Mister Taco Introduce

For New Jersey residents craving a truly authentic and expansive taste of Mexican and Latin American cuisine, Mister Taco in the City of Orange stands out as a premier destination. This is far more than a simple taco stop; it’s a full-service culinary hub categorized as a dedicated Mexican restaurant, Burrito restaurant, Mexican torta specialist, and a prominent Caterer. Customer reviews consistently praise the establishment for its authenticity, fresh ingredients, and the overall deliciousness of its food, with one patron describing it as "definitely hands down the best place around here" and "very authentic."

Mister Taco prides itself on a vast menu that covers every corner of Mexican comfort food. The core offerings, of course, revolve around Tacos, available in traditional 'Clasicos' (with fillings like Chicken, Pastor, or Carnitas) and heartier 'Tex-Mex' and 'Rancheros' styles, featuring Steak, Chorizo, Shrimp, or Fish.

Burritos are offered in various forms, from the classic Mister Burrito and Pancho Burrito to the rich Wet Burritos, and for those seeking a meat-free option, a full Vegetarian menu is available.

The extensive menu also features authentic 'Antojitos' (small cravings) like Enchiladas, Tostadas, and Chimichangas, along with a full section dedicated to 'Tortas,' the celebrated Mexican sandwiches, including the signature Mister Torta and Milaneza de Pollo. For a more substantial meal, 'Platillos' (platters) and 'Most Popular' items like Fajitas, Alambres, and the impressive Mister Molcajete showcase the restaurant's commitment to large, flavorful, and filling portions that offer great value for money, as noted by appreciative customers.
