El Mercadito

"I have al pastor tacos the tortilla was the only thing hot meat was nasty Worst tacos I ever have"

"I like this place. Its a small little hispanic grocery store with a good assortment of Mexican candies and pan dulce, some that I used to eat in my childhood. The cashier lady its really sweet and helpful. They have a few fresh fruits and veggies, like peppers, pineapple and avocados, plus a few more things like cheeses (oaxaca and queso fresco) and flan and pudding cups with jello squares and drinks. The back of the store is a little restaurant. My sister raved about their tacos, so I had lengua and steak, along with rice and beans. The rice was like normal rice from hispanic restaurants, and very good. The beans were fantastic. Ive never had refired beans from a restaurant. They were well seasoned with different flavors and had peppers and other veggies in them. The tacos were also exceptional. The lengua was nice and tender and the steak was seasoned to perfection. The only thing is that you may have to ask for more lime wedges or buy them in the store section becauae they only give you one wedge, and they could cut the tastebuds off of the lengua, since its a but weird to keep it on. Otherwise, My new favorite taco spot when I go to newark!"

"The inside restaurant is not honest with their price. I went with a friend and we got 1 lb chicken fajita. They charged 6$. I went again alone and they asked 10$ for 1 lb. When I asked why it is 10$, the guy tells me meat has become expensive. It is chicken. Prices don't jump that high."

"As much as I hate to out this place, there is a hidden restaurant in the back of the store with amazing Mexican food. The reason why I hate to out it is because it's never crowded because I don't think anyone knows about it. If you hate crowds and modern busy life, it's a great place to go hide and eat nurturing comfort food. Super friendly staff."
