Reviews for Carlitos Barbecue Taqueria in Lyndhurst, NJ
Delicious food and a friendly, cheerful staff! We had a variety of tacos and loved them all. According to my son, the churros... were top notch. Also, it's cool that they make the tortillas while you wait. Super fresh, yummy food! Highly recommended. Read more
The best tacos I?ve had in a long time. Everything is amazing about this place from the food to the service. Such nice workers.
Quaint little shop. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered 3 tacos. Carne asada, fish and brisket. They were all amazing!... The flavor profile for each were so great. I also got the dolce Leche churros. They were cooked perfectly and the sauce insidewas delightful. Highly recommend stopping in. Read more
A hidden gem. I didn't know they were here until I saw them place at the NYC brisket competition! Great meats, you can order... the bbq straight up without tacos too. Also highly recommend the loaded Mexican street corn! Read more
Soooo good! I would give it 10 stars if I could. My husband and I tried almost every taco that they had and they were just... amazing! My favorites were the pulled pork and the brisket. I also tried the brisket Plato (rice bowl) and also delicious andlarge portion. We also got guacamole and chips tortillas and they were perfect. The guac was well seasoned and the chips werecrispy and not oily. And. Let. Me. Tell. You. The chocolate churros were to die for. Omg I could've ate 5 of them. They arefried on the spot so you get this crispy on the outside and warm and gooey deliciousness of chocolate on the inside. Read more
We found the place walking to the dog park, great smells coming from somewhere in the neighborhood, glad we stopped... in!...Excellent fusion tacos, more of a BBQ taco. Super friendly staff and tasty food. Don't miss this one! BBQ brisket, pulledpork, and plantain tacos. Read more
Excellent little Taco spot, from the second you walk in you are hit with amazing smells and know you are in for a treat. They... are constantly making tortillas fresh to order - takes it to the next level. As for the food - highly recommend the BirriaTacos - Delivious! The flavor of the smoked brisket was amazing, however the meat itself was a bit dry which wasdisappointing. The smoked chicken was also nice, however don?t waste your time - just go for the Birria and the Asado - trustme it?s legit. As for sides and toppings - big disappointment that I didn?t get any limes with my tacos, shouldn?t even be aquestion of having to ask for it in my opinion. However it was nice to see they put the pico, nice spicy salsa, pickled onionsand traditional onions/cilantro. The spicy salsa is addictive and delicious. Don?t forget to get some amazing tortilla chips -out of this word. Most importantly - the staff is super inviting, friendly and eager to help with ordering. Overall - you needto check them out, dishing out some legit goods from a tiny storefront. Read more
Definitely one of the best taco spots I've ever been to. So far, their whole menu is amazing, but I highly recommend any dish... with their brisket (their brisket is AMAZING) and their dulce de Leche churros. My only complaint is that they close thislocation during the middle of the year ????. I know they have a spot in Garden State Plaza and a food truck, but theirLyndhurst location is so convenient that I hope they decide to keep it open year round in the future. If you love tacos, youneed to check out Carlito's! Read more
