I eat a lot of Mexican food — it’s probably my favorite cuisine — so I feel like I’ve got a pretty good gauge for what’s good and what’s just “okay.” This place is outstanding. It’s on my weekly rotation, and no matter how many other spots I try, I keep coming back here.

The owners are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll meet. They always greet me with a smile, and even if they’re busy, they take a moment to connect, and it...

Such a rare find and truly a Chatham institution. Having done a lot of business in Mexico City, I’ve always been disappointed by the so-called “Mexican” food around here that’s really just Tex-Mex in disguise. This place is different.

The flavors are bright, balanced, and clearly rooted in traditional Mexican cooking. Everything tastes super fresh, and there’s real care in the way the dishes are prepared. It feels both authentic and thoughtfully modern,...

Just had the most incredible fresh zucchini soup at a charming little Mexican restaurant in Chatham, New Jersey. It was homemade and full with flavor—the touch of fresh jalapeño gave it the perfect kick without overpowering the delicate taste of the zucchini. Warm, comforting, and full of love. Highly recommend stopping in for a bowl—you won’t regret it!
