I've been here 4 times in two weeks. I haven't ventured from the tacos yet but they're so good I'm really having a hard time getting something else. I highly recommend the al pastor tacos. Delicious.

I thought I had found my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant until I found this gem! Being married to a Mexican immigrant we may be a bit of Mexican food snobs but this place has exceeded all expectations! Staff is friendly, it’s a great atmosphere but the food…THE FOOD!! Amazing! Robust menu, fair prices and holy smokes they have tons of options! I never order desserts when I eat out but I have tried their churros, tres leches, flan and tiramisu in just two visits! All are amazing but I’m a sucker for tres leches and it does sell out so get there early on weekends! Additionally, we got the churros as take out and they were still crispy and not soggy even after the ride home.Don’t be afraid to deviate from the typical Tex-mex of tacos and enchiladas, their tortas and chimichanga is awesome!Horchata is homemade and not made from that powder or concentrate which pairs so nicely with the mild spice of their green salsa.Sadly we scarfed down our food too fast to have pics of it all but I’ll attach what I have. Can’t wait to go back!

My mother and I ate a late dinner here but everything was delicious! We ordered the Pico and it was SO fresh! The chips were also very good, not oily. I ordered the Enchiladas with chicken in Verde sauce. The chicken was shredded and not dry at all, the Verde sauce was excellent. My mother ordered the taco platter, two shrimp (grilled) and a veggie. It was all so fresh and flavorful. The rice was good, a little on the dry side but still good. This isn't like a sit down place, you order at the counter and they bring you the food. It really is very delicious and I can't wait to go back to try their desserts!

I had ordered the Enchiladas and the Taco Salad Bowl through DoorDash. The enchiladas were soggy, bland with not an ounce of flavor or even salt. The tortillas for it werent even cooked and the shredded chicken on the inside might as well have been seasoned with just water. Every single thing in the taco bowl was so bland and flavorless that it might be nauseous. The cheese had more flavor than the meat and rice. For a drink I had a mango Aguas Frescas / Water Fresca. Worst mistake of my life. They couldn't even bother using a ripe mango so it was just bitter water. The Funnel cake looks exactly like the picture and was the only good thing. The Papaya Milkshake was another disappointment. It's so confusing to me that this place is highly rated and so expensive when the flavor in ANYTHING is nonexistent.

Always looking for a good Mexican food restaurant. Empamadas were 10 out of 10. Fajitas had great flavor but I did not care for the cut of chicken they used. Chips and dip were great. I don't think the intent is to have eat in as the table and chairs were not restaurant quality.

A nice little out of the way restaurant. A few tables but I always order to go. Delicious Mexican food.

The location is alright, and the ambiance and decor are nice – it’s more of a casual, sit down restaurantThe carne asadas street tacos with cilantro and onions are good and the chips with black beans and cheese are goodIt was relatively quiet in the restaurant, and the one in the front end of the restaurant taking orders and serving was nice and pleasantOverall, it was a good Mexican restaurantVegetarian options: Many things on the menu can be made vegetarianParking: There’s a small parking lot shared with adjacent businesses and restaurants

Was the food good? I inhaled an entire full takeout box of loaded up shrimp quesadillas like my life depended on it, guzzled down two pounds of horchata, and still made room for a vanilla slice of tres leches cake. This is my favorite Mexican spot in Cherry Hill, and honestly one of my favorites in South Jersey.On top of that, the people who worked there were so sweet and nice!! I will come back every time I have the chance.
