    Birria tacos
    Thiago D.

    Great little gem in Passaic for authentic Mexican food. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept cards, but no worries if you forget because they do have an ATM inside. There is Mexican decor everywhere, so you really feel like you're in Mexico when you step inside! Servers are friendly and food comes out pretty quick. We went with the large guacamole and it was a good starter. Birria tacos are delicious and highly recommended. If you order the chicken quesadillas like I did you might not even need a starter because I was absolutely stuffed with the 3 pieces it came with. Tasty though!

    It's taco Tuesday! It's starting to feel a bit more like spring now a days so hubby and I went to try this spot that my friend Sheila recommended. Overall the place is beautiful. It's spacious and has all kinds of Mexican art on the walls. No one really greeted us upon entering so we went to where the bar area was and asked if we could just sit anywhere. We went straight to the bathrooms soon after sitting down and being given menus. I really appreciate a clean bathroom especially during these times and they had a Fabuloso clean smelling one ;) We came for the $1 tacos and the hype of how good they were. I ordered two steak and two chorizo. They were delicious! Definitely made my Mexican heart happy. My husband had two steak, two cabeza (tender cow head meat), and one chicken. He had me try the cabeza ones and they were so tender we had to take some to go. One thing I didn't really appreciate was that our server didn't really introduce herself. It would have been nice to know her name. Would of made the experience a bit more amicable. She never once asked how we were liking it or what we thought. Or if we needed anything else. She had about 5 or 6 tables so she seemed busy but still no excuse. I used to be a waitress but I learned that just communicating a bit more will go a very long way. It felt like we were telling her what to do next every step of the way until we left. Her attitude about that was not very good either she seemed annoyed by us. Overall I enjoyed the food and the space despite the lack of service. I will definitely be back and recommend to my friends and family. How can you beat the $1 tacos! We ended up getting 14 tacos all together and two drinks for $20. Very affordable.

    The best dollar taco I have ever tasted so far. I keep coming back! My fav taco to order are the chorizo and bistec ones. And you also have the option to order the taco with one tortilla since they normally come with two. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is that they only accept cash.

    Live music plus dollar tacos? You can't go wrong with either or. The tacos are truly worth the $1 dollar. They also have different Mexican drinks, where the cantarito is one of their best. It's a combination of juices with some light tequila, sprinkled with Mexican spicy candy on the edges. Definitely recommend visiting this place if you're around the area

    Tacos were good but the service was awful, I ordered over $100 in tacos since I was having a get together with my family, I asked for onions & nopales but the only thing I received was tacos no nopales & no onions.

When we arrived the restaurant wasn't too busy, but since we made reservation we got a table right away. Inside of the restaurant looked nice, several tables and a full service bar. The menu had a good mix of Mexican and Peruvian dishes. I started with the mango butterfly lemonade that was such a tasty drink. For appetizer we got the Flautists, a dish full of cheese and guacamole, but the shells so hard from deep fry. For entree I got the steak burrito. It was huge, filled with decent steak, lots of rice and other ingredients. We also had ceviche de mariscos, which was full of semi steamed seafood items. The chicken quesadilla was actually good. The service was fine overall. Staff members checked on us time to time. The dishes came out in short intervals. Overall it seemed like a okay dining spot to me.

    Nice local Mexican Peruvian fusion restaurant. They have a Parking lot which is great…read more Chicken quesadillas is huge. Burrito is huge. It's a size of my forearm. Both were pretty good. Warm and good flavor. I was eating that quesadilla for 2 days. I want to order sopa de mariscos but either I slipped or he heard me wrong, I got ceviche de mariscos. Couldn't really enjoy much of the dish. I don't eat raw food. But really big portion. People who like ceviche will enjoy it. Lots FIFA decoration. It's not a big restaurant. But it's a good size for locals.
