" I visited Taqueria Brenda Lee III just yesterday based on my friend’s recommendation, and I was blown away by the authenticity of the food. The tacos al pastor were flavorful and extremely fresh! The handmade tortillas were a highlight. However, the dining space left a lot to be desired; it felt a bit unkempt. The staff did their best to keep things running smoothly, but it could be overwhelming when busy. Still, I would highly recommend just for the food alone — can’t wait to try their carnitas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Brenda Lee III has become my go-to spot for tacos. The atmosphere is casual, and the staff are incredibly welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. I always order the tacos de tripas and they never disappoint, generously filled and topped with their amazing green salsa. Plus, the handmade tortillas are a game changer! Prices are reasonable. I always leave wanting more. If you're in Paterson and love tacos, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this little taco joint expecting authentic Mexican flavors and was not disappointed! The tacos de lengua were phenomenal, truly a taste experience. However, seating is limited, and it can get crowded very quickly, especially during lunch hours. The staff are prompt and friendly, but the restaurant could use a more thorough cleaning. I also found the prices somewhat inconsistent — being charged differently each visit. Overall, I highly recommend the food, but a little more attention to the environment would elevate this place even more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most incredible taco experience at Taqueria Brenda Lee III! They seem to embrace the authentic taco culture wholeheartedly. The al pastor and lengua tacos were rich with flavor, and their house-made salsa was the perfect touch! Yes, there’s limited seating, but I'm happy to stand while I enjoy that delicious food! For the price and the taste — it's definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had the most wonderful time at Taqueria Brenda Lee III! The friendliness of the staff made our visit extra special. We tried a variety of tacos, and I must say, their al pastor was hands-down the best! Unfortunately, the restaurant was rather crowded, and it felt cramped. The prices were reasonable and since the tacos were so delicious, it was worth it! I’ll share this gem with my friends, hoping they enjoy it as much as we did! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Taqueria Brenda Lee III, I am reminded of the authentic streets of Mexico! The tacos here are unlike any other. Freshly made tortillas and a variety of tasty fillings. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and every taco has a unique flavor! I especially loved the tacos de oreja; it was delicious and truly authentic. My only concern is the cleanliness of the place. It could definitely do with some sprucing up. But all in all, I’d say the positive experiences surpass the negatives. I can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came upon this taco place after doing some research on authentic Mexican food. I’ve been there twice now, and each time was delightful! I ordered the carnitas tacos both visits and was very happy with the flavor and generous portions. The owner was friendly — he personally took my order, which added a nice touch. The seating area is quite cozy, but I do feel it could be a bit cleaner. Overall, I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for delicious tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
