The BEST frozen Margaritas in All Hudson County, hands DOWN!!!! Been coming here for YEARS!!
A delicious Mexican restaurant on the main street of Hoboken, NJ. The steak fajitas are highly recommended, and the quesadillas are also very tasty. The atmosphere is good, although the large TV screens make it a little less cozy, but that's almost normal in the US. The restaurant is full every day. Our apartment was three houses down the street.

The East LA Mexican eatery, located off a main street, offers a bustling and lively atmosphere perfect for starting the night. With around 10 tables, the restaurant can get quite crowded, especially on Friday nights, when customers may experience a wait time of up to 30 minutes. The food includes dishes such as chicken fajitas, flautas, quesadillas, and enchiladas, which some reviews highlight as looking delicious, although there are suggestions for improvement in the dryness of the flautas and the lack of sauce in the enchiladas. The complimentary chips, salsa, pico, guacamole, and sour cream are a hit with diners, who appreciate the classic experience of receiving chips and salsa immediately upon sitting down. The margaritas, particularly the passion fruit margarita on the rocks, are strong and tasty, although some may prefer a less sweet version. The service is noted as outstanding, with some waitstaff, like Margaret, being very attentive and kind, ensuring that customers are never left waiting. Overall, East LA provides a fun and laid-back experience, making it a favorite spot for local families and friends.
