Want a fun night ? I'd say if you are seeking a happy hour, with actual happy hour prices, then you would enjoy this place. The food is authentic, the music makes me want to dance. I came during happy hour and stayed until the evening. This place is fun spot to get a tipsy and enjoy the atmosphere. Enchiladas Texanas - I loved everything but the green sauce. The enchiladas were cheesy and full of flavored chicken. Rice and beans yummy. The green sauce kind of off put the dish for me. It was stangy and very citrus flavored. I would order again w/o the sauce The queso dip is good and does its good. The drinks though is where they stood out. They didnt skimp on the alcohol pour. I got a little tipsy from just one drink. I went for another afterwards. Any place that makes strong drinks I'll be back read more

So the only other time I've been here was one year many years ago on Cinco de Mayo and it was packed. So packed that I didn't enjoy myself or get a chance to try any food. Decided to come to the closet spot for some drinks. Walked in and we were immediately seated towards the back area. The decor looked very nice and authentic to the culture. Our server was pleasant and very much aware of all items on the menu and attentive to her tables. For drinks, we ordered Margherita's, a Long Island, and shots (Green Tea shot and something like an espresso martini shot) both were very good, my preference is the green tea shot. We came for some drinks during happy hour, but after viewing the menu we knew we had to try things. Everything had flavor and tasted so good. I had the Nicaraguan meal with white rice and maduros. Someone else had the shrimp soup which came in a big bowl and enough to bring home w/a side of tostones. I will be coming back to try other things. Ample parking, big parking lot. read more

Just tried this recently and was blown away! Big menu, but quality was fantastic! Be sure to try the roasted pork!

Too Pricey for bad mexican food. Drinks are average at best. Do not get the chicken enchiladas or chicharrones. read more

Finally a place that offers Puerto Rican food, good choices Pernil, roast chicken, chiccarones, and other . Food moves quickly, fresh

I like to give places a chance, even if they don't have the greatest ratings. This time, I should have listened to the reviews, particularly those concerning food safety. My companion and I came for Thursday happy hour and got 2 mango margaritas and quesadillas- one shrimp, one chicken, and it was a decent meal and drinks, good service. But by the morning, both of us were either sick or having stomach issues. I don't like to give bad reviews, but the fact we BOTH got sick encouraged me to leave a warning. Be mindful when choosing to dine here. I was hopeful about this place considering its proximity to us, but I unfortunately will not be coming again. Considering many of the previous 1 star reviews going back 7+ years ago, I'm honestly not sure how this place is still open. read more

We visited here for dinner on Friday night around 8pm. We waited a few minutes at the hostess counter before someone acknowledged us, a few minutes later we were seated. We sat for about 5-8 minutes before I was able to make eye contact with someone to get assistance at our table. He took our drink order, I ordered the margarita flight and he ordered a frozen margarita, my drinks were good his frozen margarita was far from frozen but we didn't send it back. We ordered wings as an appetizer, they were good. He ordered the shrimp tacos and I ordered the fish platter with plantains, the food portions were good and all tasted good. He ordered a second drink, again it was not frozen. My friend gave it 2 stars, I gave it 4 so compromising at 3 stars due to the drinks and slow service. read more

Know going in that this is not fine dining. I thought the playlist was really good. Things didn't feel very cleansed but I didn't really expect it to either. The chips and salsa are good. We pretty much devoured those. The drinks are decent. I recommend the passion fruit margarita. It was very tasty. They have a good happy hour special. Do not get the enchiladas. Not good. However, the steak, rice and beans were very flavorful. Would definitely just stick to ordering that if I go back. Overall, a good place to go to if you're around the area and don't feel like cooking; simply looking for a very very chill night. read more

I had time to kill, and had always wanted to try this place out. So I stopped in for happy hour one afternoon. It's a somewhat dark place inside. I didn't realize until I sat down at the bar that there was a separate entrance where there was a restaurant also. I ordered a drink, an empanada, and some guacamole & chips. The drink was very good, and one was more than enough. I enjoyed the empanada. But the guacamole wasn't exactly memorable. But at happy hour prices, it was a good way to spend the afternoon. read more

I thought the food was very good. I think the service could use some attention,as it took a long while to order another drink. And could they do something with the constant notifications,loud and annoying. I will bring earplugs next time. read more

I wondered why I never heard of this place. I walked in and the ambieance was beautiful. Var in the front restaurant and ready to go buffet in the back for take out. The drinks were strong and fabulous but the service and the food were ABSOLUTELY TERRRIBLE. My date and I sat there for 2 hours total waiting for all of our food and drinks. Food was so lackluster and over priced. The server would take 30-40 mins at a time to come back to us. Never eating here again but those drinks are addictive read more

Wish I could give it a negative #. Food was tasteless and when I asked about the happy hour posted on their website the bar person had no idea what I was talking about. Place is not very clean at all and some of the customers are scary. Don't come here and their food prices are ridiculous. Find another Mexican restaurant like Plaza Azteca which is not reasonably priced but it's decent for food. Paid $20 for a Jose Cuervo margarita. read more

Horrible experience! Do NOT eat there, they have roaches! While we were waiting for our check my husband saw a roach crawling towards me. We were sitting in a booth, my side was against a wall. I immediately stood up and watched it crawl behind the back of the seat. I can't imagine how infested that place must be. Especially with all the food sitting out in the front. read more

Well, after driving by Don Tequila about 5,000 times on the way to Rte. 42, I finally decided to order some food for 2 through ezCater. I ordered 3 dishes: Seafood Paella, Don Burrito with Steak and a Fish Sandwich with Fries, plus Coconut and Champagne Cola drinks. The paella actually was impressive and very tasty - A baby lobster tail, shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops all nicely cooked and well seasoned over rice. A decent amount of food for $24.00. I'd order it again! My GF liked the Don Burrito with steak. It was a nice sized burrito, which she said was bigger and more flavorful than what you might get at Chipolte. She only ate 1/2 of it and put the rest away for the next day, so I guess it was filling..lol The only thing that was bit of a disappointment was the Fish Sandwich - while the fries were great, the pieces of fish were on the small side and a bit dried out. Not quite sure what fish they used either. I'll take a pass on this in the future. I'm trying to size up some of the Mexican restaurants in my immediate area, so at least I now know that most of the food here is good! read more

Food was below par for Latin cuisine. Unfortunately the place is becoming more so popular as a watering hole than a quality Latin Restaurant. The area in Blackwood is urban not in a good way and surrounded by less than appealing bussiness. I'm 100% Puertorican and will not take my mom here. The ladies that serve there are not at all the fault as they provided good service. Not even good for take out. Sorry to say. read more

First off our server had an attitude from the start. We ordered from the food that was displayed on the buffet table. We were a party of 7. We observed each plate get placed in the microwave which is unacceptable. Our waitress named Marilax, was rude. When our food came out we noticed that we wanted chicken instead of beef. When we asked to change the meat, Marilax had an attitude and argued back with us saying she didn't make a mistake arguing that she read the order back to us therefore she was right. It doesn't matter who made a mistake or not, as a customer service representative you should not be arguing back and forth with a customer. And on top of that, they forcefully charged us 18% gratuity on our check. So of course she didn't care about her attitude because regardless she got a $34 tip from our check when she did not deserve it. Anyone can walk a plate to a table but what matters is the attitude you are presented with. This restaurant should not be forcing patrons to pay 18% tip when the servers are going to give you an attitude and not be amicable. At the end we still tried to engage Marilax because that's how we are, trying to make the best of an awkward situation, we playfully asked what country was she from since we were all Hispanic but she did not want to answer and when we said we were Puerto Rican that's when she answered but she was dry and disengaged. As a former customer service supervisor, this server requires further training. We are repeat customers however this particular interaction has left a sour taste in our mouths and we will not be returning to this establishment. read more

This was the first place I got food from when I moved down south. Even though there is language barrier these people were so nice and chill. I have tried almost every foodit is that good. Ambiance is great too. You can hang out at the bar and wait for your food. Great music as well! read more

The food here is really good. I prefer takeout because it's faster. The one thing I dislike is the one guy bartender at the bar. He acts like he doesn't ever know what you're saying and he has amnesia or something. I literally just ordered nachos & he told the server who wrote it down and 30 minutes later I'm asking where my nachos are and he acts like I never ordered them. The other bartenders are better here. I miss the originals read more

Ordered a chicharron platter and there was worms in my chicharrons and also in my corn that I got. We've been going here for two years and never had this issue before so it's very disappointing. Doubt I'll ever step foot in there again. read more

My fiancé brought me here on a Friday night since our usual place was packed and I'm glad cause I won't be going to the old place lol. I ordered the carne asada which came with rice, plantains, salsa, salad, and a cheese stick. I didn't like the cheese stick, but everything else was delicious! He ordered the stewed oxtail which he loved, but there was too much salt for my taste. Our drinks were great and this place will definitely be in heavy rotation. Waitress and crowd were also very friendly. read more

New in NJ and I heard a lot about this place it took me a min to come, I thought it's was Mexican but personally it's more or a Caribbean vibe than Mexican, it's it's ok but it's a small portion for a lot of money, drinks are also a little expensive, love the ambiance though great live music .... read more

I stopped in this place a couple times in the last few months and their variety of food is very nice of you are heading there with a group. I tried their goat dish, fried and boiled plantain, and a few other sides. The food was cooked well and very flavorful. read more

The staff are rude, the have hung up on me several times when I have called to order bc I ask if they have guacamole that day bc they NEVER HAVE it, even though it is on the menu and supposed to come with many of their dishes. I was told by a friend that they are some what discriminatory towards people who are not of Spanish descent. read more

We ordered takeout from here in a COVID-friendly attempt to have a wild Friday night in! I got some sort of grilled chicken and my husband got pork ribs, and we both had massive sides of rice to go along with our meals. The food was pretty okay, just nothing I would be dying to get again soon. I really enjoyed the tres leches cake, but the flan wasn't for me. I would only suggest that they have a better, COVID-friendly method for picking up the food rather than walking through the bar with a lot of unmasked people drinking to get to the register in the back. As a pregnant woman, I wasn't very comfortable doing this, but I was starving and had no choice. I wouldn't come back soon, but I don't regret ordering from here. read more

Had a fabulous time here. Service was amazing and prompt. The food was very authentic and tasted delicious. I felt like i was in Mexico! Cannot wait to go back! read more

I've actually heard a lot about this place. I was anticipating trying it... To be completely honest... This was the furthest mark from an enchilada I have ever had in my life. I eat a lot of enchiladas from a lot of authentic places. This one, just wasn't good to me. It lacked seasoning all around. Hot sauce didn't even save it. The atmosphere was ok. I didn't go to the bar, I think that may be why people frequent this property. If i ever go back it will be just to drink. read more

Chicharron tasted undercooked and all fat. Corn was good and so was the macaroni salad

I ate here once during the pandemic and it was okay. I decided to give them another try eating in as opposed to takeout. The food is awesome! They have Cuban, Dominican, and Jamaican food items on the menu too! read more

This place is the absolute worst . This used to be one of the best spots to go to in Blackwood/Lindenwold . The old staff was amazing . This new staff , won't even service you if they are 30 mins out from closing and you've already been sitting there . We went there at 9pm. They took our orders and the bartenders avoided asking us if we needed anything else for the rest of the time there. They close at 10pm since "Covid" . Then when the bartender bought our check once 10:10 hit , she asked did we need anything else as if she would make it being as though they closed at 10pm. They try to avoid you at all cost once that 930 mark hits . Don't go there . The service sucks . The food is just ok now . We won't be going back. And I used to go weekly. Never again read more

The service has gone down this past year which is really disappointing. I had to wait an 1 hour and 10 minutes for an online order and I didn't get all of my order. The servers are not bilingual which makes it difficult to communicate. I need to learn Spanish because the severs spoke in Spanish and laughed at me. read more

Placed an order through GrubHub tonight and the restaurant failed to include the bulk of my order. How do you forget to include a Stewed Chicken dinner, Beef Empanada and a piece of carrot cake. That was over 1/2 of the overall order? This was my first time ordering from the restaurant, and definitely my last time. Tried to support a local business, but they failed miserably. read more

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of mexican food but this quesadilla is solid. A great place for lunch. The quesadilla was soft, filled with cheese, and the chicken/peppers/onions just give it so much flavor. Will have to try out other things read more

Holy crap this was terrible. They actually cooked a rancid fish and sent it out the door. We got it and it smelled horrid. I tried a bite and almost vomited. There's no way they didn't know this was bad when they cooked it, you should be ashamed for sending this product like that. Rice and beans were dry and clumped together and the yuca was dry? I can't even phantom how you managed to ruin such a bland item to start with? Wow just wow. I'd take Taco Bell 100x over this place. read more
