Second time coming here, but first time taking the time to write a review. The staff are very welcoming and friendly which matches the ambiance of the small place. I can always appreciate when a resturant has good vibes and people. The food came out quick and fresh. I had the torta which was passable and the fries were just the right amount of crispy. Nothing else to note. My husband got the tacos which he rated a 7/10, which is quite a good rating for him as he is a Mexican Texan and adores his tacos. One of the better mexican restaurants we have had in Jersey but still on the hunt for one comparable to the ones in Texas!
Friendly service. Food came out fresh, hot, and flavorful. Looking forward to next visit and trying more items on their menu.
Really yummy food, great atmosphere, and service. I had the 3 tacos (Al Pastor - marinated port, Bistec (beef), and Camaron (shrimp)) and my husband had the Pescada ala Mexicana (fried fish with shrimp). Everything was sooooo tasty. Will definitely be coming back here!
Freshly made tacos to order. Clean and happy ambiance. Very friendly and fast service. You can see your food being made as you sit if dining in or standing as you wait for your to go order. Tacos Al pastor they actually have the cone of meat with the pineapple on top cooking right there like it's supposed to be.
