I am not a big taco fan but these tacos were sooo good. They put an avocado sauce on top that tastes fantastic. And they are prices are pretty average for most taco spots. I had the quesabirria tacos- delicious!! It’s so great to finally have an authentic and tasty taco spot in Garfield. And the staff was so sweet and friendly. They gave my friend and I rose for Valentine’s Day. I will definitely be back!! 🥰

Delicious! We had full orders of the birria, chicken, and al pastor tacos. We also had the birria ramen. Nothing disappointed. Portion sizes were nice and the food was flavorful and fresh. Oh we also had the aguas frescas (horchata, sandía, and cucumber like) which were refreshing and yummy as well. The service was extraordinary. We were allowed to have a taste of the drinks so that we could have an idea of what we liked. We were also brought hot sauces, which were explained to us. My fave was the green one. It had a nice kick and good flavor. They were very attentive and ready to please or fulfill our requests. I would definitely recommend and would revisit.

I just had the best tacos 🌮 😋 Ive ever had in the Usa. Handmade, made in house tortillas. Every sauce made in house. Quality ingredients. They may have beat all the tacos I've ever eaten in my many years I've spent off and on on Mexico. The agua fresco are made natural. All delicious. Horchata tasted creamy n light like coffee. The crazy fries were huge and the sauces fresh. The al pastor on it was tender and delicious. I tried every taco. The tortillas house made. All amazing. Best birtia I ever had. The nicest staff. Theres a cool open kitchen, open butcher concept. Free parking too Thank you.

Wow, wow, wow Best tacos in Jersey. We had the carne asada, carnitas, birria, carne adobada, al pastor, pulpo, surf and turf and everything was delicious. The flavors super authentic. The meat super tender, shrimp juicy, the guac sauce and the toppings so good too. They make the tortillas on the spot. The guacamole was amazing too. The salsas they have are so good too. Please have one of their fresh aguas, we tried them all - you can’t go wrong. This is our new fav mexican spot Thank you EDUARDO for making the experience do cool.

Nice and clean place. Friendly owner. Great food. I read the reviews so I went the first time for the tacos. Bought the carne asada and chicken (they let you do half and half for a full order). My wife got the birria a chicken (half and half). Owner let us try to fresh juice they make daily. Orchata was so delicious. And I had to get the pineapple and mango mixed juice as well. So good. Went the second time to try other stuff. Its consistently good. I prefer the birria and al pastor. Next up is the chicken. They dont let it dry out so the taste is flavorful. Also got the nachos fully loaded with birria meat. Super filling. My wife got the churros as a treat both times with chocolate. Its the perfect mix of crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. Check em out! In the wallington area the food is WAY BETTER than Agave and Viva Margherita thats nearby.

What a great places, interesting concept. Got their 3 individual tacos. All were tasty, my favorite was the pulpo, octopus tasted just the way I like it. They also gave a 4 different spicy sauces, those were also interesting.

My husband and I first heard about this place from King Schratz and I’m so glad we did! Yes, like others have mentioned, it is a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. The food is consistently delicious and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My husband loves their tacos and burrito, and I’m a big fan of their elotes, tacos and taco bowls. Even my 79-year-old mother, who normally isn’t a fan of Mexican food, loves theirs. That alone says a lot! Their tres leches is also incredible. I’ve sampled a lot of tres leches cakes in my life and theirs easily jumped to the top of my list. Beyond the food, the customer service is just as impressive. Two of the owners, Jay and Kike, are always so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even offer delivery, and their driver, Juan, is just as awesome! In this day and age, it’s rare to find a Mexican spot that’s both authentic and Latino-owned... and Just Tacos is exactly that. We’re more than happy to keep supporting them!

YUMMMM. Hands down new favorite Taco spot. I had an amazing experience at Just Tacos! The workers were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and super accommodating from start to finish—they really made the visit feel special. The food was an absolute 10/10. I especially loved the birria ramen, which was packed with flavor, and the tacos were nothing short of phenomenal. Even the buffalo wings were delicious and cooked perfectly. If you’re looking for great service and even better food, I highly recommend giving Just Tacos a try. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌮🔥

We visited Just Tacos with our family based on a friend’s recommendation and absolutely loved the place. All the dishes were delicious. The only mix-up was with the sauces—initially, I used the hot sauce instead of the mild one with my quesadilla, and it felt extremely spicy. Later, the owner kindly explained which sauce to use, and after that, everything tasted perfect. We really enjoyed the food, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was great, with lively Mexican music adding to the experience. Orders need to be prepaid, similar to McDonald’s, and food is served on disposable plates. Prices are slightly above average compared to other restaurants, but the quality makes it worth it. The only downside is parking—since there are many businesses in the area, finding a free parking spot can be a bit challenging.
