    Small Dining Area

    BEST kept secret ... tucked away in the back of a Mexican market in Williamstown. We completely stumbled upon this place online and haven't looked back since. Mostly everyone speaks Spanish ... but they'll get the (one) guy who speaks English to come speak to us especially when we call to place our order. Everything has been so tasty ... but I'd recommend staying away from some of the prepared daily foods at the end of the day that may have been sitting out in the trays for too long. Otherwise, the made to order items such as the fish, burritos, and tacos are always excellent. There's also usually many varieties of agua frescas as well.

    Little hidden gem in a Mexican grocery store. The food was fantastic, I got the fajitas and serving size was huge. Service was good, very authentic, most people seemed to speak Spanish only though. Be prepared to order in Spanish!

    Tortillas

    TUH! I have been in and out of this store so many times... had no idea they made food in there until today. LemmeTellYew... I am on my 3rd bite and my taste buds are in a euphoric moment. It is absolutely delicious- they have a menu written on a board (so you already know it's about to be bomb). It's written in Spanish, don't be shy about pointing lol. The gentleman that helped me spoke English so no worries hahaha. It came with fresh tortillas and I got a chicken tamale that I know will be amazing. Oh... prices are reasonable. Found my new spot!

    The food is delicious and tasty. My shredded chicken tostados was spicy. I enjoyed my meal. The roasted chicken and rice was already prepare in the food display case. The atmosphere was great, Latin music playing, place was clean, and there is a store attached to the restaurant. You pay for your meal in the store. I will be returning to this restaurant.

    Best taco de lengua I've ever had!! I got the missus the bistek & cecina. I can't wait for her to try it.. I was salivating so bad behind my mask that I ate my tacos right in the parking lot!! I'm coming back for more

    Great little gem of a restaurant I found while shopping in the food market. Real authentic and fresh. They make the tortillas right there in front of you and they have a ton of options to choose from. Plenty of tables and chairs to eat in or if you prefer to take out. I highly recommend giving it a try

    Language barrier. Stick to the menu. Agua Fresca is delicious. Fresh corn tortillas. Way too much food.

    Excellent new Mexican place! We tried the lengua tacos, chicken enchiladas, tamales, and horchata…read more My fav was the lengua tacos. The lengua was super flavorful, the tortilla was the perfect texture and had good corn flavor, and the onions provided just the right amount of sweet and crispy contrast. Portion size of enchiladas was very generous and the tamales were freshly made (only available on Saturdays)! The service was very friendly. The restaurant does get a bit smoky when they're cooking the meat, but the interior is nice. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

    I have to start by saying, I'm diverting from my usual Yelp format for this one. I'm not annoyed…read moreI'm writing this review. I'm not annoyed that my food took way longer than I was told. I'm not annoyed that I understand why...because 3 really nice women were working like crazy in what was certainly a crazy Cinco de Mayo. I'm annoyed with myself that I said "this food had better be spectacular for this wait". And I'm glad to say....it's sure as hell was spectacular. The wait was understandable. It was Cinco de Mayo. Anyone from this area knows that no one does that holiday like Williamstown. Just kidding, we are so out of to much we celebrate the holiday in March. That being said, they were slammed. Like, slammed. Overworked, crushing it with their determination, the only thing I would recommend is being a little more up front with wait times. Trust me, people aren't going anywhere if you serve food like this. Fortunately, I live close by so the back and forth wasn't an issue. The food....was incredible. I mean, tender chicken. Seasoned perfectly. Fresh lettuce and tomato. Rice that was fluffy, sticky, and flavorful. I even loved the beans. The nachos were huge and plentiful with the right stuff and not the chip stuff. The chicken enchiladas were outstanding. The rice was so delicate and delicious. I'm not even sure what I ordered but the green salsa let you know who was boss. I gained 5 pounds eating a quarter of that stuff, and I can't wait to pack on some more pounds when I eat it for breakfast. This place is a gold mine. Can't wait to go back.

I was able to make a reservation ahead of time, which was super convenient, and our party of 5 was seated right away. Our server was okay as he had a "chill" demeanor. He answered our questions about the menu. We were able to get our drinks, appetizers, and entrées ordered in a timely manner. We had just missed happy hour, unfortunately. The all-you-can-eat crab legs came out with 3 legs on the first round and 2 legs for the refills. The calamari was tasty, and the steak was cooked well with great flavor. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great. They also started trivia around 8 PM, which was a nice touch to the evening.

The drink selection is almost endless! I went with the house IPA The Jersey G.O.A.T. Jersey Blue Haze by Double Nickel on draft and smooth as silk! Yum! My wife went with a margarita flight: 4 generous mini margaritas of different flavors with all the trimmings salt etc! She loved it! As for the food? The GOAT did not disappoint! My wife had the Mahi Mahi over Jasmine rice...a nice portion of moist fish cooked perfectly! As for me I went simple. 4 cheese Mac n cheese, delicious and in a cast iron pot that kept the Mac and cheese ooey gooey throughout the meal! I figured I'd try the GRILLED wings....good move! I went for the honey hot version.... Cooked just right and bursting with flavor! Our kids had the Mac n Cheese also 1 original and 2 went with the Buffalo chicken cutlets on top...they all inhaled those plates without a complaint ! You gotta get to the JERSEY GOAT! We will be returning soon for more menu items and to try some more of their various adult beverages! I'm eyeing up the Big A** Chicken Parm for the next visit!
