time. The food was very good, as promised. Wait for a table for 4 on a Saturday night was 45 minutes. Margaritas are VERY strong.
They have outdoor seating . Try the pork , chorizo , lamb , cactus , fish tacos . Really really good!
the real deal - no nachos , no fajitas , and none of those pillow-shaped burritos , damnit!
Love this place but not how crowded it gets with the six pack crowd. Fish tacos amazing. Ana the waitress gives attitude as a side, even when you don't want it. Avoid her.
Great margaritas & good vegetarian options .
The tacos were fantastic! I would have ordered more if I had an extra stomach.
The patio in the back = one of the best spots to dine al fresco in Jersey City
The food here is AMAZING!!! It's all made fresh. Try the tacos dorados. And the steak quesadilla is great - Madelin Castillo
Veggie flatbread with seitan, seitan tacos, corn appetizer - Ashka Meh
I love the apricot and grapefruit flavors! Love the ambience! - Shruti Ramaswamy
chocolate peanut butter!!! you can see the chunks of peanut buttery goodness - sarah bennett
Great burgers and even better fries. My favorite is the Jersey Burger. - Ben Burton
