    Three ground beef enchiladas, rice, beans
    Ed B.

    This is a new Mexican restaurant in the space that was previously Gandolfo's NY Deli. The interior has been completely redone. As expected, it is clean and immaculate. I visited on a weekday at noon and was the only customer. I was immediately greeted at the counter by a smiling woman. The menu was posted high on the wall and she helped me navigate the choices. I placed my order and chose a table to sit at. My order was delivered quickly, along with two sauces (one green, one red). The food was fresh, but, unfortunately noticeably "average". Nothing bad, but certainly nothing to make my taste buds notice. What I did notice, however, was there were no chips or salsa provided. For the price I paid, I could have gone to a myriad of other Mexican restaurants with table service that provided free chips and salsa. That was a lacking feature that took away from enjoying my Mexican food experience. The people were nice and the place was clean, but I doubt I will return. I wish them well. Adios.

    The food was excellent, and the service was wonderful. Took my son for lunch and it was delicious.

    Really happy I found this place. The chicken was seasoned well, the chile releno was done right, the staff was really sweet and attentive.

This time we shared one with each kind of meat offered: chicken, pork and beef. I can't say which I liked more because they all were so awesome as ever. We tried something completely new to us this time: a ceviche called aguachile negro. I Googled it: "Aguachile negro is a bold, spicy Mexican seafood dish featuring raw, butterflied shrimp "cooked" in lime juice, blended with a dark, savory sauce made from roasted chiles, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Maggi seasoning. Served cold with cucumber and red onion, it offers a deep umami flavor and intense heat, often topped with avocado." I'll say it's hot!!! A heat that grows and fills your whole head. Yet, it was so incredibly delicious I weathered the effects. I am not kidding--I don't think I've had a dish I have loved more. The flavor is fantastic, and when I fished for a little raw prawn and put that thing in my mouth, I just thrilled. We had some of their wonderful guacamole as a starter, and I wish now I had saved some to try with the ceviche--it would have been lovely. I will go back.

    My friend recommended this place and I finally got the chance to stop by for an early lunch. I…read moredrove past this place often and due to the direction I was heading, it could be tricky turning in from the other direction (across the road). The restaurant seemed to be a house, with plenty of space. Bottled drinks and desserts are in the fridge cooler and to get them ourselves if we want that. I decided on the Mulitas instead of my usual enchilada plate. It's a smaller version with 3 mini size tortilla filled with meat of your choice. I had carnitas, beef and chicken. All were good. Served with beans and rice. My friend had the beef burrito and it was pretty big. She said it was tasty and very filling. It was literally the only meal she had for the day. It seemed to be a family run place and so service was a bit slow. We had to wait a while before someone came out to the counter for us to make payment. There was no bell to alert them. I noticed other customers popping into the kitchen/staff area to get their attention to take order.

We were looking for some good Mexican food for dinner and noticed this spot, long in the making, was finally open.

They have lots of different meat choices to pick from but we personally like the carne asada the best. They fill the tacos full of meat and they top them with onions and cilantro. They give complimentary chips and salsa and pinto beans. Everything here has so much flavor, it's the best taco place we have ever been to. The prices are very reasonable. You pick your own spot to sit and someone comes and takes your order shortly after. The service here is fast! Our tacos always come out quick after we order. When you go to pay you have to go to the store next door down the hallway, so that was a little tricky at first to figure out. We love it here!

The first time I went there I tried the pork stomach which had an interesting texture (It felt like I should be the one digested!) but nonetheless still tasted really great. They were very accommodating for a large group (14 people) and food came out relatively speedy considering the amount of people and the amount of food ordered! (Lightning McQueen fast) The reason for the four stars was the service the first time I went was slightly slow and you can't split the bill up, one person has to pay when your in a group. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating but if you sit outdoors just let them know! A wonderful bustling environment filled with smells that will call you back and food that you'll dream of at night. Lovely place for a quick bite to eat.
