I haven't been there in a while, but when I went…I LOVED it! They have huge burritos and salads and really nice atmosphere. If I'm in the Montclair area again, I definitely want to go to this place.
I have got to get acquainted with food places in the Montclair area now that I am here. What better way to do so then with co-workers who know area. They took me to Tinga Taqueria a few weeks ago. This place is very warm, cozy and with tight seating arrangement (if packed). It was okay with me since there were very little people having lunch the day we went.
We shared $5.25 8oz guac portion. They order their 8" bar size burritos that came with salad and I had the 12" Sautéed Spinach Veggie burrito (fresh spinach, sautéed with garlic and onions in a spinach tortilla) and took home the BBQ Chicken burrito (Hickory-smoked chicken simmered in our tangy BBQ sauce in a tomato tortilla) for dinner that night. I could not believe the portion sizes of an 8" and the price ranged anywhere from $5.00 – $8.99 and the 12" $6.99 – $12.45 all depending on the type of burrito you order. I enjoyed the spinach burrito at the restaurant but when I ate the BBQ chicken burrito at home, I really fell in deep like with this one. That was one of the burritos the waiter recommended along with the BBQ Pork burrito. I am glad he suggested the BBQ chicken because it's now my favorite.
For my check list:
Cleanness – check
Service – check
Price – check, check
Location – maybe hard to find a street parking but – check
I am definitely going back to try other food selection when I can.
Tinga has decent food that is a little overpriced. Huge burritos and great service. The restaurant is small and has a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Great place to bring children.
Nice little spot for Mexican food. I had been to the Westfield and Millburn locations in the past but this was my first time at the Montclair location.
I ordered the Tinga Chicken Burrito which was stuffed with rice, black beans, and chicken. You had the option to add guacamole inside or outside of your burrito too which was nice.
Service was decent.
Have never had a bad take out meal from here. Love their Mexican traditionals with fish and/or spinach. Yet their pork sandwiches are yummy too. Definitely good chips and salsa.
Good for a casual BYO Mexican meal in Montclair. The food wasn't anything spectacular, but it was a fun atmosphere and every table (both indoors and outdoors, despite the incredibly hot 95 degree weather) was occupied. I split the vegetable platter and the steak and Portobello mushroom quesadilla with a friend, and we enjoyed both. The prices were very reasonable and the large portion sizes ensured we had enough to take home for lunch the next day.
Delicious food, great music, clean place in a great environment. I had the 12 inch Chicken Tinga Burrito and a side of guacamole my wife had the Tinga Mushroom Wrap, equally delicious.
Great food, friendly staff and fast service!
Came here the other day, and ordered the Chicken Tinga Burrito, and it was really good! Definitely recommend for a quick lunch spot. Prices are pretty good too!
