I don’t know how many words this post is going to contain because the english language hasn’t invented words strong enough to express my feelings for this place. Basically, if Taqueria didn’t exist I would die (or move to California). It is that good. I would go here daily if I had no concern for my health or wallet. As it is, I still make it here at least once a week in the summer. I decided I couldn’t have a taco blog without reviewing my favorite place so a few weekends ago I made a special brunch trip, trudging through the snow towards deliciousness.

The thing to have is the pork tacos. Oh god, the pork tacos. But since I get those every time I go I decided to try something new (in addition to the tacos which I’ll get to in a minute).

This beauty is their pozole.

A spicy pork and hominy soup that is perfect for winter and apparently hangovers, although I didn’t have one when I went.

They also have a version of french toast.

The picture came out blurry but the toast is excellent, especially with a side of rice and beans and a glass of horchata.

Here is a picture of me in heaven which is nice and cozy.

And finally, the manna from that heaven. Pork tacos!

I seriously can not express how awesome they are. The pork is soft and tender. The oily fat from the meat coats your throat with liquid gold. The cilantro, onions and lime are always fresh, never wilted. It is the perfect food. I even have a bumper sticker professing my love. It’s on my fridge because I have no bumper but it serves to remind me that every time I open that fridge whatever I grab will be a disappointment compared to the tacos I could be having. Seriously, these tacos. There are others too, steak, fish, cactus. All are amazing. But no matter which one I order, I always get pork to go with it.

Oh and on the way out I grab some Carlos V from the candy jar.

So that’s Taqueria. My first and only love. Hopefully, this blog will take me to many great taco places. Some I’m sure I’ll be infatuated with at the time but I doubt I’ll come across another like Taqueria. A jewel in the otherwise desolate taco wasteland that is Jersey City, NJ.
