Unbelievable restaurant with the cleanest and most corona friendly indoor AND outdoor (year round) dining options. Management could not be friendlier. Hector knows our usual orders and always has great suggestions or offers to create something off menu with all our favorite ingredients. We could not recommend this place more highly, and have been coming at LEAST every other week for months now!

This Mexican Restaurant gem is in a supermarket mall. It may as well be in the swankiest section of town, because they make outstanding dishes!
A fave is the Chiles Rellenos.

This is hands down my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. I grew up in Southern California; VERY spoiled when it comes to authentic Mexican cuisine. It's a comfort food for me too, but only when it's done right. This location DOES IT RIGHT (I do not like the other locations of this chain nearly as much as Mahwah).
I've tried many different things off their menu, all delicious, but my staple is the birria tacos (to DIE for). As far as dessert...
