I've had the pleasure of dining at Los Cuernos twice now, once for a Wednesday evening dinner and the other for a small party held on the second floor. Lots of space for dining across two floors and upstairs has a small bar and restrooms. Staff was friendly, attentive, and had extreme patience (when bartending for the party). Both times our Food and drinks arrived quickly. The tacos (lots of options) and guacamole are great, as are the margaritas. The tamarind one is my favorite ever! On a Friday evening they had a live band where we danced until almost closing. Great crowd - everyone (of all ages) was there to dance and enjoy themselves. Definitely will return again for dancing and tamarind margs! read more

We stopped into Los Cuernos for a drink on a recent Saturday evening and were able to grab seats at the bar. The wobbly, broken-in stools were not the most comfortable, and, while the staff was nice, we received no beverage menus. I just opted for one of my favorite cocktails - a skinny, spicy margarita. I forgot to ask for no salt on the rim, but the bartender had not checked on my preference either. So, I received a hefty mouthful of salt. In addition, the drink was so strong that it was impossible to finish. My companion's standard spicy margarita was similarly too much, though he managed to get it down. I, instead, turned my attention to the delicious salsa and crispy tortilla chips. Between both of my experiences at Los Cuernos, I could vouch for the tasty food and cool atmosphere, but the drinks should be ordered with caution! read more

Their free chips and salsa are awesome! Chips are warm freshly baked and the salsa is just mouth-watering! Food is ok. Big portion with great price. A little bit too salty for me. read more

Los Cuernos is the best Mexican food in this area. To start, the chips and salsa are awesome. The chips are nice, authentic and warm.. they pair well with the guacamole (not pictured sorry). I enjoyed my meal it was nice to finally find an authentic Mexican place in the area. I feel as if many places do Mexican cuisine sub par giving you unauthentic chips and food. This place is not one of them, they provided great service and awesome atmosphere and awesome food. I will definitely be back at some point. read more

We went back with a small group after a disastrous time there about a year ago The staff, especially the bartenders are the most arrogant lazy our staff I've come across They don't allow any changes even for health issues For example I asked they leave the rice off the plate or put it on a separate plate. They said absolutely not. The owner does not allow. No separate plates no nothing- I thought he was joking and he replied yea I'm joking Idiots I swear Last time we were there, we were told amongst other people at the other end of the bar if they didn't like it, they can leave The only reason why we went back is because it was nearby. It was open and it was raining. Everything has to come, especially as they want, which I don't see how that is allowed considering people can die from health issues This place is just a joke read more

The worst place o have ever been. 1st time I went we waited for a while and then when they finally came to take our orders. They were moody and food sucked. I didn't know you could make Mexican food blah but the way accomplished!! Today I went and waited and no ever came to take our order so we walked out. Never coming again!! Don't waste your time or money. Don't fall for the LIV music!! read more

Great atmosphere! Arrived a bit early for happy hour. I got a margarita fairly priced which makes me happy !! Great spot to hang out and just chill for a quick drink or a bite at a good price ! The bartenders are also good. They also have a band sometimes and music night, which I would like to check out in the near future. GOOO !! read more

To be honest, it wasn't the best experience. I came on a Monday evening. The place was pretty empty. The food came out very quickly. The service was okay. The quality of the food was not the best though. I got a churasco type steak, which was extremely fatty and was covered up with onions. The guac was tasty but they chips were all broken up. My friend also got there a little early and they wouldn't seat him. My margarita had salt in the drink itself but I couldn't swap it out because the server never returned after dropping off the drinks with the food. read more

As a hungry vegetarian who has been coming here since the beginning of time (OK, pre-Pandemic for sure!), I can not stress what a gem of a restaurant it is. Why? Well, the reasons are: 1. Great Service: IZZIE is the BEST and she manages the best team across multiple floors like Jocelyne in the outdoor section and at the newly opened top section: Aaron and Niko the bartender who makes the best drinks! I have seen how this place has blossomed under her management. 2. Cheese enchiladas with green sauce is AWESOME. 3. Location - very close to the path 4. Brunch is the BEST - come here for buffet. read more

Solid spot right next to Newport mall and the PATH! The key here is to come when they have a happy hour- believe almost daily from 4-7PM. They have great deals on beer and margaritas! The service is prompt and the decor inside is nice (but it is pretty dark inside). I recommend sitting outside especially when the weather is nice! They give you complimentary chips and salsa, and the salsa is addicting! I believe it's owned by the same folks who run Taqueria, which explains the quality. Everything is great- the 4 star is only due to the lack of vegetarian entree options. They do have cactus tacos but I'm not a huge fan, so I usually stick to the cheese enchiladas. read more

Washington Boulevard gives strong "Central Business District" vibes and the dining options reflect that: steakhouses (Ruth's Chris), Irish pub (Dorrian's Red Hand), ramen (Menya Sandaime), and more crowd Newport, with Los Cuernos filling in with trendy Mexican cuisine. We stopped in for a late lunch on a hazy Sunday afternoon and got a seat in the bright and airy dining room. The menu covers standards like tacos, quesadillas, and the like, along with a few heartier fish and steak options. We split an order of nopalitos (cactus) tacos and an order of guacamole and chips. The tacos, topped with onion, cilantro, and cotija cheese, were sizable and well seasoned, though heavy on cilantro. The guacamole was suitably chunky, with the chips on the greasier side. Several steps up from the Chili's that moved out of the neighborhood a few years back, but not a destination read more

The meal we had here was decent - bistec encebollado, and it was big enough to share for two. But the margarita was disappointing, and it definitely didn't taste like it was made from a bar that specializes in Mexican food. The service was prompt, but we were also surprised that we got charged for asking for an extra salsa. The bar was lively on a Friday night! read more

I don't remember taking any photos of this place. This is a favorite of A's friend from high school and his fiancé. They said the margaritas were really good. So we went. They all got the regular margaritas and I got the watermelon margarita. BIg mistake. It literally taste like straight tequila, no watermelon at all. It was so bad that the guy had to switch with me. And he had a hard time drinking it too. By the end, he was tipsy. The regular margaritas are way better and palatable. I think they also got food it was just chips and guac and a quesadilla. We were still pretty full from the pizza so we didn't order a lot. But the chips and guac/salsa were really good. Service was fast and the ambience was not too busy. There's a bar area that is mainly for sports events. You can also rent out parts of the restaurant and/or bar for private events. The place is ok, but not worth it to go out to Jersey City for. read more

The food was excellent as well as the service. The draft beer tasted off, like dirty draught lines.

stopped by for lunch. Fantastic place. Great food, service and play list... I sat at the bar, Jonathan was awesome. Try the "spicy margarita" read more

The food here was good but it wasn't amazing. I think for the price - they do a great job. The drinks are great as well. The service was also wonderful. It is a very cute vibe and ambiance. They also have late night food which is great. The only problem is that it gets very loud after 9 pm since it is also a bar. read more

Food was amazing and the service was great food came out hot and delicious price was great for what we ordered

If you want a decent meal for a great price (especially in JC), definitely try this place out. The food wasn't anything spectacular but I enjoyed everything. This restaurant is really big and has a lot of seating, it's clean and the decor is nice. The music is very loud and you'll have to shout, I barely heard the waiter half the time. Speaking of which, service was excellent, everything came out quickly and there were no errors. We tried the margaritas (pineapple and watermelon). Both were good, I preferred the pineapple, it tasted more fresh (the waiter said they actually purée fresh pineapple and add it to the drink). The watermelon one tasted like a jolly rancher, which to some might be appealing. The potato flautas were really good, nice and crispy, I've had very similar flautas elsewhere (maybe it's hard to mess them up?). The beans were delicious, better than other places I've tried. And the rice was just rice, nothing special. The steak tacos were pretty good, the steak was over cooked and on the saltier side but it was still good. The sauce it came with is extremely spicy! Be careful when trying it (I dipped too much and regretted it immediately not knowing it was spicy). The quesadilla was so delicious, I ordered it with chorizo and it had a very subtle spearmint flavor, which I love and use a lot in my cooking. At this point I was quite full but we really wanted to try the skirt steak. And this dish was about $15 which is amazing because I've had gross steak that was over $50 before. And you get a tortilla, guacamole, beans, rice, an enchilada, and salsa. This is a great value for the flavor and the quality of the steak (tasted great the next day too). Highly recommend trying this because each element was delicious. For dessert, the waiter recommended the tres leches, this was such a great way to end the meal, it wasn't overly sweet like a lot of tres leches and the peaches really complimented the cake. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I stopped by here and still feel the same way I did in my initial review. Only wanted to post an update because I just swung by here and it seems they've changed their policy, they charged us $2.75 for each additional portion of chips and salsa. read more

The food is great. But the service is terrible and I probably won't ever go back. Find better waitstaff, it was kind of ridiculous.

Amazing food and service. They were able to accommodate a large party on short notice. We were seated in the space upstairs and the server took great care of our group. Also the food is delicious. Get the fresh guacamole. read more

Visiting from Virginia. This place had amazing food and quick service! Will definitely be back.

Los Cuernos is a beautiful vibrant Mexican restaurant located in the Newport section of Jersey City. The staff here are friendly humans. The service is Amazing! Professional , fun, and knowledgeable. The bathrooms spotless. The restaurant is clean. The patrons are dressed from casual to Eclectic. The food is tasty. Ask questions if you're not familiar with tapas and Mexican cuisine. Now the drinks, WOW! Shout out to the Bartender Izzy, Muy Buena!!! The wait staff Lazarus and kelvin, your service made us feel welcome as out of towners, thank you. And final tip: the price point beats NYC. Enjoy the price point for drinks and more. Parking, leave your car a few blocks away with a friend or family member and hop on the light rail. parking is not cheap. read more

Literally have no idea how this isn't rated higher. Friendly staff, cute decor, awesome food, and cheap drinks. Great spot!!!

Los Cuernos is beautiful. It is right on the waterfront and the sunset was gorgeous! The staff and management were wonderful. I was not impressed with their happy hour drinks. We ordered margaritas but their mix was really off. I expected better margaritas at a Mexican restaurant even if they weren't using a top-shelf tequila. I was quite disappointed. I ordered the enchiladas which were only okay, so I don't know about the other menu items. Our server Fabi was wonderful as were the other staff members. The restaurant is beautiful and quite festive. read more

No service. Sat and waited for waitress for over 10 minutes. The only reason I stayed that long was because the hostess provided me a large bottle of water I did not want to waste. After finally getting served the food was ok. I the had to wait for my check for about 10 minutes after my plate was removed. I finally flagged down the waitress after being ignored further. I hate not leaving a hip however yips should be earned. I won't be coming back if I ever come back to Jersey City. read more

I'm happy to be exploring Mexican food in Jersey City, and Los Cuernos is another delicious option! The staff was kind and welcoming! They were also helpful when it came to questions about the menu. If you're vegetarian or vegan, be careful as many of the salsas have chicken broth in them or other items have something related to animals. The free chips actually come with salsa that has chicken broth, which we did not know until we were asking questions about the menu. However, the menu does indicate which items are vegetarian, so you should be good with those! I found everything I ordered to be flavorful! I would have preferred the horchata to be less sweet, but it balanced well with the salty chips. The steak in the cecina was tasty, but a bit too chewy for me to enjoy to the fullest. The chips with the green salsa were delicious , but I wish I ate them faster because the bottom ones became soggy. I really enjoyed all of the salsas and I regret not ordering guacamole as I'm sure that would have been great too. Overall, Los Cuernos is a tasty place for Mexican food, though the menu can be confusing. If you have any dietary restrictions, be sure to ask first before eating/ordering. Otherwise, enjoy the food and ambiance! read more
