A Culinary Journey Through Mexico
NJOY’s taco selection boasts a variety of crowd-pleasing options, but for a truly special occasion, carnitas, al pastor, and papas con chorizo steal the show. Let’s take a delicious journey through the history and flavors of these iconic fillings.
Carnitas
Carnitas, meaning “little meats” in Spanish, have a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian Mexico. Traditionally slow-cooked in copper pots filled with lard, this dish transforms pork shoulder into melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The succulent meat absorbs the flavors of spices like cumin, oregano, and chili peppers, creating a plethora of savory goodness. The carnitas is perfect with some salsa, cilantro, diced white onions, and a squeeze of lime.
Al Pastor
Al pastor, meaning “shepherd style” in Spanish, is a testament to Mexico’s vibrant culinary tapestry. This dish is believed to have originated with Lebanese immigrants who brought their shawarma-making techniques. The traditional way is Thinly sliced marinated pork is stacked on a vertical rotisserie (trompo) and cooked with a pineapple on top. NJOY tacos grills the al pastor which has been marinating for a couple days and the result is a perfectly seasoned and tender al pastor tacos.
Papas con Chorizo
Papas con chorizo, meaning “potatoes with chorizo” in Spanish, is a simple yet satisfying dish. Diced potatoes are fried until crispy and then combined with spicy Mexican chorizo sausage. This flavorful combination offers a delightful textural contrast – the soft potatoes perfectly complementing the chorizo’s satisfying chew.
Beyond the Big Three
NJOY doesn’t stop at these classics. For those seeking variety, there’s carne asada (grilled steak), pollo asado (grilled chicken), spicy potato, and calabacitas (zucchini). With such a diverse selection, there’s something to tantalize every taste bud.
The Sides
NJOY doesn’t just provide tacos, they curate a complete taco catering experience. Every catering order comes with fluffy Mexican rice, refried beans, and fresh-made tortilla chips. These classic sides complement the tacos beautifully. The rice and beans provide a base to soak up the delicious juices, while the tortilla chips offer a crunchy counterpoint and a platform for the salsas and guacamole.
The Salsas and Guacamole
NJOY offers two salsas – a spicy red salsa for those who like a kick and a mild green salsa for a more subtle heat. Freshly made guacamole rounds out the selection, adding a creamy richness. These condiments allow your guests to customize their taco experience, adding a touch of heat or cool creaminess to their liking.

Aguas Frescas
NJOY understands the importance of staying hydrated, especially when indulging in flavorful tacos. They offer a selection of refreshing aguas frescas, a type of Mexican fruit drink. Choose from Jamaica (hibiscus flower), lemonade, horchata (a rice-based drink with cinnamon), and watermelon. There is also the refreshing lemon infused ice water.
