Awesome mexican food

by rudd at Citysearch

I'd been told by friends about the great authentic food and super Tecate beer. Then I'd seen a few nasty reviews that focused on the poor service. My friends were right. Food and drink is spot on. Portions may seem a little small but the price is so low that you can mix and match.

As for thw service, people the place is going for a chilled out canteen vibe. The staff are young and easy going. It stresses the authentic nature of the food and no substitution policy on the menu. Just exhale and enjoy. This is the anti-Chillis.

All I can say is that I will be back and often.

• Pros: Great tacos, great prices
• Cons: none

Fish Tacos to die for...

by britishbombshell at Citysearch

I have read about terrible service at the Taqueria, but I never noticed it while there. Maybe it is because I am so preoccupied by the fantastic fish tacos. BTW, the last time I was there, my husband and I were greeted warmly by the owners, and I was with another couple with 2 children. They were very friendly to the children. The food is delicious, it is BYOB, and welcome kids, which is becoming rare in Downtown Jersey City.

LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE

by boorai at Citysearch

I agree with lucabenti's review.... too much attitude especially that MOBY guy... ordered fish taco and asked for lettuce instead of cabbage he said no i would have to buy lettuce salad for $1.50...which is so ridiculous!!! the owner/staff are curt... a change of attitude would make this place better.... food is ok a little bit salty though....

• Pros: steak taco, fish taco
• Cons: curt, not friendly, poor custome service
