This place is a total hidden gem! I lived in Montclair for over 4 years and I can't believe I've never tried it till today ! If you're looking for good authentic Mexican food that hits the spot, you definitely have to try this! the food here is amazing. They hand-make their tortillas fresh, and you can absolutely taste the difference. I loved everything about it ! I highly recommend this to everyone! 10/10

The food was delicious and authentic. Super nice staff, too! I had to wait a little while but it was worth it. Everything seems to be made to order!

8/25/24 More than decent tacos, actually better than I expected! As you walk in you can immediately hear the Spanish songs playing (just a bit) loudly. Hubby is very sensitive to noise so he had me order the food at the front/cashier area. We've passed by this Mexican food joint a few times coz it's located by the main drag, Central Avenue. It's in a small plaza where a check cashing, hair cut & insurance place is also providing their businesses. There are about a dozen booths inside & perhaps 3 sets of outdoor seating in this small restaurant. The young lady tending as the cashier/order taker is very pleasant & fairly knowledgeable about what they offer. Hubby's order will usually be al pastor tacos (if breakfast then he would prefer chirizo). I was interested in the Gobernador con crema & a shrimp taco. Maybe the soda fountain is out of order coz she said they only have canned or bottled beverages. Within a few minutes, our tacos are ready. See photos. Looks a bit on the tiny portion but presented very well with fresh pico de gallo & mine has crema. The small tacos are packed with great flavors. I was surprised at how plump & juicy the shrimp were & the cool sliced radish on the side gave it a good refreshing finish. The spices on the pastor tacos were well balanced & oh so good!! Hit the spot! I don't know about y'all but this was a fun & tasty snack! LoL. All 6 tacos cost $19.20, not bad!! How delicious & delightful was the service & the food!!! We are definitely coming back to try other items on the menu-I am looking forward to the pozole Yum! Come & support this local business & taste some really good Mexican food Insurance check cashing haircut

So I checked out this spot for some Taco Tuesday while I was in the area. The tacos were $1.49 each and I got Carne Asada & Al Pastor tacos. Both were good but I preferred the Al Pastor over the Carne Asada. Definitely be back for more tacos in the future!

An AMAZING family-owned Mexican restaurant! Order your food at the front and they'll bring it to your table. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the pricing-portion ratios were perfect! We got a good amount of food and they were priced quite cheap! The food was also very good! Their Birria was very tasty with just the right amount of flavor and the meat was super juicy and tender. My favorite thing was the fact that they make homemade tortillas to go along with their dishes! Very cute and homey place, I 100% recommend coming here for a meal! We'll definitely be coming back!

Chuy's Cocina is a hidden gem for anyone craving delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of sizzling spices fills the air, and you know you're in for a treat. The menu boasts a wide array of mouthwatering dishes, but one of the things that sets Chuy's apart for me is their handmade tortillas. Fresh and warm, these tortillas are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Whether you're in the mood for a chile rellenos (pictured here with delicious rice, beans, and salad), enchiladas, or tacos, Chuy's Cocina will keep you coming back for more.

Quant little restaurants slightly hidden in Montclair. The staff is extremely friendly and you can never go wrong with the chilaquiles.

Absolutely legit local find. Family friendly and family owned. I came here two days in a row. 3 days in one week. The food is great. The menu is extensive. There are plenty of choices from Caldo, tacos, burrtos, sopes, quesdilla, and combinations. Everything is fresh and delicious. They have coffee, fountain drinks, cans, and bottles. A few fresh juices as well. The carne asada burrito is delicious. There is something about the flour tortilla that I really enjoyed. It was packed with carne asada, cheese, rice, beans, and cheese. Came with a side of green or red salsa. For not being a bean girl, these beans were good. The breakfast burritos with asada and egg are equally delicious. Super filling. The carne asada quesdilla was good too. I am a fan. Remember to ask for chips.

Let's start off by saying I'm so glad I found this place, it truly is authentic. The location is a little small but despite that, it's comfy. It's always clean, they are always friendly and the food never disappoints. The caldos are soooo good. I definitely recommend this Mexican restaurant!
