    Solid choice, though not great. I've had Tacos al Pastor as well as the Carnitas, and although they are served authentic, I wish they were more flavorful. The ambiance is loud. Obnoxiously loud. Also, I heard two different smoke detectors that needed batteries replaced. *BEEP!*

    I came in to order tacos. The two women were so rude to me! They made me feel very uncomfortable for being in their establishment! The starring and whispering of was so unprofessional. I was the only black woman in the restaurant. They are racist! I will know longer support this business.

    Overall it was a good experience, the service was friendly, the portions were so huge that none of us finished our meals and the food was generally tasty. The guacamole in particular was good. The only caution I'd note is that the tortillas had the consistency of corn tortillas instead of the flour ones that we are used to.

    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. 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.

    I used to go often and now lately the food quality went down drastically. The waitress with glasses was extremely rude to my mom and to top it off we food hair in our food. Definitely wouldn't recommend because even after telling them they just laugh in your face and walk away.

    The carnitas tacos are amazing. Service was great and accommodating with us bringing our own drinks.

    This is my favorite place to get tacos in the area (including New York!), I have been coming here for over 5 years consistently, and I am never disappointed. I have tried many other Mexican restaurants, and the tacos al pastor in Vera Cruz are the best I’ve had anywhere! The meat is so good and there are pieces of pineapple in it (not just the soda, which a lot of restaurants do). Every item on the menu is delicious too, but tacos are my go to. I will keep coming back here!

    Hidden gem off the corner of bergenline! Amazing comfort food that will keep you coming back for more every time! A lot of people will go to tio taco for food but they take too long, customer service, and their food doesn't justify all that, while these guys are only a block away and the ladies are phenomenal and kind

    There are plenty of Mexican food places in the area, but this place is definitely my go to. I've had the steak, al pastor and chorizo tacos.....all are stuffed with meat and good. The burritos and quesadillas are also very good. No matter what I've ordered, I have gotten the spicy guacamole with it.....can't miss out on that.

    The best Mexican restaurant in New Jersey, the atmosphere feels like you are at home, the service is excellent, and not to mention the seasoning and flavor of the food, my favorite are the huaraches. you have to try it!
