Chicken Burrito ... so delicious!

Absolutely the BEST Mexican food ever!!! I'm so glad this restaurant is so close to where I live! Absolutely the BEST Mexican food hands down!!

Pollo Guisado
Stephanie M.

Came across This new place with my classmate, Very nice Dećor, very clean and spacious. Was acknowledged as soon as we walked in. Placed my drink Order arrived quickly the taste was Great not to sweet and just the right amount of liquor. Chips were brought out the to table Right after the drinks Placed my food order came out fast my quesadilla was Amazing! And my friends pollo quisado was very well seasoned. Loved my whole experience will be going back to try more items off the menu. Also really Great Prices.

Delightful decor.

We had vegetarian enchiladas and toothpaste. They were delicious! We didn't realize we had arrived during happy hour. The waiter gave us the happy hour price on our margaritas without us even asking. I wish I had gotten hus name because he was a fantastic waiter. The restaurant has lots of atmosphere. We would definitely go back next time we are in town.​

Hubby and I are looking for a cocktail bar on a Saturday night and found this fairly new restaurant in Hackensack. So glad we did. It was a nice small place with 2 bars and roughly a dozen tables. We had the tequila sunrise, pina colada and one more we can't remember but have the picture attached. They did not disappoint. We also had the ceviche mixto and the red snapper. The ceviche and the cocktails are a perfect combo. Service was great and servers checked on us often. Food came out fairly quickly. Our server Shadie (hope we got it right) was also the bartender and she did a great job on both. She mentioned that they often have karaoke night on Fridays and Saturdays. We'll certainly be coming back and try the other drinks with the ceviche again.

Vegetarian Nachos

In the midst of expensive overpriced Bergen county - this place is a hidden gem!!! I honestly don't know how they keep their prices so good (almost every meal was $10-12, and kids 2-7 eat free on Sundays!!), their service was very good, and their food is equally great. We loved their seasonings and their portion sizes are more than generous!! We will be going back very soon!!! Thank you so much!

Guacamole

Newcomer on Main Street serves up one of the best Birria Tacos in town. We weren't sure what we were in for so we tried a vast assortment to get a feel of the quality of Mexican faire and they delivered! Guacamole is 10 out for f 10 and the Taco Burrito was YUM! Cocktails were good and the service was pretty quick and hospitable. As for ambiance, it is mediocre, therefore not a date spot if you are looking to impress. Floors need an update, would recommend eliminating the front bar to add seating (there is a bar in the back as well), get rid of the atm at the entrance and add a touch of authentic decor/art. Come for the quality Mexican cuisine and the kind service.

Mango margaritas
Julianne W.

This place is definitely worth the drive. The restaurant is relatively small so just be mindful and plan ahead. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and how it was decorated. Very "day of the dead" theme even tho it was December. We went for taco Tuesday and all tacos are half off which was amazing. The tacos are pretty standard but I did love the options they had. The downside was the margaritas are made in the morning pre-made and you can't modify the type of tequila in it. They also didn't have frozen margaritas because the machine was broken. The guac with chips was really good. Our server was pretty attentive to us, always making sure we had full drinks.

There is a good selection of premium sakes, Japanese whiskies and craft beers, and a small menu of well-executed Japanese dishes. This is a cozy and authentic spot for a date or if you want to have sophisticated drinks. There are no cocktails per se but they do make a good highball using premium whiskey. I recommend checking this place out soon before word spreads.

Drinks were reasonably priced but the whole experience falls apart at the bar. I went here on a Thursday night, and was floored by how terrible the bartenders were. There were two of them working, and I would say the place was just minorly crowded. It literally took about 10-15 minutes for the bartender to even ask me what I wanted (A beer and a simple mixed drink). He then proceeded to walk away inbetween each step of service... giving me the beer, putting ice in my glass, pouring my liquor, and then the mixer. Then when he was done, I waited a bit longer for him to allow me to pay. I was also surrounded by a group of others who were just standing around trying to close out their tabs (a process which involves the bartender giving the card to their manager who takes it back into the kitchen to run the card... which I'm sorry but is completely inefficient and takes too long and just looks shady). I left after my second drink because I could have fermented the vodka myself before getting served a third time. It's a shame because the space is well done and the music was, in my opinion, really good.

New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

Despite living in this area for 15 years, I had no clue a club like Feathers was so nearby. Thanks…read moreto my good friend Eloy, a superstar Yelp Elite, who organized a meetup with few other Elites at Feathers. He also told us about the parking lot across the club where everyone parks conveniently to visit the club. We went to the club around 11pm, cover was $10 per person. The security at the door was impressive as the security personnel checked our IDs and had metal detector. Upon entering, we saw the club had free for guests to celebrate their 47th anniversary. The club had two floors. Both floor had bars and separate DJs jamming. First floor was more for hangout and gossip. Second floor had the larger dance floor where most people were partying. The DJ on second floor had some really good bits, but at times some dull ones too. There was also security personnel on second floor as well. They also got an outdoor backyard like place with benches and shacks for guests to hangout. Here they also placed a bar for guests to hangout and have drinks. Overall we had a wonderful hour and a half here. We had drinks, lots of dance groves and finally some nice chit chat in the outdoor space. Now that we had the experience, we will come to Feathers more often than going all the way to the city for clubbing.

Honestly I never knew this place until a Yelp friend brought us for a fun night…read more $10 entrance fee. 2 floors and an outside area. All playing music. We were mostly on the 2nd floor. Music was great. Mix of millennial and current music. Go-Go boys came in around midnight. That was a wonderful surprise. 2 bars on top, 1 at the first level and 1 at outside area. Bartenders were very friendly and efficient. Drink was good. It was the 47 anniversary so there was some free food, which was cool but I didn't eat any. Overall a solid spot for good music and night out. I definitely will bring more friends here.

The space is pretty lively and would be a great place to watch a sports event. Appreciate that the space has different types of seating areas from traditional dining tables to a big bar area and a lounge area in the middle. It can get loud in there so I wouldn't go there if you're looking for an intimate vibe. The staff is pretty friendly and do a good job of attending to the patrons. The food is where it was a bit disappointing to me. I can appreciate the wide variety of items on the menu, but not when the quality varies so much. We ordered a few pasta dishes (one that was on the daily special), a few taco dishes, an order of wings and the brussel sprouts. All of the pasta dishes were huge disappoints. They looked like pasta dishes from Applebees. The sauces were very runny and the kids pastas were the most basic pastas that were way overpriced for what they were. My daughter who loves pastas only ate about 1/3 of it and told me she didn't like it. The wings were dry and not saucy enough. The tacos were OK. The brussel sprouts were the only standout dish that we ordered. I liked their extensive draft beer menu though. Lots of variety to choose from and the drinks were fresh. Overall, I'd certainly come back here and hope that I pick some better food choices or a big improvement on the food quality, but a fun place to hang out at.
