We recently came in here for lunch and we were expecting for a more authentic experience, but it left us disappointed. We often eat authentic Mexican food so we found the flavors light, the steak wasn't tender, and the birria lacked some of the note and spices we were expecting. The service consists of ordering at the counter, but we did take out so that was necessary. There were a few tables inside. Minimal decor, simple set up. Entering smelled more like cleaning supplies and less like the strong aromatic scents you'd find in a Mexican kitchen. The business looks family ran, and we think that's awesome! read more

It's a little spot with plenty of seating inside. Highly recommend you stop in!! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

We were looking for new Mexican spots around town and came across this hidden gem! Has limited seating and is probably best suited for a pickup order or to eat outside on the tables when the weather is nice (which is what we did). Generous portion of avocado and guac which is key (yes, believe you still have to pay extra for guac). I got the cheese enchiladas and would come back again for it! Only dinging one star for the lack of seating and limited parking, but doesn't impact the quality of the food. read more

Service and food were delicious, we ordered a few different tacos and all were good - but Al pastor was far the best!

HIDDEN GEM! Stopped in while in the area and I am so happy we did! The food is reasonably priced. Kitchen is open so you can see your food being made. The service is fast and food is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! We didn't even get photos of our food because we devoured it. I ordered the chicken birria tacos and we had flautas to start. Birria is made from beef so it is unusually to find birria tacos with chicken instead of beef which was a pleasant surprise. The sauce still is beef though so keep that in mind. Best flautas I have ever had. Flavorful and not greasy. I still dream about this place that's how good it is. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

I cannot speak to other people's experiences but this is one of my favorite taco/mexican food spots in NJ. If you read my other reviews you will see that they all have 5 stars as of this writing. That is because I do not review places that are not good. It's not a food snob thing, it's just that some places could be having a bad day or struggling with staff or any other million reasons and I would prefer not to trash a place that is trying. I'd prefer not to say anything at all. Are there things lacking here, yes. The atmosphere is hole in the wall (but clean). This coming from an ex pat of NY who would kill for good hole in the wall joints. There are only a few tables and some outside seating. Is the food completely authentic Mexican cuisine, no. But yesterday was our third time here and we will be going back to try something different. Just for context, this place is over an hour drive from our home. Between my wife and I, we have shared several different tacos including the birria, enchiladas, and burritos as well as the horchata. They even have Chilaquiles! I found everything flavorful and plentiful. Each time we were greeted with big smiles and a staff that couldn't help us enough. We have eaten in every time and although the atmosphere lacks decoration, I feel as if I'm eating at a local place that the locals want to keep a secret. I think that they should rebrand their name to Taco.....STOP!!!! And you should. read more

I live less than 10 minutes from this spot and drive by it daily. I finally decided to stop by here one night and grab some tacos. The first thing I noticed is that the prices are very reasonable. Only $3 a taco. That's a steal for 2024. I ordered 3 different ones to try. One steak, one chicken, and one pork. All three of these tacos were amazing. They were just super flavorful amd delicious. The meats were tender and juicy. I loved these tacos. I can't wait to come back here to have some more! read more

Was on my way to meet a friend while he was fishing in the nearby area. Found this place thru Yelp, checked out the reviews and pics and gave it a try. Ended up ordering three tacos, carne asada, Al pastor and chorizo ($3 each). They were all delicious! If I'm in the area again, I'm def stopping by. And if your in the mood for great tacos with fair prices, I highly recommend this place. * parking lot * good service * dine in/take out read more

Despite the uber simple and unassuming name, this is Taco joint is certainly one to keep in mind when looking for some good, and fast food. I had extremely low expectations when I chose this spot, as all the surrounding eateries were closed. But, I left beyond satisfied with my meal, and most the service in had. This is certainly one of those spots that is unassumingly great! Give it a shot, so that it sticks around for a good amount of time to come! read more

Hands down the best mexican food around. Were a bit far but it is well worth the drive! WIN!

Have ordered from them multiple times and woke up dreaming about their birria today! Super delicious and fresh food and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend for pick up but also great for a quick casual sit down mean inside or outside! read more

Fantastic birria with consommé. The birria is the texture of brisket, has that needed fattiness and the consommé is salty but in the right way. When dipping the mellow meat into consommé, you need that zing of salt. The birria has the perfect balance of cheese, diced onion and cilantro. I regret placing only one order of these. For birria you must buy three. It comes with a spicy green sauce, a mild red pepper sauce, consommé, and a couple slices of lime. I got the tres leches but it's was just ok. The birria though is WOW Located off route nine, it's easily accessible, has a small free parking lot and you can see them from the road. Inside is very cute, they have about 4-5 tables and cute Mexican decor. The lady behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. I like the atmosphere and the place was very clean. read more

Holy cow Im so glad we just found this place on the way home from the shore!! What a hidden gem . We ordered chicken burritos, birria tacos and tostados . Birria tacos come 3 to an order and definitely worth a try. The meat was juicy and full of flavor along with dipping sauce The tostadas were crunchy topped with your choice of meat along with cheese and lettuce. My daughter and nephews really enjoyed the chicken burritos. Portion sizes are good and everything was full of flavor . My daughter also love the green salsa I think she ate almost the whole bottle. Lol . I definitely recommend this place to anyone who happens to be in the area or if you are willing to take the ride. They have a few picnic tables outside and some tables inside as well. read more

3.5 stars... It's very small inside with about ten tables. They do say that you can dine in if you choose , but had to pass. Just too many folks ( masks on), standing around waiting for their food. Plus, it's currently cash only for now. Out front are four large red and green picnic tables that you can enjoy your grub. But we chose takeout for now. They didn't allow single tacos to buy. Which has always been my way of sampling the menu. Minimum of 2 per order. So we tried 2 steak/2 chicken and 3 fish tacos. Of the 3, fish was clearly the best of the group. Fish and Shrimp tacos only come in threes. And yes save room for dessert and try the Tres Leches cake. Good location right on Route 35 in a small shared parking lot. Enjoy read more

The fish tacos were delicious and authentic. The green and red sauce they serve with chips were tasty and had a good amount of heat. I recommend the chicken quesadilla on a corn tortilla and would get it again. Overall peasant service and great experience! read more

Beautiful neighborhood Gem! We had a large catering order of over 80 tacos for my sons birthday. Asked them to deliver at 3pm and they came exactly on time. Gave us extra tacos, and plenty of toppings on the side. The Birria tacos are some of the best tacos I have ever had. Chicken tacos are an A+! We found out new favorite neighborhood taco spot! Would recommend even taking a drive to come eat here as well if you don't live near by! read more

Amazing little taco spot. The birria and steak tacos are to die for. Also tried shrimp entree and couldn't believe how perfectly the shrimp were cooked even after driving home for 20 mins. Horchata delicious, staff very nice and pleasant. read more

This place is tiny not much seating if busy....this place I visited twice so far ...I ordered traditional Mexican dishes and also tacos to try. The food couldn't be any better if I closed my eyes I would think I'm in Mexico. Excellent food will not disappoint. read more

Taco Stop is the most authentic Mexican food I have had in New Jersey. And mind you, I love a good taco or burrito or quesadilla; but, other restaurants in the region cannot compare. Sure one could go and dine at a fancy location in Jersey City or Red Bank, but when there is a local joint that is packed with the same flavor? I don't look in the same direction of Moe's or Chipotle ever since discovering this location. I come here often and I can recommend a few options: the Pollo or Chorizo Burrito is a must, the Pollo or Chorizo Tacos are phenomenal, and their Vanilla Flan is a great dessert. The service is friendly and the hospitality is warm and I am willing to drive the 30 minutes for this fantastic food rather than settle for a chain Mexican place. read more

The tacos and burritos here are amazing! The birria tacos are my favorite along with the Al pastor burrito. The guacamole is also super fresh, but the chips that go with it could be a little better. Highly recommend. Call in an order and it's always ready quickly. read more

Love this place! My fav is the Al Pastor taco on a flour tortilla with cilantro & onion.. perfect light lunch that I can eat while driving. So happy this little family owned spot is in my area. P.s. the hot sauce with some sour cream ........ TiTs read more

I was going to give this place 4 stars because they won't let you mix up the tacos. As I sit here 2 hours after eating 2 al pastor and 2 chorizo tacos I can't stop thinking about them. They were soooo good. No place seems to make it here so I hope they do. I will do what I can to keep them in business. I felt like I was eating tacos in Mexico. read more

Best tacos in town, not even close. Get the birria with consommé! I also love their seafood tacos (fish or shrimp are both good). When they have it the flan is nice & thick, but it's often sold out (because it's good) read more

I came here a lot just for the Birria taco's. Not sure what happened but some new ownership took over and decided it was a good idea to keep the expensive price the same while turning the Birria taco's into laughable bite-sized "taco's." The pictures of their Birria tacos are wrong. They no longer make it that size. They are tiny and even give half that mount of consommé too. It used to be hard to finish three, now you get four mini-sized things that don't fill you up. All for $15. I brought up the change to some lady behind the counter (bad energy, probably the one who decided to change it) and she just shrugged and said it was the same amount of stuffing, which any of my friends and i can easily say was an absolute and blatant lie. They rip you off now and it isn't worth coming here for the Birria taco's anymore. All the people I brought here and I won't be coming back. It's literally the only reason why any of us came. Such a shame. read more

Food was very good! However the surprise service charge of 3.99% and then asking for a tip on top of that was not cool!!!! Mexitaco in Aberdeen just as good on most meals with no surprises to the wallet. read more
