HORRIBLE ! Guess this is a side hustle because they also run a telemarketer company that harasses me and other ppl on the daily!

We called the order in for pick up as I wanted it hot. I have been to this restaurant before and thought the food was delicious. We were told we would receive a call right before the food was ready as I live close. They quoted a price. After almost an hour passed I called and was told my order had been sitting there. I get there and some of the food was hot so I brought it home after paying a different amount than we were told. Get home to find all the food for the adults was cold. Empanadas order were wrong. Only thing hot was kids food. The food was also bland and tasteless and they did not include the additional sauces as requested and probably charged for. I am very upset and won't be ordering from them again.

Best tacos I've had!! They were so good that I was thinking about them for days after? Definitely going back here!! The atmosphere was nice and the service was friendly. Also, the horchata is the best I've ever had!

The decor in this place is unmatched. The food however is eh. The chips were so hard, we could barely eat them. Meanwhile chips and dip are usually my go to. The rest of the food wasn't terrible but I can't seem to figure out why the ratings are so high. If u live in the Bloomfield area, ratings are misleading.

Loved the futbol game playing in the background, how homey it felt to eat there. Split birria tacos and tacos dorados with a date. Both were amazing, even dipping the tacos dorados into the birria consume. The horchata was okay. But the space was perfect for a cute calm date. Would definitely go back.

Amazing!! The food here is incredible, very flavorful and feels really homemade. Don't let yourself be fooled by this restaurant being empty sometimes, it will blow you away, guaranteed!

This place was absolutely beautiful if you're looking for a scenic restaurant. The food was cooked thoroughly, well seasoned, and lacking nothing. I tried a tamale for the first time, and I liked it. It's a great place to go with a group because they willingly split your bill by person, so there's no hackle at the end of dinner. They are worth 5 stars.Kid-friendliness: They do have high seats for children and a kids' menu.

This food is absolutely disgusting. I did not enjoy my meal at all and could not finish it due to the bland and RIDICULOUSLY OILY taco shells, "steak" meat that was stale/horrible, and rice & beans that also had zero flavor. Considering the other great Latin restaurants in the area, I decided to give this place a try too, and I 1000% regret it. My stomach got upset immediately after the few bites I had and stayed that way for the rest of the night. The food is just gross and sickening; ORDER ELSEWHERE!!!!

This seems to be quite an authentic Mexican Resturant. It is family run, welcoming and colorful. There is a pretty and lighted garden area outback too. The enchiladas, fajitas, nachos and horchata were quite tasty. They also made us virgin margaritas in a pitcher. Really laid back easy place to be. I will go back.Vegetarian options: Street corn , Mole, nachos enchiladas,rice and black beans

Only tried takeout so far, but serving sizes were huge! I ordered the carne asada and it was seasoned deliciously. You could take the smokeyness from the grill. Decor was great and Peking was easy. I would come back for a sit down meal for sure.
