Customer Reviews
My partner and I wanted to celebrate National Tacos Day and since we moved to NJ recently, we needed to find a good, reasonably priced taco spot. And we were not disappointed at Tacos Brasilio! The prices are the best around and the food tastes very authentic and fresh. And the salsas were so delicious and spicy! Not pictured here — we bought agua frescas as well (horchata and hibiscus) and they were served in quart cups which I loved because you get so much drink. If you want a bang-for-your-buck meal and eat authentic tacos, this is your spot!
Absolutely delicious. We ordered chicken tacos, el pastor tacos and birria tacos and all were amazing. The consome for the birria was full of flavor. I also enjoyed a delicious horchata which was not overly sweet, it was just right. I cant wait to come back and explore the menu some more.
This is my favorite local place for Mexican takeout and delivery. Their fried fish platter is one of the best Mexican dishes I've ever had. Delicious and super fresh.
I came here for lunch with my coworkers. The food and service were decent overall, but there were a few issues worth mentioning. The basket used to serve the chips was dirty and looked like it needed better cleaning or should be disposable. The bathroom was okay, but there was barely any soap the dispenser only gives out about an ounce, which isn’t great. I ordered the asada nachos; they were just okay, and the tortillas I received at first were stale. Another thing to note is the language barrier no one there spoke English. The only thing that saved us was that my coworkers spoke Spanish, since there was no translator available. I might come back if I’m already in the area, but I wouldn’t drive 45 minutes to return.
Ordered 6 tacos and a hibiscus drink from the food truck. They say $45. A little expensive but I understand the vendors also have to spend money to be there, so no big deal. After I pay she says “anything to drink?” i say “just the hibiscus” she pauses, goes to talk to someone and says “no that’s a taco” and i said “Oh im sorry, it says hibiscus under drinks, i don’t need anymore tacos” she says ok and hands me back $5. She then hands me 2 singular tacos that I apparently paid $40 for, in the photo. So I ask and she says again “so sorry” and hands me $10. I then said “hey we ordered 6 tacos (2 different 3 for $15’s).. did i pay $30 for 2 tacos?” she then runs and talks to someone again.. 5 minutes later we finally got the tacos we paid for. I tried to be as nice as possible because
