I'm from Los Angeles, and I miss Mexican food a lot. The only decent Mexican food I've had in the New Jersey/NY area was in Sunset Park Brooklyn. Until now. At Xochitl Tortilleria I had a pork torta that was yummy. My wife liked her bisteca taco (she also likes the carne asada tacos at Los Tacos No. 1 in NY). We agreed that both the refritos and the rice were excellent (the refritos were very smooth but tasted just right). The red salsa is very smokey and hot; we liked the green better, but it's still not like the salsa you'd get in L.A. The women at the counter were nice, though they don't seem used to speaking English. It took a while for our order to be ready, but they made it just as I asked (no cilantro on the torta but cilantro on the tacos). I look forward to trying the barbacoa. The tortillas are very good (that's how I found this place--a Mexican neighbor recommended the tortillas). They also have chips/dorados/ tostaditos. They had several good ripe avocados which is handy if you want more avocado or if you're making guacamole. I ordered to go (carry out) but next time will eat there so the food is fresher--there are several formica tables with benches.

This restaurant is somewhat hidden so it might be a bit hard to find. The good is good, it offers a good selection of Mexican food and some more traditional U.S. classics. Overall, this location is alright, the food is not bad but also not the best. The price is more on the high side and the service is ok.Wheelchair accessibility: Double doors and flat floor, very easy to get in

The service in this place is horrible. Seems the employees don't want to work. I really don't recommend it.

Unfortunately I don't see myself eating from this place again. I got extremely sick over the weekend.Whoever ate that chicken in my family got food poisoning, three days later still trying to settle our stomachs.

I am giving one star because it is impossible to give ZEROstars! I take pride in food… but this place gave me and my family food poisoning. Never again will I eat here or recommend this place to anyone. We ordered chicken nachos and I’m guessing they are doing a poor job at maintaining everything clean and watching out for cross contamination if we all got sick. Please do a better job at handling food!
