“Excellent service, great house Margarita (only $5 during happy hour!) beautifully presented food - and they had vegetarian and vegan options - mine was delicious vegan chorizo enchiladas. Colorful and fun atmosphere.“

“Love the Pan Detroit Style Pizza never disappoints. Also tried the Vodka Sauce pie and the sauce is delicious to go along with a great pie.“

“Amazing food and service. The regular rice and beans are a standout. The food tastes fresh, I've eaten there thrice this week and the quality is consistently good. I can't think of a mexican place in the area that stands up to it. A welcome edition to the town“

“Great Christmas decorations. Attentive service, generous portions, and great food. For lunch we ordered Shrimp tacos (4) and beef burrito which came with a side out rice and beans. All arrived hot and had a delicious Verde sauce. Only thing is change is have a bar with margaritas!!!“

“I have to say this restaurant was absolutely delicious!! So glad we tried the only Mexican Michelin star in New York!!!

We went here for our anniversary and were very pleased! Our reservation was for 9 and our table was ready exactly at that time.  Service was fantastic! Our waiter was really friendly and very knowledgeable about all the food items.  He answered all of our questions about flavors and portion sizes quite thoroughly which made our decisions easy!

Their tequila and mezcal varieties were very extensive and they had great cocktail options as well! For appetizers we decided to choose the smoked mangoes, tuna tostada, and the punta verde caesar.  All were so tasty and had such amazing flavor, we even ordered another tuna tostada!!  I would say we felt the mangoes were more of a snack/dessert and not an app but we were not mad about it at all because the smokiness they were able to get into the mangoes was amazing!

For the main course we went with the lamb and swordfish tacos (it comes with 2 each).  They are average sized, nothing too big or small especially since we ordered so many appetizers between the two of us!!  Both dishes were so flavorful!! I would highly recommend trying everything you have room for since the choices we made were bursting with so much flavor!

We chose the Oaxacan chocolate cake and the tres leches for dessert.  The cake and ice cream had a strong espresso flavor, maybe because I don't drink any coffee/espresso at all but it was still very tasty.

Overall this was a very affordable Michelin Star restaurant and we were extremely pleased with every aspect of our dining experience.  We would absolutely return to try more menu items and highly recommend paying them a visit if you are a fan of big, bold flavors!!

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“Such a friendly place with great food. Everything was delicious except I was confused by the taste of the mild salsa negra until I was told it was Vegennaise based. More of a salad dressing than a salsa. And we shared the coconut leche pie. Definitely try it if you have room for dessert.“

Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Fortaleza, and a huge part of that was thanks to Karen, our server. She was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect, and her friendly, accommodating nature made us feel so welcomed. Karen anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and her service was flawless. It’s clear she truly cares about her guests’ experience. I highly recommend dining here and hope to be served by her again! Visit Karen!!! At Fortaleza Garfield NJ“
