Restaurantji's New Brunswick picks for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“My friend and I stopped by today on a whim. We honestly had no idea what to expect but this place is fantastic. The food is authentic, cheap, and so delicious (and spicy! WOW!). The entire menu is in spanish, but it was not a problem at all. One small thing, at the current moment they do not accept card, so make sure to bring some cash. This was excellent and 10/10 recommend.“
“What a great restaurant! We found it by chance and it’s like a little jewelry box filled with good authentic atmosphere, delicious food and amazing music. Señora Alma, the owner treated us as the family, the tacos were tasty. They also have some Oaxaca souvenirs and pottery for sale, the ambience is welcoming and warm.I will definitely be back for more. And did I mention they have parking lot next door for their customers.“
“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“
“I'm quite partial to the burrito bowls here, and the nachos are pretty good too.The inside is pretty cool; it's got picnic benches and swings and overall is just a neat vibe. The ordering area is quite loud though. Service is fast.Also, the menu for tips, instead of going something like 15%, 18%, 20% from left to right like most places do, goes 22%, 20%, 15%. So just keep that in mind.“
“I came in here on a Tuesday unaware that this restaurant had a Taco Tuesday special. The taco orders come in sets of 2 and each set is $4, so $2 per taco. Compared to some of the other Mexican restaurants around, this was an exceptional deal to me. After being seated, I was given chips and salsa. There are 4 varieties of salsa that are freshly made in this restaurant and the chips strike the right balance between saltiness, crunchiness, and grease. I ordered 4 sets of tacos that day (8 in total) and stuffed myself silly. Needless to say that the tacos were delicious. I liked that they gave thick cuts of radish with the tacos. It makes them feel healthier in a way. Since I've first came to this restaurant, I've since returned and tried all of the non-vegetarian taco varieties available on Taco Tuesday. My favorites would probably be the al pastor, campechanos, and enchiladas, but all of them were good. I don't think I've ever countered tacos de campechanos or enchiladas before, so those were interesting to me.Besides the tacos, I quite like the interior design of the place. It's very colorful and they play all sorts of old school Mexican pop and rock songs. The service is quick and the staff is very attentive.Now until now I've done nothing but praise this restaurant up until this point, but there are a couple of (very minor) downsides I want to point out. One is that there's no beer or alcoholic drinks served here, which is fine I guess since I really don't need the extra calories anyways. The second is that this place doesn't have my favorite taco variety - tacos de lengua. To me, having tacos de lengua on the menu makes me feel like it's a real Mexican place, but not having isn't the end of the world. Oh well. Would be nice though.I'll be bringing my friends here in the future and hopefully they'll enjoy it as much as I do. Maybe I'll also come back on a day other than Tuesday to try some of the other menu items.“
“We had a Birthday Celebration at On the Border and had a fabulous time!!! The Manager, Bill, went out of his way to accommodate us (group of eight) and our Server, Mariana, was wonderful and the hostess was so sweet. We aren't able to get together often and when we do, we talk for hours. The food was very good and It was so nice to relax and stay as long as we wanted to.“
