I don't understand why people are continuing to support this business. I went one time a couple of years ago and after I bit into a whole slice of lime (rind included) in my rolled taco, I never went back. Maybe that's authentic Mexican and I'm a gringo American but that's pretty unappealing to me. If you're getting abused, can the food really be good enough to patronize this place?

Best post on this thread by far, lol. They must have accidentally given you the lime taco... definitely an acquired taste.

It never ceases to amaze me how Hard Grove has stayed in business. Terrible service (every time!) and mediocre at best food. I guess the location is their saving grace.

To be fair, they don't usually put the ketchup packet between the buns hidden out of sight. I did the same thing the first time I had a Taqueria taco. Live and learn, but I doubt Beach Guy and I are the only ones who've done that. I've lived in Texas and California and eaten thousands of tacos - never seen the lime inside. It's cool, now that I know it's there - just wasn't expecting it.

not only did I have the lime issue, but one time i bit into a taco and it was surrounded by a paper plate and foil!!!
Seriously though, the only thing better than their off menu lime taco is the radish taco. so good with a squeeze of chorizo.

I sat here and read all the posts. I concluded that the Taqueria could have better communication skills, but, the people complaining are the same losers who couldn't hold a candle to the owners of business's. They complain about everything, don't know when to let got, and there are two sides to every story. Many customers are d-bags, and feel entitled. I bet at there job they aren't to hot either.
Also, it's always the same people who complain. They should get together with the Brewsters of the world, pool thier money together, and put in the time, effort it takes to run a place.Maybe then they will realize what it takes when people like themselves come in and demand things because they spent a dollar in your store. And people with Children, Leave them home. They are cute for a minute. Adults want to have a relaxing time. I have two kids and would never bother people with them when they were small. You love your kids, and people who don't know you will tolerate them for a very short time.

i've been going here for years and have even previously praised them on this thread. but i ordered here sunday night, my receipt reflects a $25 charge and they ended up running my card for $27 as my bank statement shows. i don't mind rude service and even found humor in the list of things they DON'T have, but scamming customers for an extra buck or two crosses the line. NEXT!

Next? Why try to create drama when everybody is basically Taqueria threaded-out? All cards are run and signed up front before people sit down. We've been open for seven years now and we don't "scam" anyone. If this is true then by all means come in so we can deal with it accordingly. We keep all cc reciepts for 4 months so there are ways of finding out if somebody is adjusting them after the fact.

" Why try to create drama" said the guy who made ordering tacos like trying to pull teeth.

Not advisable to discard cc receipts before 1 year, at least mc and visa. A customer can dispute or request a copy for up to 1 year. Not sure about amex and other cards. If you cannot produce the signed receipt, you're out the money. Also, IRS regulations state you must keep records for 3 years.

I have to agree with TacoTruck that if you are posting here about being mischarged instead of calling them/going in to give them a fair chance to fix it, or at least calling your credit card company to contest the charges, it makes me wonder if there truly was an error or if you are misremembering the $2 worth of soda you added onto your order at the last minute or something. It's this sort of grey area pettiness that makes people stay on their side and think that the negative reviews are just people being dumb. And frankly a $2 error is a pretty dumb and petty reason to stop going to a place that has treated you well for years if there is nothing more to the story than that.

If the customer has a receipt that says $25 and they were charged $27, I'd like to know that and am glad they posted. I doubt Taqueria is capable of a major skim scam but they should be with it enough to get their card charges right. And if they've made a mistake they should fix the problem in a gracious way. That's really basic good business practices.

This thread must represent a very vocal minority. I went to Taqueria for the first time last weekend (I'm new here) and actually found the service friendly. We had a takeout order as well as an eat-in order and the staff actually timed the takeout to be ready when we were leaving. That's good service! On top of that the tacos we had (carnitas, bistec, chorizo) were incredible.
Hopefully the crowds at their business make the owners realize that MANY people in Jersey City are very happy to have this place in their backyards and that not everyone is wishing them to shut down and move out. We just moved from Manhattan and between Taqueria and Zeppelin Hall I'm beginning to wonder if I have a skewed perspective on service and crowds. We've enjoyed both of them and they seem to be two of the most maligned places on this board.

maybeMoving, both places (Taq and ZH) are okay. You are correct in saying that in Internetz sometimes a vocal minority will skew the picture. But that's why the readers should be intelligent about it, and separate an agenda from a real deal. It is not that difficult. Worst case, go to Taqueria and check them out. Not terrible, and I actually like a bit of a a tude; it fits the area.

I'm never disappointed with Taqueria (nor am I with Zeppelin Hall). Obviously the complaints are from the minority because the place is packed everytime I've been in there for lunch. Keep making those delicious tacos and I'll be a patron for life. If you have a problem with them then give them a review on Yelp, stop going and end it there.
