    This review is based solely off the food & service I was offered at the @NjTacoFestival this year…read morevia their taco truck! Service: All of the workers seemed insanely happy and excited to be here. They were insanely fast, and attentive to the fast paced environment. Food: I ordered the quesabirria, that came with a side of consume. It was huge and FULL of meat! I was full nearly all day off of that alone. Their *super spicy* diabla sauce, was the BEST I'd ever had in all of my years of tacos, and it was actually spicy! (Ya girl is feeling it today ). Usually when I order this sauce it's wildly red and not spicy at all. I quite literally went and asked the folks at the end of the fest if I could buy a container of their sauce, and they handed me some and say they make it fresh in house daily! I cannot wait to go visit this spot in person, till then I'll be ordering via uber eats for sure!

    Hands down one of my favorite taco spots! My go-tos are the steak, blackened fish, and the…read moreModelo-battered fish tacos--each one is packed with flavor and always served in generous portions. The guacamole is easily one of the smoothest and most flavorful I've had anywhere. What keeps me coming back is not just the food, but the consistency. Every visit comes with bold, fresh flavors and warm hospitality. And let's not forget the convenience--a parking lot in the back makes the whole experience that much smoother.

    On a weeknight, my husband and I placed a takeout order for dinner. We drove over. I was behind the…read morewheel, and he hopped out to pick up since street parking on Harrison can be tough. Folklore has nice taco options for vegetarians. The hibiscus (flower) taco with slaw was so good. It's flavorful and hearty, and a satisfying meat alternative. We also tried the mushroom-spinach tacos with onion and cilantro; next time I would try this one with the slaw or ask for hot sauce or something to spice it up because it's fresh and good, but it paled in compared to the flavors of the hibiscus tacos. It's fresh ingredients and you can tell they make an effort in preparing, so I would still give it a higher rating. My husband had the veggie burrito bowl. He said it was filling, but did not have a variety of veggies. I suspect that meat bowls are really good. It could have also been that we ordered towards the end of the night. He said next time, he would get the hibiscus from Folklore. Chips and guac were a good side to share. Freshly made and tasty. Also I liked how they were packed in a red and white plaid food boat

    I am quite disappointed with my UberEats order. Here's what…read moreI ordered: Short rib tacos - weird that it had a sweet bbq sauce to it...not what I was expecting and no where does the description include it. It wasn't too bad but the fact that a piece of bone was in my tacos made it all the worse (pic included). From 3-stars to 2-stars. Avoid. Al pastor burrito - I just don't know why it tasted so dry. I tried rotating it so each bite would incorporate all the different components of the burrito but overall, just disappointing. Maybe not enough guac/pico? 3 stars Additionally, I asked for extra salsa but was only given the standard one small cup included with the tacos. Extra salsa would've helped on the burrito so not getting extra salsa was a bummer. Still looking for great Mexican food in the area...have yet to find it and this place most surely wasn't it. Without the snafus, I would rate this place 3 stars. But the bone fragment in my tacos + not providing extra salsa as requested...gotta drop it another star.

    Authentic tasting food but customer service and dirty tables leaves a lot to desire. I'm familiar…read morewith the saying that places with the worst customer service have the best food, but when you're new and have questions about menu items and/or want to see the drinks you're curious about in the refrigerator, a nice attitude will go a long way. This restaurant has tables and chairs, but they don't know whether they want to be a dine in or takeout restaurant with the chairs on top of the tables. We noticed 2 men eating there, so we decided to as well. It was a good thing we took paper towels and hand sanitizer to clean the table, because the amount of dirt discovered was beyond disgusting. When shown to one of the workers, she shrugged and said "that's why people don't sit down and eat." Wow. Fortunately, the steak and shrimp taco bowls lived up to expectations, and the portion size was enough for 2 meals. I will only recommend this place if you order ahead so you have little staff interaction.

    I went here for a quick bite because I was craving a salad bowl. I ordered the shrimp taco salad…read morewith yellow rice and a bottle of water with the mango carrot juice. The customer service was not the best. The lady that was at the cash register seemed a little irritated answering the questions that we had about the food options and the drink options since it was our first time there. The ambience of the restaurant kind of like a to go feel restaurant, but there are tables to the left that have chairs on them. Before going, I checked the reviews for the restaurant and saw that some people chose to dine in. Then when we were ordering, we noticed that 2 man sat to eat so we thought we would sit to eat as well. When we used some paper towels and hand sanitizer to wipe down the table top and chairs it was extremely dirty and we showed the staff member and she shrugged her shoulders and explained "that's why we don't have people sit down". The food was tastey, Customer Service not the best, so I would probably order to go if you are looking for a bigger portion chipotle meal
