I was looking for a good taco spot in the area. I was craving tacos and knew I could find a nearby place after reading some reviews. I came across this spot. I'm so glad I stopped in. I ordered 2 chicken tacos. And they were absolutely delicious. They have plenty of indoor seating. They have drinks and other food available, too. This is a very casual spot, but if you're looking for flavorful tacos, look no further! read more

Small, casual taco spot in Westwood with a few indoor tables. The space is simple but has some character, including colorful piñatas inside that are also for sale, which was a nice touch. Staff was friendly overall, though there was a bit of a language barrier at times. Service was still welcoming. Parking is metered street parking and can be a bit limited during busy times since they do monitor the meters closely. Important note for anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: this is not a safe kitchen for strict gluten-free needs. Everything is cooked on a shared grill, including flour and corn tortillas, and there is cross-contact through shared frying oil used across items containing wheat. Because of this cross-contact, I got sick after eating here and won't be returning. For those without dietary restrictions, it may still be a solid casual taco spot, but it's not suitable for gluten-free diners. read more

I saw a Facebook ad promoting "8 Free Wings" with any purchase of an entree + drink and I was sold. Arrived a little after 1PM on a Friday, and I was the only one in the restaurant. The place is very clean and decorated nicely. Food: I ordered two items: I got the Al Pastor Guarache and the 8 piece Buffalo Wings. First off: reading other Yelp reviews, was I supposed to be served free chips + salsa while I was waiting for my food? That never happened. Minus point for that. In any case, here's the low-down on my order: a Guarache is "masa dough with smashed pinto beans, cotija cheese, and green sauce". I was suprised I coudn't find any photos of it here on Yelp, so I guess I'm the first. To be honest, it was very good! I have nothing to compare it to, but I do like that along with the al pastor pork, they added quite a bit of the pineapple to the top of the "guarache" which translates to "sandal" in Mexican. It's a similar shape. On to the wings: honestly, for a Mexican spot ---- they were spot-on wit the wings! They were fresh, crisp, and a tangy buffalo sauce. 8 pieces for free is quite a promotion. I'm surprised the place wasn't bustling, but then again it was a weekday. Hopefully on the weekends they get good business. Big props to Guadalupe for being helpful and for the service she provided! I was a bit hesitant to come here because I saw some "mixed reviews", but maybe because I was the only one --- things couldn't have gone better? Who knows! What I do know is that I have a birthday coupon to use --- and I'm coming back...pronto! read more

Let's taco 'bout it... Tacos CDMX is a Mexican taqueria in downtown Westwood. It's located on a busy main street with plenty of metered street parking and lots around the area. The interior is festive, vibrant, and colorful with hanging pinatas and luchador masks. There's a seating area with tables for small and large groups as well as stools at the open kitchen counter. It's a casual spot to have a quick meal, but it's not ideal for a date or celebration. The menu has all of your classic Mexican street food favorites like tacos (duh!), burritos, quesadillas, tortas, sopes, flautas, tostadas, nachos, etc. I ordered the Taco Tuesday deal (4 tacos for $10) and a small horchata ($3). You can only choose two kinds of meat for the tacos. Not a bad price for a lunch meal! Service was friendly and welcoming. My food was ready in 10-12 minutes. I decided to dine in and I was given complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were crunchy and salty, but weren't served hot. The salsa was watery - they both tasted like they were bought from the store and not made fresh. The horchata was a disappointment. It was very watered down. It lacked that smooth, milky texture. The rice and cinnamon flavors were diluted. On to the tacos... Each one comes with a soft corn tortilla, onions, cilantro, radish, cucumber, and lime. I ordered (2) al pastor and (2) carne asada. I'll start with the good. They gave me a generous portion of meat for all four tacos. When I say generous, I mean in the "meat is spilling off of the tortilla" kind of generous. The tortillas were warm, chewy, and tasted freshly made. Now for the bad. The meat was on the dry side. Nothing was tender, juicy, or flavorful. Carne asada and al pastor are known for their bold, savory, smoky, tangy, sweet, and complex flavor profiles. It all tasted bland. They had bottles of green and orange salsa sauces. The salsa verde was clumpy and watery, but I had no choice but to dump a bunch of it onto the meat because I needed some kind of flavor... some kind of spice... anything. Definitely not a memorable or authentic taqueria experience. I'm hesitant to return since there's so many other delicious taco spots in the area. Maybe this was an off day in the kitchen or maybe it wasn't. read more

If it wasnt for the woman at the counter with the attitude I may have given 3 stars but the food was ok. It was as if it took a lot for her to greet me and say hi. I ordered the 4 tacos for $15... there were about 4-5 choices and as I was making my selection she cut me off and said only 2 choices! I should've walked out at that. There were people eating at two tables and it was pretty much dead on a Saturday around 3pm. So I ordered 2 chicken and 2 al pastor. It needed seasoning especially the chicken and they were both kinda dry. The 2 sauces were watery but it helped a little to get some flavor. It was made to order. I'll never come back here again; her lack of courtesy and rudeness to a new customer is a big letdown. She might've been nice to the others eating there but this says a lot for a business. When you have a person manning the front counter and taking orders, they need to be nice. Just nice, I'm not saying bending over backwards to accommodate customers . Just a little courtesy goes a long way. It's located on a street where there are better options. Maybe my tacos would've tasted better if her behavior didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. Don't waste your time coming here, unless you want to be welcomed with a bad attitude read more

Waited 30 minutes for my order and specifically said no onion and no cilantro due to an allergy. Come home and its covered. Sad part is the tacos look good but you have to pay attention to the customer needs to keep them. There goes a meal- money and time wasted. read more

We stumbled upon Tacos CDMX by accident and gave it a try because of the great reviews. The interior had colorful decor, including piñatas and luchador masks. They had an indoor seating area, and the ambiance was very casual. I placed a takeout order for my whole family which included Tinga Tacos, Chicken Tacos, Pastor Tacos, Guacamole, Quesadilla, Tinga Empanada, and Horchata. Service was lukewarm but efficient, and the food only took about 20 minutes to come out. I may be biased after living in California for the last 3 years, but the food was just good, not great. The Chicken Tacos were a little bland, and we all enjoyed the Tinga Tacos a lot more. Both the Quesadilla and Tinga Empanada were very standard. I also didn't love the Horchata, which mostly tasted like milk without the cinnamon flavor. My favorite item was the Guacamole, which tasted super fresh and had the perfect consistency. Portion sizes were generous and pricing was reasonable! read more

Grabbed two tacos after work one day - one steak and one shrimp. Love how you can buy one and mix and match. I thought both was great and portions of steak was good and tender. I made modifications to my order in the app - no onions and add guacamole and it was made to my liking. Doubled tortillas too. With a 20% tip it was $10... good price for a lunch or lite dinner. Wish they had curbside pickup but I was able to park. read more

Tacos CDMX - steak and shrimp taco... looks messy from the travel but was delicious - Tacos Near Me - Westwood, New Jersey

This is the real deal for amazing tacos!  We sampled a variety of their tacos and liked them all!  Each taco is made fresh when ordered so plan on a few minutes extra wait time.  We were impressed with the amount of meat in each taco, as they were loaded!  The sauces/salsas that accompanied were equally as tasty.  The prices were very reasonable for the quality of tacos/food (4 for $12).  We will definitely be back to try other menu items. read more

I found this place because of yelp. It's nice inside, really big and plenty of space for my kids to run around without annoying everyone. The guy at the counter was super nice and helpful when taking our order. The food came quick and was presented really nicely. The food. The food. The food. It was crazy. I ate myself sick knowing full well the whole time I was doing it. I couldn't stop. The chips are clearly made in house and were super fresh. So good we ordered nachos just to have more. We got chicken fingers and a chicken quesadilla for our kids - both awesome - and then a carnitas burrito which we ordered without rice (they gave us lettuce and tomatoes instead). It was such an excellent burrito I could have eaten a second one. I will be back for tacos but also learned they have a food truck in the summer so hopefully there will be an occasion for the tacos to come to me! P.S. The hot sauce was a highlight - don't miss it. read more

These were firmly the best al pastor tacos I've had since living in LA; their taco game is absolutely on point. Burritos are tasty, the horchata was a bit off, and the chilaquiles were "good", but again to emphasize the tacos were so excellent I need to give this place 5 stars because that's so hard to find in NJ read more

Great family‑friendly Mexican taqueria on Broadway with a bright, colorful interior and fun touches like piñatas hanging from the ceiling. Service is generally described as friendly and fairly quick, especially for dine‑in and takeout read more

We tried this place based on recommendations from friends in town. Luckily, we found parking right across the street on the corner. It is a nice place with one section for takeout and the other half with seating. I liked how they use piñatas and luchadores masks for decor. The staff was welcoming and friendly. As for the food, I thought it was delicious, came in good-sized portions, and was affordable. We ordered the carnitas burrito bowl, suadero burrito bowl, and suadero burrito. Everything was freshly made. They also served some homemade tortilla chips with salsa. Also, they don't have tap water but rather bottled water. Definitely another Mexican restaurant that I'd recommend to family and friends, and would visit again! read more

I have been here several times now and despite having encountered different workers every time it's been a pleasant experience each time. Service is stellar. Now on to the food: You ever get takeout lately and been left just....meh? You spend money for ___insert reasons here____ but at the end of your experience it left you wanting more? NOT HERE. Well, not in that lackluster way. Tacos CDMX leaves you wanting to try EVERYTHING. It's THAT GOOD. I've been here on several Tuesdays for taco specials and was able to try all the flavors so hear me when I say, SUADERO FTW!! I'm all for Birria but I'm telling youuuuuuuu SUADERO! If you don't know and you're just intimidated by the name, it's fatty beef which translates to...absolutely delicious. I would come here for lunch and the order to go for dinner. The prices are incredibly reasonable especially given that it's in Westwood. Everything is packed with flavor. Oh, the rice? I can't even believe I have to say this coz who messes up rice but I was recently at a Panda Express (I know, that was my fault) but their rice was uncooked. Like it was coated in oil and it had the promise of maybe being cooked only it wasn't. So yeah you can pay for food and rice can get messed up but at Tacos CDMX it's perfectly cooked every time. The texture is just fluffy and flavorful. I know I'm going HAM on rice but I'm telling you. Buy it on the side, take it home and eat it with whatever you want or by itself. It's that good. I used to buy the suadero tacos and side of rice thinking I didn't want everything that was on the burrito bowl. Well, turns out I was lying to myself. Their beans are amazing and so is the guac and that crema on top of the meat is perfect. I love that you can bring your small kids and they can sing like birds and no one cares. No pressure, everyone! Let's talk ambiance. It's clean, decor for the holiday was so pretty and I love the window art. Piñatas hanging from the ceiling just felt authentic and multi purpose which I love. Idk y'all, stop reading this and order before they close! To Tacos CDMX, never change. read more

Very solid choice!! Grabbed the four Pastor Tacos. Tasty, flavorful and delicious. Missus wanted more vegetarian options but chose a cheese quesidilla. Guacamole with chips was good, nothing spectacular. I really liked my tacos but she was nonplussed. Adding more veg options would be a good idea but I'll be back for sure. Taco Tuesdays is a thing ($3 off and $12 for four meat tacos). It's close to a Trader Joe's so convenient to get shopping and top it off with a good meal. Seating inside is OK but not great, takeout better option. read more

Comida chingona Highly recommend, best tacos in metro area. Recommend the cheesy quesadillas and tacos. If you don't want something in them, be specific because you would be defeating the essence of the food. read more

Totally authentic Mexican food! The tacos were delicious, especially Bria and Tripe. The burritos were meh and the take out salsa awful. Tasted like tomato sauce with onions! But the tacos are worth another trip! read more

Finally, real authentic Mexico City tacos, burritos, tortas, huaraches and more in Westwood! Tacos CDMX provides a good variety of the taqueria standards like pastor, carnitas, lengua, suadero (!), tinga, chorizo, longaniza, tripa and - for the gringos - pollo, ground beef, shrimp and steak. Appetizers include standards like guacamole and nachos, plus salchipapas, papas a la francesa (french fries Mexico City style with ketchup, mayo and cotija cheese), empanadas and more. Menudo on Friday and Saturday along with esquites, fresas (strawberries) con crema and manzanas (apple) con crema! Nice menu! We sat a table inside and were served by a waitress. A basket of chips with salsa fresca was promptly brought to the table along with additional squeeze bottles of green and red salsa, all of which were fresh and tasty. I ordered the pastor tacos (4 per order for $15), which were served "street style" on two medium-size tortillas packed with meat, cilantro and onion with radish, cucumber, lime and grilled spring onion on the side. Muy delicioso! My daughter had a torta with tripa (tripe) which she said was excellent, and my wife had tinga (shredded chicken in red sauce) tacos plus elote. Both also had the horchata, which had a hint of pineapple flavor that they enjoyed. Service was prompt and friendly. The overall bill was quite reasonable for a tasty filling meal. Love what they've done with the space - the white tile with bright crimson details and humorous sayings in Spanish painted on the walls give the place a bright, welcoming feel that's very much like taking a trip to sunny Mexico City deep in the heart of Northern Joisy. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Now if only I can talk them into doing birria on weekends (de chivo por favor!). We will be regulars for sure! read more

Incredibly fresh and authentic in my opinion. Feels like the taco spots I grew up with in Arizona. The chips are amazing the rice and beans are amazing. My fiancé loves the burritos I always get tacos. Definitely a once a week spot for us now. AND THEY HAVE APPLE SODA which is so rare to find read more

Bad management. Empty at weekday lunch and they flat out refused to allow me to order 4 different types of tacos. Many other local options for authentic tacos in the vicinity. read more

I've eaten at Tacos CDMX many times now and have had a good experience. I don't eat meat so my experience has solely been with their shrimp offerings, shrimp tacos and the shrimp torta. The shrimp are well seasoned, large and delicious. The Torta is really the go to meal, the bread is perfect and the quantity of shrimp and other toppings is spot on. For me, this is the perfect take out location in town, that now features two taco shops. read more

Did not like this place at all. The food was very greasy and over seasoned. I got the steak tacos and the oil was dripping out of the taco. Yuck. The prices are crazy for the food quality. We were very very disappointed. read more

Stopped her to get tacos to go while working nearby. This is a no frills no nonsense Tacaquiri with really great and authentic tacos at a good price. While I am not positive it appeared that they were make their tortillas by hand and everything else was definately made on the spot. The tacos were great, a set of four left me very happy, and their salsas were excellent. Service was quick and friendly. I will be back next time I am in the area. read more

It is bright, clean and has a good number of tables for eating in. Plenty of metered parking nearby. Now on to the food....... Wow, the tacos were amazing. We had the chicken and carnitas. They both were flavor packed even before the salsa. Served super hot, no spicy but temperature which I really enjoyed. We also had the guacamole and chips. The chips were very nice, crispy and crunchy. The guacamole was fresh but a bit more sour than what I am used to. I think it is freshly made and of course fresh lemon or lime making it a bit more sour. The salsa with the chips were different from many others, not chunky, in fact it was just sauce. It was tasty but no dice tomatoes or onions. We also ordered their hot wings which was good but nothing too different from others but still worth the purchase. I know, we kept ordering and got the chicken empanada and it was way different from what I had before. Instead of premade with the ingredients already wrapped and then fried, their version I really liked. They fried the dough and then opened like a sandwich stuffed with the ingredients. This I think is unique, granted my Mexican food eating has been limited. Service was friendly and fast. You can see them make your meal in an open kitchen. Of course they carry Mexican sodas which we enjoy. We will be back especially since they stay open late. You can't miss eating here, enjoy. read more

RUN, DO NOT WALK to Tacos CDMX. Having grown up in Southern California I'm always on the look for great Tacos and Mexican food. I just got done devouring 4 Pastor Tacos fresh off the Trombo. Absolutely sensational. They make their own chips and their own salsas. The Guac is made fresh and is full of flavor. They have everything, Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, Tortas, and on the weekends they even do some Mexican specials. This place just opened and I hope it stays for a long long time! read more

Excellent tacos, very good guacamole. Pleasant wait staff. If you are in Westwood, great take out spot. Can eat in also.

Food was good. The pastor tacos were really good. The chicken tinga torta is just a shredded chicken sandwich in a bread roll with lettuce, tomatoes and avocado, I was disappointed. The borrito and quesadilla were good as well. Nothing came with a side of rice or beans. Horchata was really good. Overall it was ok but I think price was high for no sides. read more
