“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

“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.“

“This is a clean, fairly quick stop for food. Both the jerk chicken and chicken tacos were tasty, I enjoyed the fried crunchy hard shell. The kids meal is a great portion. I look forward to trying the crunch wrap. The temperature of the food could be hotter and a side of rice or chips would be nice with the regular taco meal. They have 2 person tables for seating. Late night hours are helpful.“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“La comida deliciosa 👌 era cliente frecuente de este lugar pero el pésimo servicio de atención al cliente por parte una mesera eh decidido no volver. ( Me atendió de muy mala gana y yo amablemente le pedí algo a lo que ella respondió indirectamente de manera grosera).“

“Their flavor is very good, they have a great Mexican flavor and their food options are varied. An excellent place to eat Mexican food.

Wheelchair accessibility: As it does not have steps, it is an excellent option for people who use wheelchairs since access is very easy and the staff is very friendly.“

“Muy bueno la comida gracias“

“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“

“Tacos tripa and carnitas were really delicious; tender tripa and tasty carnitas with just the right crunch. Pollo de Mole Oaxaqueno was fantastic. The chicken was super moist and tender and some of the best mole sauce I have ever had. Highly recommended- I will definitely be back!“

“las meseras super atentas la comida muy buena y todo se mantiene limpio ❤“

“Es uno de mis lugares favoritos porque la comida es excelente, muy buen sazón y a precio justo, lo malo es el servicio, cuando están los muchachos ellos atienden muy bien, pero hay una joven que atiende de mala gana, las veces que nos ha atendido ella es lo mismo, hoy mejor preferimos ya no comprar nada, cuidado con eso porque con gente así no dan ganas de volver.“

“We went in our Sun afternoon and here was no wait. The food was ready quickly and everything tasted delicious. The green salsa is delicious and would buy it by the bucket if I could😁. My table tried the birria, tamale, empanada, burrito, and more. Everything was great and I will return.“

“I just went but the attention of the ladies is very bad, they look at you in a bad way, I was standing there, other people were serving me except for me, so I told them if I was invisible, very bad customer service, the ladies are always angry, and twice as much as the sauce. It turns out “
