The bistec and al pastor meat are quite dry. The tortilla is not very good as well, a little overcooked I think. For the gringa, the tortilla is different, feels like more store-bought. But the buche and lengua is good; it also has a lot of cheese. read more

Taquerias Veracruz - Taco de bistec Taco de al pastor Gringa de buche y lengua - Mexican Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

Food was delicious, our table tried a little of everything. Tried the tortas, tacos, nachos. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely delicious! You have to try their Sopes with one or two meats and all the fixings - the flavors are incredible! If you're in the mood for something more laid-back, their soft tacos are a perfect choice. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and I guarantee you'll love whatever you choose. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here for lunch when I was in the area. I ordered the tacos which comes with four. I got al pastor and chorizo tacos. The chorizo tacos were very good and flavorful. I really enjoyed them. I didn't really care for the al pastor tacos because they lacked flavor. They have a lot of options on the menu. I think for the amount of food you get the prices are fair. They give you chips and salsa which were pretty good. I would return if I'm in the area. read more

Update: Went back to try 3 different quesadillas. The clear winner was the chorizo one (other two were pork belly, and mushroom). Also stated my preference to have little/no onions and they accommodated no problem. Fyi, if the quesadillas or tacos are tasting on the bland side, add the table salt to the inside, as well as the salsas, moles and sour cream. Doing this makes it 1000x better. Also, I wasn't entirely sure how the corn, squash, mushroom filling works. I thought my Spanish was good, but not good enough to understand if it's one, all, or added in addition to the meats. My thinking is you can have it however you like, just have to have good enough Spanish speaking skills to request it exactly. read more

Went here for the first time from the 4 star reviews. The Tacos are pretty good and the price is cheap. 4 for $13.50. The meat lacks flavor tho. The service was nice, but there was still a language barrier about thr menu. When the bill came it was just the total, and wasn't sure what was charged. Prob won't return as the experience was confusing overall. read more

This the only restaurant I order food literally almost everyday I been having trouble finding good restaurant to eat but I found one finally I recommend this place read more

I have been ordering here since I moved to West New York and they have never failed me until today. I called for a delivery order and the lady realized that I don't speak fluent Spanish so she put me on hold, I was fine and suddenly the call ended. I called back and it's still the same lady, she put me on hold while she answers another call and again, the phone ended. Coincidence? I don't think so. So I tried for the last time, she talked for about 5 seconds and put me on hold again and this time I knew she dropped the call. THAT IS JUST PLAIN RUDE. If your employee is having a hard time speaking English, I am very willing to meet in the middle since I know basic Spanish. YOU DO NOT DROP THE CALL 3 TIMES JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING CUSTOMER. To the owners, this is going to be the downfall of your business because your food is actually good. You should be able to cater to both Spanish and English speakers. I am very very disappointed. read more

Loooooove this authentic taco joint. Want some real tacos? this is the place! When you sit down they bring you tortilla chips and dip. A green jalapeño sauce, roja spicier sauce and salsa. I usually get the broiled pork and chorizo tacos. There is pineapple bites in the broiled pork and flavors are delicious and tender. It comes with lime, slices of turnips and these green slender veggies (have no idea what they are) they don't skimp out on the meat so 4 tacos will fill you up. For drinks I always get their grapefruit jarritos! You will leave happy and fuzzy inside ;) read more

Just received our delivery from this restaurant a little while ago. Food was fresh and delicious. Great portions of authentic Mexican food. The ladies that take orders over the phone are incredibly sweet and the times I've eaten at the actual restaurant they've been just as nice. I love supporting businesses like this! The only Mexican restaurant I order from! read more

Every time I asked "do you use lard/pork in your refried beans?" they answered with "what do you want?" Clearly, there's a major language barrier. So I said, "no cerdo please" but somehow I still got refried beans in my order. I just assumed it used lard, so threw it out. Their chilaquiles was green - no option for red. The chicken torta sandwich was pretty basic. read more

My dad introduced my mother and me to this restaurant during the summer. He ordered the tacos because well, I don't think they can really speak English and since my pops is fluent in Spanish, he took care of ordering the food and shit. He got us the grilled chicken tacos and the beef tacos. Both were just so, so amazing. This isn't your typical Chipotle, Qdoba tacos, I'm talking legit, real deal, Mexican food. All that and a bottle of Coca Cola. I was in heaven. So why the four stars instead of five? Well, I'm big on the food AND the service/location and I found that the service was eh, okay. I don't know if it's because we were the only Asians in there, but everyone just kept staring at us, even the people that work there. Shrugs* Anyways, if you're ever in the area and craving some tacos, get them here. read more

I'm so glad I chose this Mexican restaurant tonight. There's a ton of Mexican restaurants in West New York and sometimes they're s hit or miss. I ordered the chicken flautas, which usually come with four flautas per order so I was happy to see that I had five flautas! I felt like I won a prize lol! Anyway... The food was great, crunchy topped with cheese and crema. The green and red sauce were both pretty hot, just different in flavors but both tasted great. read more

I go to Veracruz at least once every two weeks. I am completely biased because it is a great taco spot with so many offerings. You can order tacos al pastor, tacos de lengua (tongue), pork, chicken, everything under the sun. The main driver for me is the "GRINGA" which is a $6 grilled quesadilla PACKED to the brim with cheese and any type of meat you want. Go for the green sauce. I will say though, the tacos al pastor as of late have too much rice. It is a very latino spot as in, they barely speak english. The clientele is mostly Mexican, Salvadorian, or Guatemalans that live in the area. This Veracruz is in the heart of Latino Hudson county right off of Bergenline. If you want to come here before its fully gentrified, come to Tacos Veracruz. There are 4 taco spots in a 1 block radius and I will choose this one 10 times out of 10. Its a no frills coma inducing meal with every possible choice of jarritos, or jugo de tamarindo. On weekends you'll have a marriachi come in and sing a few songs. They do take out and delivery also. Very quick. read more

Not one person speaks English there! I called for delivery and the lady can't even understand my address!

This place is delicious! Speaking from my Mexican bias - it is the beacon of hope in the NYC area. If you're ever in West NY you have to stop by and try their cabeza, lengua and chorizo tacos! Spanish is almost a must since their English is limited - but honestly, that's a sign of their authenticity. read more

Was brought here by recommendations by a good friend who knows his authentic Mexican food. Ever since the pregnancy, I just want guac and tacos! And we have tried many places around the area of WNY and yummmm this is def on top! I got the guac- great portion & chicken tacos. Just juicy and it just tastes so fresh! Good eats! read more

Love this place! I always stop by and eat if I don't feel like cooking because my daughter loves it also. The food and service are great. And the prices are very good! read more

This place has a lot of potential. The chips and sauces you get when initially sitting down are delicious. Portions are great for the price. Food was a little bland for my taste. I found myself adding salt to the carnitas tacos (something I never do to my food) I would give this place a second chance to see if maybe they were having an off day. read more

I personally love these tacos ! El pastor , and carne are my favorite you can't go wrong. I love the chips that come with it!!

I'd come here if I were desperate for some pork stomach, beef tongue and beef cheek tacos. Prices are decent, but I've had better.

Didn't even eat, so this review has nothing to do with food. I wish that I could have ordered based on the good reviews, but because I don't speak Spanish, and ordering in English was impossible. Hard to believe that not one person in the entire restaurant speaks English well enough to take an order. read more

Al pastor, chorizo, steak tacos. That's what usually order here. One word, reallyfuckinggood. I could eat here every day but I'm tryna keep the panza small tu sabe read more

we are regulars here, and the food is divine. the atmosphere is like being in a theatre. lonely migrant men eating, huge family get togethers, merengue playing, and two soundless tv's to watch. it's a colorful place with hard working waitresses and plenty of free chips and delicious sauces, indeed. read more

Some of the best tacos you will eat outside of Mexico, I think. Featuring standard ingredients (chorizo, carne asada) but also goat meat, tongue, etc. The salsas are also phenomenal - they smell as if they just picked the chilis and crushed them moments before serving. A nice clean restaurant with GREAT Mexican food - some of the best on the area. read more

So my mom and I decided to order food from taqueria Veracruz, we've never ordered food from here but decided to give this place a try. We ordered some flautas and some tacos. A few seconds after handing out the food to the little ones, the smallest one he's 4 comes to my mom holding a sharp needle like object. I am furious and disgusted by the way they handled it when she called.The first time my mother called they ended up telling her "sorry about that, god bless you," if my little brother had actually ate that we would have been rushing him to the emergency room, your blessings weren't going to help him. Never ever going to order from here again and I'll make sure everyone I know doesn't either. read more

Ordered Guacamole with chips , sadly the chips were oily and made me get sick to my stomach. I wanted to love the food but I can't .

Food is fresh, price is good, waitresses are nice. Been here about 6 times now and haven't been disappointed. The guacamole is awesome!

Love their tacos. Especially the Al Pastor ( broiled pork) and the chicken. Amazing and unique choices of meat available. And really enjoy the 3 salsas they put out with chips. We went 2 sundays in a row, and the second time there was live music. I'm really glad I found this place with yelp! read more

This place has the best authentic mexican food in the NYC metro area. The salsa is perfect! I have lived in the area for 7 years now and I have eaten at lots of mexican places that are close by. This one is the best and it seemed to be very clean too. That's always a plus for mexican joints. It is in shady part of town but if you go during the day, you will be in good shape. No beer though... :( read more

Affordable and good mexican food from this place. Better to order in spanish but english is your only language there should be someone there to help with your order. read more

I love this place! I eat here all the time. FYI its authentic Mexican food no Tex mex. Cheap, fast, and large portions what more can you ask for. read more

The portions were HUGE and the food was awesome. Well, at least for me. My bf and i moved recently to an area away from his tacos. When we went to visit a friend in WNY, he had twinkles in his eyes. "can we move here" is what he said and I said, "one mexican is enough for me" but after stumbling across this place, and realizing how much I missed jackson heights mexican food, i might have to rethink my options. i make mexican food at home, and never comes out like this authentic place. Loved it and definately will go back... I'm not gonna lie, there are many choices there and I might have to try other places, but this place will always be #1 read more

The tacos are very good. I l Iike the carnitas and tacos al pastor best. I have ordered many times and would recommend this place.

Excellent! We had chicken and steak tacos, and guacamole - they were all great. Authentic, fresh, good portions.

Was looking for another mexican place and decided to try this place based on the reviews. Had the steak burritos, they were great. Although like someone mentioned, they are different, no rice, beans, guacamole, ect.... and there are 4. I'd like to think it's more authentic since I hear the big single burritos with everything but the kitchen sink inside is an american thing. I know spanish (im colombian) but there were some unfamiliar stuff on the menu which I also see as a good sign of authenticity. read more

It's by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. I've had several dishes from their menu like, tostadas and flautas, and I've yet to be disappointed. I love that the restaurant is decorated in traditional Mexican art; gives it a nice touch. Overall, their food is delicious and I highly recommend it. read more

I am A Mexican American born on the border of Texas and Mexico! I've been living in this area for 4 yrs and I have been disappointed by the Mexican Restaurants around the area! I had not been to a restaurant that gave me that home made Authentic Mexican Sabor until I was told about this one! So far this has been the best Mexican Food in the area Hands down! The reason why I gave a 4 star instead of the five was for the service, waitress was in a hurry. But other than that it was delicious! The Plate of Alambre was delicious! read more
