★★★★★ 5.0 Joseph Carroll · Feb 2026

If flavor had a passport, La Taqueria would be getting it stamped daily. 🌮😂 Let’s start with the enchiladas with mole sauce. That mole is so rich and smooth it probably has a 401(k). Deep, chocolatey, savory magic — I considered asking for a straw but decided to keep things classy. The enchiladas were just lounging in it like they knew they’d made it in life. The flauta? Crispy enough to wake up your ancestors. One bite and I heard a crunch echo into next week. And the tamales? Soft, steamy little bundles of joy. I unwrapped one like it was a present and honestly considered thanking it for existing. Now the horchata. Listen. This isn’t just a drink — it’s emotional support in a cup. Sweet, cinnamon-y, ice-cold perfection. I took one sip and immediately forgave everyone who’s ever wronge

Clean restaurant, friendly and serviceable staff, and amazing tacos! - Chips and salsa were brought to our table as we waited for our food, which was a huge plus for me. I ordered the Al Pastor tacos and they made my taste buds so happy. Can't wait to come back when I'm in the Trenton area again and explore more of the menu!

This is my 2nd experience with this establishment and both times I was happy with the food/service. The food was reasonably priced for a "mom and pop" style restaurant. The food was plentiful and I even got an extra flauta (received 4) in my order! Great food and experience! Will return for sure!

This is one of those hole in the wall places that you wish you had discovered sooner. I eat here as often as I can. I've literally never had a bad dish. Prices are good, especially for the amount of food. Treat yourself. Go there now.

I'm not sure if they're under new management, but this place had a whole new vibe! I stopped in to grab lunch, and they were ready to rock and roll! I really appreciated that is was in and out in less than 10 minutes. My tacos were great. They were stuffed! I also love that they have a 2 taco & rice platter. $16 bucks is a little steep for it, but it is a respectable portion. I really liked the rice. I could smell the real butter in it. That tells me someone took time to make this well. I looooove the red "salsa" that comes the tacos. It's GREAT on the rice. They have lunch specials now. There's outdoor seating.
