Went here for lunch with a friend. The food was decent, but the service and billing practices were disappointing. We asked for two to-go containers, and my friend requested a third because there wasn't enough room for her side dish. At that point, the waitress told us there would be a $3 charge for the containers. We declined to pay for all three and instead offered to pay for one. The waitress and another employee insisted we should pay for all three, which made for an uncomfortable interaction. The biggest issue came when the bill arrived. My entrée was listed at $14 on the menu, but I was charged $18. When I asked to see the menu, I was asked why I wanted it. I pointed out that my meal was clearly listed at $14, but I was told the price could be increased. Charging more than the posted menu price without notifying customers beforehand is unacceptable. Between the unexpected charges and the way our concerns were handled, the overall experience was frustrating. We won't be returning. read more

This is the real deal taco's... If you want authentic tacos this is the place.. Be going since they opened 2018 always great food.. I've had a few other things in there and it's really good authentic Mexican food, from a very lovely Mexican family. read more

Mami's Cocina is our choice when it comes to Mexican dinner cravings. The food is always fresh and almost taste like homemade dishes. My personal favorite is the huarache de bistec. It used to be a thicker tortilla but glad they made it thinner. That made me eat more of the Taco de bistec. Even the salsas are always fresh. We are glad to have a local mexican restaurant nearby. I highly recommend! read more

Love there tacos very well seasoned. My kids love them! And the price can't be beat! The service was amazing love the atmosphere. Will continue ordering. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. Basura. Absolutely BASURA !!!!!!!! We order via Uber eats. First time, giving it a try. I can eat damn near anything. The meat had a funky taste. Some of the other tacos and my huaraches was completely disgusting. My dog sniffed it and passed !!!!!!!! I should have obeyed the many negative Yelp orders before I did this to myself. I rather chew on broken glass, and wash it back with used toilet water before ordering from here again. That's what I'm thinking. The good guy in me is just going to say, order from the next place. Thank you. Good luck to the owners and patrons. read more

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. read more

I've ordered here three times. The al pastor tostadas and tacos here are truly delicious and honestly, the best in the area of Rahway / Linden. Delivery here is always on time and pick up is a breeze. Their al pastor is flavorful, well seasoned, and the charred pineapple accompanies the tender pork excellently. The guacamole is also a great portion with fresh crunchy in -house chips! What's stellar here is their salsa. Get extra! The verde has subtle tang with a burst of soft heat and the rojo has deeper sharpness, built to cut through the thick richness of the pork. We found the flautas a little bit dry and wanted more salsa included. Otherwise, almost a perfect meal. Highly recommend! read more

Ok for a quick pick up, but they went from $9 for Three tacos which is insane to $11. Quite frankly taking the ride up north to Mexican Deli is all the worth for their dollar tacos... seems ridiculous for three tacos. This is a "if you have to location". read more

I've ordered from this place a few times. My kids love their birria tacos. A few times they've been salty. So today I called to order and complain that the birria and the consume were salty and spoke to the owner his suggestions was not to order from them anymore! read more

Truly one of the greatest Mexican spots ever. The tacos are to die for and the owners are super sweet.

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! read more

Solid, worth checking out. So far, can recommend the burritos, tacos, and tostadas. Bistec, carnitas, and tinga pollo are all good. Carnitas a little dry and not fried, but that is common. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid option for a weekday dinner. read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. I steady have a favorite Mexican restaurant and I LOVE their food so much that I literally look at other Mexican restaurants with a side eye because they never compare or even come close. This was my first time here and I will say that if I can't get to my normal spot and I'm in Linden, I'll def eat here again. I had lunch here today with my two girlfriends and everything we had was delicious. I was so hungry I didn't think to take pictures of our food until it was too late. My one girl had a burrito, I don't like burritos so I didn't taste it but she loved it. It was huge and she only ate half. My other friend had chicken tacos and to start they use CORN tortillas... the only tortillas that really matter in life. The chicken was well seasoned and all the adding on the tacos were fresh and perfectly complimented. I had the chicken flautas which are served w/ rice on the side and lettuce, tomato, cream, and avocado on top. They also have a spicy salsa that I drizzled on top. Let me tell you, those flautas were delicious! The staff spoke limited English but they were very nice and so enthused to have us. The place seems new but I will be telling people about it so they can support because I don't want them going anywhere! I will definitely be back. Also the prices are reasonable. My flautas were $8 and my water bottle was a dollar. read more

I ordered tacos al pastor and they were good wanted to try it again the next day and ordered alambres de bistec but it was disappointing because there was very little meat and most of it was cuerito (skin), for being above average price for the dishes i was expecting to be all meat....... read more

Tried this place today for the 1st time with My Husband and some friends after seeing them on Instagram several times. Food was good authentic Mexican food and the service was good as well. I gave them 1 star because what their BIG downfall was that when we got our bill, Everything we ordered had been up charged 2-3 dollars on the price than what was on the menu! I asked the waitress about it who pointed to a piece of paper that was printed by the register that stated that some of their prices have gone up. Again Mind you this was our 1st time there and we were seated at a table when we came in and not one time was it ever mentioned by the waitress to us! 2nd issue was that they charged us $2.00 for 2 containers to bring our food home that didn't have the proper lids to them and had to be covered by paper plates! Also the containers were 2 different sizes, one big and one small,so how do they charge the same price?!! Last but not least they charge you $5 to use your debit card to pay your bill and Again not once ever mentioned by the waitress! Too bad that they are more concerned on overcharging and deceiving their customers for every little thing than keep them coming back! We will not be back again and it's too bad cause the food was good but definitely not worth the scam! read more

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! read more

I was truly skeptical about seeing a Mexican restaurant menu. I've tried multiple Mexican and Tex Mex restaurants here since moving from Texas and was met with disappointment. Mami's was such a pleasant surprise. I ordered through a delivery service. The gorditas reminded me of home and tasted authentic. I loved the flautas and street tacos. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS read more

This place is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it. We have had the huaraches, gorditas, sopes, enchiladas potosinas, nachos, elotes, and more here. Everything has excellent quality. The restaurant is very clean and safe. The restaurant is efficient and does great take out services. I am used to eating in California and in Mexico where the quality is excellent for Mexican cuisine and this place is very good. You will like it! read more

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

Their taco platter is AMAZING!!! We had some family and friends over and we had to order more. Can't wait to try more!

Disappointed... I'm not Mexican but I'm a big foodie and love Mexican food. I ordered a burrito, tostadas and tacos al pastor and all just wasn't right. Need to add a bit more love to the dishes it looks and tasted rushed. read more

Best Mexican spot ever! Their street corn "elotes" are the best I've ever had! My special dish WEEKLY is the CHICKEN NACHOS! Highly recommend! Please remember to tip the driver! They added a $3 delivery charge because people won't tip! read more

I'm writing this review and I haven't even left yet. My husband and I have been wanting to try this new place that's just down the block from where we live. We asked the server what he recommended and ended up getting the Carne Asada and Chicken Alambre. Food came out quickly and it was DELICIOUS. We also got a total of three beverages and all of that totaled for a dinner under $35! Can't beat that. Also, my Alambre came with a side of guacamole. Straight up delicious. For dessert we had a churro ($1) another great option. We ended up taking two to go because they were so good. We will definitely be back read more

My friend ordered a tray of mixed tacos for Cinco de Mayo and it was incredibly delicious. The staff is super friendly and very attentive to our order and making us happy!! Definitely will continue ordering from them and most definitely will recommend! read more

Not vegetarian friendly. There are only a few items on the menu that they are able to substitute with beans. Service was slow despite being the only two people in the restaurant. Food was dry and not tasty. Would not recommend. read more

We went and order tacos , tostadas de tinga , sopes and cheese enchiladas, all the orders was made so tasteful and delicious, excellent choice of food for today Tuesday, we are so glad we went , place was presented clean, and attention was good. Five stars well deserved! read more

Such a great addition to Wood Avenue. Great customer service and delicious authentic Mexican food! Definitely recommend the fajitas!

I am really happy an authentic Mexican place opened in Linden. I always get their tacos and they are fresh and so delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. They also have delivery which is great! The prices are reasonable as well. Definitely recommend this place! read more

So... today I ordered tacos and gorditas through DoorDash. I only got the tacos. When I checked my order history I saw that they refunded me the gorditas but they made no attempt to notify me that the gorditas are unavailable. They just left it out, didn't give me any options to replace them. I called them and they seemed genuinely confused as to why I was upset about this. Common courtesy- CALLLL your customer to inform them that you ran out of the item and give them some options to swap it out. The ridiculous lack of care and the fact that I have to eat one of my husband's tacos and supplement with something in my fridge is why I'm giving this 1 star. If you order from here, just be aware that someone might be pretty hangry enough to write a negative review about not getting their food. read more

Great service! Nice and clean! Food was served just right and in a timely fashion and prices are affordable Definitely recommending this place to others ! read more

Giving 4 stars just b/c there is always room for improvement, but this place hasn't disappointed us yet and we eat a lot of different types of food. We have only had delivery, so I don't know what it's like inside. We get the burrito and the enchilada usually. I think we tried something else, but don't remember. Everyone has their opinion, but this is really good Food. Customer service seems to be great. No complaints there either. Give it a shot, and see what you think. read more

The food was excellent . I was there opening day . Dine and delivery available . Loved it

Great place to eat, food is always yummy and their staff is courteous and welcoming.

Wouldn't recommend. Was excited to find a Mexican restaurant in Linden, but this place was disappointing. Very clean and inviting and great customer service but the food was lacking. The steak tacos tasted more like roast beef pieces in flavor and texture and was very greasy. read more

food was alright stop coming here because they got stingy with the sauces and then they started charging, one dollar for a half small cup of sauce. and i only ask for 3 sauce in total. i guess they trying to maximize profit at customer expense. to bad i'll take my business somewhere else. read more

The food is so good. I ordered nachos and they were literally BOMB. The service there was amazing. The lady was so kind. Please go and try for yourself!!! read more
