Outstanding food, service and atmosphere!
Jennifer, the owner is so nice and caring and provides great service. This is the best Mexican food by far in New Jersey! We drive 1.5 hours to eat here!

The food is really good and the service is really prompt. Good place to take your family out to dinner in Princeton. While they do have parking, there is a community parking 2 blocks on the left.

Loved the food, went for lunch. Ordered chicken soup (ok), chicken burrito, tostadas (veg) and veg taco. Came with rice and beans. Was awesome. You can mix and match couple of different items, think 3 for $20. Order their hot sauce, which is made from some chili that tastes burnt but great. Finished it off with tres leches, again really good. Service was superb. Our new go to spot for lunch.
