Wanna taste authentic Mexican food? Then this Small restaurant located in the heart of Bergenfield is your best bet. Washington avenue is a busy avenue but parking was not an issue since there was plenty of parking in the rear within a few steps away. As soon as I walked into this place i smelled authentic Mexican food. You'll be tasting real flavors and spices, nothing like that commercialized taco bell mess. Restaurants like Blue moon, panchos or any other commercial chain needs to learn from places like this, Simply rich in ingredients. Even tho the food is fresh and made on the spot my food was ready pretty quick. Servers were friendly as well.

Definitely one of the better Mexican food restaurants in the area. In fact, we thought it was better than any Mexican restaurants we tried in NY and NJ area. It came with coctus plant and grilled scallions on the side. We ordered head taco, tripe taco and pork skin taco and a burrito. So yummy and authentic.

It was ok. The chicken quesadillas were very small and made out of the tortilla for tacos. Enchiladas Suiza were alright. The chicken didn't taste the best. They did give a good amount of chips and salsa. Maybe I'll try another item on the menu.

The steak burrito is one of my favorites. I also recommend the tacos and enchilada. Be careful with what sauce you get in your dish as they can be very spicy. My favorite beverage is a large Horchata, a refreshing and slightly sweet traditional mexican rice based beverage. Been eating her for 10+ years. If the owner is in the kitchen you are in for a real treat. 9/10.

I had 4 hard shell tacos, 2 chicken, 2 beef. The quality of the food very good. Added in chips and salsa. Service was great. Reasonable pricing on the menu. There is no parking lot so park on a side street. Downside: higher than most for card processor fee of 4% as most others charge 3% so bring cash. All in all, will come again.

Solid authentic Mexican food on a busy street. Take outs can take a long time, but I think this is because they get busy. A little salty so I can't eat here as often as I like. The waitresses don't speak English as well as other establishments but to me it adds to the authenticity.
