Located in Hammonton, NJ, La Caretta Taqueria is a cozy spot with limited parking, but with only a few tables inside, it makes sense. You seat yourself and order at the counter, and the place is clean as soon as you walk in. We started with the guacamole—very fresh, great salty-chip pairing. I really wish they served limes, because that would’ve taken it over the top. They bring their verde and rojo sauces table-side, both solid additions. (Side note: I hate asking for extras because I feel like it skews the review) My wife ordered a steak burrito, and I continued my search for the best birria tacos in NJ. Unfortunately, this place wasn’t it, and here’s why: the birria queso tacos were just okay. A single-wrapped tortilla with birria meat, fresh onion, and cilantro. The consommé needed more flavor—not bad, just lacking. Personally, I prefer birria tacos double-wrapped, loaded with cheese, and seasoned like you mean it.

You don't typically expect to find this good of Mexican dishes in a smaller town, wow! Just incredible alambre with homemade tortillas and my wife went crazy for her al pastor burrito. Horcata was great too, would 100% stop here again for a meal and very friendly service to boot!
