The Mile Square is filled with all kinds of dining options — whether you’re looking for something upscale or a night of casual fun, the options for a night out on the town are endless. But every now and then, cravings kick in for some we just good ol’ fashion couch grubbing with food from an off-the-beaten spot. Enter Hoboken Burrito. This Mexican eatery is serving up some oh-so-delish eats at its 209 4th Street location. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we’re sharing everything you need to know about this local Hoboken gem. Read on for more about Hoboken Burrito.
The Food
^The shredded chicken tacos (soft tacos)
For something a bit more authentic than Chipotle and Qdoba, but yet not as “fancy” as Charritos Taqueria — Hoboken Burrito is the spot.
^Verde enchiladas are buried under all of that cheese + sauce
Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and all of the above are what Hoboken Burrito is serving up. One of our favorites is the shredded chicken taco that comes with rice + beans, Pico de Gallo, and cheese. Get this in a hard or soft shell (depending on personal preference) and it’s the perfect lunch or dinner.

^ Steak quesadillas — these don’t come with rice FYI
The steak quesadillas are also quite good and while these don’t come with rice and beans, it’s filling enough that they’re not even a necessity. But if *needing* the meal to come with rice + beans (because same) — simply order a side of it. Enchilada lovers will also be impressed, too; from mole to verde enchiladas, these rolled-up beauties are tasty and filling.
The Atmosphere
Hoboken Burrito is primarily meant to be a take-out/delivery spot. However, there are a couple of stools by the window to sit at if you’re too hungry to wait for home (been there).
Pricing + Delivery
For pick-up or delivery, call the store at 201-268-7195, but for millennials who don’t like phone conversations (hi, welcome), Hoboken Burrito is available on Uber Eats, Grub Hub, and Door Dash. From experience, the delivery has always been fast whether ordering via phone or mobile app and the grub has never disappointed.
As far as pricing goes: Expect to pay around $10-$15 for a meal (which might seem like a lot for delivery from a no-frills place), but the portions are very generous. For an impromptu taco craving when walking 4th Street, diners can even grab a single taco for $3.00. There’s also the option to add extra guac, cheese, salsa, sour cream, or pico de gallo to any meal for only $1. Check out the full menu here.
