The outside has always made me walk past, but I finally decided to try it tonight as I've gotten sick of Chipotle. Plus it's always a good feeling to support our local businesses. While I wouldn't call this spot a "hidden gem" of Hoboken by any stretch, I did thoroughly enjoy my burrito. I got a regular grilled chicken burrito and everything that came with it. Upon my first bite it was apparent that the chicken was more like hibachi chicken than grilled chicken (not a complaint but not what was advertised). If you try it you'll know exactly what I mean. No complaints about anything else. They could have made more of an effort in evenly distributing the contents of the burrito but thats just me being picky. If it means anything to whoever may be reading this...the burrito felt like it weighed 5 pounds and I found myself eating the entire thing. So why 3/5 stars? This burrito cost me $16! While the ingredients were fresh and the portion was huge, it's hard to justify one burrito at almost 20 bucks. Complain about Chipotle's portions all u want, but my bowl there only costs me like $12. I'd definitely go back again at some point, but it just didn't taste good ENOUGH to justify the price tag. Tacoria has a better burrito (imo) and is a few bucks cheaper. Still, worth a try for sure.

It was loaded with protein and sides, but they were not distributed evenly. One half had too much rice while the other portion had all the chicken. The salsa did help enhance the flavor, but it honestly wasn't my favorite burrito. #hobokenburrito #GrilledChickenBurrito #hobokennj #hoboken #franksinatrastown

We kept it simple with 2 birria orders. The Tacos de Birria de Res were mostly still crispy when they arrived and loaded with birria and cheese. The onions, cilantro, limes, and hot sauces on the side brought out so much more flavor. The Torta was actually so satisfying. It wasn't as big as expected and could've used more toppings but there was a good amount of birria inside. It was supposed to have guacamole inside according to the description but it wasn't included unfortunately. Again, the hot sauces paired so well with it. I personally didn't care for the consommé it came with; I usually love dipping or even sipping on it but this one was a bit too smoky/peppery for my taste. Decent try!

If you want cheese it's a couple cents extra but I went ahead and got it on each. The birria tacos were honestly next level. The meat was so tender it basically melted, packed with that deep, slow cooked flavor that hits right away. I seriously was considering of order another one but was already stuffed! Definitely, more suited for take out as there are only two tables inside to eat at. For the three tacos and a Coke it was $20, which is pretty affordable considering the times we are in! Staff were friendly and helpful too. I will definitely be back and will be thinking of those tacos for quite some time!

I thought the carne asada taco was tasty, but not blown away by everything else. Within two hours of eating the food, I started feeling very ill, vomiting and diarrhea. My nanny texted me in the evening that she was having the same symptoms, feeling like it was also food poisoning. We didn't eat anything else through the day, and because both myself and my nanny had gotten sick from the same establishment, I'm very sure we both got sick from the food. I tried to reach out to the manager to rectify the situation, and both the counter person and another man I spoke with were apologetic and assured me that I could receive a refund. However, the owner, Victoria Olivos, took the phone from the gentleman I was speaking with and was appalled by my situation. She was very defensive and argumentative, assuring me it was impossible I could've gotten sick from her food, though not going through her food safety measures. She indirectly accused me of lying, when I have no reason to, the circumstances after eating their food affected myself, my nanny, and my husband who had to call out of work to take care of our kids while I was recovering. My symptoms are also improving after 24 hours, which also is consistent with food poisoning. The owner refused a refund and I don't appreciate their unprofessionalism and lack of empathy.

I was in attendance of Goatchella Music Festival Day 2 held at the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery, when thankfully there were some food vendors onsite versus the night before there were none, and I immediately gravitated towards El Chilango Taqueria Food Truck. I'd seen them around the city on numerous occasions but never approached them for whatever reasons. This time, they had my undivided attention. I loved Mexican food and always craved it once I got back home after being away for awhile. Sadly, I haven't found a go-to Mexican food place during my recent times spent here in Jersey City and New York City. Would El Chilango's Taqueria on wheels soothe my soul!? PURCHASE Jarritos Pineapple Soda 12.5floz Bottle ($3.00): One of my favorite sugary sweet tropical sodas, I never went wrong with this brand and their flavors! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=P9FwuSvuw8utXf4q16pSzw 3pc Spicy Shrimp Street Tacos ($13.00): Buried beneath a blanket of shredded cabbage and a trail each of some kind of crema and guacamole sauce were surprisingly several grilled spicy plump shrimp like pieces of treasure that needed to be found.

I liked it, but it didn't blow me away, I was put off by all of the fillers, and it wasn't "dirty" enough for me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=Z1zKoKrShejarlvgP7ktug SERVICE A friendly man (whom I learned was the owner) greeted me as I approached the truck, I perused the menu and quickly placed my order, I was immediately given my drink, and about five minutes later my tacos were ready. Before I left the music festival, I ordered a burrito for dinner when I got back to my friend's place, and that was ready nearly as quickly after I ordered it. With one in the kitchen and one running the front, this duo was cookin' - muchas gracias! PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever the event was held. In this case, the event took place at the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery, where there wasn't any onsite parking. Instead, you were able to find some spots along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all nearby streets. Another option was a driving service like a bus, taxi, Lyft, or Uber. Thankfully, I walked the 20 minutes from my friend's place - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient catering/food truck with an exterior food menu banner https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=60wc2_xyc3acY6B_jIJEPg along the side were you placed/picked-up your order, no area for condiments, napkins, and utensils (they supplied these to alleviate waste) nor designated seating area except for the nearby grass or ground, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while minimal electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs nor any background music except what was playing on a nearby stage. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=dFfkadGThSINmueZCRc-9A ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was happy to have finally tried El Chilango Taqueria Food Truck and generally pleased with what I ordered. Jarritos was always a party in your mouth, the shrimp street tacos were bomb, and the burrito simply needed a more equal combination of your protein and fillers. Sadly, they didn't offer any of the "unique" meats I preferred, like cabeza, lengua, and tripa. My only fear would be their limited menu and eventually trying everything over time. The prices were a tad on the higher end, the food and portion sizes were very good, and the service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $30.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip).

You do have to find street parking which might take a while. And the restaurant is small with just 3 tables. It would be hard to come with a crowd.
