    Vegan chorizo nachos
    Jairo P.

    Take out or eat in. Foods legit here. Get the nachos, all options are delicious. If you prefer to go lean, the chicken or carne asada tacos are a great choice. The natural juices combine well with the food.

    I really wanted to like this place, especially given the generally positive reviews but sadly the food here just didn't cut it for me. Maybe it's because their tacos weren't nearly as good as the ones I normally go to in Little Ferry (Victoria's), but the flavors of the tacos we tried and the sauces were just so-so to me. Perhaps I will try something else next time but the carnitas and the beef options here were just average at best. I also really tried hard to enjoy their ginger/orange drink but that didn't sit well with me either and the flavors were way too overwhelming. The prices here however are pretty decent and the people who run this place are incredibly friendly. Perhaps I'll try something else next time that might be better than the tacos.

    3 blackened fish tacos, elote
    Janice H.

    Got the blackened fish tacos and today they were FIRE. I don't know why they were so on point today because usually they're just decent. But the fruits and veggies were fresh and plentiful; the fish chunks were big, flaky, and flavorful; and the chipotle aoli married them all beautifully together. I didn't even try the elote yet but I'm sure they'd be good anyways. I inhaled all my tacos in 8 minutes because (1) I hadn't eaten in a day and (2) they were delicious.

    Los Compadres is one of my favorite stops in NJ. We stopped by and came inside to a small space to order and had an amazing lunch here. They have a large selection on their menu and outdoor seating as well as 1 or 2 tables inside. The food is phenomenal. Service is great. My friend ordered a custom bowl that was amazing, but also a mushroom, pepper and onion quesadilla that was alright. It looks like they use goat cheese which I loveee, but was too full to try it. I ordered the coconut shrimp platter which was equally amazing and extremely filling. I would strongly encourage you to check them out, especially if you're local. I will absolutely return. Ambience: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Los Compadres: 5/5

    Ordered some horchata but it smelled delicious and wish I got food too
    Chris R.

    Was in the mood for some Horchata... and ordered some fries on the side... I felt like they used real potatoes and seasoned it with pretzel salt... it was really good and it smelled really good too. Definitely will come back to try other things

    Tacos and guacamole and chips

    Ordered 3 tacos: Al Pastor, Carnitas, Steak...(one taco eaten before taking pic). Small place with limited indoor and outdoor dining. Friendly and attentive service and tacos were delicious and fresh!

    Horchata
    April L.

    This is a great lunch spot. There's so much to choose from their menu. I'm excited to come back and try more of what they have. Chicken tinga 4/5 Cuban burrito 4/5 Horchata 5/5 I loved that tinga spice. Burrito satisfies and the horchata had the right balance of cinnamon and sugar. Street parking is easy to find. There's free parking after 6pm. They had a simple outdoor setup with decorations. Service was great too.

    3 grill fish tacos
    George C.

    First time trying out this place, I was so happy they had vegan options, the vegan ground beef was good the texture and the taste were really good and the grilled fish tacos came w decent piece of fish, the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, the service was courteous and helpful came at almost closing and they were very patient, it's small space inside but they have outdoor seating that's perfect for spring summer looking forward to coming back!

    Cuban pork bowl is always a solid choice.

    Food here is always good, as in mucho bueno good. So many options and the portions are huge.

    Ordered dinner and the portions were huge. When I came to pick up everyone was friendly and welcoming . They also gave us free bread pudding and two tres leches as dessert. Will definitely come back for the yummy food!

    I ordered their birria burrito. Oh my god, this place is a godsend for mexican food. I have been returning here and trying new things bc this place is the real deal and they have no disappointed. Burrito was masterfully constructed and the flavor was just delectable. Great ratio of ingredients, and tons of meat! Came with a side of chips and you can't miss out on their house made salsas!!!!

    Chicken bowl fresh grilled veggies SLAMMIN!

    See all

    The handmade tortillas were very delicious; so well made that they did not break in this Uber eats…read moreorder, despite the fact that the Pibil cochinita was very liquid. Three tacos, in this order is enough for a person who is going to for Lunch and who is hungry. The tortillas are medium to large. The creamy green sauce was very tasty. They came with pickled red onion on one side and enough lemons. Today, Tuesday, there was an offer of two orders for the price of one in these tacos. ($22.93 tip included) Everything was delicious and I will order again in this place. Blessings and congratulations for such excellent work.

    Cinco de Mayo on Taco Tuesday. 3.8 stars for the 10 taco…read morepack. Loved that we could mix and match various options unlike some places that restrict you to 1-2 options while this option allowed me to explore the basics between carnitas, bistec, fish and birria. My favorites in that option were the fish and birria. The pack came with rice, beans. Guac, birria sauce, green sauce and lime. The price of $29.99 for 10 makes this a very affordable food option. The birria and fish had the best flavors while the carnitas came in third with the bistec being pretty basic. To solve the blandness of the bistec, I doused it with birria sauce and it became its very own delicious taco. There's no searing indoors but only one small table outside if you must have a sit down option so order from here with the expectation that it's a "take out joint". Today, it took 30 minutes during lunch time to get the tacos completed. Maybe we can try coming back on a different day and it might be quicker. We also tried the tamarind juice - it wasnt as strong as I would have liked it but at least the option is there. I would come back for the tacos. I hope they stay consistent enough.
