    This is not a planned visit but we were in the area and got hungry. We wanted Mexican food so of course I'm searching on Yelp and decided on this place in based on the reviews. It did not disappoint: We ordered at the counter and waited for our take out. We could have dined in because they have a good size seating area but we felt like eating at home this time. The service was good and they were fairly quick with our food. What we ordered: - Three types of tacos (carnitas, pollo, and al pastor) - Quesabirria tacos with consume - Chicken Burrito Everything was packed well and the food was delicious. We would definitely recommend and would for sure go back.

    Birria

    Hands down the best Mexican spot in Central Jersey. I've had a bunch and as far as quality vs quantity goes, Edison Tex Mex Deli has both. We stopped by on Labor Day as I wanted to bring my family here. Twice, I've had tacos de lengua (tongue), carnitas (fried pork) and al pastor (pork with pineapples) and its pretty much the best tacos I've ever had. The tongue has a flavorful yet soft texture and is one of my favorites. My wife had the birria and they were able to 86 the cilantro since she's not a fan. My mother, whose a big fan of chipotle was completely defeated by the portion if the burrito bowls here. The homemade, attention to detail quality here is top notch and definitely overshadows the larger chain restaurants. We were able to down it with some bottled mexican coke. Parking isn't amazing, but they have a small lot on one side and street parking on the other. Bathrooms are clean and this is a very popular lunch spot for the locals. Pro tip: Eat in! Everything is amazing fresh. I wouldn't imagine the taco shells traveling too well.

    So much food for a reasonable price. Everything was fresh and tasty but I don't recommend the chicharrones because they were dry. Great place though!

    Steak Burrito
    Joseph F.

    Authentic Mexican food that never disappoints and all at a reasonable price. The restaurant layout is cafeteria style. You order at the counter and there is lots of seating (and lots of somewhat awkward empty space with house plants). The service is quick and it looks like lots of folks order takeout or pickup. The birria tacos were delicious: tender meat and flavorful birria stew. The steak burrito was massive for the price (a bit heavy on the rice).

    Happy to support this local business especially because they're supporting my son's football team fundraiser. Go Edison Eagles!

    I went here for the second time in a span of two weeks. I was drawn in by the quesabirria- which is if birria tacos and quesadillas had a baby ... yes.. YUM! When I brought the quesabirria back to work I drew a lot of attention and promised I'd gladly go back with two of my colleagues the following week. The quesabirria is huge!! It's about $16 which is a lot for a quesadilla but this thing is packed with delicious flavorful beef, the outside is so buttery and crisp, and it's... HUGE! It comes in a large pizza box and fills up most of the space inside. I had intended to order something different my second time around but this was just calling my name, I couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of not having it while someone else did! It also comes with two spicy sauces- my favorite is the green sauce. I also got chips and guacamole the second time around and the guac was just perfect! I like some chunks in guacamole and they delivered, it was also very fresh. The dining area is spacious, the staff is very friendly. The lady (maybe the owner?) who rung us up today told us their food is best when you eat it there, so that is something to keep in mind. Our office is about 15 mins away and the food still tasted great and fresh when we got there, but of course nothing beats fresh from the oven- so one day I will definitely try it, and if you can, order and dine in so you can also eat the food as the chefs intend it to be!

    Taco de Carnitas
    Ashley M.

    The food was fresh, quick, and there has got to be a secret menu. I started off the meal with Jamaica. It wasn't too sweet and was the perfect refreshing drink for the dull afternoon. I went straight for the al pastor, carnitas, and a special pork taco with grilled onions. I really enjoyed the first two, but the third just didn't hit. The cuts of meat used in the special pork taco wasn't it. Pork can get dry if cooked too long and I think that is what happened. While I was waiting, I saw this man eating what looked like Barria Ramen. I looked all around the restaurant for anything that said "ramen", but couldn't find it. I am intrigued and what to go back for it because it looked delicious.

    Always passed by, but have never stopped by this place until today. Upon coming in, the interior is very clean and simple with Mexican style decor. There are multiple menus and a lot of variety of typical dishes. I knew I wanted to get some type of taco, I ordered the legua tacos & the stomach soup. My husband ordered another dish that came with meat, rice, beans, veggies. Tacos came in fast and shortly after so did the rest of the food. All the food was delicious and very authentic! I also ordered additional legua tacos, pastor tacos, & another taco that the gentleman at the cashier recommended that was popular. Those orders are in my fridge and I will finish this weekend. It's 10pm and I'm still full from those dishes so we are satisfied. There's parking in the back and entrance there so you don't have to walk around the building.

    Quesabirria
    Kathy M.

    All the food we would order is spot on, but what stood out is their quesabirria-- which I think is off menu. We've had their steak burrito, birria tacos, quesadilla and chicken tacos--5 stars for food. Flavorful and spiced just right. Their quesabirria has a kick to it, meat and spices heated up to a great crunch, served with Birria consommé and other salsas. Served in a pizza box! What made me take off a star is we ordered from this place twice and both times we had to wait another 30 minutes to get our food. Both times when we called, they said the food would we really in 45 mins. We timed our drive and drove 25 minutes away only to wait for another 30 minutes and then drive home afterwards, which really was a bummer time-wise.

    I'd never even heard of a birria taco until my greedy buzzard (in a loving way) hubby came across it on Tic Toc, of all places... He was on a mission to find a great one, and a great one he did find! Wow. This was such a treat! The birria taco platter came with 3 perfectly sized, perfectly fried tacos.. piled high with deliciously juicified pulled pork. Since I'm a little shy with how much meat I can take, so I had to take some off.. but my husband was happy to assist in that area. I made sure not to give him much of the onion and cilantro that completed every bite. Now... of course... a birria taco is not one without the dipping "sauce" that I liken to an au jus? This was a gem of a meal... and I can't wait to return and bring some fellow greedy buzzards along.

We made reservations but waited 10 minutes to be seated. It was very crowded. Prices are reasonable. Now some negatives: I didn't care for where we were seated. We were 3 people and they made a table for us upstairs in what looked like their party room. There was a table of teenage girls there for their birthday. I wanted to be in the main dining room. Also there was a DOG at the table next to us and it was not a service dog!!! If I come back I will suggest downstairs.. also to smuggle a dog into a restaurant is completely unacceptable. She whipped the dog out of her pocketbook as though she had been hiding it all night. I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC. (sidenote the dog was adorable and well behaved, but should not have been in a restaurant on a Saturday night. ) Service was very slow. It took a while for water refills and drink orders. Now onto the food: the street corn was delicious but small. Plantains were good. I also had a mango frozen margarita. (at least I think it was a frozen margarita. It came in a martini glass while everyone else had a margarita glass so I have a problem with that as well. Margaritas belong in a margarita glass ). It was good. The steak and cheese taco was also good. And the tres leches was good.

It's a curse because everything is so effing delicious and it's so far from my home! One of my daughters recommended Taco Empreso as she is a regular customer. She even spotted my nephew eating here one evening, who came all the way from Brooklyn lol. So there were three of us, who ordered an assortment of items to share. Let's start with the tacos... We ordered the Baja shrimp, Baja fish, steak, birria, asado chicken and shrimp Ensenada. Every single taco was finger licking with distinct flavors that were sooo sooo good. I could not decide on a favorite. We also shared birria fries, which were AWESOME! If I ever return... you know the rest lol. The meat was juicy, flavorful and melted in my mouth. The marinaded chicken and beef were succulent and the flavors subtly stood out. We also ordered a steak burrito, which was Cali-style with fries instead of rice. The steak was flavored, tender, and crave-able. A popular must have! We added a birria quesadilla, which was also epic. Lastly, the frozen pina coladas! Get it! The food is road trip worthy! Finally, there was a consistent line, but these dudes were so organized. The orders were getting out in a timely manner. It's also worth the wait!!!

I got the coconut lemonade and it's the best of both worlds of lemonade with pina colada vibe. My friend got the tropical fizz which was flavorful as well. For tacos we got birria, butter chicken, asada, grilled chicken, and Nashville hot chicken, and el pastor. Think the ones we enjoyed the most collectively was butter chicken, grilled chicken and asada. The sauces have a spice level to them which elevate the tacos. Guac and chips were okay a tad bland for me. The esquite corn was yummy side. It's self service where you order tacos either at register or from screen. When your name is called you pick up the food. The tables are limited. I would definitely go back to try some different tacos and for those delicious mocktails.

It was cheap, but the price wasn't ever the issue, and super tasty. The mix of Cajun and Tex mex was wonderful. Was. We drove up to visit friends, and decided to stop for old times sake, get some of the camp town shrimp, and other tasty stuff we remembered. I'll start with the vibe. I've done some reading about the aesthetics of fascism and I wonder if maybe this is just the sign of the times we live in, but gone are the fun colorful Christmas lights and the rustic, carved up dining tables. Even the waiters look boring and professional and staid in their uniforms, I can tell they aren't allowed to display any uniqueness like they used to, because there wasn't a single tattoo or piercing to be seen. The bar? Don't even get me started. It looks like it's more fun at the local Applebees. All the people sitting there looking as miserable as the newfound aesthetic of the place What did they do to this place? All the Christmas lights are bland white. The whole vibe shifted. I asked the manager on the way to the bathroom if they changed the decor and he absolutely blew off my question and didn't respond. Maybe he was afraid to. Ok, so now the food, here's the chance to make up for the unfortunate vibes. Nope. The chimichurri steak was poor quality like shoe leather, with a serving of burnt broccoli. The camp town shrimp was okay, and my husband's salmon was also substandard. The menu had shrunk, friends told us they did that because of Covid. Covid was SIX YEARS AGO BRO! Fix your restaurant. It had sad "I'm selling it to private equity" vibes. Before you know it the food will be shipped in mass produced pre-prepared and frozen, they'll get rid of cooks, and the waiter will just bring it from the microwave, like crapplebees. What an absolute shame and I haven't wrote a review in years. I can't recommend this to our friends down south who go up to visit the NY NJ area anymore! I feel like I did a disservice sending anyone there, not knowing how far it's fallen. Shame!
