Los Carretos Deli & Sazón Mexicano is where Passaic comes for food that tastes like it was made with love — because it is. Our kitchen follows recipes that have been in our family for generations, using the same techniques and ingredients that make every dish feel like coming home.
We start each morning grinding spices, hand-pressing tortillas, and simmering sauces that take hours to develop their full flavor. Whether you're joining us for a quick breakfast burrito or a leisurely lunch of enchiladas, every plate carries the same commitment to quality and authenticity.

These are the dishes our regulars order every time — crafted with the care and technique that only comes from years of practice.
Our birria is slow-braised for hours in a rich blend of guajillo and ancho chiles, then dipped in its own consommé before grilling until crispy. Served with melted queso and a side of broth for dipping.
A complex, deeply savory sauce made from over 20 ingredients — chocolate, chiles, nuts, spices, and toasted seeds — simmered for hours until it reaches the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and warm.
Every tortilla is hand-pressed from masa harina and cooked on a comal the moment you order. That's the difference — warm, soft, and full of corn flavor that you simply can't get from a machine.
We're right on Monroe Street, easy to find and always ready to welcome you. Stop by for a meal or call ahead for pickup.
