Ordered steak tacos, went there based off reviews. This was the worse steak taco….burnt pieces of steak, and if not burnt meat was chewy had a lot better at other Mexican places. Hopefully the chef had a bad day but these tacos sucked super dry

The best Mexican food I have ever tasted.

Best Mexican food in the area by a mile. Everyone who works there is really nice, and the drowned burritos and gorditas are done so well

My fiancé has been coming to this restaurant for years but introduced me once we started dating 6 years ago. This is hands down the best authentic Mexican food in NJ, and Philadelphia. We eat out a lot and love trying new places but so far, NO place has come close to the food here. The service is decent, they are friendly and remember you after only a visit or two. That’s always nice. I guess if I was to complain about anything at all, it would be the lack of heat within the restaurant in the winter. We usually order to go so it’s not a huge deal to us. But seriously… if your looking to genuinely enjoy some good food. This is the spot!!! We will be eating here until the end of days. Try the chimichanga and tamales. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to the cooks, the food is AMAZING. I would attach a picture of my food but I ate it all. ??❤️

Great authentic Mexican food! The gorditas & tamales are to die for!

The food here is very authentic, fresh, and the quality they put into their cooking is exceptional which is a major positive. The only negative is that because it is authentic most things are made from scratch so it takes a while to cook. I usually order an hour ahead of when I expect to pick up.

I drive 50 miles to get here sometimes! It’s so worth drive. Best Mexican food you can get!

I do not give it 5 stars because they should improve the place to eat, more cleanliness and attention, but I give it 5 stars for its food, it is too delicious.

I ordered the El pastor tacos. They were the most delicious I've had in a long time. The perfect combination of spicy marinated pork and sweet chunks of pineapple. I will continue to patronize this restaurant.

I ordered marinated pork and fries. I anticipated a more bold, flavorful meal..please note it wasn't bad but definitely needed a little more marinating. I will try again though because it was much better than the bland food around.
