Benji's Taqueria Mexican Grill 2

"We happen to find this place when the place we were going to was closed down the road. My wife and I were very impressed with the food. The shrimp ceviche was the best we had. They are not cheap with the shrimp and nowhere in Dover where we had it can make it like here. We go out of our way to make a trip here a few times a month. The only funny thing to comment on and its nothing bad, is the choice of tv viewing. They continuously loop Benji commercials all day. They should have some kind of TV viewing but obviously not a deal breaker at all. Just a funny comment. We have been to both locations and definitely prefer the Caldwell location."

"Tacos were great! Al Pastor was my favorite! Great price point! Will order again!"

"Normally very solid, until their burritos have started looking like my photo. Undoubtedly the worst rolled burrito I’ve had, impossible to pick up and eat, it’s clear whoever made it didn’t even try. If I wanted to eat this with a fork and knife I would’ve ordered a bowl. For $15 I’d expect better."

"Benji’s catering was beyond professional! My company had a corporate event and Benji’s catered to my needs even though I gave them little notice. As a customer, this shows how above and beyond the restaurant will go for you… they went more than the extra mile. They wanted to work with me and help me out! Their customer service is top notch and more restaurants need Benji’s culture. They did not hesitate to do anything and offered way more than we asked. They set up a taco/quesadilla bar and the set up was very appealing.. food was so quick and my team did not have to wait in a line. The food was very fresh and delicious.. the best Mexican food in Essex county! Customer service is 10/10"

"This location has changed a lot this summer, from names to ownership to decor, but one thing stays certain: the food is fantastic. Benji’s has done a lovely job redecorating the space; the colors and decor are lively and bright, and the space is clean, welcoming more to dine in instead of take out. The food is delicious, and the menu has a wide variety of authentic Mexican dishes. When the waiter asks if you want to start with chips and guac - say yes. The chips are warm, perfectly salted and crispy, and the guacamole is delightful. They’ll bring out an avocado mixture (not spicy at all) and a decently hot salsa, so make sure to specify if you want spicier salsa; they do have it, but they don’t bring it out at first. Tacos were delicious and filling; I got al pastor and carnitas, both wonderful. My guest got the chorizo torta, which he loved. We didn’t have room for dessert, but I’ll be looking forward to getting the flan and churros next time. If you’ve been to this location in the past for Mexican food, make sure to come to Benji’s - they did a phenomenal job and you will not be disappointed. Staff is as friendly as ever, too. And if you haven’t been before, definitely give it a go! This is not a place to miss."
