If you have ever wanted to try authentic Kosher Mexican food, there is only one place to go, Taquito in Lakewood, NJ. Mexican flavors as not just spicy, but have lime, jicama, mole and more. When I go with my family, these are the must haves that we always order. First up is the Nachos which has tortilla chips, short rib chili, and guacamole with mango salsa. I, myself, am a big fan of their soups. Both the Mexican Chicken Soup, which is made with chicken, onion, cilantro, lime and tortilla chips and the Birria Ramen Soup, featuring short ribs, egg, ramen, onion, and cilantro. Both are sure to warm you up and are extremely tasty and filling. Next is chili. You NEED to order their chili. My favorite is the short rib chili with tortilla chips. It’s the perfect blend of meat, beans and spices. We also tried something we haven’t had before called the Crispy Birria which was deep fried shells with short ribs (you can have different meats) topped with pickled onions and cilantro. Another must have is the Chicharon Pollo which is crispy chicken bites which come with some lime to squeeze on top and three different sauces. These are like I guess crispy chicken skins in texture but they are actually chicken. We always order some wings. They have several on the menu, some hotter than others. This time we went with the Habanero Wings. They aren’t the hottest on the menu, but neither are they the mildest. Lastly, we ordered a breakfast burrito. This burrito includes sliced avocado, hash browns, chorizo, and scrambled eggs topped with chipotle mayo. It’s like the perfect bite. The service is quick and the food is amazing. It’s not a big restaurant but there are two floors. If you stop by, tell them Yossi sent you.
