    Birria tacos
    Stephanie A.

    Decided to try Mami's Cocina for the first time tonight through Uber eats and was disappointed. My boyfriend got a burrito which he really enjoyed but I had birria tacos and they are not like any birria tacos that I have had before. Usually the tortilla is dipped in the sauce and fried making it a crunchier style taco but these were so soft and soggy and had no flavor or color of the birria sauce. The meat portion was generous but it was bland. The birria sauce that was on the side was bland as well. Don't think I would order from here again.

    FINALLY some authentic Mexican food in Linden and it did not disappoint. I was able to stop in for their soft opening. Grand opening is scheduled for Sunday June 9th. We had their chicken tacos and the chicken flautas and I had no complaints. It was delicious! Definitely looking forward to trying out other items on their menu. The staff was friendly and attentive. There are tables available if you want to sit and eat and the restaurant is bright and spacious. They will be offering delivery as well. We were there in the late evening and it seemed that they had run out of some items and had to close early which tells me they had a fantastic soft opening. Can't wait for when they are fully open for business!

    Sopes- bistec- also chorizo w/potatoes
    Herbert P.

    Found this new stop driving by. Very small and quiet space. I ordered the carnitas burrito and the sopes. The carnitas burrito lacked a bit of flavor and seasoning but it definitely was filling. Now the sopes, one of my sopes was bistec (steak) and the other two was Chorizo and potatoes. The steak tasty a little over cooked and chewy. But last was the Chorizo and potato sopes which was by far DELICIOUS ! The chorizo and potato sopes will definitely make me come back for more!

    No consistency in hours of operation. Randomly closes on Sunday's or they randomly close early. Very very disappointing.

    Second time here after almost 10 years and it didn't disappoint. Still the same Mexican vibe and…read morefun atmosphere but with an added enclosed room now that just widens the great room they have. Our waiter (very friendly brazilian guy) was top notch from start to end, always on top of the table (party of 4) to make sure we were good with drinks, that food was good and up to standards and nothing was missing, and always with a smile and a positive attitude. We had queso fundido and guac to start which was pretty addictive (we had 2 baskets of chips). After we had fajitas, chicken quesadillas and beef enchiladas. We all ate and still were able to take some home. Very flavorful and seasoned food, great portions and very price friendly. We had such a great time and will definitely be back soon for more, what a wonderful evening!

We sat at the bar, ordered way too much for two people, and enjoyed every bit of it. The empanadas, which are clearly a crowd favorite, absolutely delivered, and I loved that there were vegetarian options not just for those but across the menu more broadly. That made a big difference. Yes, it's crowded, and yes, you should think about reserving before you go, but the wait is worth it. The staff was also really helpful and kept things moving despite how packed the place was. If you're in Iselin, Jose Tejas is an easy recommendation.

    The restaurant itself is such a vibe. I love the vibrant colors of the restaurant. The food was…read morereally good and the presentation was great. Our server was very pleasant, but unfortunately didn't speak English at all so when my friend asked to pack up her food, they got rid of it instead. They gave back the charge receipt, but without the credit card and it took forever to get them back to the table. Overall, I liked it, but the end of our experience was not great. Quick update: my friend reached out to the manager because after throwing her away the offered to make her another but only sent her home with 2 ribs and the peppers without the chorizo that she didn't even touch our the veggies and plantains. We were stupid for not checking first for sure. She ate two of the three ribs so I don't even know where they got the second rib that they gave her. I'm assuming they remade them. The manager asked that she text instead because he didn't speak English and wanted to be able to use Google translate I'm bilingual so I understand the struggle, but not being able to speak to anyone including the manager in english is completely unacceptable, in my opinion. I really love this place and will always support local Businesses but after bringing in new patrons and having this experience I would not put my name on a recommendation for them again.

We waited over 30 minutes after ordering for our food. I ordered tacos al pastor, which I thought were delicious, but as you can kind of see on the red tray where the food came on, it was very greasy. Lime also didn't have any juice, and small avocado pieces that came with the nachos we also ordered were not ripe at all. They were hard and chewy :(. I also very, very much love green salsa, but by the time I was finishing up pouring it all over my last taco, I found hair. I understand these things happen + the avocado/lime may not necessarily be the restaurant's fault as maybe it isn't the right season for them, and I truly wanted to get over it, but I'd truly prefer no hair at all in my food. Not the best experience. I did end up finishing my tacos because I was starving, but my partner left more than half the nachos he ordered. I do wish the restaurant the best as the ambiance was nice and I'm sure this doesn't happen all the time, but definitely could use some work as it's little things that can make a difference. :( Thank you anyways!!!

Recently I decided to check it out again and I'm glad I did. Sometimes it's nice to see a restaurant update its interior, but in this case almost nothing has changed inside, but that's fine. The unique "bottle lights" in the ceiling, the dark wood and various tchotchke distributed throughout the restaurant really give it a whimsical feeling. The staff is super friendly, something that I remember from previous visits. During my most recent visit I was seated very quickly by the super nice hostess. My waiter came over a few minutes later and was super nice and I never felt neglected during my meal. The menu has changed dramatically since my last visit. I remember there being fish tacos that featured grilled fish (instead of battered and fried). I also used to enjoy having a vegetarian quesadilla but those are off the menu, replaced with a veggie burrito. The burrito is good but I preferred the quesadilla.
