“This Chipotle location used to be the worst.But I started ordering here again over the past few months, and I gotta say that I've seen a big improvement in service and food quality. I've mostly been ordering pickup, but every time the food quality has been great, and the service is fast.“
“This was my first time eating here! I’ve always passed by it while driving but never made it in. Firstly, the ambiance felt like you were home. I came here early afternoon so the wait times were literally 0. Our waitress, Alejandra was amazing! Super friendly environment. The food was also amazing. Better than i expected it would be. Definitely coming back.“
“Overall satisfied with the service that I had received. There’s an unlimited amount of food options on the menu & I must say I love them all. If you are in the area & in the mood for traditional Mexican cuisines then this is the right place for you! Enjoy!“
“First time visit, I have to say this is now my favorite place to eat in rahway. Variety of tacos stuffed generously.Tasty. Salsa also very good served with chips. The cubano sandwich with steak, ham, chorizo, chicken, beans LTO on a roll was fantastic and filling served with skinny seasoned fries. Fajitas mixta was seasoned well and very tasty. Not a hint of pretension surrounds this place. A place to eat good food at a very fair price“
“Run don't walk to La Hacienda Restaurant.It's a small place, but big on flavor and excellent service.Complimentary fresh made chips with 4 different salsas were brought out as we were greeted by our sever. We started with Guacamole con Tostones, the guacamole was creamy and delicious Tostones crispy and still soft in the center. Presentation was awesome, see photos. We also shared a flaky beef empanada that was simple but so good.For dinner I had Beef Birria Tacos and my wife ordered a Beef Birria Bowl with rice and beans. Both of these were to die for. Excellent flavor and generous portions.I wanted to try the tres leches that looked so moist in the counter window but I didn't save any room.We're already planning our next trip back to try the other delicious choices on their menu, and I'm going to try and save room for dessert.“
“This local spot has delicious food, friendly service, and is very accommodating to a family. We've never been disappointed and always had a great time. Very reliable go to restaurant on weekdays and weekends, and now they're open for lunch. Just writing this review makes me want to go as soon as they open.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating of children. Always willing to bring our son's food out first. So friendly!“
“Great desserts! We picked up two slices of tres leches, flan, and a concha. The concha was nothing to rave about, but the tres leches and flan were delightful. The tres leches was completely soaked in its milks, refreshing and rich at the same time. the flan had the right texture and flavor, not overly sweet.“
“I recently dined at this fantastic restaurant and had the pleasure of savoring their grilled chicken quesadilla. The flavors were exquisite, and the chicken was perfectly grilled. The friendly service added to the overall delightful experience. Highly recommend!“
“We went here with a friend. The kitchen was a bit loud like someone was banging pots. Decor is pretty sparse, we were the only people there on a Saturday evening. The tacos are good, don't expect any sort of side like beans or rice. Everything on the menu is less than $15 so expect the experience to line up accordingly.“
“Even if the restaurant looks a bit unusual from the outside right next to the laundromat: don't miss out on a visit! Super friendly, attentive service and absolutely delicious, freshly prepared food! Absolute recommendation! we'd love to come back! Thanks!“

“If authentic Mexican tacos is your thing, this place is where to go! Not only were their tacos big in size, delicious and flavorful, but they had 9 different types of sauces to sample with your chips before your meal. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed. Oh and don’t forget to order their fresh guacamole!“
“The atmosphere is beautiful and the decor was lovely. The food was delicious. I ordered the red snapper and my friend ordered the steak. The steak was relatively small I would say that’s the only negative my friend had to say. The snapper was flavorful. We ordered the guacamole as the appetizer which was delicious. For dessert we had the handmade ice cream hibiscus raspberry, mango and Maria cookie all were very good. We also ordered a cocktail each and they were tasty as well. I ordered a cappuccino towards the end of the meal and no complaints there. I would definitely recommend for a casual lunch or dinner. Will be coming back for sure :)Parking: There is a parking lot towards the back past the restaurant and the restaurant will validate your ticket once your done“

“Me and my friends went for all day happy hour brunch and Serenity was AMAZING. She took care of us so well, she made sure we were fed great and the food and drinks were amazing, me and my friends came for “2 drinks” and left after shots and way too many drinks. Everytime we needed Serenity she came to us. She was great and we will be coming back for her!!!!!“
“These are by far the best and most authentic Mexican tacos I’ve had in the state of New Jersey. For someone who has regularly gone to some of the “best rated” Taco places in the state, This locations Al pastor tacos with cheese are some of the best tacos I’ve ever eaten. A true hidden gem in Roselle Park.“
“I love this place! The waitresses are so cute and friendly and try their best if they aren't fluent in English. They have deals on food and drinks on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Drinks are potent but tasty. The beef empanadas are yummy. I also recommend any of the “
“I tried their birria tacos when they first opened (1-2 years ago), and they were good but I remember the tacos were on the smaller side compared to others I've had (e.g. Chofi in Union). Granted, they were a new restaurant and I assumed still working out some kinks. In all honesty, I ended up forgetting about this restaurant. I just ordered through Uber eats today, and the tacos were bigger than last time, tasted amazing, and delivered hot. Flavor was on point for the tacos, consome, and green salsa. Happy to add The Birria Kitchen in my rotation of local restaurants!“
“We went last week, based on these reviews, as I have been wanting Mexican food but a little different from the usual. This was it! Quite good, charming hostess/owner. Really loved the "sopes" which was an oblong open-faced tortilla dish with fillings.Parking: Was able to park on street right in front.“

“First, welcome to this New Mexican Restaurant located at 704 Jersey Ave Elizabeth 07202, second, I want to say that I have been to more than 15 Mexican restaurants and with all the respect they deserve. I love this one specifically. For the quality of the food, the texture, the great service, the good attention. The food is fresh and the amount they put is an excessively large amount. Congratulations, great job. I will always be back. I like that there are all kinds of traditional Mexican drinks.“
“This place is a gem in HP, quaint and charming, hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The Tacos al Pastor was especially memorable. Must try!!“
“Our server, Eric, was the absolute best. He steered us the right directions on drinks (all of ours were amazing-- if you're a Mezcal fan, try the smoky marg), was perfectly attentive in checking in on us, and fun to chat with. The food was hot and came out fast despite the restaurant being packed. This is my second time at Tio's, and I'll certainly be back in the future.Vegetarian options: There are several all veggie options that are delicious!Parking: If it's busy, it can be tricky to find parking. I just "bit the bullet" and parked in the lot across the street because I don't mind walking, but those with mobility restrictions might be limited//have to be patient waiting for a spot to open up.“
“What a great restaurant! We found it by chance and it’s like a little jewelry box filled with good authentic atmosphere, delicious food and amazing music. Señora Alma, the owner treated us as the family, the tacos were tasty. They also have some Oaxaca souvenirs and pottery for sale, the ambience is welcoming and warm.I will definitely be back for more. And did I mention they have parking lot next door for their customers.“
“Strolling through town a wanted a little snack to go with my healthy smoothie from earlier. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a cheerful guy. After checking out the menu, I asked him what his favorites were and he made all the tacos sound so delicious. I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“
“Food was 10 out of 10 all aboard. I came with 3 friends and my picky little son. He ate so you know it's good. The live music was just too loud to have a conversation, especially when you combine that with the other people trying to talk over the music.“
“I recently order takeout and was blown away by the amazing food, generous portions, and top-notch customer service. Every dish was bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection, leaving me fully satisfied. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience.

“Visited with a friend during happy hour (4p - 7p bar only). Instead of the bar, we sat at a booth. Personally, I ordered a non-alcoholic mango mojito which was pretty good and the 7 layer dip burrito (added shrimp). It was good and filling! I ate one half and took the rest home. My friend had the Mexican street corn which she said was spicy and the chipotle lime cauliflower tacos which were also good! The plates were left empty! I would come back to really experience the happy hour at the bar and even later in the night with music. The service was also great and accommodating!“
“Been 10 years since I have been here last, but it's still good ol' Tejas. The margaritas still taste great and the chicken Bandera is fantastic. It's nothing fancy on the inside, but I think that's why I like the decor. Staff has always been attentive. I can't wait to go back again.“
“If you’re looking for savory food this is is the place. Had to try the menu and it’s been 3 times already jajaja. The tacos are loaded, great prices, the atmosphere is quiet and chill, and the natural juices are great as well. If you’re in the area definitely a must try.“
“My friend and I got together for some good Mexican food. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted by the host/server and sat. It was a dimly lit restaurant. I started with the red sangria, and that was tasty. I was a little disappointed because they had no red wine for my next drink, so stuck with the sangria. For my appetizer, I got the camarones scampi, but it was a garlic shrimp, and it was tasty. My friend had the fiesta platter and I tried it and it was good. We then had the shrimp tacos, which were delicious! For my meal, I got the red snapper, and my friend had the garlic shrimp dish. I really enjoyed the red snapper, and my friend enjoyed the shrimp. We then had the dulce de leche cheesecake, which was good. We really had a good experience!“
“These are the BEST quesabirria tacos I have EVER had! They taste like home ?? tacos come with cheese and a very delicious consume. It was not too salty nor too watery, but a perfect consistency. The carne was seasoned to perfection, and it was a nice amount. They were not cheap with the portions! You get 3 nice big tacos.This is definitely a Hidden Gem in the East Coast ! Restaurant is extremely clean and staff is really friendly. You have to give them a try!“
“This place is so cute! The decore is great and the lit up corner its on definitely catches your attention. The food...oh the food is delicious! We did take out once and had to go to the restaurant and check it out. We were not disappointed! Family favorite is the burritos! Definitely recommend for dine in or take out.Parking: Parking is limited in the back of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: My kid ate the food and he's a super picky eater.“

“I've tried hundreds of Mexican spots all over the country. Im from NJ... been to mexico 5 times. This is literally my favorite spot that I have tried in the states. The owner cares so much and makes everything "home made". Try it and see for yourself.“
“Love the service and food! Our son is a New Mexican food fan so we will be back!! There was a live musician there. He started at 7pm and was a bit loud for us - I’m sure the volume was better in the dining room as opposed to the bar dining where we were. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: Nice kids menu and the server was really great with our son! Made it a memorable experience!“
“When it comes to Mexican cuisine, this is the spot where you should spend your money. Small location but suitable for a party of 4. I mean, you just have to make a stop and try for yourself. The price is also great for the food you're getting. Try it out.“
“I was surprised by how good the food was. I got a burrito bowl with carne and it was fantastic. The meat was tender and savory, and the combination of flavors left me wanting more. The atmosphere was really nice and casual. The dining area was semi outdoors with a sliding roof that they will open/close depending on the weather. I'll definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone dining in this area.“
“Really tasty place in Watchung! The free chips and salsa are always so tasty. The ground beef nachos are amazing, huge portions as well. The scallops in the white sea dish are also really good. Very cozy place, plus the service is really great.“

He made me feel at home and I will definitely be stopping by all the time on my way home from work!!! Thank you again soo much to all the employees who worked and smiled constantly, the atmosphere is amazing!!“
“When I say everything was top notch. I got the fried pickles 10 out of 10, the street corn also a 10 out of 10.To add to my madness I got the shrimp and jerk chicken fajitas. Babbyyyyyyyyy I was so surprised at how it came out. My food came out sizzling and I love it. The toppings were so fresh and so on point.

The Enchiladas en Salsa and Tacos de Birria are both excellent! The meat was plentiful and tender. We selected Beef for the tacos. All of the sauces were just right, and the packaging was very nice. Right down to the lime wedges, everything so fresh ! We all enjoyed this meal so much and will be ordering again for sure!“
