“This is the best Mexican food I've had in both New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. I usually travel a lot and frequently visit new places. This is a hidden gem in a small venue. Everything has excellent flavor, well seasoned, freshly made and the prices are unbeatable. Definitely a place to eat several times a week. I recommend them to anyone. A blessing to find such a place. Hoping that this place remains authentic and does not change. I got here thanks to a Review that said that this was Mexican food, not like the food trucks that are near the Mall. I totally agree with that comment.”

“Delicious and authentic food. I loved the top five tacos we chose on this occasion. We also decided on their signature taco, called Taco 84, which I highly recommend. It was rich and flavorful with its pickled onions, cheese, and chopped chorizo. We also ordered one called the Baja Fish Taco. The al pastor taco was juicy and delicious. Unlike many, it has marinated onions inside with cheese—simply a perfect combination of flavors. As soon as we arrived, we ordered guacamole served in a volcanic stone bowl, giving it a unique touch, along with pico de gallo and freshly made tortilla chips. Although this is a franchise, I want to say that the flavor of the food and the service from the people who served me at this location, especially Alicia, were exceptional. She's a true professional, and I wish her many blessings and prosperity. Everything about the food was perfect.”

“This evening for dinner we were going to have Toco Bell, but had to stop at CVS to pick up my medication nearby. In the parking lot I heard beautiful music with no singing just instrumentals. I asked my husband where is that music coming from, and he said from that little boy right there it looks like he’s playing with a violin to get some money. We only had a couple of dollars to get our dinner so I said why don’t we get our food and then whatever is left over we will give it to them. My husband agreed and we went to this Taco Bell. Prior to that I had taken a video of this child playing music who was accompanied by his mother who had a sign that read “please help we need money to pay for a motel, gas and food”. After we had ordered, we were waiting for food at the window and my husband had said I’m going to ask them if they can donate something for this mother and son. I said no don’t cause they might not give it to you and they’ll probably think it’s for us but then realized what would be the harm all they can do is just say no. So my husband asked as I pulled out my phone to show her the video she was listening to what my husband was saying, as I was attempting to show her the video she said, yeah yeah ok hold on. Let me ask my manager to see what we can do. She went into the back what felt like forever, but was probably only a few minutes she finally came back with a bag. THEY DID DONATED FOOD FOR THEM. We thanked her so very much. We kept thanking her and her manager for the help. I’m writing this to let people know how wonderfully awesome she and her manager were. You never know people’s circumstances, and she could’ve easily said no and if we wanted to you can order something else because I can’t give anything. But the fact that she and her manager helped this mother and son who by the way was all about 10 to 12 years of age blew me away. As we drove off, I was filled with a emotions and gratitude was definitely one of them. So again thank you to her and her manager who in the moment I had forgotten to get their names for giving food to this family. It takes a village to help people out 1000 percent and those two were definitely apart of that village. BLESS THEM BOTH! And that mother to that child was so grateful that she kept blowing me kisses and sending me hugs. THANK YOU TWO ONCE AGAIN FOR HELPING NOT ONLY THEM BUT US TOO BECAUSE IT BROKE OUR HEARTS WE COULDN'T MORE FOR THEM????”
