My son and I stopped in on our way to the Hackensack ice rink, and the entire experience was exceptional. We split an order of Carnitas and chicken birria tacos, and they were both fantastic.

We recently had the pleasure of dining here today. This restaurant brings out the food of its people with great prices. The tacos are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are truly authentic. We tried the fried pork, beef birria and chicken birria tacos and churros they were excellent. The tortillas are made fresh daily. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.

Great authentic Mexican local spot - I’d recommend the carne enchilada tacos and the al pastor empanadas. Will absolutely fill you up and not break the bank!

5 minutes after devouring the burrito oh my god it's a little hidden gem in the suburbs, way better than the advertised Mexican restaurants from the city. Beautifully seasoned rice and meat. The birria is one of the best I've tried in new Jersey.

The staff was super nice and five stars for them. The venue was small and not busy today, a Wednesday during lunch. I had the platter($14) where I chose 4 tacos. In the order starting with my most favorite I had the al pastor(pig), shrimp, beef, and finally chicken. The al pastor wasn't quite what I'm accustomed to, but it was still tasty and worth trying. The shrimp was simple and good. The beef was a bit bland, even with the birria sauce which was also bland. The chicken had no detectable flavor. It was a little better with the birria sauce. The common theme across all tacos were good portions, but boring and bland. I recently had birria is Bayonne and it was amazing and flavorful. The tacos here could be just as good, but they need more love. A lot more sabor could make this great. I enjoyed most of my meat, it was good for what it was. But I won't come back because it's just not tasty enough. I know I could add hot sauce, but it's not about heat, it's about flavor.Rating break down:5 stars to staff, venue, portion size, value, presentation, plating, and being very clean.1 stars for flavor or lack thereof.

Everything looked and smelled great , meal was good. BUT the beef was very salty, had to throw half of it away . Maybe the cook's hand was heavy that day.

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and clean environment. The owners are friendly and provide an outstanding customer service. Their empanadas are scrumptious ?. All of their food is delicious. The only thing I would wish that in their nachos they make would make it with wacamole instead of chopped avocados.But excellent Mexican restaurant.
