I recently discovered a hidden gem in West Orange, NJ – Folklore Artisanal Taco – and it instantly became my go-to spot for authentic and delicious tacos. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Sonya, who was taking orders with a warm smile and exceptional kindness. Her attentiveness and great recommendations added to the delightful experience. I decided to try the shrimp tacos based on Sonya's suggestion, and they did not disappoint. Each taco was generously loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp, nestled in a soft corn tortilla and topped with fresh onions and cilantro or mixed cabbage. The side of salsa verde and aioli was the perfect complement, adding a burst of flavor to every bite. With four tacos per order, it was a satisfying and hearty meal. The guacamole and chips were another highlight of my visit. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with the crispy chips. To top off the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing hibiscus water, which was a wonderful complement to the savory tacos and guacamole. Folklore Artisanal Taco is truly a standout spot with its fantastic food, inviting atmosphere, and exceptional service. If you're in West Orange, NJ, make sure to stop by and treat yourself to this culinary delight!

I came across this spot for lunch so I called in my order. When the lady answered I asked her a question and she had to find out. She hung up on me a couple times while I was on hold but she finally got my answer. I ordered the mushroom and spinach tacos and chips with salsa. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and the lady asked if I was picking up. I told her my name and she grabbed my food. It came to $15.94 total. When I got in I dug in and the chips were good with the dip. The tacos were a little salty though. I did like the sauce they gave with it. All in all I had an ok experience.

Food was okay. Service was really slow and we were one of the only two people in the restaurant. We decided to get the queso tacos carne asada and pollo, and chipotle chicken nachos. The nachos were really bland couldn’t really taste the chipotle on the chicken and it came with the smallest amount of guacamole. The carne asada was dry and the chicken wasn’t too flavorful. Overall it was okay but don’t think I would go back. It wasn’t to my liking and taste but I’m sure some other people would enjoy it. THERES NO PARKING. so if that’s something you look for just know it’s street parking and it’s always full

Dined in today for a late lunch with my wife and was blown away by this place. We ordered a set of chicken, chorizo and short rib bbq mula folklore tacos. These were incredible. Full of flavor, served hot and promptly. We split a horchata drink between us which was also delicious. The woman who served us was incredibly polite and sweet and the atmosphere was comfortable and laid back. We really liked the presentation of what we ordered and the dishes it was all served on/in. If you're in the area and want some seriously good food then this place is a mandatory stop.
