“I cannot rave about this place enough. We visit about once or twice a week and everyone seems to get better. Highly recommend if you're looking for legitimate Tex mex dining. Clean establishment, food is phenomenal, the gentleman who owns it is so kind and attentive. The hospitality is just as good as the food.“
“Great taco bell food service was horrible. They want u to use the kiosk I refuse because I had a special request. I sat at the counter fir q0 mi uses while the workers just looked at me. I had to ask soneine fir the manager. After another 5 minutes she cane out begrudgingly took my order. Order was dine oretty quick but getting to that point was a process.“
“My girlfriend and I have been coming here for well over a year now, and it is unbelievable how consistently good the quality of the food is. It gets better every single time we go. The Al pastor tacos melt in your mouth, with the perfect amount of pineapple and smoky flavor. Highly recommend. Service, atmosphere is phenomenal as well.“
“I stumbled upon this gem (Gaelos) of a Mexican spot, tucked away on a corner, and let me tell you, it's worth slowing down for. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed. Despite the limited seating, the cozy atmosphere exuded charm.Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the chicken burrito with no lettuce, and they graciously accommodated my request to have the guacamole and sour cream on the side. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with perfectly seasoned beans and rice that were far from mushy. The toasted burrito added an extra layer of delight to every mouthful.But what truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and eager to cater to my preferences.In summary, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this charming Mexican spot. Whether you dine in or opt for takeout, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu, and I wholeheartedly recommend you do the same. Trust me, you won't regret it!“
“Went on a Saturday around noon. Food and drinks were nice and fresh. I had a mezcal and Blueberry drink and my wife ordered a tequila version of a Pina colada. For our meal I ordered the chicken enchiladas. The chicken was well seasoned and the green sauce had a nice bright citrus flavor and was quite enjoyable. My wife ordered the tree leches French toast which was nice very nice as well. The only disappointment was the fact that they only served brunch and we were looking to have the mole. Wish we were told prior to being seated or at least a sign posted. Not used to seeing brunch on Saturdays, usually thought brunch was reserved for Sundays. Will try again in the future but for dinner instead.“
“This place is amazing I went there based on the reviews I was a bit nervous as my family and I love Mexican food and we have our fav spot but we were ready to explore soemthing new and let me tell you this is THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD is simple but delicious the tortillas were so fresh and the chips and salsa verde WOW it was a party in my mouth. We loved it and its definitely our #1 spot. Alfredo the owner sat and talked to us and was super friendly also. We really recommend this place. ?“
“Ordered food for a family party and EVERYONE at the party loved the food. They delivered the food to our home and couldn’t have been nicer. I had never even eaten there before and decided to support a local business and I’m so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. HIGHLY “
“Unfortunately yelp won't let me go past 5 stars and this place deserves wayyy more! Before I moved my dad and I would come almost every Saturday together for lunch since I was 10-11 years old. This restaurant has a tex mex flair. We have had so many different things on the menu we highly recommend. Baby Back Ribs w/the spicy rub, the special : Sliders & Street Tacos and Chicken /Steak Fajitas for entrees. For starters we suggest going with guacamole or a soup. There's homemade chicken tortilla & Black bean soup. The chips are great and salsa tastes fresh medium spice level. To finish we recommend the award winning flan its *chefs kiss*. Each table also has some homemade sauces that range Fromm mild to spicy and a bit Smokey you can add to your BBQ or Tacos. Since the flood the place has had a total makeover which looks fabulous , including now being able to order cocktails which was totally needed now the place I grew up with is growing up with me too now we can both drink! haha. The owners Mike & Mel are so kind and provide such a great menu & specials options. Their staff are amazing people and so helpful when it comes to new people coming to try out Grub Hut for the 1st time. I also included some take out pictures as I wasn't able to find any pictures of the BBQ options I ate while dining in.“
“We stopped in for dinner based on an Instagram post I saw about the Birria tacos being awesome. While I agree the pricing is a bit high you can tell the ingredients are fresh and good quality....they haven't been sitting under a heat lamp for 8 hours. The staff was super friendly! We had the birria tacos which were soooo delicious they melt in your mouth! Fresh salsa and chips and a couple of street tacos....all very delicious and fresh!! We will definitely be back for more!!! Give this place a try....its worth it!“
“We went here with a friend. The kitchen was a bit loud like someone was banging pots. Decor is pretty sparse, we were the only people there on a Saturday evening. The tacos are good, don't expect any sort of side like beans or rice. Everything on the menu is less than $15 so expect the experience to line up accordingly.“
“A warm weather day calls for an outdoor dinner at Maria's! Got my usual go to which is Maria's Burrito. A regular burrito but drenched in their mole sauce. Then I add their la diabla sauce on top to make it spicy. Chefs Kiss. The shrimp la diabla is also a good go to and that thing packs heat! The residential cat was out and about. I'm pretty sure I saw it last time I dined outside too. The cat is real chill. It just roams. A side note: they updated the look of their menu. Reorganized the flow of items, text size, and prices.“
“Had such a great breakfast here today. The red velvet waffles were delicious as was the latte I ordered. My daughter had the huevos rancheros which she said was really good. My niece had the eggs Benedict which she said was cooked perfectly. Such a nice cafe with friendly staff. Will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: They had high chairs available.“
“First time coming to this place. I did not expect it to be a "house", but it was a pleasant surprise. The girl that took our order was really nice and attentive throught our meal. We ordered a tamal verde and tamal de mole to start with. I had enchiladas verdes with chicken for dinner. The portion of the food was perfect. My husband ordered the steak with rice and beans that came with what looked like hand made tortillas. I also ordered their piña colada which tasted natural to me. It was refreshing. The total for two dinners was also a plus. Will definitely go backParking: only 5 spots for the restaurant, but the restaurant is small with atleast 5 tables inside“
“I tried their birria tacos when they first opened (1-2 years ago), and they were good but I remember the tacos were on the smaller side compared to others I've had (e.g. Chofi in Union). Granted, they were a new restaurant and I assumed still working out some kinks. In all honesty, I ended up forgetting about this restaurant. I just ordered through Uber eats today, and the tacos were bigger than last time, tasted amazing, and delivered hot. Flavor was on point for the tacos, consome, and green salsa. Happy to add The Birria Kitchen in my rotation of local restaurants!“
“What a great restaurant! We found it by chance and it’s like a little jewelry box filled with good authentic atmosphere, delicious food and amazing music. Señora Alma, the owner treated us as the family, the tacos were tasty. They also have some Oaxaca souvenirs and pottery for sale, the ambience is welcoming and warm.I will definitely be back for more. And did I mention they have parking lot next door for their customers.“
“This place is a gem in HP, quaint and charming, hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The Tacos al Pastor was especially memorable. Must try!!“
“Whenever I am in the area, this Mexican deli is my go to stop! Lots of my Mexican restaurant only give three tacos in the order BUT this place does four. It has been years since I found a place that does 4 tacos in a order! 100% recommend the tacos from this place and picadas. The only down part of this place is the dining, there are only a couple of tables and in the weekend it is usually hard to find one. I have been very lucky and have always found a table but I have seen others. The owner of this restaurant shows great hospitality and is attentive to customers.“
“Always a great time here, food is delicious and the alcohol is actually good. Never felt sick after drinking margs here even the next day. The food is large portions and always delicious. Recommend getting apps and margs then sharing tacos because we always fill up after we ate that. The wait typically isn’t bad and there’s always been space at the bar to wait. Would recommend it here if you are looking for good Mexican food“
“BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT HANDS DOWN!!!! The food was soo good, the mole is definitely handmade and not store bought. The pozole was soo good, very authentic without the extra padding. Picaditas was on spot with the cook time. The beans were also made so well, it was really impressive.Over all, this restaurant is definitely authentic in every sense. The staff was so nice and attentive, the lady that made the food was very humble and kind. It is definitely a hidden gem that needs more exposure.“
“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!“

“We went Sunday afternoon as a group of 10. We ordered 9 different entrées and they were all great. My husband loved the steak fajitas and the steak with chimichurri sauce was a hit!! The food was fresh and not overly salty. Our servers were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!“
“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“
“If you’re looking for savory food this is is the place. Had to try the menu and it’s been 3 times already jajaja. The tacos are loaded, great prices, the atmosphere is quiet and chill, and the natural juices are great as well. If you’re in the area definitely a must try.“
“Tried New Brunswick location today for the first time after hearing raving reviews from my co-workers. I am very impressed! I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!“
“The place is just fun to eat at; great lighting, fun decorations. All our food was great, and the create your own taco menu was AWESOME! Prices were very reasonable as well, and staff was on point. (Went here before a show at the State Theater)“
“This place was so good. We visited from out of state and now I wish I had one close to my home. Chips and salsa were amazing. Beef enchiladas were sooo good. Enchilada sauce was some of the best I’ve ever had. My mouth is watering writing this review.Service was great too and we enjoyed the atmosphere!“
“(Translated by Google) The place is new and I dared to visit it for the moment the service was great what I hope to receive in the service is first a smile and I received it very super well from the waitress, also the food tastes good, the tortilla chips were missing at the entrance with its sauce but everything was fine, the cook's service was very good, he even offered me a taste of the food they cook there, which I didn't receive because I was on the way out and I was in a hurry, but the truth is I plan to go back again to try some other dish and give the next review.(Original)El lugar es nuevo y me atreví a visitarlo por el momento el servicio estuvo genial lo que espero recibir en el servicio es primero una sonrisa y la recibí muy súper bien de la mesera, además la comida esta buena buen sabor, faltaron los totopos de entrada con su salsa pero todo bien el servicio del cocinero muy bueno hasta me ofreció darme una prueba de los alimentos que cocinan ahí lo cual no recibí por que iba de salida y tenia prisa pero la verdad pienso volver de nuevo a probar algún otro platillo y dar el siguiente review.“
“When it comes to Mexican cuisine, this is the spot where you should spend your money. Small location but suitable for a party of 4. I mean, you just have to make a stop and try for yourself. The price is also great for the food you're getting. Try it out.“
“We ordered here on Sunday and loved the homemade guacamole and chips. My husband had the spicy pork tacos and I the enchiladas in green sauce. It was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. I craved it again and ordered on Wednesday evening. This time a gentleman was preparing the food and at the front desk. It was just as delicious, authentic and could taste that the chef took pride in the dishes.“
“I had the Chicken Enchiladas (red) and it was wonderful!!! Fresh, delicious homemade Tres Leches!!! Best ever! Nice, casual, very clean, very friendly! The owner herself took my order. The food came out quickly and it was delicious!!!!!! Excellent Chipotle Chicken!Parking: Large public parking lot right beside it and also street parking.“
“We've been waiting for this place to open for a while because we haven't found good Mexican in the area. We just tried this place for the first time today and we'll definitely be coming back! Ordered the quesa birria tacos, el pastor tacos, chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadillas, and rice and beans. Everything was really full of flavor! So excited they are opened!“
“Place is not bad. First time we went was for my wife's birthday. We were excited for Birria tacos. The consome was not bad. My wife enjoyed it. Taco shells are crispy and cheese was just the right amount. Meat was good portion. The place is very small. Its my only complaint. The waitress is good but there's only one in the place so if it's busy it's hard for her to tend to every table but she tries her best. They should add ground beef as part of their meat options. I would recommend this place if you're in a mood for some good tacos.“
“Yelped a local place for authentic street tacos and found this gem. From the outside, it's very plain. Almost can't tell it's open but when you see everyone coming in & out, you know it's THE spot. Got my order to go although next time I'll be eating it indoors. The space is huge with lots of tables. Put in my order for al pastor tacos. He said 25 minutes but I got it waaaay less time! Soooo freaking good! Satisfying and filling! Five tacos for $16. Not bad if I do say so myself. Go. You'll like it!“
“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“
“When I say everything was top notch. I got the fried pickles 10 out of 10, the street corn also a 10 out of 10.To add to my madness I got the shrimp and jerk chicken fajitas. Babbyyyyyyyyy I was so surprised at how it came out. My food came out sizzling and I love it. The toppings were so fresh and so on point. I love this place it’s a new fav for me. 20 out of 20I had a margarita the mi casa is su casa it was so freaking delicious and I got one to go. It was made with casamigos.My first time here and let me just say I will be back. My waiter was sweet and attentive“
“A no frill restaurant. We weren’t sure if the server was fluent with English. The service was adequate.We had a burrito bowel, one verde con pollo (chicken w green sauce) tamale, one mole con pollo (chicken with mole) tamale, and a chicken tostada. For drinks we had jarrito mandarine and tamarind piña.The burrito was standard. The verde con pollo was delicious and the tostada was generous and tasty. The mole sauce was more bitter than sweet; it’s different from most places. The tamarind piña was good too.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a small place with upstairs, no good for wheelchairs“
“I found the chorizo to be extremely flavorful and full of spice and a great level of heat. I enjoyed it inside a burrito. You order via a kiosk and get a buzzer, and when your food is ready, the buzzer goes off, and you pick up your food at a separate window. The place has a cozy ambiance and efficient workers. No complaints.“

“I had to pick up a package at the UPS Customer Service center across the street (which this UPS's posted hours are different than on the UPS website and they didn't open for another hour) so I grabbed lunch here while waiting. The restaurant looks new and VERY clean with a spacious seating area. An employee took the time to explain to me what they serve and I ordered a Burrito Bowl ($12). The portion was HUGE and I was happy that I could custom order it as I like (mixing in both types of rice, mixed beans and mixed protein and lots of toppings to choose from). All the ingredients were fresh (including the lettuce and guac), tasty and nicely seasoned. The chicken was tender chunks and not grisly or chewy. I really enjoyed the bowl; it tasted like it was homemade and I had enough leftover to save for later. I'm not a fan of Chip-NO-tle and wasn't sure how this would be, but I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.“
“this place is truly great. we ordered a few things and ended up taking most of it home because the soup portions were nice and hefty. everything was flavorful and made when ordered. cannot recommend this place enough. as soon as our soups came out we were shocked at how big the bowls were and how aromatic the soups were. flavors and service were on point. hidden gem 100%“
“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“
“Came here with a group of 6 girlfriends. It was a bit early so we were seated right away. Let begin to say this is the first time at a Mexican restaurant with a HUGE array of menu options! We were greeted by our server Abel he was fantastic! We all started with a flight of margaritas which were tasty but had no alcohol in them we even mentioned it to the server. He did not bring out extra tequila or anything. The flight cost us $30 each for juice, that is the reason I took 1 star off!! We all shared two orders of guac... really good. Most of us had the mixed fajitas, my other 2 friends had the enchiladas and the sirloin steak and shrimp on a stone. Our food was great, good flavor and portions. At the end, we all were given a shot of tequila, even that shot felt watered down! I would come back here for the food, they definitely need to work on their drinks! If they start to get the drinks right this place would be out of this world!“
“This spot is a family-ran Mexican restaurant that has some very reasonably priced items! I found this local gem as a Rutgers student, but still worth the trip back whenever I have a hankering for Mexican in Highland Park 0 They also have lunch specials currently priced at $9.99 which is such a steal nowadays!“
“I didn’t know this place existed a few months back. I’m busy telling people ODOBO like Adobo my mistake. I thank God for such courteous service and a great GM Ivan that put all the pieces together and made my visit, though not the first, enjoyable, the food SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In Jesus Name may it be blessed and I pray that we can get one By My Home in Rahway, I’m Usuaally A HomeBody and Love Home Cooked Food but if I’m Out Oh Yes!!“
“one of the best places around new brunswick. not sure why it's 3 stars they have great customer service the chorizo, shrimp, and queso are beyond amazing this place is very good. MUST go to but don't go on a friday night as it will be packed with college kids.“
“I was in the area on business and just googled restaurants near me. This place popped up quite small but the food was very very good and very reasonable. My whole meal was only $15 that was chips and salsa steak fajitas and a Coke. Definitely well worth the visit if you’re in the area.“
“Food - the flavor of the food taste great but my food is always cold. There is no warmth to it whatsoever. Cold chicken, cold beans, cold rice, etc.Service - I’ve gone and had really good service. I’ve gone and the food service prepared sloppily prepared my food. Was rushing me as I’m telling them what I want on my salad. I was the only one in the restaurant; I didn’t understand their sense of urgency. Nor why they grossly put the food together like they did.Atmosphere - good/typical“
“Tiny little place. Good food especially for the price. I got a pork special. Rice and black beans were really good. The small side salad was good including the dressing. Pork was thin cut and pretty good. For $11 this special was very much worth it.“
“VERY GOOD, fresh and authentic Mexican food. A Very friendly and welcoming gentleman took my takeout order. As a Black/African American Born and raised in New Brunswick, NJ, I have driven past this GEM countless times but TODAY was my first time dining. Stopped in quickly for takeout lunch because I was in the mood for GOOD pork tacos. Walked inside and immediately felt like I was in Mexico and I say that in a positive respect for the culture way. I immediately enjoyed the Very traditional atmosphere with locals enjoying lunch. Nothing fancy, just regular people enjoying GOOD authentic Mexican Food and there was a PLETHORA of selections on the menu. I can't wait to visit again and try new things.“
“On a random need for tacos and pizza combinations. This place is to go to their consommé is a little bit on the spicy side. I was surprised to see a birria pizza here so I gave it a try and I couldn't be more satisfied. I never really seem to see it again I guess it's a special request but I would love to try it again“
“So glad to have come across this place!! I have been here twice so far and gotten take out once. The staff are super friendly and greet everyone as you walk in, but the aromas of the food greet you as you walk up to the building. They have a breakfast menu in addition to the lunch/dinner menu and I have happily eaten from both. The portions are generous and for what you get, the prices are amazing. Everything I have had so far tasted amazing, and the food is very fresh. The amount of avocado on every order was fantastic and there is not an upcharge for it. The only complaint I can muster up is that the location is a little small, and since the food is so good, there may be a little wait if you come at a busy time. But that is really the only thing, and the food is definitely worth the wait. I can say that for takeout, the food traveled well and was still a great temperature when I got home. Will be back a bunch of times, and will try to remember to take photos next time!“
