A group of young men putting the work. The place is nice and clean, their food is very good. Those guys really tried. I used to order online, today I decided to walk in eventhough it took them a lil time to have my order ready once served I was very pleased with the food. 10 out of 10z.

Athmosphere, could be a little better.“

“Best tacos ever . I’ve been a client since the Sombrero truck on Market St in between Checkers and post office . Then they moved to union blvd . I’ve taken my immediate family ,taken friends , when my outer states visitors come is the first place they get taken to also!! Really everything is made fresh and there’s not one dish I can pick over another !! Can’t wait to get back from Puerto Rico to get some real tacos !!! Pa alante !!!“

“Best Mexican place in NJ and PA combined. I’ve had lots of Mexican food from many places and this place blows all others out of the water. Genuinely a perfect 10/10 authentic Mexican food restaurant. The employees are also very kind and willing to converse.“

“So happy I decided not to go home and cook. I live close by and wanted to try this restaurant for so long. I finally did it. I had the tortilla soup and the flautas. And of course chips with salsa and guacamole. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and attentive. Ambiance is very nice and the music… I was singing and dancing waiting for my food. Loved it!!“

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.“

“I loved my experience here. Now I should warn you, this place has a lot of character. If you want something a little boring and sterile, this is not the place. Victor was an incredible host and the food was fantastic.
I won't forget it. Such a nice time.“

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“

“Nice atmosphere, lovely wait staff. Aesthetically pleasing presentation of wonderfully delicious food! Will definitely return to try more dishes!“

“Amazing food and great hospitality. Definitely gives you that family feel.“

“exelente comida y sobre todo el karaoke con @cantanteonc espectacular“

“Awesome food… outdoor on summer time and indoor when it’s cold. Lovevthe Spanish music while eating ❤️“

“Featured on Binging with Babish. This is an excellent breakfast burrito, we tried both the bacon and chorizo burritos. I slightly preferred the chorizo - hints of lime, big chunks of avocado. This is a hefty meal at a very good price. Excellent service, kind and friendly staff, and perfect to take to the park“

“Quick service, good prices, fantastic food. If I lived nearer I'd be visiting multiple times a week.“

“Genuinely the best Mexican food I’ve had in Westchester, maybe even New York. And that’s saying something from native Californians! Tortillas and ingredients were very fresh and authentic. Prices were beyond reasonable. We’ll definitely be regular customers!“

“Working with Bro-Ritos was a very pleasant experience and we can't wait to bring them back to Rutgers-NB again! From the moment we contacted them through their website, they were professional, prompt, and friendly.We invited them for our annual Black Student Social which is a fall semester welcome program. The staff were kind and worked quickly to serve over 200 students. Our students were happy with their tacos and burritos. The owner was very accommodating and met all of our needs.Administratively, I was very impressed with Bro-Ritos. We made A LOT of requests and changes and had to work through the nuances of getting a new vendor approved, but Bro-Ritos was always responsive and on top of it. They are true team players.If you have the opportunity, you should book the Bro's!“

“Great food for a hole in the wall restaurant located in Gas station . Hidden find indeed.“

“Have been going here for 20+ years now. Food is always fast and consistent and they have the best chimichangas anywhere. I've been unable to find ones anywhere else that come close! I used to live nearby but now that i moved out of state, i always make it a point to stop here when back in the area.“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“1st times a charm. 3rd time back again! I stumbled upon this hidden gem last Saturday evening. Immediately floored by the hospitality, authenticity and of course the food! If you happen to be in New Rochelle. Please pay homage to the Mexican Corner.“

“Great food, great service. Have been here many times and always enjoy the food. Looking forward to the next visit!!“

“this is an incredible gem tucked away next to the 1 train station. we got the quesabirria. the meat was rich, high quality, and tender. the people who work here are so nice and welcoming, and served the food quickly and piping hot. highly recommend.“

“I love the food here. Everything is delicious and authentically Mexican. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend it. The guacamole is delicious, the nachos are scrumptious, and the tortas de azada are incredible. A great place to go with the family.“

“I work in the neighborhood and I came across this place one day. The food is amazing, homemade, fresh and made with love.
My favorite for breakfast are eggwhites with Chorizo, hot peppers and bacon on a roll. By the way, the ladies working there are so friendly as if they are welcoming you into their home with open arms. ❤️“

“Just came here for the first time. Ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and Guac and Chips $35 total. The Burrito was spectacular and so were the guac and chips! The atmosphere was very authentic. I felt like I was in a Mexican colmadon (deli). I loved the vibe. I walked from home. So this will be a local favorite of mine. Thank you.“

“Stopped for lunch and we were more interested in having sangria than in eating as we were not overly hungry. Have to say the staff were attentive and the food was ok but we paid $35 for a pitcher of white sangria that was very watered down. I had the bistec poblano and he had crispy calamari.“

“I used to go to the one in Middletown, NY when I was a kid. The inside decor is fun 🤩 with a nod to theme restaurants of the past. I very much enjoyed my entree with a jalapeño sauce and a white sauce, the margarita was a bit sweet, the guacamole 🥑 appetizer was excellent and freshly made. We will definitely go back to with our kids. Prices were fairly high from $25 to $35 per entree, but I understand in 2023 with inflation at a time highs, everything has increased in price. Overall, a fun and authentic restaurant which is oriented to celebrations.“

“The restaurant is great, staff very friendly & helpful in food & drink suggestions. Lovely deco, clean well managed. Menu selections are extremely delicious. Saturday night DJ play music which helps the vibe & have a fun evening.“

“We've been here three times now, and every visit has been fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious—authentic and clearly made with love. It's a Mexican-owned business, which we really appreciate and are proud to support. Wendy and Rafael are wonderful hosts who make us feel like we're visiting family each time we come in. We'll definitely keep coming back!“

“I loved the chips and dip! The fries were fresh and the chicken on the nachos were flavorful. My friends enjoyed the Virgin mojito and Pina colada. My two steak tacos definitely were a good choice. We sat and talked for a long time. We split the fried cheese cake and it was pleasant.

Parking: We parked a few blocks away“

“Amazing trays of 30 tacos and all veggies on the side! Plus we grabbed some Empanadas too! Today was the perfect day for us to try them since we were right at the mall! The owner was too sweet and brought us all kinds of things to try while we were waiting! The Biria was to die for and he brought us this Mexican Pizza absolutely mouthwatering! It is inside the gas station across from the Palisades! Seriously such good authentic Mexican food! He says you can even call and ask what his special is. He tries different things every week! Let's support a small local business! La Fondita Jarocha“

“Omg both the drinks and the food are simply delicious. The servers and the bartenders are helpful and professional.“
