La Brujeria

one of my go to spots, I've visited many times and absolutely love their food. whether it's tacos or nachos, the flavors always hit just right. Great quality and quantity at reasonable prices. If you're into Mexican food, this place is a must-try.

Everything we ate here was outstanding. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There wasn’t a single thing that we tried that wasn’t delicious. 10/10

We order from here pretty frequently, and usually enjoy it—but lately the delivery has been really disappointing. The food takes so long to arrive that it’s often soggy and cold by the time it gets to us. Today I was really craving chicharrón tostadas (especially being pregnant), but when they finally arrived—over an hour later—they were nearly inedible. The chicharrón was so stale and hard I almost broke a tooth trying to eat it. Sadly, this isn’t the first time we’ve had issues with their chicharrón—it’s consistently tough and unpleasant. That said, my boyfriend really likes their burgers, and we both enjoy their guacamole. I’d recommend picking up your order instead of having it delivered—and definitely skip the chicharrón dishes.

Good Mexican food with a variety of styles to choose from. If you want it more TexMex or authentic, you can order it how you like it. You can’t go wrong with the Lamb Birria tacos.

Love this place. Good food and chocolate cake was so good there. Fast service and friendly. Only complaint tables could have some lower top tables for customers that may not be able to use higher top tables as easy. But overall would re visit again. We had tacos and steak fries and cake. All very good.

This is the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. I travel all over, so trust I know what good food tastes like. I have been living at the Beacon for 9 months, and just discovered this gem a block from my apartment. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff are very pleasant, and the ambience is incredible. This business is important to the community and I will continue to support.

Some of the best tacos i’ve had in my life!!!! For the price, quality, and availability it’s a steal especially late at night. I love the chicken tinga and the fish tacos (get them with the crispy flour tortilla). Always warm and stuffed to the brim + the salsa are delicious. If you live at the Beacon you MUST go here

Any time of day, fast and good crispy tacos with great crema. We order from here atleast once every two weeks. The bowls are pretty good too, I was skeptical because of the price of the bowls (slightly more expensive than the very reasonably priced tacos) but I found it worth it, great portion size. I’m still sticking to the crispy tacos, they could compete with any taco

We've ordered from La Brujeria several times and it continues to be our go-to for Mexican. The menu is extensive and varied, all of the tacos we've tried have been great, good burritos, nachos, quesadillas, and tamales. We're big fans of the cochinita pibil pork. I wanted to try something different last time and ordered the potato & jalapeño tostadas and they were incredible! Cheesy, flavorful, spicy, balanced with creamy avocado, crispy tortillas, just the perfect meal and a great meat-free option.

The food here is out of this world!! Everyone is incredibly kind and attentive, and the setting is great and pretty.

Gave this place a second chance. Despite the long wait time, the food was good. I ordered two Dominican burgers and flautas. The portions were filling. The agua de Melon was great. It is a bit pricey but they are not stingy with the amount of food you get so it's worth it.

Wonderful casual mexican food in Jersey City. Love the veggie iterations of Costa Das and sopes The GF loves their grilled chicken. Chips, beans and rice are all great as well. We generally carry-out, though the new spaces does have a small number of tables with counter service.

I paid $20 for the Brujeria burger I'm my opinion was expensive. It comes with With a few French fries. I request for more Chipotle May to the cashier and she give me actitud for that.

This is a great place for good Mexican take out. No indoor seating. I normally order delivery and everything is always packaged really well, (might be a location thing but it's consistently hot and fresh). The steak and egg breakfast burrito, extra salsa verde is my go to breakfast order. Big portions, always happy with my order!

Probably some of the best Mexican food I've had in the East coast. So happy we finally tried this place. 24hrs so you can get your fix anytime. Only thing missing here is al pastor tacos. Small place -can't really eat inside. But that's fine. Also the wait may be long but it's worth it. Been thinking about the burrito since and it's only been 2 days. We will definitely be back.

My heart is broken. This is my favorite takeout place, sometimes embarrassingly so to the point where I'd eat it 3x week when life was particularly stressful. I don't know if there's a new chef, owner, or change in supplier, but the lengua looked different and upon taking a bite I found it was FILLED with bones. I tried the suadero to and this was also the case. I understand a bone or two in a fish but this was not edible, sadly. I really hope this is a one off because disappointed is putting it lightly if this continues. :(

Although they took very long to deliver it from the restaurant, my tacos arrived kind of cold, so I waited until I got home to eat them. However, I was greatly impressed after warming them up they taste just as fresh as they were in the restaurant. Probably won't come here again just due to the fact that I don't live in the area but if I remember, I'll be sure to consider.

I love there borrow tacos and slushies! They open late and they're always fresh and flavorful

Awesome awesome find! My first trying this place out while visiting the area. They open 24h and they accept orders online so there's people pulling up back to back picking up food. This is a small take out spot with outdoor sitting. Great service and food came out rarely quick. I order the piña colada and the strawberry slush which both were sweet and very yummy. For starters we had the Trole elote (10/10), one beef 7/10 , one chicken empanada 6/10 and a Octopus tostada 10/10. For main we had the Birria lamb tacos with the consomé 9/10. Barbacoa lam flautas 8/10. Overall I loved everything and I would be back if I'm ever in the area.

Really though, what's not to love? I'm just mad it took me this long to find out about it. Even the location is ideal for cars to pull up and pull out since they don't have a parking. - Nice staff, patiently answered questions about the menu - Plent of menu options that can fit different dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc.) - No dine in, take out - Good prices, you can fill up here and walk away satisfied Open 24/7 too? Take my money

Fresh and flavorable Tinga. We had sopes and a quesadilla. Guacamole was chunky and just the right amount of flavor. Service was friendly and bar setting makes it cozy.

I must say the reviews here show this place no justice. I almost didn't make it here because of the food pics- we gotta do better yelpers because missing out on the flavors at this restaurant would've been a major L. There was a bit of wait time & that's my only complaint- but it's a 24hr tacoria so I wasn't complaining. I ordered the lamb birria tacos & the meat was so juicy and well seasoned. It wasn't pan fried like the original birria (which is what I really look forward to in a birria taco) but portion size, flavors, consome & side condiments really made up for it. I practically scarfed the tacos down & completed my meal with a bottle of water. The chicken empanadas were also flavor packed & paired really well with their spicy Mayo. This place is definitely a come back- no hesitation albeit midday or late night cravings.

Visiting from SC, this is my third review I've ever written but the first good one. Easily the best tacos I've had of my life, honestly they're probably laughing at the fact they're seeing my name on the order right now for the fourth night in a row.

I've been wanting to try La Brujeria for months and finally did last Friday. My boyfriend tried to call but was left on hold for a while so we just ordered in person since we live close by. We got the Chicken Burrito, a sideTostones, Picadillo Nacho Fries, Skirt Steak Quesadillas Gringas. They nacho fries were loaded with toppings and really good. Even the fries by themselves were tasty. The tostones tasted a little old but were fine. My chicken burrito was HUGE. I didn't love the chicken itself but all together it was pretty good. My boyfriends quesadilla was also tasty. For the price the portions are great. I'd order from here again.They were pretty busy when we went and people seemed to be waiting for a while. We did go on a Friday night so plan to wait a while during peak times.

Holy cow this place is good! My co-worjers and I ordered lunch via UberEat. It came at a reasonable time. I hot the grilled chicken with pepper and onions platter, which comes with two sides. I chose salad and black beans. My goodness I was impressed. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. Bit let me tell you, the grilled chicken was nicely seasoned. The salad was also impressive. I was expecting iceberg lettuces with some shredded carrots. But no. I got a real salad with radishes, cucumbers, diced tomatoes and onion. The black beans was also a really good portion. Overall I'm just impressed. And the prices were reasonable.

I feel bad giving this place a negative review because I really wanted to like it but a baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do. The meat in my birria burrito was super dry and the burrito completely fell apart in my hands. It also had guac and lettuce which was soggy and gross from the warm meat on top. You can see in my pic I didn't even eat half I threw most of it away. We got the jalapeño and cheese tamales but they used that gross pre sliced American cheese. Like when you get those lunchables with ham & cheese and crackers. That kind of cheese. The fries were cold when we got them, overall we were just rly disappointed with what we ordered. BUT this place is open super late so i appreciate that. If nothing else is open try this place out - but don't get the birria burrito or the jalapeño & cheese tamale. You have been warned. Enjoy!

The food is so good and decent prices. I go here at least once a week. They have a lot of variety on the menu too.

They changed locations and raised their prices - which is fine but what isn't fine is how BAD the food has gotten now. The chicken Milanese was awful. Chicken was inedible and rubbery and the breading was peeling off. Absolutely awful. The skirt steak tasted old as well. The flan is never really consistent. It's the most hit or miss item on the menu but lately it's not like they're even trying. It's burnt and dried out majority of the time. Used to order from here almost everyday but it's been pretty bad almost every single time lately.

Great addition to the bergen -lafayette hood. Open 24/7 sounded crazy to me but they did confirm their "always open" hours. That will come in convenient when all the clubs and bars are opened with optimum safety. There is no dining area whatsoever so it's all take out or delivery. Although, they do have plans for storefront table service during warmer weather. I had to wait a bit for them to put my order together so it gave me a minute to admire the mural on the wall outside that they finished months before they opened. The customer service was great. Allison was helpful and informative. She gave me a break down of the menu along with some recommendations. Everything was delicious. My chorizo breakfast burrito was prepared nicely. The proportions were perfect and packed with flavor. The chips were ok but far from my favorite. Looking forward to another visit to try some other menu items.

I immensely love tacos with all my heart and @labrujeria_jc is so worth the wait!!! One of the few places open 24 hours in Jersey City it is the perfect place to come to grab a bite after a long day, in this case after a fun weekend shopping spree. We went with the chicken and lamb birria tacos. Man oh man the flavors were off the charts!! The hot sauce pairs amazingly well. The lamb birria tacos came with a consume to dip in which was super flavorful. All in all, had a great time. Do expect a wait if you are going later in the day as there are tons of takeout orders as well. Parking is readily available on the street. I can't wait to visit again

So glad there's a 24/7 taqueria in the area! Really convenient after coming in late from traveling. My chicken empanada was stuffed and super tasty. The salsa verde is very flavorful (not so spicy tho). I also got the lamb barbacoa flautas - so tasty I forgot to even snap a pic! Four good sized flautas with rice and beans. Overall I think this place is worth it for the quality, portion, and price. A little long of a wait but super tasty!

Worth the hype - this food really hit the spot. Shrimp tacos and birria tacos were both tasty, juicy, and filling. The "stuffed avocado" (octopus) definitely did not look like anything I was mentally picturing when I ordered - came more like a chunky looking soup. BUT, yes there was a half avocado in there under tender tasty pieces of octopus and a whole lot of sauce that I can only think to describe as ceviche-like. Overall great- will come back for more. Note on eat-in: there's no interior dining, only a pickup counter, so really you're options are to sit on the outdoor benches, take it home, or just do delivery from the start.

La Bujera is hands down the best burrito spot in Jersey City! My go-to is the meat and potato burrito, and it never disappoints. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. You can't go wrong with a meal here! My fiancé loves it so much and he is a picky eater especially when it comes to good Mexican cuisine A1

Always order delivery from here with DoorDash, fantastic lamb birria tacos all I've ever gotten there cuz I can't bring myself to order anything else just too good.

lovely hidden gem. the artwork outside should be enough to draw you in alone. there are no tables inside, this spot is soley for delivery and take out. there are benches outside. make sure to ask which tacos are sold singly, the menu says they come in multiples, but there are some that are sold by themselves for about $4 to $5. the 2 types of salsas (hot sauces) are the chefs kiss. i loved the red - it packs the heat, but the green was damn good too. i grabbed a chicken empanada which was loaded with flavor, and it was stuffed to the max. i got the potatoe and jalepeno taco - i wouldnt get this again because the corn taco shell was not grilled or warm. i wish it was. the dropped the ball on that one. but the papas were delicious and it felt like a breakfast taco or breakfast potatoe taco. looking to come back especially since they have such unique style tacos with authentic protein.

I takeout a Grilled chicken Tacos and skirt steak which taste so good. It has lots of stuffing with so many good options. The flavor is just right and fresh. So many great Mexican food. Fantastic service!

i love love LOVE this place im not even kidding, their birra tacos are to die for and the empanadas always hit. and the prices are so good for what you're getting.

I was honestly disappointed in this place! I had their empanadas and they were really just okay! Yes they are really big but quality over quantity. The chicken in the empanadas was really dried out in my opinion! I am actually though very down to give it another try. The day I went could of just been an off day cause I've heard Greta things about the place ! The inside where you order is very small but the outside is pretty as long as it's a nice day out! All the cashiers give big slater bro vibes and are very nice and chill but again- food was really just okay! I hope to try this again though and see if it's better!

I forgot to take pictures because I doordashed and was so hungry but it was really good. We got the lamb birria tacos they were solid and the steak gordita really good and sweet plantains YUM

This is my go-to restaurant. I can't believe I haven't written about it. The exterior wall painting is extremely welcoming. The prices a great and the food is even better. When the weather is nice sit outside otherwise you are out of luck nitsca small place maybe two indoor seats. They make the best tacos and their rice and beans will have you coming back. I also love their WINGS with honey mustard sauce. Their menu extensive. Try a lamb taco!!! French kiss. Either corn tortilla or flour no problem. They even have a breakfast menu. Thank me later. Their takeout game is fast. And they are open 24 hours!!!

Not one to leave reviews but was searching for a chorizo breakfast burrito before heading to work in the morning and this place came up. It was a 20 minute wait from my online order to receiving food so definitely order ahead. Burrito looked pretty unassuming, its was huge though came in a box with just a container of ketchup, but one bite and I was sold!Large chunks of potato, onions and peppers, good amount of scrambled eggs, cheese and chorizo. So much filling and yet everything held together. Steal at $7. Was just missing some salsa to take it over the top, will ask for that next time. And will definitely be back to try rest of the menu, but this place was an awesome find.

Ordered on Uber with estimated delivery 30-50 minutes. Didn't arrive until more than 1.5 hours later. Food itself was also very underwhelming. The salsas all were watery with very little flavor. Chicken in the tinga tacos was dry and hard to eat without the watery salsa. The steak quesadilla had very little meat for the price. First time I've ordered food and decided not to continue eating it and had snacks at the house instead. Maybe it was an off day or I have high expectations for Mexican since I'm originally from San Diego but don't understand the good reviews at all and won't be eating here again.

Excellent burrito with Cochinita Pibil. Great menu, so much from which to choose. Very friendly folks behind the counter. Glad this is close by, we'll be regular customers!!

Oouu new spot on the block! Not going to lie, the only reason I wanted to visit this place so badly was because of the beautiful wall art. Today however, I decided to try the tacos and they were great! I got the fish tacos and chicken tacos and I loved them both. Not going to say these are the best tacos I have ever had, BUT definitely tops other tacos in the area. Aside from tacos, they had a pretty extensive menu which i was surprised to see. The place itself is not huge, there's no indoor seating. They do have tables outside, perfect space to hang out with friends in the summer. No alcoholic beverages are allowed though! One thing I loved is that they're open 24/7. I will note though, the tacos were pretty pricey, BUT considering the location and everything else, it's expected!

The food is to die for, but you might die waiting. I absolutely don't recommend pick up, unless it's nice and you have 30+ minutes to kill. We were told 15-25 minutes on the app, my partner and I went inside 5x- the front desk dude cannot multi task; the 5th time I went in my order was just sitting there and he spent 5+ minutes on the phone looking at me instead of just handing me my order (I get it, we all are tired, I had come after work, I work in retail, people suck; but I digress). There were 3 people sitting in the front not doing anything, but waiting to pack to go orders, if the front desk guy needs help--help him y'all! Then after sitting in the car for all that time. Going in and out 5x. They didn't give us consume for our Birria... If you want food from here GET DELIVERY. Even if you have to reheat it a little because they take a while the food is so so so so worth it, my compliments to the kitchen staff. Best birrira in the area, but the consume isn't remotely spicy, so if you're a spice queen-- get out your hot sauce.

The menu is ambitious; it's not that easy to find huitaloche quesadillas. I liked the flor de calabaza and tamal de mole on my first order, but tonight's salchica torta seemed to be missing some of the stated ingredients including chorizo. And two of my three deliveries were problematic, which might be a late-night thing.

Love that I was introduced to this place Would pass by it all the time as the beautiful murals would capture your attention. So many cool points for this place - they're open 24 hours and the food is amazing. Ordered a beef empanada (soooooo good) and the lamb tacos. Would return again and again definitely

The food is good! Great late night spot if you're hungry and want good food. There's benches outside to sit if you want to eat there, inside is pretty small, the service is not bad either, the food comes out pretty fast but I highly recommend calling in your order.

Vegetarian review. I don't know how to explain what happened - great reviews on Yelp and noted on Eater, so was eager to try, but I had a disappointing experience. We got delivery on a weeknight - took a little over an hour. Everything in the order was correct. I had the breaded cauliflower tacos, which were completely tasteless. No seasoning (on the cauliflower or the breading), and it tasted like maybe the frying oil was old. One friend got the breaded cauliflower tostadas, which were palatable once the cauliflower was picked off (and we added some sauce to it). Also tried the potato and jalapeño enchiladas poblanas, which I didn't like - the potatoes were just plain boiled, and flavor was lacking, even with a lot of sauce. Saving grace was the guacamole, which I liked - not as good as some other JC taco/Mexican spots, but good enough. I won't be ordering again - but maybe the non- vegetarian food is much better based on other reviews.

Summary: great tacos to go! Tacos are objectively the greatest thing on earth, so naturally I wanted to be one of the first to try this new spot in JC. I stopped by during their soft opening in search of delicious tacos, and I definitely found one of my new favorite taquerias! Authentic tacos filled with flavor. You won't find any cheese or sour cream (sorry tex mex fans), but each taco with double tortilla came with meat, radishes, cucumbers, onions and cilantro. Simple, but the real goodies were the meat options. Chicharron (fried pork belly) was amazing. It was crispy and delectable. The brisket was also great, but the biggest surprise for me was the off menu chicken taco. I usually have low expectations for chicken tacos, but they managed to maintain a juicy and flavorful profile. Definitely worth a visit once the location is fully up and running!

I've been waiting for La Brujeria to open for a few weeks and was very excited to finally try their food. They did not disappoint! The menu here is huge and ranges from breakfast sandwiches and platters to more traditional fare such as tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. We opted to split an order of the birria tacos and an order of the shrimp tacos. Both were delicious - fresh ingredients and very juicy, tasty meat. The beef on the birria tacos was tender and flavorful, and I liked that the shrimp on the shrimp tacos were seasoned before being fried. The location is easy to access - right off of Grand St. and their beautiful mural is easily spotted from the road - and there is ample street parking on Fairmount Ave. I can't wait to come back and try breakfast (served until noon daily) and some of their other entrees. Great addition to the area!

So I'm only basing this on to go. Every single thing we ordered was legitimately finger licking GOOD! Get the elotes, tamal de raja, and skirt steak tacos with a mexicola

This place is complete trash. I ordered a chicken noodle soup and what I got was 100% broth. There were cucumbers in my soup. I've never heard of that before and cauliflower. This is not a Spanish soup. I am completely disappointed I'm mortified and it tasted like complete trash. Never again am I ordering from here. If you see this place run in the opposite direction.

This place is a reliable choice because it is open 24 hours. The ingredients aren't anything special. I've had better Mexican food but again, this is a reliable place to order from. My go to order: - Shrimp Burrito (bowl) While they have an extensive menu, many of the items are hit or miss. The staff messed up our order a few weeks ago and was extremely rude and wouldn't make it right although we left a good tip (the order was made in person). I would recommend ordering through their website or a food service even if you're picking it up to avoid human error on their end when putting in the order. *** Note: Order ahead of time as they are always swamped with takeout orders. This will save you a lot of time waiting outside in your car or in the restaurant. ***

Great dishes, lovely artwork outside and 24 hrs Loved the tres leches but portions are small. Quesadilla was filling and empanadas were fantastic

Awesome- just perfect 24 hr a day. Owner of business around the corner in jersey city and I'd be skinny if not for this place

I ordered the veggie quesadilla gringas and steak quesadilla Mexican. Pros: both very flavorful and were large portions for the price. Cons: steak is a little tough, but it was also cold as delivery took almost an hour and a half. Grubhub refunded me 10% for the long wait. I'll probably give them a second try but I'll pick up myself next time.
