It always lasts me two full meals because the portion size is really generous. Everyone there is also so nice and welcoming so I love coming here and will definitely be back.“

“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!“

“delicious!! so good.Birria and empanada are best ever had.“

“I love this place they are so delicious but I had a painful experience when the churro filling got onto my hands now they are very red but it’s ok they were really good. I would definitely get the churros again but maybe use a fork to eat them so they don’t burn my hands.

I also feel like the music is too loud. I don’t have sensory issues, but the volume of that music is making me rethink some things.

Keep up the great work hobrah’s. I’ll be back for my churros with a fork next time.

(As you can see the food was so good I took it to go, but my fingers are red from the burn)“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“We're local business owners in Springfield, NJ and just discovered Tierra Del Sol as a wonderful spot for lunch!

Friendly greeting when we walked in, quick table service and the food is fresh and very flavorful! We each had Quesadilla's de Carne Asada (Steak) - and the serving sizes were big, we each only ate half and too the rest home.

We will most definitely be back soon!“

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

“Hands down, one of the best restaurants in the area. Luis and his team serve some of the most delicious Tex-Mex around—and they go above and beyond by giving back to the community. Edison Tex-Mex has proudly sponsored our annual Toy Run for two consecutive years, and thanks to their generous support, we were able to help raise over $20,000 for the Somerset County Food Bank.“

“Drinks and music is great“

“recently ordered catering from District Taco - Clark, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and a big hit with everyone. They also included all the supplies we needed, which made setup easy and stress-free.

On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The staff member who helped me over the phone was friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the ordering process.

Overall, fantastic food and excellent service — I would definitely order from them again and highly recommend their catering!“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“I live in the area and love trying out local restaurants, Taquerua La Casita did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, wel lit and busy. Its a small place, but small places tend to be masters of their craft. I got two orders of tacos, tacos al pastor and tacos de costilla (recommended by the employee working he counter). Both were great, fresh and bold flavors. The pastor came with a slice of pineapple on top which was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the Verde sauce that came with the order. I will definitely return in the future. Thanks for the awesome food. I want to try every item on the menu 🙂“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“I recommend QDOBA on rt 1 Edison 100%. they are friendly, accommodating and way cleaner than Chipotle. I made a mistake ordering and they immediately made a new one with no questions asked. They are continuously making fresh food for their costumers. I am always satisfied with my experience there.👍“

“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).“

“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.“

“f you’re craving bold flavor and a vibrant atmosphere, Maize Cocina & Cocktails absolutely delivers. From the beautifully plated dishes to the handcrafted cocktails, every detail feels intentional and elevated. The menu offers a modern twist on traditional Latin cuisine, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients that make each bite memorable.

The ambiance strikes the perfect balance—energetic yet intimate—making it ideal for date night, brunch with friends, or a celebratory dinner. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, enhancing the overall experience.

Maize isn’t just a meal—it’s a vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great food, strong cocktails, and even better energy.“

“amazing atmosphere! love the staff! The staff memorized my go to everytime im there & has it prepped within minutes. They go out their way to form connections with the guests to ensure everything is perfect. Tacoria will always be my go to! :)“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good place to go great food“

“I haven’t had Qdoba in so long so when I walked in, I was indecisive on what I should get. Lily was so sweet and patient. She allowed me to taste test two of the items that I was thinking about ordering so I can get the best one I liked. Also Maritza and Gabe was very patient and helpful too! They were all kind, very approachable, and very friendly. This customer service that I received today from this crew at the this location couldn’t go unnoticed! Give them all raises, I love that they love to make their customers happy. THANK YOU Lily, Maritza, and Gabe! You matter, keep up with the AMAZING customer service!“

“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!!“

“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! 🎂✨🤍“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

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

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“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 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!“

“It is hard to find a Mexican restaurant with a real Mexican flavor. I was surprised but food was delicious and that Tamarindo margarita was yummy. Service was excellent!
Oh btw the tres leches cake was so good and very moist 10 of a 10.“
