    Margarita and rum/coke

    I have been here several times and it is always wonderful. The food is so flavorful and delicious. The carnitas tacos are my absolute favorite! The atmosphere is lively and comfortable and the service is always top notch. Margaritas are also excellent. The only drawback for me is that it is a long walk from my house and parking is tough...however it is close to the light rail.

    Everyone's experiences and expectations are always different. Was super happy we had a good one this time around! We did have to wait a bit since we had a lot of food come out but once it did, it was all delicious. We were also given chips and salsa as we waited. Decent prices and service plus the inside was very decorated. Pleasant overall!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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.

    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.

    This place never goes out of style. Must visit for the food and the ambiance. They also have special offers on cocktails and beers

    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!

    Food was pretty decent but what sends it as a four is it's CHIPS AND SALSA. SO GOOD. best chips honestly ever salsa was fireeeee

    Was specifically on the hunt for queso enchiladas verde in Jersey City. No - not the ones you get…read moreat fancy Mexican restaurants, but the one you get at the hole in the wall takeout spots that aren't always located in the most gentrified parts of town. El Rancho Taqueria fits the bill. Placed an order for takeout and trekked 10 mins (in timbs lol) to pickup the food and eat it in the comforts of home. This fit my nearly 6 year craving to the T. The melted queso and heat of the verde sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were plentiful, but not too much. Enchiladas were cooked well. Couldn't ask for more - I found my spot! For under $12, can't ask for more.

I ordered a chicken burrito bowl and steak tacos. I took the food to go but it definitely was cozy in there. Plenty of people were having dinner I saw a couple enjoying some guacamole and chips, a friend group having some churros and another table eating fajitas. My order was taken immediately and not long after it came out to go. The tacos were delicious I loved the raw onion and the orange sauce that came on the side. They were wrapped with two tortillas and the steak had a nice juicy flavor. The burrito bowl had beans, chicken, yellow rice, cheese and a salad mix. Both meals were delicious but I enjoyed the tacos a bit more. This place left me full and satisfied.

    I love everything about Taqueria except for the exceptionally long wait times on the weekends. But…read moreit's because the food, the drinks and the vibes are so incredible that you kind of don't mind the wait. I've waited every time I've come but last weekend was by far the longest. We put our names down around 7:30, grabbed a few margaritas from the bar inside and waited outside on the sidewalk for about an hour and a half. A couple tips to make your wait bearable! -If you are staying close by, grab some margaritas at the bar and hang out. -If your wait time is expected to be over an hour, I promise it won't be less than that so you might as well walk around or grab drinks elsewhere and come back. After we finally got in, we were seated in the enclosed back patio space (it's still cold out, but this is usually a lovely spot for dinner during the warmer months). Get the guac! We got a medley of a bunch of different tacos but my favorite was the fish and the lengua. Loved everything and have declared every time that I leave that those are the best tacos in the area. Worth the wait (to an extent) but just go on a weeknight if ya can!

    Taqueria Downtown is definitely a Jersey City staple. Everyone knows it, everyone has been at least…read moreonce, and the vibe is always lively. There are just a few things worth knowing before you go. First: the drinks. They are strong. Be-smart-and-stop-at-two strong. They taste great, but they sneak up on you fast. I ended up way sicker than expected, and I'm not a lightweight, so definitely pace yourself!! They will keep them coming long after you should have stopped. Second: they do not take reservations. Ever. Be prepared to wait, especially on weekends or evenings. It seems to be part of the Taqueria experience at this point, but it is still something to keep in mind. Now for my fellow vegans, here is the heads up. The complimentary chips are fine, but the salsa they bring out apparently has chicken broth in it. I had no idea the first time, since basic tomato salsa is usually the safest bet everywhere. They also use that same salsa on the tacos, so make sure you ask for it to be left off. As for vegan options, the nopalitos (cactus) tacos were pretty bland, and I really wish there were a few more solid choices without having to worry about hidden ingredients. All in all, I would not come here on my own for a meal, but I would definitely join a group if everyone wanted cheap tacos and very strong drinks. The atmosphere is fun, and it is a JC classic. It just is not the most vegan-friendly spot.

    For living in NJ for nearly my entire life, I never stepped foot inside a Tacoria. Now living in…read moreJersey City, I couldn't avoid seeing it only a couple streets away from where I live. Looking for a quick dinner, I decided to come here on a whim. Because it was raining pretty decently, I opted to eat inside. There's a small size dining area in the back, though the ordering area and hallway leading there is a bit narrow. Anyhow, for those who are new, the concept is similar to Chipotle, except that they create everything for you behind the scenes. I basically opted for the burrito bowl except with the vegan chorizo (Tacorizo). Before adding the sauces, the Tacorizo had a good amount of heat to it. I simply added the two mildest sauces and it was just enough. Bowl tasted great and it was obviously very filling. Good spot for a quick bite.

    S/o to the Yelp event for sponsoring some of my food (cuz obviously you gotta get more when you…read morecan, duh!). That being said, the habanero sweet orange sauce and the elite corn they have from the sides menu... Best things I ate there! I don't even know what that orange mayo like sauce was on that corn but it made me sad knowing I only had two cute baby corns to eat, I just wanted to keep getting kernels in my teeth for that cob. And the habanero sauce, was downright slurpable. I didn't bother drizzling when you can just take a shot of it after every bite of either taco, burrito, whatever you get. Had to separate this paragraph for the tacos I got. I got 4 tacos. A pollo pastor, a shredded chicken, regular pollo, and regular carne asada. Now pollo and carne asada, nothing too special. Standard but with the way they sauce it and present it, I can say solid taco. The pollo pastor...as someone who can't eat pork, this was a blast to eat. They use mini chunk pineapple and put a good amount of condiments to balance it all out. Chicken not dry and super flavorful. Also enjoy the single tortilla over double. Less carbs. Now that shredded chicken. While not dry, I don't know where that bite was taking me. I just wasn't feeling it and I can't pinpoint why. I don't know if it's the extra stuff on top of it, or the fact that the corn was my fave but the side sauces didn't help. I'd def come back for the other 3 but not that shredded one. That limonada was sooooo good and refreshing! I thought I'd get horchata when I had the chance but because that limonada was hitting right, didn't even bother. And the fact it's like unlimited refills if you get a drink, totally worth it! Overall, I appreciate the patience of the manager and cashier. They were really nice and helpful. The interior was sick too. Repurpose lockers for chairs. Baseball stadium chairs. Definitely tight but just right. I was struggling finding spots for Mexican food, I have a pretty high standard for it, but I'll give this a solid/perfection score lol
