Afrotaco

A passion for two rich food cultures sparked the creation of Afrotaco, a Hillside, NJ food truck that blends Ghanaian flavors with Mexican favorites. Founded in 2018 by a Ghana native with a love for Mexican cuisine, the concept quickly earned a devoted following and widespread recognition. Among its proudest achievements is being named one of the Top 25 Restaurants by NJ.com, standing out as the only food truck to make the list.

Afrotaco’s menu delivers a creative fusion that guests will not find anywhere else. Signature Afro Tacos pair classic taco ingredients with flavorful jollof rice, while hearty Afro Burritos are packed with rice, beans, fresh toppings, and a choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, salmon, or vegetables. Popular specialties include the Oxtails Bowl, Real Lump Crab Cake Bowl, and Jollof Stir Fry, each showcasing the truck’s unique approach to combining West African and Mexican influences.

From college campuses to corporate functions and community festivals, Afrotaco brings an exciting catering experience to events throughout New Jersey. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and distinctive recipes make this food truck a memorable addition to any gathering. Guests arrive curious about the fusion and leave talking about the flavors, helping Afrotaco continue building its reputation as one of the region’s standout mobile dining experiences.
