" Tacos here are simply delightful! I've been on a taco hunt across NJ and decided to give Brenda Lee III a shot. The authenticity is clear in every bite. I ordered the combination platter and enjoyed every taco! However, it can get a bit busy, and seating is limited, which can make for an uncomfortable experience regardless of the amazing food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Brenda Lee III is hands down the best taco shop in town! The tacos are bursting with authentic flavors and the handmade tortillas make all the difference. The staff is friendly and efficient — I was served promptly. My only minor complaint is just the size of the dining area; it gets claustrophobic at times. Either way, I would still choose to eat here anytime! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently stumbled upon Taqueria Brenda Lee III and it was nothing short of a delightful find! The tacos are a true reflection of authentic Mexican cuisine. I opted for the carnitas and al pastor tacos, which were perfectly seasoned and served with fresh hand-made tortillas. The green sauce complemented the tacos excellently, and I was thrilled at how fast my order was prepared. The atmosphere feels cozy, albeit a bit cramped, which adds to its charm. I'll definitely be returning for my taco cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos at this place truly reminded me of my last visit to Mexico! As someone who often craves authentic Mexican food, this was a treasure! I ordered the buche and it was renowned for its flavor. The staff were polite and helpful. My only concern was the cleanliness — it could really use some better management on that front. Nonetheless, the food’s taste definitely overshadows this detail for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I decided to give Taqueria Brenda Lee III a try, and I must say, the experience was a mixed bag. While the carnitas tacos were delicious and packed with flavor, I found the chicken tacos disappointingly dry. I appreciate their focus on using fresh ingredients, but the portion sizes felt a bit small compared to the prices. The service was friendly enough, but I felt a lack of attention during my visit. I guess it was just an off day; I might give it another shot in the future. " (*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*)
