This place deserves a 6th star! They are just so consistently excellent. My son likes to try something new each time we ordered and you can taste the love, pride, freshness and quality in each bite and sip you take. It would be a crime to compare it to the other local places in the area because they are that good. You really can't go wrong in whatever you choose to order and frankly I can't remember ever saying that in a review. The only thing I'd warn you about is their small innocent looking red hot sauce. I do love some heat but this sauce will clean out your sinuses and have you tearing up. It packs a punch. Stick to the green sauce and use the red very sparingly. read more

I stopped in this restaurant on a wing, right after being lent down by the Auto Spot dealer. The restaurant had great service from the start, though it was not busy at the moment when I arrived. I would describe the setting as casual. You can order for dine-in or take away. On the day that I visited, it happened to be "taco Tuesday." So, I ordered from the specials and decided to try the single Pollo taco. The staff member added sliced catcus on the side since I inquired about the cactus taco. I guess I wasn't too daring to try a whole one just yet. That was my first time trying catcus... it wasn't bad at all. The taco was great. Authentic, freshly made corn tortilla, well seasoned chicken, and plenty of veggies and toppings to go with it. Based on how the restaurant is set up, you can see your order being prepared and cooked made-to-order. There were about 4-5 different sauces that were presented to the table to try with the taco ranging from heat setting from mild to flaming hot. I tried each since I am not afraid of a little spice. Along with the taco , I tried the tree Leche and the churros. Both were delicious The tres leche was a good portion, moist, and flavorful. When you order the churros, you are provided a choice of a sauce to choose from (caramel, raspberry, chocholate). I tried the raspberry sauce and caramel. The churros also were filled with a creme. Both sauces paired well with the churros, but the raspberry sauce gives it an edge. There is ample parking in a lot since the restaurant is within a plaza that is shared with other food businesses and retail shops. read more

$45 for fries with asada, and an order of birria tacos only? This is with no drinks or extras. My husband enjoyed his birria tacos, but my fries did not taste fresh cut; I may be wrong, but they tasted like frozen fries put in the fryer. Wouldn't come again. Luckily there are great Mexican finds in surrounding cities. read more

Just Tacos - Asada fries, took out the Jalapeños. It was ok. Papas were mushy - Tacos Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

My wife really didn't like her nachos. I had chicken tacos which were perfectly fine. But at this price and with so many good (and affordable) tacos just across the river in Passaic, it just isn't worth it. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Just Tacos - 3 different tacos and 4 spicy sauces. - Tacos Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

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

This place is in a little strip mall, parking is not a problem is plenty of parking, the place inside is nice and clean, tables inside and out with HIGH CHAIRS ONLY, the service and music are good not to loud, just perfect. The food was absolutely amazing, I had tacos, carne asada bowl, horchatas to drinks and for dessert churros and flan. I can describe the flavor in every single bite is something you have to try by yourself, you wont be disappointed if you are looking for something different and tasty when it comes to Mexican. The only thing i did not like is the high chairs a few tables and normal chairs will be nice. read more

If you're looking for GOOD and AUTHENTIC tacos, this is your place. I'm definitely a taco snob. And this place is great. We do delivery from this place pretty frequently. Absolutely love love love the Al pastor here and I had a burrito that was out of this world. Taco salad is bomb too. Loved the elotes and also the fresh juices. Don't forget the churros for dessert. I will say parking can be wild here because of the location but don't let that deter you! read more

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. read more

Authentic, delicious, and welcoming -- this place is a hidden gem! The customer service is top-notch -- everyone is friendly and makes you feel right at home. The food? Absolutely amazing. You have to try the quesabirria and the steak -- both are full of rich, authentic Mexican flavor that hits just right. And don't leave without getting an agua fresca -- they're made with real fruit and taste incredibly fresh. 10/10 recommend if you're craving something real and satisfying! read more

I've been wanting to try Just Tacos for a while after seeing them on Instagram, and I finally had the chance to stop by when I was in the area. First off, the location is in a busy parking lot, so be careful, but it's in the corner and there's plenty of parking, which is a nice bonus! The staff is super friendly, and the place is spacious if you want to sit down and enjoy your meal. I tried their quesobirria tacos, and they were absolutely delicious--sorry, I ate them before I remembered to take a photo! The taco was packed with flavor, and the green sauce on top was a perfect touch. I also had a steak taco, which was just as tasty. The lemonade was refreshing and a great complement to the meal! Overall, definitely one of the best tacos I've had, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more items on the menu! read more

Wow. Great little taco place. Found them on Instagram and had to check them out. Very fresh tacos. We had steak and chicken. Both were great. The place is clean and the food came out really fast. We also had a side of chips and guacamole and the guacamole was really fresh, the chips were warm. Super friendly service as well. read more

The quality of the food and seasoning were fine but the portions are no way near what I and my wife received and as depicted in the pictures I see presented here. Together we paid over $35 for, excuse the pun, just tacos, no drinks, plastic plus bus your own table. Not budget friendly for that kind of money I'd rather order from Sofia's in Hasbrouck Heights. Two chicken pitas comes with fries and more chicken than 16 tacos. read more

Authentic tacos, period. I had the Alpastor and the carne asada... wow! Service was quick and friendly. This place is so clean!! will be back! read more

Yes the Mahi Mahi taco I ordered was mouth watering!! I also had a El Pastor and although it was delicious it's a bit overpriced in my opinion $10 for 2 tacos Mabey I'll indulge once in a while for the Mahi Mahi and Octopus but that's it ... I can get the rest for half the price at many of the authentic Mexican taco spots in the area !!! read more

Whether one's looking for the perfect spot to celebrate Taco Tuesday or just seeking out some of the local Mexican restaurants, this fast-casual Mexican establishment located off of River Drive in Garfield recently opened about a month ago and is where I decided on dinner. Just Tacos specializes only in tacos with varieties such as carne asada, carnitas, or hot-pressed birria with cheese, to name a few. Upon arrival in their modern open concept kitchen, there were a few patrons enjoying their meal and greeted by Brenda. For takeout, I opted for the carne asada (hanger steak), pollo (chicken), surf and turf (beef and shrimp), and longaniza (sausage) taco with a side of nopal (sauteed cactus leaves) and washing down with the agua de Jamaica (hibiscus tea). While waiting, I exchanged a few words with one of the owners, Juan. They believe in preserving the rich heritage and history of Mexican cuisine, specifically the importance of corn in the tortilla-making process, whose tortillas are made fresh and hold the meats perfectly. Their unique blend of flavors with every bite created a truly authentic Mexican tasting experience in every taco. The price is a bit steep but worth the meal, which I can recommend. read more

was craving flan and just tacos popped up. i ordered carne asada and mahi mahi tacos. horchata and of course flan. both tacos were spectacular. the mahi mahi was amazing. the red sauce is better than the green for me. the red is spicy nd the green was too vegetal for me. the horchata was just ok and the flan was too pale for me nd a bit too loose. read more

Outstanding. Food is important, service is more important. These guys checked both boxes.. the only thing better than the food was the service. The staff really cares and wants to make sure you love your food.. Will return, many times, for sure.. read more

Bottom Line: Go here! Service and food quality are amazing! Juan and Enrique made sure my friends and I enjoyed our food and experience. We split an order of Quesabirria Tacos and Carne Asada tacos (not pictured because we devoured them on sight LOL) The octopus tacos (pictured) were a treat that was shared. As someone who does not typically order octopus, I enjoyed these and would highly recommend with the mango salsa! read more

Absolutely amazing. This place is fairly new and the food is phenomenal!!! I love Mexican food in general but I have to say this is one of the BEST meals I've had. I got the tacos (4 of them) shrimp, mahi mahi and 2 of the ribeye. Unreal. We also got the birria toco, so much flavor. The service was also so good, the owner was personally serving us and very attentive and sweet. Very nice seating inside as well. Will be coming back to this place again and again!! read more

Just Tacos - Birria Soup and Taco - Tacos Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

It's Taco Tuesday, where else are you going to go but the new taco spot in the neighborhood. Some of the more popular varieties are 2.99 on Tuesday so that's a deal...I had all 3 pork, al pastor, adobado, and one other. Excellent guac & chips too...was that maybe the owner's mother making it? And a nice coconut flan too. Lots of flavor, great seasoning and nice presentation. And the people are super nice. You have a few taco choices around and I would say this is the best. And the space is big & clean, comfortable high-top seating, nice lighting. Plenty of parking. Now if they would get some brisket from Pastrami Grill a few doors down that would make a tasty special. But they don't need it, the menu is big and there are a lot of choices. Must go back & try more. Must! Don't sleep on this place. Soooo good. read more

This place has great food truly but they are true ******scam artists*****. I legit paid for a pick up order and they charged me a 20% tip no matter if you click no tip or change the percentage of the tip. When I brought it up to their attention they played stupid. read more

If you haven't been here yet, just drop what you're doing and GO as soon as possible. Can I give 10 stars? I happened to see this place while going to Roses (which is also amazing, they just don't have tacos) from walking in, everyone is super friendly and helpful. Customer service is definitely on point here. The owner is very hands on and super nice guy. Just Tacos opened recently, and I've already been here about once a week. Every time my experience has been fantastic, from the food to the staff! Guess I should have taken pictures but I dig in too fast to remember. Every single taco is made with love, I've had almost all of them! Also must try.. the agua Fresca and the churros! Highly recommend checking this spot out! read more

Agua fresca are the best in Jersey . Current flavors are Mango, watermelon (in December!?!), horchata, pineapple, cucumber lemonade, and jamaica. Service was the best in Jersey! Enrique was so pleasant. Tortillas and food are made fresh throughout the day. Hidden gem that deserves more praise I grew up very close to the Mexican border, I know good tacos, tortillas, etc. Going here made me feel less home sick I had birra this time. Both the birra and consome (the soup) were perfect. I'll be back to try more read more
