★★★★★ 5.0 Emma J. · Mar 2026

The tacos here are on a whole nother level. If you are trying to decide on if this is where you want to eat. Stop! These are the Best tacos in all of New Jersey! The kicker is They are gluten free and Vegaterian or they can be made Vegan. Oh and the guacamole is incredible! * Insta follower 10651 *

I went to a supper club hosted by the chef, Amish, and it was beyond incredible. The place was decorated beautifully (including the plates!), there was a fun and excited vibe amongst all the guests, and each bite of food was so special. The level of Mexican and Indian fusion showed deep knowledge of the ingredients, and it was a mind-blowing experience. I'll definitely be signing up for the next one too!

Indian fusion with Mexican flair, made with authentic Mexican ingredients—Tacowala’s supper club is smart, soulful, and full of flavour. Bold spices, beautiful plates, and a chef who knows exactly how to make two cuisines sing together. Fun, thoughtful, and seriously delicious! Even better, it’s the kind of experience that brings like-minded people together over great food, great vibes, and even better conversation.

Tacowala is a favorite of mine for lunch or dinner! My go-to is the black magic quesadilla, but I haven’t had something I didn’t like. The flavors are all familiar but interesting and truly a fusion. I recently went to a supper club they hosted and was impressed by every dish! You can tell the owner is passionate about food and flavor from how he described each item presented on the menu. I added some pictures from the supper club here. I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner and trying the black magic quesadillas and the different guacamole and esquites!

We are regulars at Tacowala and we love the unusual recipes. Is it Mexican? Indian? A bit of both? Amish has created a fantastic medley of dishes that will make you come back for more. I also recommend the Supper Club where folks can try an assortment of fun dishes that is carefully and thoughtfully put together by the chef. Oh and don't believe him if he says he is not a dessert person!
