“Best authentic Mexican food in all of NJ! Lucky to have stumbled in their doorway... Everything is deliciously made and fresh.“

“The food is consistent. And DELICIOUS. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants as it’s my favorite. And this is my go to. Slow-er on the service but that’s due to how incredibly busy they are with take out orders alone. It’s family owned and run. They are so nice and I can’t speak enough about how authentic the food is.“

“Alright, let me tell you something—if you’re looking for some real Mexican food, not that fast-food, drive-thru nonsense, then this is the spot. I’m talking about the kind of food that makes you sit back, loosen your belt, and reevaluate every bad meal you’ve ever had. This ain’t no “let’s grab a quick bite” kinda place—this is “cancel your plans, we eating good tonight” territory!

First off, the nachos? Forget about it! My daughter took one bite and straight-up said she may never eat nachos anywhere else again. And I believe her! This place ruins all other nachos for you! The burritos? Massive. The enchiladas? Smothered in sauce like they just got a hug from their abuela. And the salsas? They don’t play around—there’s heat, there’s flavor, and if you can’t handle it, that’s your problem.

And the staff? Man, they treat you like family—like the kind of family that actually likes each other! They keep your drinks full, your chips coming, and they do it all with a smile. Because let’s be real—if you’re working in a place serving food this good, you gotta be in a good mood!

So if you want real Mexican food, stop playing around and come here. Just be ready to leave stuffed, happy, and already planning your next visit. Oh, and tip your server! Don’t be cheap—if you can afford that extra side of guac, you can afford to tip right!“

“We stopped in here for lunch & the entire family loved their meals. We had a nice time here, the place is clean, staff is speedy & professional. We were able to park on the side. Their us outdoor & indoor seating. The food looked presentable and it all tasted fresh. Will definitely be returning here when we’re back in this area.

Kid-friendliness: One of my kids only eats tenders & fries wherever we go. My husband and I were craving tacos from here as highly recommended. Glad we were able to accommodate our child in a taco establishment.“

“Disfrutamos de ricos platillos Mexicanos, Todo estuvo muy delicioso!“

“This is the best Mexican restaurant in long branch so far that me and my family has visited. We highly recommend it to everyone who is looking to get a taste of good quality Mexican food.“

“An authentic Mexican restaurant with a variety of options. I’m not the most expert in Mexican food, but I really liked what I had there. The food was fresh and the lamb tastes great. The inside atmosphere is so energetic and very colorful. The staff were nice and accommodating. Outside street parking is available but usually full during rush hours. Prices are ok, most are average, a little bit overpriced on few dishes. Overall very nice experience and recommended.“

“I don't live in the area but anytime I am in the area I stop in for dinner or get takeout. The restaurant is a small mom & pop type of establishment. I am not fussy about waiting or service. I just want good tasting food. Prices are reasonable. What I also like is that on my visits I see small families eat here & mostly Mexican/Latino people which tells me the food must be good because they are more familiar with the cuisine than I am. I LOVE their chicken soup and always get a large container to go. I usually get chicken enchiladas. This past visit I got Tinga which is stewed chicken & potatoes, rice & beans = delicious. If I lived anywhere closer, I would definately be getting takeout very frequently. My experiences have always been good,

Vegetarian options: There is something for everyone.

Parking: Park on the street. There is also parking to the right of the building & there is a supermarket across the street.“
