I've been wanting to try this for quite some time. I ordered the Afro taco bowl, steak, I also…read moreordered the blackened basa and shrimp with jollof rice and chicken quesadillas. Ok so, the taco bowl was good. I'm assuming this is their house sauce on it, I liked it. It gives me bbq sauce family taste, so if you like that then you'll enjoy this. The blackened basa and shrimp was delightful. It is a little spicy spice so if you can't hand at all, this might not be for you. But if you can take a little kick of pepper and then some you'll enjoy it. And the shrimp was nice sized thick shrimp. I appreciated that! The chicken quesadilla was good? That saucy sauce they have is mixed in the middle, so be aware of that if you're looking for the more original taste of a quesadilla. This is a black owned business that I was soo excited to support, and I will be returning to continue to support them. They are very busy, so DO ORDER YOUR FOOD Maybe about an hour out from when you actually want it.

Afro Taco has been around for a few years. They're based out of Hillside so it's nice to see them…read moresetup shop here semi-officially. Friendly service, I always like when the staff will talk and joke with you. There is parking on the nearest side street (Florence Ave), but no parking on the Main Street (Liberty Ave). I submitted updates to their info, but in case it doesn't work, their current address is the lot next to 1350 Liberty Ave, Hillside, NJ 07205. You can't really park in the lot itself as there is no driveway. You'd have to drive over the curb & sidewalk. I mean, I guess you could if you were willing to do that. Had the Oxtail empanadas, Walking (Beef) Taco, you provide the chips of your choice. Not a problem there is a 7-Eleven directly across the street, & the Oxtail Burrito. Everything was very good. They are expensive, so be prepared for that, but you get what you pay for. Grades: Oxtail Empanadas: A Walking Taco (Beef): A- Oxtail Burrito: B+

The meat is perfect and I get that they wanna keep the natural flavors of the meats which is great but they just need a literal tinsy bit of salt. Service is nice but I can't speak for ambiance due to not dining in. For some reason I don't get full off these tacos like when I go to Los tacos in New York. (Try Los tacos!!) Okay the tip review was from 2025 I have been here about 7 times. The tacos taste a bit better but them tortillas man! They need better tortillas the texture of meat is good and you want your food to stay together while you eat it.

I was in the neighborhood delivering packages (wearing a neon netted vest) and asked the older lady…read morein the front if I could use the bathroom and let her know I was doing deliveries in the area. She seemed as if she didn't understand so I asked her if she understood what I was saying. She waved her hand toward the bathroom and said "okay". When I went to open the door it was locked. I said, "oh sorry" and then waited patiently. She comes out, I go in. As I'm leaving I say, "Thank you". When I'm almost to the door the young worker said, "you're not supposed to use the bathroom". I turned around and asked her to repeat herself. After I explained the earlier exchange with the lady that said I could use it she actually said I was lying. I told her I wasn't, but then explained to her that we all are working on the same side of servicing the community, we should be sticking together, and there is nothing wrong with allowing a delivery person to use the restroom. She continued to be argumentative and say I wasn't supposed to and that I was lying. This establishment was completely empty during the afternoon on a Friday. I have decided to leave this review because, as a black woman, I cannot be sure if her disrespect was racially motivated, especially in this social climate. I would never recommend someone patron a business that treats potential customers in such a classless and demeaning manner. It's unfortunate that she felt so comfortable being so disrespectful to a grown woman despite being addressed respectfully. The owner needs to sit her down and explain how the way she handled that was inappropriate and how split decisions can affect business. She definitely has some maturing to do.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my friend who suggested this spot. Parking on premise and had…read moreno issues getting a spot. Once we entered we got greeted by the host and got seated promptly. The place was pretty big inside and was not too loud. Ordered the tacos pollo ($14) which came in 4 and was pretty good. Also got the sopes carnitas ($15.10) which also came in 4 and was really filling and delicious. I like the sope better. The Coca Cola ($3.25) is the glass bottle type that you see at Mexican restaurants. Overall this is a solid Mexican spot and I would recommend this place if you are in the mood for tacos and sopes. * Great service

This place is amazing!…read more Service is terrific, quality of ingredients & preparation is phenomenal. Everything made fresh to order and it shows. Even the lettuce, tomatoes & cucumbers were super fresh and delicious. I had my first Pupusas here and now I'm hooked. Highly recommend the tostadas --first good ones I've had since leaving Chicago. Owners on site, serving & cooking. Place is homey but minimalistic, clean and comfortable. Great place to bring the kids, but also fun for a date or a nice lunch alone with a book. They also do a great job with take out & delivery. Lots of veggie options & very accommodating to dairy-free & vegan folks. And the salsa verde! And the cassava fries!!

Tacos (Trips) - I'm super picky about these tacos because I like mine more on the crunchy side. The texture of these tacos were right in the middle of crunch with some softness to it. - Rating 4/4 Tacos (Asada & Pastor) - Both flavorful and cooked just right. - Rating 5/5 Torta (Milanesa) - Fairly large serving but has good flavor. - Rating 4/5 All tacos came in sets of 4. I was already getting full off 2.5 tacos so an order should be sufficient for anyone. The workers are nice. Place/seating area is clean. And freshly handmade tortillas.

They allow…read moreoutside food during private events (along with ordering from their menu and using the bar), which is a nice perk. This time, I stopped in on a Friday night to check out the upstairs. The drinks were a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious and strong without skimping. The daiquiri and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlights of the night. The food was just okay. The garlic shrimp were pretty good, but the rice lacked flavor and the refried beans were barely a tablespoon spread across the plate. We also had the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which was just alright -- the shrimp were a little tough. Service was great. The waiter was friendly and attentive and moved fast! Overall, it's a fun vibe and a great spot to hang out and catch up over drinks, but I'd come more for the bar than the food. There's a municipal parking lot a short walk from the main entrance.

I went for happy hour 4-6pm in the bar which had $6 margaritas and $5-9 appetizers. I enjoyed the street corn which was covered in toppings. I shared the mini chicken chimi and wings which were flavorful and tasty. I felt the portions were decent to fill us up for dinner. They even had live music in the bar area on Wednesday nights! The vibes are definitely of an old school Mexican restaurant and a bit dark inside. Service is always friendly!
