Taqueria Brenda Lee - Passaic

You don’t go to this place for its service or atmosphere but for theirs authentic Mexican tacos. Be ready the salsa verde it’s really spicy. I recommend lengua, tripa and cecina tacos. Also they are not the cheap.

5/9/24Corner triangle shaped restaurant. Really, you can call it a hole in the wall. There are a few chairs and a countertop facing the window. But don't they say not to judge a book by its cover? Well, it applies here!4 tacos for $14, choice of 2 meatsChorizo meh, too smoky. I felt like I was eating charcoal...Cuerito soft but still firm, I actually prefer this one over the Los Amigos oneCarne Enchilada hubby loved itBuche this was good, only complaint is the pieces were too big, 1 bite I had to slurp it like eating noodles LOLSandia definitely real watermelon pulverized to juice, no added sugarThe menu online had more choices of meat than the overhead board. Hubby asked if that was all the choices? They said yes. So hubby ordered. After we ate and as he was thanking them for good tacos, he mentioned that he was looking for Seso, Trompa, Ojos y Cachete. They showed him all of those! *sigh. Told hubby next time just ask in case they don't advertise it. I said most Americans and younger Gen would never try these items, so they dont put it front and center. LOLCASH ONLY Parking: So hard getting street parking.There is a parking island about 3 blocks away where we found parking.

One of the best places to eat authentic Mexican tacos!!!Although the place is very small, they have a great variety of tacos..The only detail is that they could do with having the bathroom cleaner and more organized so that it looks good!

I ordered one portion of chicken tacos for $14.50 which is a bit expensive. The tacos did not taste good. The chicken looked and tasted more like canned tuna which is really weird. It also looks like the meat is stored in liquid behind the counter. The place does not look clean. The guys behind the counter were friendly even if it was hard to communicate with them.TLDR: Didn't finish my tacos because they tasted like they had gone bad and too expensive for what it is.

If you want some good tacos this little place is the best. Parking: You have to go around a few times to find parking. Kid-friendliness: Yeah.
