    I just had the best tacos Ive ever had in the Usa. Handmade, made in house tortillas. Every sauce made in house. Quality ingredients. They may have beat all the tacos I've ever eaten in my many years I've spent off and on on Mexico. The agua fresco are made natural. All delicious. Horchata tasted creamy n light like coffee. The crazy fries were huge and the sauces fresh. The al pastor on it was tender and delicious. I tried every taco. The tortillas house made. All amazing. Best birtia I ever had. The nicest staff. Theres a cool open kitchen, open butcher concept. Free parking too Thank you.

    I stopped in this spot for dinner. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted and served by Juan. I ordered: Hibiscus, Horchata, Limonada Cucumber, Jamaica, Pina, Sandia drinks Carne Asada Burrito Birria Tacos Loaded Fries Tres Leches I loved the Hibiscus drink, the fries, and the dessert! The dessert was a favorite! All in all, it was a great restaurant

    Birria Tacos

    I never had Birria tacos and decided to try them for the first time, here. Restaurant is very clean, the kitchen is visible and ability to see your food being prepared. The customer service is excellent the cashier answered all my questions as this was my first visit to this restaurant. The presentation of the food is good. I gave 4 stars due to the meat being tough. I would have liked more flavor in the meat. The consommé lacked flavor as well. I didn't taste the sides. I will visit this restaurant again and try different menu items.

    Just Tacos in Garfield, NJ. I'm always craving Al Pastor Tacos and Just Tacos does them right! Everything is homemade here from the tortillas to the guacamole. Nothing beats an Al Pastor Taco made from freshly marinated pork. The meat is cut to order and nothing beats it! The lunch bowl is definitely worth checking out! It's filled up with rice protein veggies and it starts at $12.99. Everything is homemade here and you can def taste the difference-even the tortillas are homemade! I love that are BYOB and they make all of their jugo frescas from scratch...no shortcuts on everything! The service is amazing and everyone is so nice!

    Love this spot! the food was amazing. We didn't get any hot cheetos on our elote but that was ok but didn't like that was online option. Birria was delicious. Place is a good spot for takeout but you can also sit down. Delicious regardless of where you enjoy it.

    Wow, wow, wow Best tacos in Jersey. We had the carne asada, carnitas, birria, carne adobada, al pastor, pulpo, surf and turf and everything was delicious. The flavors super authentic. The meat super tender, shrimp juicy, the guac sauce and the toppings so good too. They make the tortillas on the spot. The guacamole was amazing too. The salsas they have are so good too. Please have one of their fresh aguas, we tried them all - you can't go wrong. This is our new fav mexican spot Thank you EDUARDO for making the experience do cool.

    Very good tacos that are full of meat. A little expensive for what it is but since they are so full of meat they are worth it. Just would like a taco lunch to not cost $24. Tried the pastor tacos and they were some of best I've had and definitely the most filled. The mayo mahi taco was a little fishy but still very good and at $5 was a good price. The guy helping me was very nice. I think his name was chef Miko or something. They had a video of him dancing on taco Tuesday. There wasn't many people in there and it took a little longer than you would like waiting for tacos. I can't imagine how long it would have been if they were busy. I will definitely be back. Probably on taco Tuesday to see ake advantage if their great $3 taco deal.

    By the time you finish reading this review, you should have added this spot to your bookmarks collection... yes, the tacos are that good! I popped in on a Tuesday night with one hell of an appetite. My order: *3 tacos: 1 carne asada (hanger steak), 1 carne adobada (marinated pork), 1 longaniza (sweet sausage)- Each taco is served with onion, cilantro, and avocado sauce. They also provide 3 different types of hot sauces at varying spice levels. Every single one was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Generous portions of well seasoned meat on fresh tortilla... yum, yum, yum! My favorite one was the carne adobada. *32 oz. Horchata drink $7- It's hard to find good horchata around here, but this place does it justice! I should have gotten the smaller size (16 oz) cause this bad boy was huuuuuge. If you're a fan of rice-flavored drinks, get this! *Churros $6- A straight forward dessert, but this hit the spot. Crispy, fluffy, and not overly sweet. Everything is made fresh to order, and you're able to see them prepare your food since they have an open kitchen. All of the employees here are incredibly welcoming and provide wonderful service. They checked on me every now and then to see if I was enjoying my meal and if I needed anything. You can tell they take pride in their business and food. The biggest downside is that the prices are pretty high. You're going to be paying almost $5-$6 for a single taco and $15-$20 for a burrito or quesadilla.

    Best Mexican spot in NJ. I happened to be walking to another place to eat in the area and overheard people talking about this spot. I walked in and loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The menu is simple yet has everything you'd want when craving Mexican. I was greeted by Enrique who let me sample all of their homemade drinks. We ordered a ribeye burrito, birria tacos, mahi mahi tacos, shrimp tacos and ribeye tacos. They were all excellent. Even the tortilla is homemade and you can see them making it. The birria soup is full of flavor and they give you plenty to dip your birria tacos in. Highly recommend!

    3 different tacos and 4 spicy sauces.

    What a great places, interesting concept. Got their 3 individual tacos. All were tasty, my favorite was the pulpo, octopus tasted just the way I like it. They also gave a 4 different spicy sauces, those were also interesting.

    I was craving tacos after spending $75 grocery shopping haha and decided to try a new spot I had seen. I got there an hour after opening, the spot was large and clean. I was greeted by the man at front and he was nice and welcoming, answered my questions too. I mentioned it was my first time there and he offered me a sample of the horchata which was delicious. I ordered 4 tacos, pulpo,carne asada, al pastor & carne adobada. They all came with onions, cilantro & an avocado sauce. The pulpo also had a pineapple avocado salsa which I thought would be too sweet by was not. On the side was radishes, lime, an onion bulb and a hot pepper. Caution that pepper is hot! Also came with 2 little sauces, red & green. I stayed away from the red but the green one was delicious! He did suggest I sit and eat there so they were hot & fresh but I had those dang groceries in my car haha My fav tacos were the carne & pulpo, I'll definitely try the other ones too and sit inside to eat to get the full experience. Overall I will be back, good food, good service.

    So many different taco proteins to choose from and they were all amazing! Can't go wrong with birria and the shrimp tacos were so flavorful. All of the agua frescas were fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Homemade sauces are very good. Highly overpriced. If they would cut their prices they would get much more traffic.

    My go-to Mexican place to order for take out. I love them so much. They are one of the few taco…read moreplaces that have lengua (tongue) tacos. There may be some of you that read that and think, "Ew. Tongue?" When done right, lengua is so tender and flavorful and Maya Mexican does it right. They also have the best guacamole (it's so fresh and amazing) and tortas. I usually get the birria torta. The soup is divine and possibly a spiritual experience when consuming. Definitely order from here. I've never eaten at the restaurant but maybe I should. I can't imagine how much more amazing it would be if I ate it fresh out of the kitchen!

    The taco craving hit us one Sunday so we decided to pick some up on our way home from running…read moreerrands, at around 1:30. There is street parking so if you wait around long enough, you'll be able to get a spot. We had the birria tacos, al pastor, and lengua. We originally wanted to try the oreja and campechanos but they didn't have it that day. These are probably the best quesabirria tacos I've had in the area. I'm normally not a huge fan because it usually ends up being soggy, and I don't really like braised meat, as it tends to be dry. That wasn't the case here. The tacos were still crispy 20 minutes later, and the meat wasn't dry. It was stuffed to the max with beef and cheese. The broth was also very good and not watery like most other places tend to be. The al pastor tacos and lengua tacos were also very good. They're a bit smaller than similar taco spots in the neighborhood but it's quality over quantity here. If they added fresh pineapple to the pastor, it would have brought the taco over the top. I also enjoyed their homemade (sauces). They have a kick to it but be careful with the dark chipotle looking one. One drop of that, and you'll be good. Will definitely be back for some more tacos. Hopefully next time, they'll have the oreja and campechano.

    After doing some shopping at Jersey garden mall in Elizabeth. I was starving and wanted to eat…read moresomething that wasn't from the food court at the mall. Me , being the foodie I am. I decided to go on a foodie adventure to find some birria tacos. I came across this place in the heart of Elizabeth. 10 minutes away from the mall. The place is small but you can sit and eat your food there. I wanted the whole experience , so I did just that lol. Place looked clean, person at the counter greeted me and was nice. I went on a Wednesday afternoon. There was just one person sitting there eating. I ordered my Birria Tacos and waited patiently lol. I was so excited to try these. When the food was brought to the table, I thought how beautiful and yummy does this look... (pictures below) The tacos were absolutely delicious. They give u 4. Most places give 3 , so that's a plus right there lol. I personally love the amount of cilantro and onions that were on top of the tacos. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The consume.. just makes it that much better. It was definitely a mouthgasm moment lol! Going back most likely on the weekend!! Definitely recommend this spot. I always love supporting small businesses like this one. Things to know.. -You have to park in the street. Pay the meter. (I went during the week, not sure about the weekend and if you have to pay the meter ) -They take Apple Pay and cards -I paid $20, W/tip included (although it's optional) & a drink. Not too bad specially when the food is worth every penny. -Good options as far as food and drinks. (Not only birria tacos ) - They sell desserts as well. In the fridge by the drinks! Enjoy!!

    I used to love this place but 2 orders of Tacos and the guy says $35 my jaw almost hit the floor…read more... not only that the man making my tacos came from hanging out outside and I'm saying to myself is he drunk ??? Pretty sure he was he didn't wash his hands ugh but I was hungry!! The next morning my butthole let me know it was pissed I was pooping alllll day !!! I should have went around the corner to my favorite spot but the line was so damn long !!!

    I have been here previously. my first experience with taqueria D&K was at their stand in the…read moremeadowlands flea market. I was blown away by how good their tacos were and knew i had to go back to their main location to see what's the word in flavortown. Tacos Al Pastor (9.4/10) - HOLY SHITTTT. This is arguably one of the best al pastor tacos i've had in my life (like top 10). The meat was reallyy juicy, the flavors were seeping out of that marinated meat. The pineapples were really well paired, cooked in a way that went beautifully with the pork. The tortilla, which happened to be different from the last time i got them, was still solidd. Overall all together this taco was formed elegantly and was so good i didn't even consider the sauces at first. (the sauces were buss af tho don't get me wrong). Birria Pizza (8.4/10) - The first time I got this pizza pizza, it came with a cute little mexican flag in the center. I was a little sad that it did not come with it this time :( The box came with a lovely abundant amount of limes, radishes, and cucumbers. It was all in a little baggie, I only wish the cucumbers were separated, they tasted sour because of the limes. The pizza was cut in 8 fairly sized slices, and did not hold back on the meats, but was just a little light on the cheese for my liking (I like cheese a lot). The tortllla was pretty decent and held its weight, I wish it had a little more of a bite to it, but that might just be on me for ordering a little too early (10 minutos). The meat was pretty good, nothing too crazy and about what i expect from eating birria meats. The cheese, although not plentiful, still was good and i love me some cheese (a cheese pull would've been so buss istg). These ingredients alone made for a fairly good experience, BUT what really brought it to the next level was the combination of each slice with a healthy fixing of radishes, lime juice, consome, and green sauce specifically. Consome (8.5/10) - For sure one of the better consomes i've had, it gave a very much needed moisture to the pizza pizza. They were so kind to give us not one but DOS CONSOMES CTM. The soup itself had its own great level of flavor, just the right amount of oiliness, meatiness, saltiness, and love. I was so happy to find that there was meat in the bottom of the cup, which slurped up oh so nice in my mouth ;) You know that shit when you could drink it by itself and not feel like your mouth is covered in salt crystals. Green sauce (7.6/10) - When you're used to green salsas being heavy on flavor and lighter on potency, it throws you off when you get a green sauce that flips the script! This sauce was still good and paired well with the tacos and even better with the pizza. On its own though you don't taste the typical green flavor immediately, you are met some spice at first ironically enough. Still a good sauce overall but I can definitely see it being better. Red Sauce (5.1/10) - Honestly I kinda tasted this one and put it away, I didn't really notice the flavors of it with or without the food, and only got a higher taste of spice than the green sauce. But also less flavor than the green one weirdly enough. (Esto si que es). Nopale (6/10) - The flavor was mild but alright, it had a nice crunch to it though. It didn't really pair with the tacos in my humble opinion, but i could see it pairing nicely with other dishes that have a rice and bean base. Green onion (7/10) - found it in my al pastor box, it was good, enough said. Overall in total I enjoyed my experience here once again, I would like to point out that the red sauce was different from the last times i've gotten, which was disappointing to find out because that og was fucking buss. But it did not take away from this meal, i enjoyed the tacos and pizza pizza a lot. The people are very generous with their serving sizes, additives, and maybe attitudes (we didn't really talk to the workers). I will be coming back for sure, next time i'm gonna try the burritos and get to the bottom of why people keep shitting on it, it's got me curious i gotta be deadass flavortown.
