Customer service was met with prompt and friendly service. Food was provided fresh and delivered on point. Restaurant felt like a hole in the wall ( small but served its purpose for seating ). I heard about this place on TikTok so I wanted to try it out!!! I am not disappointed and probably would go back if I’m ever back in this town!

I’ve learned one thing….. that when a restaurant has plastic table cloth, there food is good. And Oh Paterson…. You did it right. Was looking for biria tacos done right… and Speedy Wey was the place. Crunchy/cheesy/meaty. And the Ramen was just as good. Just sprinkle some lime on everything for added flavor. A place to definitely return to.

The food was really good we tried and ordered a little of everything. I definitely recommend the birria ramen and the shrimp tacos. The consume for the birria lacks a little flavor but not bad at all. There is no servers so customer service is a little slow and it’s pretty small inside. The location isn’t the greatest either but i think it’s worth trying out the food.

The food is made fresh so be ready to wait (20min) but its defiently worth it. The shrimp quesedilla is tasty. Chicken tacos could use some sour cream or shred cheese but still good. My favorite was the pernil birria!! Even dunked the chicken tacos here. They have some seating areas, beverages, and have breakfast options. I will be back!

Speedy Wey was just what my sister and I expected from reading previous reviews. We arrived before 7pm on a weekday. It was a perfect time because there were two tables available and people already seated eating. We were greeted by a friendly lady Paola (I am sure I spelled it wrong my apologies) she asked us to give her a few minutes. This gave us time to view the menu. However, I’ve been looking for a local eatery like this and knew exactly what I wanted. Now I would like you to get the idea out of your head that this is a restaurant with waiters and waitresses and several chefs. This is a neighborhood eatery that has been noticed by someone and was plastered all over the internet (hence how we found it) for good reason. Remember you won’t be seated, if you decide to dine in there is a wait if no tables are available. They do take phone orders and you can pick up (we were prepared to take out if we were unable to be seated). We didn’t find a park in front of the restaurant, however at the light as you pass the restaurant we made a right and there were several parks. I didn’t find the neighborhood to be bad as mentioned in some reviews. I don’t fear for my life when I see a group of people outside enjoying themselves, which they were pleasant and spoke to my sister and I. Paola returned and we placed our order for the Birria Pizza, Ramen Birria small and a large shrimp Ramen birria, pineapple & strawberry Jarritos Mexican drinks. The place did become extremely crowded and I could hear customers saying it was their 1st time and they came because of the internet hype. There was a wait for the food to come out which we didn’t mind because we were able to entertain ourselves watching people attempt to use these 2 highchairs at the back of the store for seating. There was one couple determined to make it work for them, they were impatient and rude. The food was worth the wait! I was highly impressed. We will be back again. If you decide to go please remember there will be a wait so be patient or order ahead, also keep your expectations of appearance as mentioned in previous reviews and you won’t be disappointed Enjoy!!

Speedy Wey is a small mom and pop hole in the wall packed full of flavor. To understand what the hype was, we ordered the birria pizza, fish tacos, birria ramen (which came with cheese taquitos) and churro bites. The consommé is delicious. The pizza is crisp, but not greasy. The fish tacos were fried to a nice crisp, but the fish itself wasn’t super flavorful or topped with anything particularly tasty, but anything dipped in their spicy green sauce and consommé is heaven. The ramen….that is what you want if you’re sick…or healthy…or just alive. The decor is beautiful, with hand painted murals and paintings of powerful women like Frída. Even the high chairs were beautiful! The reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because the menu is unclear about the ingredients (THIS IS FOR YOU, my fellow picky eaters and folks with allergies). The person who ordered the fish tacos didn’t realize they came with avocado, which they’re allergic to, so they couldn’t enjoy it. We didn’t want to send the plate back and waste the food, so someone else at the table took it home. The churro bites also didn’t indicate that they come drenched in chocolate, which I neither expected nor liked. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to taste those. Other folks commented that they were well cooked and did enjoy the chocolate, but anything not listed should come on the side. I would be back, but not before asking about the ingredients on everything before I order.

I loved the food here! I had heard so much about their food that I had to go and get some. They helped me choose from the menu. The horchata was refreshing. The speedy Wey platter was good and so was the chicken in salsa verde that I got. They accept card payment so that’s always helpful!

My wife and I drove an hour and a half to Speedy Wey because of the hype on social media. We knew it was a hole in the wall restaurant but we did not think the area would be that bad, nor the restaurant so small. We waited 20 minutes just to order, and then another half hour to receive just our drinks. There are no servers, which makes it chaotic and disorganized. The food was AMAZING, the salsa verde was so flavorful, best I’ve ever had. However, the phenomenal food only means so much when there is no customer service whatsoever. The prices on the menu differed from what we were charged. There was a huge line and our table was right by the door, peoples’ rear ends were just way too close to our table, and weren’t moving since they were not being helped. Wish we could have enjoyed the experience more, but the food was to die for!

Was on the fence about ordering because The reviews were hot and cold. I decided to support them yesterday because I live in Paterson. Welp the cold reviews were right, the beef birria lacks flavor..I had to add salt, pepper and cumin to make the consome taste better. So disappointing.. I also ordered loaded nachos which they give you a lot.. Taste is better than the birria tacos and I’m not even a big nacho person. Won’t be ordering here again, I’ve had better.

This was my second time trying Birria. The first time I had birria was in Miami and it was really good but I had a few bites. This time I was able to get Birria Torta and my girlfriend got the birria tacos. These were the best tacos and tortas we have ever had. It was juicy and seasoned, and everything was so fresh. The price is what you expect it to be, but worth every penny. Parking was easy, food came out fast. Would definitely go here again and make this my go to Birria spot. Can’t wait to try the Ramen.
