New Mexican Restaurant in Town!
Real Deal Authentic Mexican Food... Delicious, and extremely affordable, Taqueria Los Pinos (Tacos In the Pines) is conveniently located in Pan American Plaza in Livingston (formerly known as Owen Plaza). Locally owned and operated, Taqueria Los Pinos offers authentic Mexican food at prices that anyone can afford. The food is prepared fresh when ordered and is quite delicious.
