“Nacho Bae has a special place in our hearts. So much so that we come from around an hour away just for the food, atmosphere, and amazing service. Muhammad and Arwa gave us exceptional service and frequently came buy to ensure everything was ok. Their energy and willingness to help was great! The food was fresh and tasted much better than anywhere I have been to. The store atmosphere was great as well. Nice music and nice decor. I’ll be coming again to nacho bae and this is one of the top 5 restaurants I have been to all thanks to the food and arwa and Muhammad!“

“Todo muy delicioso lo recomiendo llegar a comer todos los platillos“

“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)“

The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤“

“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!“

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

“Drinks and music is great“

“Nae was great she was professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Her attention to detail and genuine care for customers truly stood out. Highly recommend asking for Nae if you want outstanding service. Give that girl a raise!“

“The food was fantastic. The burrito, nachos, and kids meal have great value for your money. Along with the kids meal came chips. Although very crispy and fresh, they had a little bit too much salt. Apart from that, everything was fantastic from the service to the place it self. Highly recommend.“

“Great local Mexican food with authentic flavor and big portion sizes. We definitely ordered more than we expected.
We had quesabirria, assorted tacos, tres leches, and the watermelon mint agua fresh. The agua fresca is made fresh and was literally the most refreshing drink I ever had in my life.“

“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 🙂“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“Genesis recommended the ‘tacos placeros’ to me, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were incredible, and the place itself is beautiful. We’re on vacation and stumbled upon Tortas Lokas Elizabeth¡what a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and Karen went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Great food, amazing service, and a cozy vibe.
I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an authentic and welcoming experience!
Thank you guys!👍🏻“

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

“GREAT food GREAT staff. Whether you eat in or get it to go if you like Mexican food it's the place to go.“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“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).“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“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! :)“

“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Maize Cocina & Cocktails in Westfield, NJ — and let me tell you, if you love Mexican food and crave an elevated dining experience, this is the spot! 🌮✨

Everything was incredible, but my favorites were the maize croquettes, crabmeat tostadas, and the whole fish adobo — absolutely delicious. They’ve also added some exciting new dishes like the Tamarind Sticky Duck Breast and Pork Chop Amarillo that you’ll definitely want to try.

If you’re planning a visit, go between Thursday and Sunday — those are their action days! Trust me, if you’re looking for a great vibe and even better food, Maize is the place to be. 🍹🔥“

“Ordered steak tacos, sides of rice n beans, and the Mexican corn. All of it was delicious. The steak was a bit chewy but everything was well seasoned. The tacos came with a few potatoes, jalapeño, sautéed onions, radish and the typical toppings of cilantro and onion.
The tortillas looked and tasted fresh/homemade. The green and red sides of sauce were tasty and had a kick.
The rice and beans were perfect little sides and the beans were really good. I prefer the beans honestly over other restaurants ive had.
The mexican corn was one long stick, typically its cut into pieces but I loved it and it was a great. Would order it all again but skip the rice - the beans tho, get the beans, lol.“

“Recommend: tilapia tacos*, salsa verde, campenchanosGood: tamales, barbacoa tacosOk: chicken flautas, arabes tacos, lengua (tongue) tacos, tripa tacos*Probably would have been a 3 star rating if we didn't like the tilapia tacos so much. They were definitely the favorite. The fish was tender and nicely seasoned.The seasoning and cook on other things were a little hit or miss. Barbacoa had great taste but too salty, arabes were dry, lengua was disappointingly dry and bland. The salsa verde was used liberally to save many of the tacos.The flautas were nice and crispy but the chicken inside was dry.The tripe had some crunchy bits that some people might like but I found them tough.The campenchanos in the flour tortilla were also a bit salty but I liked how soft the tortilla was.The tamales had nice texture, but the cheese stick inside was strange for me.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“The tacos were amazing. Portions were generous and everything tasted authentic.“

“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“

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

“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 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“My coworkers and I ordered from this establishment for lunch and I asked them to rush it a bit because of our lunch time and they brought it right on time!!!! The person on the phone was sooo nice and underrated AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZINGG all expectations were met. They accomodated to all of our needs with specific food instructions really yummy and nice!“

“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.👍“

“First off food was amazing. I had the fajitas with Chicken and beef and me and my son ate it up so fast not only is the food good the service was great. They were very kind. I actually left my wallet there and my husband went to Get it the next day he told me the woman asked him so many Questions before giving up my wallet I appreciate The kindness of holding down my wallet I will definitely be coming back here Again“

“Me and a few of my coworkers went here tonight for the first time and they had Taco Tuesday and we all ordered Tacos and not only were they delicious they were full of well seasoned meat. The service was fast and friendly especially for how busy they were. We already decided we will be back again. Definitely the best Tacos I've had in Amboy and by far“

“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 tacos good flavor , deliciosos 😋“
