👍👍 Excellent service, polite and pleasant staff, and great selection at a great price. The salsas are also delicious. I've had a lot of stuff on their menu already. I love the birria tacos.

    I was craving birra tacos and found them on google . So I went in and told them what I wanted and the lady went straight to the grill ! They make food fresh ! They don’t have them sitting there which I love . It’s a little expensive but very worth it ! They load it up with meat ! Not stingy at all ! It came to $33 for two orders of them . Came with the sauce you dip them in and some chips and a lime ! Very tasty ! Deff coming back just wish they made you feel more welcome it was my first time and they just kept starting at me lol made me feel uncomfortable but was worth it ! I recommend them :) wish the sauce was thicker very runny ☹️

    Excellent service, polite and pleasant staff, and great selection at a great price. The salsas are also delicious. I've had a lot of stuff on their menu already. I love the birria tacos. I actually live in jersey city and the birria tacos here are substantially better than some of the most popular spots in jersey city. Worth traveling for!

    Great staff & the food is excellent. They deliver outside of Kenilworth, but FYI there is an understandable $50 order minimum for that. It is definitely worth it.

    Food was okay. Empanada was priced very high for the size it was, wish they had verde sauce. But I do LOVE the new looK! The 1st time I went in to get a menu I was a little discouraged but the place looks great now & I believe it’s a family owned business, spoke with a man while checking out (I believe was the owner) that was very nice and excited to have a brand new look for the store ! Wish them the best of luck!!! Will definitely be trying some other things soon!

    Had the steak burrito and beef birria. Pretty solid. Tasteful but not overwhelming. Would definitely go again. Nice change of pace and prefer to order from family owned. Order ahead for pickup.

    I was in love at first bite…. These are HANDS DOWN, the BEST Tacos I have ever had! They truly are made with so much love which is why I think they are that good! She takes pride in her food and it shows! I could eat this 5 out of 7 days! We love this place and everyone in it! Everything here is great!

    We ordered birra tacos and the Food could use some seasoning it did not have good taste or flavor. Not worth the money. Food is over priced.

    Best Birria Tacos hands down. Queso is amazing. Also, got a taco bar from them for a party, and they did not disappoint. Check them out if you are in the area.

    After shooting at RTSP, we looked for a place to eat. Tired of the usual fast food chains, we decided to look for tacos. This place did not disappoint. We went for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The place was empty though it was clean and well-lit. A man and woman manned the counter. We went there for the birria. We ordered beef, chicken, and shrimp to share along with chicken, steak and ground beef empanadas, and some chips and guac and pico. The chips and guac were good along with the pico. I preferred the pico, but the guacamole was good nonetheless. The empanadas came out piping hot out of the deep fryer. I think this may have been the only downside. The skin of the empanadas were saturated with oil. It could have been set to drip out before serving. The empanadas were swimming in the oil it was cooked in. Aside from that, everything else was delicious. The birria was flavorful and HUGE. Coming from NYC, we expected the birria tacos to be HALF the size of one of the birria tacos they served. The beef birria was the all around favorite. We would definitely go back if we are in Union again for shooting.
