Very good Mexican spot, only thing that reminds me of classic Tex Mex places in the south. Great street tacos I want to try the enchiladas next time. Really tasty Jamaica agua fresca as well definitely worth getting. My girlfriend gets the carnitas burrito and in spite of it being her favorite in the area still doesn't scratch her burrito itch quite right. Great prices worth checking out!

Stuffed to the brim with mostly rice, not much meat. Nice sized though and plenty flavorful.

Jersey City, NJ // This place has been open for years but I just recently stumbled upon it. Husband and I even googled the address and never knew it was along a major JC street that we frequent.

The carne asada fries was amazeballs.

Tip: Ask for extra crema.
Location: it's right across Dairy Queen

This is a local, no frills restaurant for authentic Mexican cuisine.

It was pretty empty on a Saturday around 3pm. The decor inside is not much and the floor and salsa bottles could have been cleaner, but the service was great. They have an extensive menu with all the popular options you'd expect. We noticed that the employees were also eating dishes from the restaurant on their breaks which is a good sign that they truly enjoy the food.

To start, I ordered the fried mushroom quesadilla. The menu listed this dish for $3.75, which is a great price, but they charged us $4.25, maybe because we got the fried version. However, the menu didn't specify there would be an upcharge. Despite this issue, the quesadilla was delicious. The fried dough was crispy and ever so slightly sweet. The cheese and lettuce on top were nice complements.

For my main, I had the enchiladas. I swapped the chicken for potatoes since I'm vegetarian. It was a very generous portion size and I couldn't finish it all. It came with refried beans, rice, lettuce, and tomatoes. The beans were a bit cold. I did not care for the mole sauce on the enchiladas but I think it was a very traditional preparation so it's a great dish for those who enjoy the distinct flavor.

My boyfriend ordered the chicken torta and chicken burrito and said both were awesome. The burrito was quite large and he ended up taking half of it home.

For the table, they provide green and red salsa. Neither were spicy, but they do offer a hot sauce that you can pay extra for.

Overall, worth a try to support a local, small business!

I've seen this one specific location change into a million different restaurants. This is one that I genuinely hope that sticks around. I used to drive downtown to taqueria all the time for my taco fix, but this place gives you more bang for your buck.

The tacos are much bigger and I find that they have more flavor. Their menu has an overwhelming amount of options, but the tacos and carne asada fries are so worth it. Their quesadillas aren't made with the flat tortillas like every other place and I think even their plain quesadilla is fine without any dipping sauce.

Also, BYOB.

I subtracted one star because they're closed on taco tuesday.

Stumbled upon this little restaurant the other day. Ordered some guacamole & chips, a few tacos, and corn. Everything tasted good, and the prices were great for a sit down restaurant. Though nothing I would travel more than 10 minutes for, it's a decent neighborhood spot when craving Mexican.

We took a long walk here on a cold but sunny Saturday afternoon. The place was empty except for a couple pick up orders. Clean and colorful paint, few tables and chairs, spacious and looks like can hold up to 30 people.

We ordered the chicken soup, corn and tacos. Food came out quickly. Soup was large and well made, enough for one meal. Tacos were just ok, meat was a dry, sort of re-fried. Corn was also ok.

Service was quick and lady taking the orders was accommodating. Good spot for your Mexican food hit. Support local.

Menu was a little tough to coordinate on Grubhub and Yelp they had things that were missing on the app
Elote was delicious, torta was good too!

This place has been a go-to to for some authentic Mexican. I've ordered takeout a bunch now and dined in a few times before covid. Haven't had a complaint yet and even with delivery, the quality was still just as good as dining in.

Things to definitely get:
- Any of the tacos really. I've tried the steak, barbacoa, chorizo, and pollo de milanesa (breaded chicken cutlet) and they're all delicious. Most come with just the meat, onions, and cilantro so I always add on some cheese or rice
- Choripapas aka chorizo fries is one of my boyfriend's favorites and definitely more than enough to share between 2 people

The only thing I've tried that I wasn't a big fan of was the chicken enchiladas. The chicken lacked a lot of flavor but had a decent amount of verdes sauce.

Service is always prompt and those working here are very kind. Great value for delicious food. Definitely recommend when you need your taco fix in this area and don't wanna go downtown!

Got a tamale verde and an horchata. The tamale was packaged well and suitable for eating on the go. The sauce was tasty and the pork was tender and flavorful. The masa was fragrant and had a good texture. The horchata was rich, lightly spiced, and the right amount of sweetness.
