El Macho Taquería & Restaurant — Restaurant in Harrison

Ever since I discovered this local gem in Harrison, it has stayed on my agenda whenever I pass by

This small Mexican restaurant has some of the best tacos in NJ. And, I don't know this because I'm Mexican. It's because the ingredients and taste are similar to the Mexican food I had while visiting California, where I discovered what authentic Mexican should taste like!

They used to have a crazy $1 taco deal, where you could choose your own mix of taco meat options, but that's over now. They bumped up the price to 4 tacos for $8, and you have to order 4 of each type. They have other specials also posted on signs in front and on the menu, like $30 tacos for $45 and $12+ quesadillas.

Nevertheless, the price is still worth it. The servers are always nice and cute mature Mexicanas.

They have ample seating for indoor dining, but no outdoor seating.

The restaurant is very clean and well kept with Mexican decor.

I haven't tried any other dishes besides the tacos, which taste very good but could be more flavorful. The green and red sauces are also a bit watered down. Their chocolate milkshake was also good and made with real ice cream. However, it was a bit on the sweet side - which is common anywhere.

Overall, you can't go wrong with this spot if you are looking for authentic Mexican food at a...

I recently had the chance to try this restaurant, and I’m so glad I did! I’ve had green chilaquiles before at work, and they were pretty good, but eating them here was a whole different experience. The flavors were incredible – the spices were fresh and had just the right kick, and the dish was perfectly balanced. Every bite was full of flavor, and I could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

There’s something about having a meal in the right setting that makes it even better, and this place definitely made the chilaquiles shine. I love how they brought out the freshness of the spices and the vibrant flavors. It was a perfect dish, and I couldn’t get enough.

I’ll absolutely be back. This place really knows how to elevate a dish, and I’m excited to try more of their...

What a treat this was! My party and I absolutely enjoyed all the food and the service was so attentive. They have two hot sauces, green and red, I usually only go for the green but this place has an amazing red sauce that I couldn’t help but finish the entire serving they gave us!

We had a shrimp nacho that came out Smokey and our table devoured it. We also had tacos Al pastor (4) , tacos ensenados de camaron and enchiladas suizas. The enchiladas were such a big serving and we were already so full so we brought it home and they were amazing leftovers.

Definitely need to return to try more of their offerings. The price point was very good and the service exceptional. This place also had good rancheras playing and other good pop...
