Top 5 Tacos in New Jersey

429 Beach Ave, Cape May, NJ 08204, United States

“Super yum and fun place. Eclectic tastes and fresh food. We had the Mahi tacos, crispy fish tacos, taco sampler (with xarne asada, al pastor, cru chy fish taco), tuna appetizer, guacamole with elote, Koren BBQ tacos... and everything was just amazing. We sat downstairs inside and it was not very air conditioned, but the vibe was still great. Deducted one star for atmosphere because we were sweating while we ate, but that won't stop us from eating there again! EDIT:: the Crab and Corn Chowder is INCREDIBLE, as is Kate, our server!! She is amazing! The chowder was sweet, full of crab, and super yummy!”

213 Sip Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07306, United States

“Absolutely delicious! Large portions, great service, and phenomenal prices. We got an order of nachos, tacos and fajitas for $34 and had leftovers. Notes: BYO - They’ll put your extra cervezas in their fridge if you ask! Cash only! They have an ATM on site.”

828 9th Ave 4th floor, New York, NY 10019, United States

“$5 Margarita who can beat that right....? they would have gotten a clean 5 star but when we initially got there they told us immediately that we only have an hr to eat and leave because they had a large party coming in. We booked another reservation then a guy came over to tell us we cant make another reservation. He can only give us another 30 min then we would have to leave. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT!!!!”

382 2nd St, Jersey City, NJ 07302, United States

“This establishment is undeniably a hidden treasure! The ambiance and adornments are nothing short of splendid. The personnel exhibited remarkable warmth and a readiness to extend their assistance. This was my first time dining here and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first taste, it became abundantly clear that this locale has swiftly claimed a spot among my favored dining destinations.”

200 Tuckerton Rd, Medford, NJ 08055, United States

“First time there, went on a recommendation. Good vibe, seated immediately, though it was slow on a weeknight, we could see it gets crowded. Service was prompt & amiable, food was excellent if not exceptional, as it was all cooked and presented very well. We had the tuna tostadas to start then red snapper and the shrimp. Very pleasing, well done, both entrees and appetizer. Flan was perfect, too. We'll return with others in tow, for sure. Only downside was very scarce dairy-free options.”

601 Ocean Ave, Ocean City, NJ 08226, United States

“Probably the best food in Ocean City. No pretense, no paying for location, just fantastic food. The Baja fish tacos are incredible, so are the nachos.”

3 W Main St, Freehold, NJ 07728, United States

“The entrance off 3 W Main Street is so welcoming and inviting drawing you in. Once inside the vibrant colors, amazing art and lighting really set a vibe. The authenticity of the cultural aesthetic gave me a new sense of awareness of the vibrancy of Freehold Borough. It was so clean, the tables shined and the floors impeccable. A very nice family atmosphere and the service was excellent, our order was ready in less time than anticipated, I was almost disappointed because I was enjoying the atmosphere so much. The food is outstanding, my youngest of 17 has a very particular pallet, he absolutely loves the TMR. I have digestive issues and need to stick to basic entrees, so I have to yet experiment with the menu. When my kid is happy, I'm happy. It is nice to have such great cuisine so close by.”

21 Central Ave, Flemington, NJ 08822, United States

“Great Mexican food. Very flavorful and service was great. Had 3 different tacos and all 3 were great. A must visit while you are in Flemington.”

305 NJ-17 Unit 10, Paramus, NJ 07652, United States

“Modern, clean space to enjoy some tacos. Little pricey for tacos but the quality & taste are solid. We enjoyed the aguas frescas as well. When our buzzer went off, there wasn't anyone at the window to explain which tacos are which in our order - would have appreciated that bit of customer service as we had to guess.”

57, 5913, Harrison Ave, West Orange, NJ 07052, United States

“Love this place. Amazing food. Favorite thing on the menu is the short ribs, get them you won’t be disappointed. And that green salsa, so good…needs to be bottled and sold. Favorite Mexican food in North Jerz.”

24 Wilson Ave, Manalapan Township, NJ 07726, United States

“My wife and I finally found a great place to get tamales made correctly. The staff is courteous and friendly. It may be 65 miles away from home but it is worth the drive. My steak was delicious and so was her fried grouper. Rice and beans were delicious also.”

279 Central Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307, United States

“Great pupusas and the tacos!! Fresh and good quality! Empanadas were good too. The hibiscus tea was just slightly sweet and that was perfect.”

355 N County Line Rd, Jackson Township, NJ 08527, United States

“First visit to this chain while on a day trip and I loved that shrimp is an option. Not familiar with the various options and didn’t know I had to pay almost $3 for a little guacamole until it was too late, would have liked to be told when I was picking toppings. The shrimp took a little while to be ready but it was fresh and tasted good so that was fine and the chips and salsa were good, very salty chips. The portions are pretty big and we took some of the food with us when we left. My cousin ordered the love chips which are a nice dessert option. Would return if I had this option in my area.”

2281 US-130, South Brunswick Township, NJ 08810, United States

“It's cold out, but the visit was worth it. The staff patiently waited for us to order, and it was ready in 5 minutes. We took home pulled pork, carnitas, and fried plantains. Delicious! I need to remember to ask for sauce on the side. We need a lot of napkins when you eat this.”

279 Broadway, Long Branch, NJ 07740, United States

“Super cute authentic Mexican food. Eat inside or out. Great food!”

172 Lackawanna Dr, Stanhope, NJ 07874, United States

“Beautiful view of Lake Lackawanna (in Stanhope, NJ) from their outdoor deck. The burger I had was very tasty but not extraordinary. Their were other dishes that looked more interesting that other people ordered. The staff are very friendly and make dining enjoyable. They also have entertainment on certain evening.”

“Service was good but the food was meh. Birria - this was the best! Very good. This I would go back for! …”

35 Perry St, Chester, NJ 07930, United States

“I had my very first taco ever here and it was delicious. Home-like atmosphere, friendly server and the food was amazing. Since visiting, I taught myself how to make the real street tacos at home. Even made some carnitas. Thank you for opening my eyes and taste buds to your delicious Mexican dishes! Will definitely visit again!”

244 Closter Dock Rd, Closter, NJ 07624, United States

“Tacos were delicious. Haven't had birria tacos like this since last time I was in Cali! Guacamole and freshly made chips excellent. A homemade salsa bar was an added bonus.”

464 21st Ave, Paterson, NJ 07513, United States

“This place does not look like much from the outside but their food is bursting with flavor. I love their green chile chicken tamales. Their huaraches taste amazing too. I think I am becoming a regular.”
