“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.“

“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.“

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!“

“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“

“We received an advertisement with a coupon in the mail today and this place looked right up my alley. Having grown up in California, I am always on the hunt for really good Mexican food. I ordered dinner for my wife and I and it was great. The carnitas were excellent and the guacamole was great. The only thing I wish they had on their menu was Chile Verde as I can’t seem to find it on the East Coast. I will definitely be back soon as their takeout was hot and fresh. I’m glad to have found this place.“

“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 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

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

“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).“

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

“Good tacos good flavor , deliciosos 😋“

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

“👎👍👍👍👎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“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 👍🏽“

“We had a really long wait for food however other than that we are extremely happy.

Huge portion sizes, lots of meat, absolutely delicious, really authentic food. 100% would recommend this place.

Sorry we didn't get any pics we just went straight into eating 😂 next time we'll try to remember to take pics before.“

“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“

“Tried El Buen Sabor Poblano in North Brunswick and had a great experience. We ordered the grilled pork plate with rice, beans, salad, and avocado, plus enchiladas with green salsa. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the portions were very generous. The pork was flavorful with a nice char, and the green sauce on the enchiladas had the perfect tangy kick. Chips and salsa were also a great start to the meal. Definitely a great spot for authentic Mexican food in the area!“

“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!“
