“This is a very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend“

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend“

“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!!“

Verdes Con Pollo Chicken with Green Sauce
Huaraches
Tostadas

“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“

“We came for the first time and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. The menu had a variety of authentic Mexican food. We ordered lengua quesadillas, torta de bistec y bistec entomatado fajitas. We were starving. Omg!! The food arrived hot and fresh. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! The bread for the torta was toasted and buttered and it tasted like they baked the bread from scratch themselves. A huge plus. The amount of food was very good ?. I love Mexican food pero yesterday it reached another level. So the lengua quesadillas, were out of this world delicious, it was well prepared, seasoned and cooked to perfection ??! Oh and everything had fresh avocado ?, it wasn’t black or sour how other restaurants try to serve you. I will be coming 3X’s a week if not more. Also, did I mention they make pizza!!! As you can tell I love food. I definitely recommend stopping by and treating your taste buds!! ☺️“
