“¡¡Qué delicia de lugar !! , excelente ambiente y atención.“

“My family attended the Easter celebration. We had a blast.“

“Tried Nacho Bae for the first time and honestly it was great. The food came out quick, portions were solid, and everything tasted fresh. I got the loaded nachos and they were packed with toppings, not just a bunch of chips at the bottom. The staff was really friendly too and made the whole experience easy.

Definitely one of the better spots around New Brunswick when you’re craving something casual and filling. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu.“

“What a phenomenal experience! Just two men handling the counter, and they handled it AMAZING!! From the food, to the customer service, everything was wonderful. I’d highly recommend this Qdoba to anyone. My wife and I live in Woodbridge and stopped ordering Qdoba from the Iselin location because it’s so bad! This place has officially brought us back to being loyal Qdoba customers!“

“Good food. Chuck is great“

“gracias por una buena atención la comida 10 de 10 siempre que boy me si ento bien consentida 😍😍🥰🥰 excelente servicio lo recomiendo 👌 al 100% bendiciones a todos“

“It’s seems to be slacking. The ladies restroom has no trash bin in the general area. They had toilet paper on the ground today. Most days it’s clean but not today. I do see young employees talking amongst themselves while working. Which is not a problem. But when the tables, trash buns and utensils and fresh drinks need to be refilled to refreshed. It’s a problem.“

“Alyssa our server was very attentive We had an Awesome experience! The drinks were out fast and our food was Great!“

“I don’t want to say what I ordered because I don’t want to set expectations for others… but I will say it was the best I have ever had, including california and south america. Food took a bit of time, but I knew from smelling the food when we arrived that it was going to be good. What made it so great was the flavor of the meat. I am so happy we found this place. Coming back often!“

“I love this place. I’ve been coming here for a few years now. Every time I come here I have to get 5 chorizo tacos. They’re just the best. This place has made every other taco spot in the area useless, as nothing compares to the flavor and portions here.

The staff is always incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is very clean and welcoming.“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican tacos in the area! I've tried a few taco places within 10 minutes of here but this place is the best. Always get my Al Pastor tacos from here. Love the green sauce they provide. Super easy to place an order for pickup over the phone. Very reasonable prices compared to other taco restaurants.“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“Drinks and music is great“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

“Dinner was delicious! The food came quickly and the kids were thrilled with their quesadillas. Guacamole was good. Chicken enchiladas verdes was great. Service was pleasant and attentive. If we lived in New Jersey we’d go back for sure!“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“We love this place, the owner is so nice, it’s so clean inside & the food is fresh & delicious !! 10/10“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“It’s funny that some of the reviews here complain about servers not speaking English...it’s an actual authentic Mexican restaurant what do you expect? The menus are in both English and Spanish and have descriptions if you are not familiar with Mexican food. I love this place and you really can’t beat the prices. The food is great and I always wind up taking some home (maybe because I fill up on all the chips and salsa they give before the meal).“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Every single dish was amazing and packed with flavor! There are so many fun appetizers to choose from and a variety of tasty entrees as well. So many dishes have a creative twist and that's what makes this place so unique and exciting to try. I'm still thinking about those crispy chicken bao buns. We'll definitely be back“

“Sooo good! Better than chipotle and qdoba. It is around the same price as the other restraints mentioned. Very flavorful meat. Honestly, I was very surprised of how good this was. They gave good portions as well. The only negative thing is that it took them so long to make the order and we were like the only people there… but other than that I loved it. I wish they open a location closer to me!!“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“Phenomenal Tacos! I bet everything else is equally delicious but I love these tacos!!“

“fresh food, good portions, and everything actually got flavor. The chicken was seasoned perfect, queso was great, and the bowl was made exactly how I wanted it. The Staff, Chantel was awesome and fast too. Definitely one of my favorite spots“

“Good place to go great food“

“I recently hosted my birthday dinner at Casa del Rey for a group of 20, and it was absolutely wonderful! The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, from allowing us to decorate a beautiful table setup to their gracious hospitality and attention to detail. Everyone was so kind, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious, the service was seamless, and the atmosphere made it feel like such a joyful celebration. I’m so grateful to the entire team for making the night unforgettable. Highly recommend Casa del Rey for any special occasion, they truly know how to make you feel celebrated! 🎂✨🤍“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We eat here almost every day. The food is always made to order so it does take a few miinutes. The food is delicious, I have never had anything I did not enjoy. Mr. C is always making sure we are happy with what he has prepared for us. Sometimes he will add his own little touch once he gets to know you and what you like. He will make great suggestions if you are not sure what you would like. The girls at the counter are great! This is a small hidden gem!“

“Upon answering I was greeted and seated. The appetizers which were the nacho chips tasted freshly made and the chicken and steak tacos were delicious. I also had the Elote corn which was so good comes with three.. and I love the piña colada but I had it without alcohol.. they do have an open bar. Def would go back.“

“So I found this restaurant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and wanted to try their $1 tacos and empanadas Tuesday special I payed $8 in total but they missed a taco which is ok because I understand the are busy! Overall the empanadas were good the tacos were underwhelming with flavor (all the flavors) but service was fast and good, and it’s a $1.00 but I’ve had better flavorful tacos for a $1.00 somewhere else, but it’s ok 👍🏽“

“I've been here 3 times in the last 5 days. I got birria tacos two days in a row. I also explored other menu options and ate the carnitas tacos too. Overall fantastic place, food is fantastic, staff are great and vibes are there. I have a gluten allergy and the staff were very accommodating, I never had any sort of reaction.“

“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. I highly recommend – it’s definitely worth a visit!“
