    birria Sauce
    Aneesha M.

    I ordered the birria tacos for takeout which came with four tacos and all the right sides: birria sauce, red and green salsa, onions, cilantro, lime, cucumber, and chips. The flavors came together really nicely when adding in all the toppings and green sauce and overall tasted fresh and satisfying. Only thing I didn't love was the birria sauce itself. It was a different flavor than the classic version and was missing that rich slow-cooked taste from the spices and vegetables. Overall, it was a good satisfying meal.

    Got takeout from here. The restaurant is bright and pretty even if the outside of the restaurant was dark. We got a veggie burrito, smothered green chilli chicken burrito and chicken empandas. Food was good. We enjoyed everything we got. I would have liked a little more flavor on the chicken burrito since it seems without the green chilli sauce, it would have been a little plain. However, green chilli sauce was good and made the dish. Price for 4 pieces of empanadas was a little steep but I guess thats inflation :(. Guac that came with empanadas was lacking some zing (lime and onions). Veg burrito was good. Would order again.

    We went for Mother's Day brunch and the brunch menu was so delicious! I don't know if they have this menu all the time but they definitely should. Everyone there is super friendly and the ambiance in the restaurant is really cute

    Absolutely love Agave! The best Quesabirria tacos and fresh chips! I usually get takeout but their restaurant is really cute and has a great "dia de Los muertos" upbeat vibe. Great service and just amazing food cooked with love and care. It's a gem!

    This is a cute little decorated spot off the beaten path. Our waitress was nice and super busy with most of the tables . They are a BYOB . You can bring the liquor and they can make your margaritas on ice . The menu is pretty decent but not overwhelming like some . We ordered chicken and birria tacos , and a burrito . Portions are pretty big but flavor profile just didn't hit the spot for me but tasty enough. We sat at a high top by the counter which wasn't the best spot considering all the customers picking up orders are all up your back so it was a bit annoying. All in all this place was pretty decent .

    The onion rings were excellent--perfectly crisp, fresh, and served in hearty portions. The décor was stylish and really enhanced the overall vibe. The food is tasteful and fresh definitely looking forward in trying different dishes.

    **just found out they stole their instagram photos from @chefkodak in atlanta.. ** It was okay. Overpriced for basic diner food. We were very hyped by their instagram page and the photos look amazing, but the actual food is nothing like the photos. The birria cheesesteak had slices of yellow american just draped on top, no cheese mixed in at all. Fries were just basic frozen fries. Wings were good. Steak and Shrimp tacos were good but again, nothing special. For $28 a plate, not worth it. There are better places to spend that kind of money for better quality meals. Again, Diner quality.

    Hidden Gem, very cozy and beautifully decorated. The staff was super warm and friendly, especially Tracy, she was a great waitress and very knowledgeable of all entrees and made great recommendations. The food was authentic and seasoned to perfection. The food portions are very large. Burritos and tacos definitely didn't disappoint. Great for a girls night or even date night. Love it and will definitely be back.

    The current menu is 90% Mexican, so the Italian fusion is missing. Sat in the outside area, and it's covered with many tarps hooked together. Be careful if rain in forecast, as there are gaps, especially in the middle of the area. The plastic black tables had white stains on them. There is a long bench seat against the "window wall" . We had initially been seated against the plastic window wall, and there was the smell of cigarettes from a near area/neighbor. The music was a pop/rap playlist that didn't lend to the dining atmosphere.

    In the best way possible this place is so girl with the best food ‍ I would give them more stars if I could. The server was so sweet too!!

    Food was wonderful and our waiter was friendly and helpful with picking items off the menu. We ate out back on the patio and it was lovely, until the flies hit, and they hit hard. They were all over the place. Not sure how to keep them away, but it would earn the 5th star.

    Burrito Fajita Bowl
    Terry L.

    My wife and I stopped by for dinner last weekend. We've ordered take out from Agave before but we felt we really needed to dine in to judge. Appetizers are not pictured (nachos and empanadas were both excellent.) I really appreciated the nachos were not covered in cheese sauce and sour cream. I love both but too much and the nachos get soggy. My wife ordered the fajita bowl and loved it. Steak was well seasoned, and rice and veggies were cooked perfectly. I had the birria tacos. Absolutely outstanding. The dipping sauce that comes with the tacos is made from the drippings of the birria. It's essentially a Mexican au jus. It's the perfect compliment to the tacos. BYOB. Make sure to make reservations. Seating is limited and dinning room will fill up fast at dinner time.

    Birria Ramen
    Daniel F.

    Food was delicious. Best Birria tacos I've had and the Birria Ramen soup was a 12/10! Our server was also amazingly pleasant and was all around very happy, and had a good presence to her! Me and my gf live an hour away and we'll definitely take a drive back just to have this again! For three entrées, dessert, and two drinks, everything was very affordable! P.S - tres leches cake was immaculate and sensational!

    La Taqueria is a small, neat and clean Mexican/Guatemalan place off route 206. They've a good menu…read morewith most of the usual suspects on it, and they're located next to a small market where you can pick up a bag Cacahuates Japoneses to enjoy on the drive home. Service is friendly and efficient. Orders are made at the counter, or, dare you dare, via QR codes located at the table. Parking is limited, and because it's located between two one-way streets, it can be tricky coming in to or leaving. The Sopes at La Taqueria are a must to try. They're heavily ladened with tasty toppings, and I'd order them again in a heartbeat. The chorizo sope was especially good, and had enough chorizo on it to make two Sopes. Be forewarned that you will not have clean hands after eating them. On another visit I tried the fish tacos. Fish tacos at La Taqueria are the chopped/shredded variety rather than the deep fried filet version. The tortillas themselves were heated well, but were nothing special, nor was the flavor of the fish itself anything remarkable. I expected something more interesting from the place. On the flip side, I also tried a Taco de Tripa, asking for it to be cooked crisp (Tripa in Mexico is pork chitterling, not tripe) and it was very, very (feel free to insert more verys) good, and is definitely a taco I'll try again and again. During our most recent visit, we had the Enchiladas de Pollo en Mole, which brought four enchiladas in a deeply flavored mole with rice and beans. The mole was not sweet like so many other moles in other area restaurants, but was instead relying heavily on the flavors of the chiles. It was very tasty, and a nice change from the usual sweet moles. We also had an excellent Huarache de Lengua, a thick, oval tortilla ladened with beef tongue. I have a feeling my wife will be ordering it each time we return. In addition, we ordered a bowl of the Sopa de Panza y Pata, a soup with a spicy broth and loaded with cow's hooves and tripe. It was a meal in itself, and was also served with rice on the side along with some thick corn gorditas. I was torn between four and five stars here, and if the fish tacos hadn't been such a bust, they'd probably have gotten that fifth star. La Taqueria is definitely in the top tier of local Mexican/Guatemalan restaurants, and will be part of our regular rotation going forward.

There was a large crowd gathered around the food truck, and a generator running nearby made it difficult to hear when names were called. I didn't hear mine, so my mother-in-law politely asked about our order. Instead of simply checking, the young man at the front responded with an attitude and repeatedly pointed out that our name had already been called. When my mother-in-law then asked for napkins, he visibly rolled his eyes. I understand that food trucks can get busy, but there's no reason to treat customers that way--especially when the environment makes it easy to miss your order being called. A little patience and courtesy would have gone a long way. The food was okay, but the customer service left a much stronger impression, and unfortunately, not a positive one.

Overall, 20/10 and I will be stalking their next location to try other items including a cheesesteak and the tacos.

I instantly realized how the interior looks identical to Los Tacos No. 1. The Coca-Cola insignia is displayed to the left and right of the restaurant name. The menu is painted on a large wall. Even the employees wear white uniforms and white chef hats. Originally, I was confined this restaurant was going to be a cheap knock-off. Ordering is done through an in-store kiosk. Although I was skeptical using the computer screen, I found it easy to navigate and was able to fulfill my lunch order without requesting any assistance. The meal took a few minutes to arrive, but that was because the servers were freshly making it on the spot. I started to get a good feeling as I witnessed the chefs in action. As soon as I took my first bite, I realized I was mistaken about my initial impression. All tacos are prepared with fresh ingredients with a smoky flavor. The shells are soft and doughy. Juices from the protein slightly compromised the appearance, but the taste is fantastic! There is a salsa bar offering complimentary toppings for your tacos. Limes, pickled onions, and three flavors of salsa are an option. The seating is kind of tight, but it's meant to be eaten in a fast paced atmosphere. Overall, I didn't think I was going to have a great experience, but this location surpassed my expectations by a long shot. I was very impressed with Taco Empreso! #tacoempreso #tacoempresoedisonnj #tacos #halaltacos
