After our night of getting smashed we got cut off, and manager even gave us a ride to the hotel across the street. so thanks again for taking the time to truly care about your patrons....“

“The absolutely most fresh delicious Mexican food you ever eat in South Jersey do not let the location in the building for you going in there. You gonna feel like you are in Mexico eating real authentic Mexican food highly recommend that I love this place.“

“This is an authentic as you can get in this area… this isn’t your typical sit down restaurant though. The finest Mexican, and indeed some of the finest tasting food I’ve ever had. Been going for years. They have Prepared hot bar of 2 or 3 choices of meat or sometimes eggs in different sauces, and the plater comes with rice, beans, and tortillas.
Otherwise you can order anything off the menu. The Tortas are particularly good if you order, however it is usually hard to pass up what they are serving.“

“This little convenience store looks like it was airlifted straight out of Mexico and dropped here sometime in the 90s. The floor tiles haven't aged a day, the fridges buzz like mariachi instruments, and some of the canned goods look like they've been patiently waiting for a buyer since the Clinton years.

The shelves are a mix of absolute gems and complete mysteries: sodas in glass bottles colder than an ice bath, snacks you won't find anywhere else in town, cleaning products that could probably remove car paint, and a random corner shrine for good measure.

It's not fancy, it's not modern, and it definitely doesn't follow any retail handbook-but that's the charm. It's the kind of place where you come for a bag of chips and leave feeling like you just traveled across the border without moving a mile.“

“atmosphere was great, food was good. I miss this service since Moe's left. I wish their cheese sauce was better. homemade better, it was jarred. straight out of a can. I won't order that again but everything else was great.“

“We have ordered twice now and the authentic flavors and generous portions will keep us coming back for more. Absolutely delicious food!!“

“I was delighted with this restaurant. Food is delicious . They have an excellent chef. The service is very fast even if the restaurant is full. The service of the waiters is very good.

Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair for babies.“

“If you want to experience a real Mexican food, La Casa de la Tía is definitely one of the places to visit and enjoy delicious and authentic meal dishes. My favorite is "sopes" without any meat just because is how my mom makes them. ?“

“The barbacoa was tasty, and the rice bowl has a pretty good sized portion. A little odd that the shredded cheese is portioned to the side, so it doesn't melt at all... But the flavor and portion size were certainly above average for the park.“

“I totally love it here.
You will too.

From the moment you are seated you feel transported to a land of culinary perfection, warm family- run, friendly staff and a clean bright and cheery atmosphere.

Seating is quick; nachos and 2 uncredible spicy salsas are brought right away. I love when salsa like this is so good.

The soup is out of this world

Chilate de Res huge slabs of tender stew beef with squash and fresh green beans in a mildly spicy tangy tomato broth that will blow away the senses. Served with several hot corn tortillas, cilantro and onions on the side.

Molcajete Poblano I can barely describe in full detail but just look at the photo - FRESH MASSIVE shrimps, tender spiced beef, grilled chicken, leeks, cactus, tomatoes, peppers, onions & avocado in a blazing hot fancy pot to ensure it all stays hot. This was amazing- and comes with a huge plate of yellow rice & black beans. Enough for two, as was the soup.

They play light Mexican ballads and have a nice sound system for a more enjoyable experience.

Prices vs value makes your visit not just inexpensive.. its so reasonable for the sheer volume of food they bring you!

My favorite thing is they have the Almost-chocolatey Ice-Cold Tiajuana-Bottled Refreshing Coca-Cola that you have to try at least once in your life! Also the staff.. I was offered everything befire i could even ask. Next the incredible flavors. Lastly: Nothing even matches the authentic FaMiLy-Sized- portions!! THEY OFFER CONTAINERS!

Whatever i wrote is just the tip of the iceberg.. We will return to try more fantastic menu choices- again and again!!“

“First time here and I've been to so many Mexican food restaurants. By far this is the best. I order huevo a la Mexicana and omg it was delicious. My plate could feed 2 people. The beans are awesome. No more driving to lakewood for Mexican food. I'm staying where I live and it's not far from me. I will be back El Poblano. Que Rica comida. ❤“
