One of the great things that has happened over the recent years here in Hamilton has been the…read moreincrease in the number of Mexican & Central American restaurants available. For too long a time, the choice just used to be just one place on 33 that no longer exists (even the building is gone). If not there, then one needed to head to Trenton for the Guatemalan places that served some solid tacos to go with their regional cuisine. Now, we've choices galore, and since we're no longer held hostage by lack of options, we actually have to put thought into deciding where to spend our dollars. My Quate has now been serving up tasty south of the border standards for about a half dozen years, and after a number of visits, I can say that My Quate is solidly on my list of places worth going to. The location is on the small side, and every time I've been there, there's been just one person working the front. Sometimes if it's busy it can take a few minutes before the counter person can get to you, but they've always been cheerful and attentive. The place is always clean, and it's got the usual bright decorations that you've grown to expect when going for Mexican style food. Probably my favorite item on the menu is the Tortilla Soup. It has a depth of flavor that hits me where I live, and it's a fantastic cold night dish (or anytime dish), and even the cup sized serving can be fairly filling in itself. If I need some Tortilla Soup, My Quate is my choice. They serve two different types of enchiladas--their House style and their Traditional style. The difference between the two appears to be the toppings and choices of sauces. That said, you need to pay attention. I ordered a House style chicken mole enchilada, and the server asked me if I wanted grilled chicken or shredded. I said shredded, but that only comes with the Traditional style. So what I got was the shredded chicken enchilada en Mole, but instead of being topped in the cheese sauce that the House style gets, it was topped with lettuce and sour cream (which I dislike). Luckily the sour cream wasn't super heavy and by smearing it in with the mole it was hidden, but it was a lesson in paying attention to the menu. That said, the Mole was very good, a hint of sweetness, but not excessively so, and it went down well. The fish tacos served here didn't quite make the top 3 of my faves (https://www.yelp.com/collection/3YtEEhWaFEnyFZ4JjP0nbw/Fish-Tacos-in-Hamilton-Area-Ranked) in the Hamilton area--mainly due to them not being the battered, deep fried style I prefer, but they were the BEST of the chopped, non-fried fish tacos. They were tacos with above average flavor, likely due to the flavorful liquid in which they're cooked (braised?) that's full of tomatoes, onions, and chiles. To top it off, they're served on a fresh, house made tortilla that's got a robust texture that didn't succumb to the wetness of the fish, and that tortilla also had a great flavor that you only get from freshly made tortillas. Probably my only real negative is the salsa that is served with the totopos at the beginning of the meal after sitting down. It's just lifeless and is like dipping your totopo into a bowl of crushed tomatoes. There's no pico in that gallo. Aside from my minor issues with the free stuff, My Quate is well worth the visit if you're looking for a quality Mexican style meal.

There are 7 bar stools for counter seating, so either you take it to go or eat there (and then come out smelling like fried food). It's a local hole-in-the-wall that caters to fellow Central Americans, which is why I wanted to try the food. But alas, the food wasn't that great. The drink selection is good, though! Homemade horchata and tamarind drinks, plus a variety of canned drinks and juices, including mango with pulp. At the end of the day, it's worth a try (it's the only one like it in Princeton) but just don't expect too much!

I ordered one of the specials that used skirt steak (sorry, my Spanish is pretty much nonexistent so I forget the exact name) and it was prepared in ~10 minutes or so. I could tell it was fresh, so no complaints there! I took my food to go, and I have to admit that it was pretty challenging to cut up my steak with the provided plastic knife and fork. Granted, I'm not really sure what the solution is - it's not like they're going to give out a quality knife and fork for a take-out order. The steak was definitely tasty and tender for skirt steak, and the sides (rice, black beans, and pasta salad with a jalapeño on top) were all high quality as well. Finally, they offered some side tortillas which were decent but didn't blow me away. The whole meal was only $10, which is extremely reasonable for Princeton. Overall, I was really happy with my experience at Chapin. All of the food was good (with the exception of the side tortillas, which were only decent). I do think that the restaurant could offer a little more information on the ingredients of the specials (I had to use Google!), but I guess I could have just asked the reasonably friendly staff and he would have answered my questions :) But it's nice to just be able to read it off a menu. Anyway, I can definitely see myself coming back!

I've been wanting to come to this Korean BBQ inspired Mexican place ever since reading about the…read moreopening in the township's monthly fishwrap, and finally remembered it when we found ourselves wanting to try someplace new. The place is easy to get to at its location just off 295, and though it doesn't look like much from the outside, it is well kept and clean when you enter. We did the all you can eat and added the $5 extra for the premium meats such as skirt steak and ribeye. Since it was the first time for us, we ordered an appetizer from the all you can eat menu. The Queso Fundido was very tasty, but in retrospect, the cheese and corn in the dish, though small in size, took away belly space that could have been used for something more meaty. We also ordered tacos of Barbacoa lamb (it comes ready from the kitchen), but the remainder of our meal was cooked on the table's grill. Ribeye was especially tasty with a very flavorful seasoning on it. We went back for a second round on it and the skirt steak. The tortillas seemed on the thin side, which I completely approved of, as it meant more belly space remained available for the meats. The servers were friendly and attentive, and even when it started getting busier at 6PM, they were there when we needed them, and patient with our first visit slowness when deciding on what/how to proceed. They were changing out our grill top after every new order to make certain it conducted heat well for max searing, and we never had to wait more than a handful of minutes for the meat to arrive after ordering. In the end, we ordered two meats at a time, along with tortillas for tacos, and that seemed to work well for us. My only regret is that we didn't splurge on the guacamole, but the variety of salsas they offered worked just fine. Legroom can be right under the table for a taller person, but it's doable. It took us almost a year to visit after they opened, but it won't be nearly that long before we return.
