El Rey Rosticeria y Restaurante

Pssst, wanna know a secret? I don’t want to tell you. Come closer and let me whisper it to you. Found THE BEST Mexican restaurant in Central Jersey. The ambiance, the service, the food are out of this world!

Let us discuss the food, first. We had the Tacos de birria and Al Pastor tacos. They make everything fresh so it will take a small while. While you wait, they give you homemade chips and salsa verde and another sauce that is possibly chilpotle lime crema. They are not the average store bought condiments but exponentially better. Finally, the food came and we must say, these dishes were generous and exceptional! Both Hubby and I concur, the star of the show was the Tacos de Birria. The braised beef was stewed to perfection. You can do the famous dip and drink it as soup. The Al Pastor tacos were very tasty as well but the birria was so savory. Lots of napkins were utilized.

The service was also stupendous. The entire staff gives you a warm welcome and always make sure everything is right.

Exceptional service, food, and at great prices…sign me up! Needless to say, we intend to be back and next time, we will be bringing friends.

So delicious! I found them this morning because I wanted some caldo de pollo. They did not disappoint. Friendly service, very clean atmosphere and great food. I’ll be back later for dinner!

Cool decor, very clean. They have sitting outside under umbrellas. Borrow tacos seems to be a special here. Sauce is delish. Service fast and friendly. Complimentary chips with tomatillo and cheesy sauce(?). Big portion, fair pricing. Recommend!

Food is amazing, service is great, prices are fair. Please give this place a try if you happen to be in town. We seated in a colorful patio they have next to the restaurant. The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is because they charge you almost 4% if paying with credit card and they don’t offer tap water. A quick or easy fixes that will take them a long way.

Absolutely amazing food. I got the regular tacos and deep fried chicken tacos along with a soup. The tacos were cooked well and very tasty. The rice and beans were delicious and the rice was soft. The soup was so good I had to order some to go. Great atmosphere and everyone was super sweet. Definitely coming back!
