Avoid for takeout. I've visited this restaurant at least a dozen times. The food is great, but it's also inconsistent. If you're dining in, you’re likely to have a pleasant experience. However, if you plan to get takeout, I recommend going elsewhere. Every single time I’ve ordered takeout, they have taken twice as long as they initially said it would take. If they tell you your food will be ready in 30 minutes, you can expect to wait at least another 30 minutes upon arrival. Sometimes, the delay has been an additional 45 minutes to an hour beyond the promised time. Honestly, no one has that much time to waste, and it's poor business practice to treat customers this way. The food is good, and...
Normally we would go to a different Mexican restaurant in town, but they were closed, reportedly with building-related electrical issues. While we had some decidedly mediocre take-out last year from this place, we decided to give them another chance. As we ordered (6:30pm on a Tuesday), we find out that they are out of avocado, and hence guacamole. This would be an important omen, although we didn 't pick up on it at the time. No worries, we thought. After what should have been a simple two meals with no special orders, we figured we would be eating in fifteen minutes or so. There were 4 tables seated, and only one double ordered ahead of us. Forty-five minutes after ordering, we were told f...
I cannot say anything about the food that has not already been said.. what I really enjoy is the atmosphere. The authentic Mexican attire that surrounds the establishment is very fun to look at. The colors of the restaurant are very Aztec.. and when I heard the Mexican conversation that was coming from the kitchen it made me smile. Like as though I was back at home.. very honest place. And the flan gets ordered by the whole pie. I have ordered it several times just to bring as a dessert.. my wife and I usually eat their two to three times a month.. we bring friends.. We bring family. And some of the people just look familiar.. Oh yeah. And when those sizzling fajitas come out from the kitche...
We were in the area and looked this place up based on yelp reviews. I don’t know who is reviewing the place but they can’t be legitimate reviews. I feel bad writing a bad review for a family owned business but our experience was horrible from start to finish. First, we waited 1 hr for the food to arrive. The place was half empty so I can’t imagine how long you wait if the place is busy. I ordered fajitas and was happy when it finally arrived until I took my first bite. The meat was so over cooked, it was inedible. Both steak and chicken were destroyed and shrimp not much better. I don’t like to waste food but after a few bites I was ready to throw it in the garbage.

What a wonderful experience we had at this restaurant! I couldn't be happier. I visited the beach for the day, and my friends and I were starving. I was craving some Spanish food while they wanted Wendy's, so we decided to stop here. I placed my order, and it arrived in great time! As soon as we got in the car with my takeout, my friends tried my food and immediately changed their minds. We all ended up eating here, and I’m so glad I found this place. Thank you for the excellent service! The staff is incredibly friendly too. Don’t hesitate to come here!
The food was very good, but the service was very very slow. There was only one other table there when we got there and they were already served. One of the employees I believe the daughter of the owner (since she said my mom said we should start cleaning up if we are slow) fixed herself food and ate it in the dinning room while she watched something on her phone (loudly). She would answer the phone for take out orders or questions all while sitting there, never once getting up to help in the kitchen or anything to help speed things along.
When you walk through the door, you smell the amazing food. It's beautifully decorated with cultural paintings. My sister and I both ordered the beef empanadas with rice and beans and my brother in-law had the chicken chimichanga. Both entrees were full of deliciousness. Perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The horchata is amazing! The owner Minerva, is super awesome. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in Jersey. This Arizona girl highly recommends eating here.
Small family run restaurant with excellent, authentic, fresh food. Very reasonable prices and clean. I've been to many Mexican restaurants in my life, and this place possibly ranks as the best one I've eaten at. The owner is very pleasant and seems to truly appreciate her customers. The server was her daughter, who provided excellent, professional service. I will definitely be returnig to this fine establishment!

The Mexican food was good, but it was disappointing that they were out of pork chops, which is the house specialty we came to try. The service was decent, and the chips and salsa were excellent. We plan to give it another shot in the future.
Service was great. Food even greater. Fajitas are in the top 5 I've had. Molé sauce at $4.50 a side I thought was expensive but hey, everything else is well priced.
