Bloomingdale, NJ - this place is a favorite of the locals and among my top 3 Mexican restaurants in the area, but is the one we like to dine in at the most because the food is always good, it's homey, and the people are very sweet. I'm always psyched for the salsa here and could probably polish off a whole basket of tortilla chips by myself with it. It's got just the right amount of mild kick. You're given a complimentary cheesy tortilla as an appetizer as well. We often get the queso derretido con chorizo appetizer, a combo platter of some sort, and I'm a fan of their paella as well, which is stuffed to the brim with chicken, chorizo, and seafood. They serve up a complimentary dessert of banana & honey chimichanga at the end which is yummy. The prices have gone up a fair bit in the last couple of years, and they do charge 4% for credit card payment (an increasingly common practice that's anathema to someone who hates carrying cash like me), so I was tempted to take away a star. But in light of our overall great experiences here, always satisfying meals, excellent and friendly service (shoutout to Fabian), not to mention the freebies they throw in, a 5-star rating is still justified. read more

Parking. Staff very attentive. Nice ambiance. Food was okay. They give you a free cheese quesadilla and dessert. I ordered the combo; taco was an american taco which was not my favorite but the chile relleno was really good. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food with outstanding attentive service. This is a very small but quaint hidden gem. Fantastic menu options with a full bar and mixed drink menu. Within minutes of seating you are politely served chips and homemade salsa. The Campesino was prepared perfectly. A huge portion that couldn't be finished. A traditional margarita was also prepared nicely with a nice added touch of tajin on the rim. The attentive and very accommodating service was concluded with a complimentary dessert. The sweet Chimichanga with whipped cream was decadent. And just when I thought the service couldn't get any better, I was offered a complimentary shot of tequila. This restaurant was five stars in all respects. A 4% fee is charged for CC and is prominently posted on the front of the menu. Food and beverage is priced on point with other local restaurants. read more

From the very beginning, no one came to our table for at least 10 minutes. We had to ask for our menus.. the silverware never came. We ordered guacamole and two orders of fajitas. The service was so slow that people were getting out of their seats and going to the bar to get their drinks. People were reaching into the outdoor chip container to get their own ships, which was absolutely disgusting. People were ranting and raving how bad it was. Our guacamole never came. Our food came. There were literally three shrimp on my fajita dish, which cost $30. It was ridiculous. We got there at 8:40. We left there at 10:30. read more

Changed! We like the food and have been coming here for years. Ordered a $32 entree and a margarita and was still hungry, so I added an appetizer at the end of my meal. There was about a mere 1/4 cup of rice and a 1/3 cup of beans provided as sides. No longer do they serve a small quesadilla prior to the entree. That used to be a much appreciated gesture. My bill for one was $72.00. So disappointed with the smaller than previous portions and the cost is relatively expensive. Definitely under new and rather stingy management. We will not be back. read more

Paid $16 each for two quesadilla orders and the portions were shockingly small. I even put a chip on one for size reference. Is this what your quesadillas always look like? Please make this right as this is unacceptable! read more

Been going here for years. Things have changed Meals used to include casadilla, dessert, and a shot. My waitress got my order wrong and overcharged me to correct. Sorry, probably not going back read more

Back when they were first starting out, gave a free quesadilla, dessert and to end the night a tequila shot. Got big now. Went with my daughter and a 4 and 6 year old that only eat the guacamole dip and cheese quesadilla. Ordered adult meals, pitcher of margaritas, apple juices and three quesadillas each for the kids (remember they USED to give those out for free). Food usual quality. No free 'dessert' as before and charged $29.92 for 6 quesadilla (cheese). Ones that they used to give for free. Papi, your kids are going to kill your business. You must be aware that there are many mexican resturants within a spit of yours. From someone who remembers you giving out roses on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Very small intimate space with a cute bar and authentic style!! Not to mention this place gives you a complimentary chips and salsa, quesadilla, dessert & shot of tequila!!!!!!!!! Parking is not an issue. The service was quick, friendly & attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. It tastes so fresh & the portions are more than generous. I must say I rarely find a pina colada that I can genuinely say I love... this place has the BEST pina coladas hands down. I am absolutely shocked at how fantastic this restaurant was and cannot wait to return! read more

What a find. A small Mexican restaurant that is so quaint and authentic. Salsa brought to table along with tortilla w cheese for each person on the house. Waiters were so polite. The menu is a perfect Mexican cuisine and full of selections to make your dining enjoyable. Our food was delicious from the guacamole, our 2 dinners and at time of check the waiter brought us a tasty Mexican dessert on the house. After we ate it the waiter asked if we would like a shot of tequila on the house. We never had this type of hospitality at a small family run restaurant. We will definitely return with friends to enjoy another wonderful dinner here. Thank you so much for a lovely experience. read more

I ordered the tostadas they came soggy with an unbearable texture, service was fine but I saw a lady making a churro and spilled some whipped cream on it and she took it off with her plain finger no glove. Clean tables and cute decor, overall I don't recommend read more

Yesterday I went for belated Cinco de Mayo celebrations. I hadn't sat out on the patio, but since it was a beautiful day out yesterday, I did and it was festive to the restaurant. The food was great too--besides my main course (chicken tacos) they of course had chips and salsa, and they also served complimentary cheese empanadas and dessert. Friendly staff too! I recommend going, I hope to go back in the near future! read more

This place was such a good find! Right in our backyard, very cozy and welcoming. The servers are so friendly and accommodating. We were seated right away and were served salsa and chips- Shortly followed by a cheese quesadilla - both on the house. Totally hit the spot to satisfy the appetizer craving. We got the fresh guacamole which was made right in front of us- customized to your preference. We ordered the sizzling fajitas special and the Pollo juanito. The fajitas was so flavorful and the sides were fresh. The chicken was served with a side is salad, beans and rice - zesty and delicious. The red sangria was amazing! We were also given complimentary fried banana as dessert. Awesome service, incredible staff and great casual ambiance! Highly recommend and will definitely revisit. read more

Food was so delicious!! Service was very accommodating to my large party. The ambiance was such a vibe!

The restaurant itself is very cute and clean. The staff is all very friendly but when it come to the food. There was a lot of flavor missing. The huevos rancheros came with two tortillas and then two eggs with rice and beans. The two tortillas had some sort of chorizo in between but it wasn't good. There wasn't enough of the actual salsa but that was ok because it didn't taste so great either. Rice was super dry like it had been sitting under the heat lamp for too long. Beans had no flavor to them so I can't say they were good. Maybe they have other items that are more popular but this really wasn't a place I would come back to in I lived in the area read more

Phenomenal food, great atmosphere. Wait staff provided us with free small cheese quesadilla and dessert at end of meal for everyone.

Was here with 5 friends recently on a Friday night around 8:30 PM. It was packed but only needed to wait about 10 minutes to get seated. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Food was good and service was excellent. Highly recommend this place. read more

Cinco De Mayo - Mexican Near Me - Bloomingdale, New Jersey

My family of 4 stopped here on the way home from Mountain Creek heading towards NYC. We pulled up and were skeptical when we saw the little nondescript restaurant that looked like a house from the side. We decided to give it a try anyway we were all happy we did! The food was delicious the decor was welcoming and cute and the food was a hit with all 4 of us. We had the tacos, 2 orders enchiladas Suiza and beef tostadas. Only complaint is probably that it was a little pricy for Mexican food but it's what I expect since restaurants were hard hit by Covid. We knew what to expect since we checked the menu before heading in. Everyone was happy with their meal and the service was even better. If you are wondering where to eat and are in the area I highly recommend stopping in and giving it a shot! read more

Overpriced Mexican food. I'd expect to pay these prices in the city. However I would gladly pay the price if the food was something special but unfortunately this was not the case. The tacos were super greasy. Guacamole was almost $13 for a small bowl! Come on... we won't be back. read more

This is my favorite local Mexican restaurant. We constantly dine in, order take out and order delivery from this place. Everything we have ordered thus far has been delicious and in huge portions. I would recommend getting the margarita pitcher as it ends up saving the table a ton of money. Instead of paying for three 13$ margaritas each we just paid for a single pitcher instead and it saved us a lot. We recently got the strawberry frozen margarita pitcher and it was made perfectly ! It was not too sweet or too syrupy like some other frozen strawberry margaritas ive gotten from other locations. We typically order the burritos with variations of shredded chicken, ground beef, shredded beef, roasted pork, and vegetables. My personal favorite is the chicken burritos. The meals are huge, coming with large portions of rice and refried beans covered in delicious cheese. When you actually go into the restaurant to dine in, they often provide the tables with free items such as chips, salsa, mini cheese quesadilla appetizers, then tequila shots, and banana honey fried spring rolls with whipped cream for dessert. I would highly recommend anyone check this place out you will not be disappointed! read more

You can always tell when a Mexican restaurant is good because Mexican people will eat there.... Sadly this is an American crowd who are sadly mistaken for what good Mexican food is. Americans are easily tricked into thinking a place like this is good simply because they serve alcohol. Sorry Cinco de Mayo. Try naming your place after a holiday that's not celebrated more in American than it is in Mexico. read more

Friendly service delicious food clean parking is a little tough when it gets crowded. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

Very good spot and within walking distance. Always a good time coming here. Food is consistent.

Place is small but cute. We were seated right away on a Sunday night. Servers were attentive. We ordered white sangria and a frozen margarita. I didn't like the sangria but the margarita was good and gigantic. We started with the guac which they make table side to your liking. It was very good. Then for entrees I had some enchiladas and my boyfriend had the steak tacos. I liked mine more than he liked his. The enchiladas were great and I love the rice here. I realized that this reminded me of a place I used to go in Rockland county because the food is almost the same. I asked and it turns out the owners are brothers. This is great news because I loved it there! I will definitely return when I'm in the mood for Mexican. read more

Went on a Sunday night and were seated immediately. This small little place is cozy and we sat in the back, near the bar. Cute little, informal Mexican spot with some really good food. We tried the guacamole, which was made at our table to our liking and very good. We also tried a 1/2 pitcher of red sangria that was tasty and seemed like it was never-ending... our table tried a combo entree, the fish tacos and steak ranchero and each was very good. Nice full bar and good for what it is - informal, authentic and casual. Give it a try, I'd go back again. read more
