Good ambient, lower yellow lights a interesting decoration, the employers are educated and straight to your service. In my perspective the food it was left to be desired, good sauces and great burrito, i felt that the beans came little cold, unfortunately the tamarindo juice was out of menu, salad okay and the flan was soft & tasty. Not a bad experience, just take care with the beans lool.

I bought a chicken soup and the truth is that soup was too sour, the smell of that soup was honestly horrible. They were super good but this is my second bad experience with them…. Very bad taste in the mouth...

The food here was absolutely delicious! Was craving for authentic Mexican food and I finally found the right one here in New Jersey. The restaurant itself is very welcoming and well decorated. I ordered 3 entrees, an appetizer and 3 different drinks, im indecisive what can I say.
Mole Poblano was my favorite love the presentation. The Cemita Milanesa de pollo (chicken cutlet) was delicious as well was only able to eat half of it the portions are big btw! I also had the Salsa Verde Chilaquiles, loved it, it was spicy but not overwhelmingly spicy it was a perfect balance honestly. For my appetizer I had nachos with salsa and as for beverages arroz con leche, Jamaica and Tamarindo was all 10/10
The total for everything was about $70 honestly a great price for what I ordered which was a lot. Will be coming here more often definitely my go to place.

I had a horrible experience at this restaurant and would not recommend it to anyone. It started when I placed an order for my son, who wanted a steak quesadilla. When the food finally arrived, my son’s order wasn’t included. The server hadn’t even written it down! My sister's food was also terrible—the meat was old and stale , and the rice was completely flavorless.
When we reminded the server about my son’s quesadilla, they eventually brought it out, but it wasn’t even close to what we ordered. Instead of a steak quesadilla, it was a plain cheese quesadilla with no meat at all. I have no idea what went wrong or whether the server misunderstood us, but it was incredibly frustrating.
To make matters worse, when we received the bill, they tried to charge me for an extra for a drink. It felt like they were just adding on charges hoping we wouldn’t notice. Lastly, when we got home, my son ended up feeling sick and had a stomach ache. This just added to an already awful experience.
Overall, the food was bad, the service was disorganized, and they even tried to overcharge us. I would strongly recommend staying away from this place—it’s not worth your time or money.
Just wonderful

It's nice to go eat with your family because it makes you feel at home, the service from the workers was excellent because they treated me and my family with respect and friendliness. Finally, if I could eat only one meal for the rest of my life, it would be from my little Mexico.
Kid-friendliness: My daughter felt very good and told me that she wanted to go again and I understood her, because of course the food in my little Mexico is incredible.

Tamale and cinnamon milk is good. Cheese enchiladas and tortilla soup was beyond awful as it was way over salted. One of the few times I did not finish an entree or decide to take it home with me. Also the server was trying to take a plate from me before I was finished with me.A shame really.

The burnt al pastor tacos tasted bitter lately, the service was terrible. I arrived at 8 pm and they no longer accept us to eat there and the food is very bad to take away.

This is THE place to go if you want authentic Mexican food at a great price. Highly recommend the Mocajete and the horchata! The grilled cactus was perfectly grilled and still nice and sweet, so good.
Parking: Come busy hours, you’re gonna have to plan time to find parking and expect a short walk to the restaurant.
Kid-friendliness: No specific kids menu that I remember, but the cost of the regular meals are very doable and the portions are massive! Could almost split a single meal between two younger kids.

The foods average at best but my main problem is with their delivery person she’ll either guilt trip you into giving her a tip or she’ll just straight out take it. She does this by not carrying any sort of change on her and goes back to the car and takes 2-4 dollars without your permission. For anyone who ever orders delivery next time always ask for the total of your order before hanging up and always count your money if you handed them a big bill. Remember tips aren’t mandatory it’s a gesture of generosity, it’s not the customers job to pay their salary
