Overall food and ambience was okay. Service was quick and helpful .Got the Chicharróns and Birria tacos. Tacos were good and juicy. The consume lacked in flavor a little. the Chicharrón were a little on the dry side, but okay. The guac was very nice. The place has a lot of seating inside and large drink selection. Would definitely recommend for some authentic Mexican food. The menu is very large, so I am excited to try more from them!

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!

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.

Chicken quesobirria which comes in a pizza box...had to be the biggest quesadilla I ever had, very tasty

This place is a hidden gem. About a 3 months ago I discovered Birria Kitchen in Edison which is also amazing but this place is a little closer to my house. I have had the El pastor tacos, chicken Birria tacos, and the quesobirria which is a Birria style quesadilla. The inside of the restaurant is large, plenty of seating. Large menu with plenty of authentic selections. They even serve breakfast here. I would have rated the restaurant 5 stars but the consome kind of reminded me of a simple chicken stock/broth or a bone broth. Didn't have much flavor to it. I have ordered take out when I went and you do wait a while for your meal if you don't call ahead which I would recommend...other than that the food here is excellent and portion size is great.

Amazing Birria Tacos and even better customer service! I had al pastor and beef, they were very accommodating with any additions or changes I wanted to make.

Ok.. hurts to write this but it needs to be said…read more Been going here since first week open. The tacos were delicious, well seasoned, and the salsas were amazing. But....now it seems that the spice level only serves a specific crowd. Even the guacamole the last time we ordered it was an 8 on a scale of 1-10 for how spicy it was. I think it's great that establishments can get creative with certain dishes to appease all dietary needs, and even fuse two cultures. However, you're still a "Mexican" taco joint. All three of your salsas and now the guac are WAAYYYY too spicy. You can have spicy but for some people who really enjoy the wood fired flavor of the meat, it's DROWNED OUT WITH HEAT. Also, i have ordered tacos several times through the online method and chose NO SAUCE.. tacos still came with sauce (8/10 spice scale of course) and ruined the tacos Please pay attention to the modifications.. if it's too much, a: don't offer them, or b: make sure your employees know how to read the modifications Probably won't go back until they either open a spot for their newly intended audience or revert to a taco spot again.

Soon thereafter, they announce that your food is ready. My wife loved the guacamole and chips and chicken birria and smashed burger tacos. I had an amazing El Pastor bowl. Lots of food for the price and all of it was delicious, absolutely a flavor bomb! Delicious meat, rice, beans, toppings, and a couple of fantastic sauces. The perfect lunch for me! Had a tasty Jamaica drink with it. Really glad we tried Taco Empreso!
