Our Story

From Mexico City
a New Jersey

One family, one recipe, one passion. We bring the authentic flavor of the streets of Mexico City to the heart of New Jersey.

The origin

A Tradition that
Cross Borders

It all began with a family recipe passed down through generations on the streets of Mexico City. Tacos prepared with fresh ingredients, handmade sauces and the love of those who grew up seeing how food brings families together.

When we arrived in New Jersey, we brought more than a recipe - we brought a way of understanding cooking: no shortcuts, no artificial ingredients, with the same respect for flavor that we learned as children. Thus was born D&K Taqueria.

Today, with two branch offices in Lodi and Paterson, We are still the same place we have always been: a neighborhood taqueria where every dish is prepared with the same dedication as the first day.

"Five years bringing the most authentic flavors of CDMX to New Jersey. Tacos, burritos and more - made with love and tradition."

Our Path

Five years of history, flavor and community in New Jersey.

The first steps

With a family recipe and a lot of effort, we opened our doors in Lodi, NJ. A small place with big flavors that quickly conquered the palate of the neighborhood.

Extended menu

The community was asking for more. We listened and expanded our menu with new traditional dishes: burritos, quesadillas, tortas and more recipes straight from the CDMX.

We arrived in Paterson

The growth and loyalty of our customers made it possible to open our second location in Paterson, NJ - bringing D&K flavor to more New Jersey families.

TODAY

We continue to grow

Two locations, thousands of satisfied customers and the same old recipe. Every day is a new opportunity to share our culture and our flavor with New Jersey.
