    Tortillas
    Louisa L.

    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!

    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!

    Deliciousness

    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

    Enchiladas verde, emolada, tacos dorado, lil' tamale

    Passed by this place countless times and finally after 2 years, we ordered three dishes and a tamale. THEY. BLEW. OUR. MINDS. We got the taco doradoes with chicken, enchiladas verde so rojas with steak, and emolada. All had distinctly different flavors and amazing flavors. The enchilada was refreshing, the emolada was deep and rich, the taco dorados were satisfyingly crunchy, and that little tamale was big on flavor. I am so mad we didn't order from here sooner! Very clean too. Will definitely be ordering again.

    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.

    THIS PLACE SLAPS…read more Breakfast and dinner are 5/5. Such great food, great service, and an absolutely beautiful hybrid patio area. The drinks are incredible as well while being fairly priced. I did not think this place would be so good but it's found its way up on my top 5 list in southern NJ. Tastefully thought out menu that does everything so well, and it's not even that expensive!

    I normally love Cinder Bar, but unfortunately, after my experience yesterday, I don't think I can…read morereturn. I have been coming here since they first opened, and it has always been one of my favorite spots. Over the years, the food has consistently been great and I've always had good experiences with the service, which makes yesterday especially disappointing. From the beginning, it seemed like our server had far too many tables and was overwhelmed with the workload. We initially ordered our appetizers, and when she brought them out, we told her we were ready to put in our entrées. She said okay, but then did not return to our table for another 20 minutes to actually take our order. We were left sitting there waiting despite already telling her we were ready to order. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and that servers can be stretched thin. However, the lack of attention to our table made the entire experience frustrating, especially at a restaurant where I've had such consistently good service in the past. Unfortunately, the food was also not up to the quality I've come to expect from Cinder Bar. To make matters worse, after eating there, I became extremely sick with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. I normally wouldn't let one bad experience erase years of positive ones, but between the extremely slow service, disappointing food, and becoming sick afterward, this experience was bad enough that I no longer feel comfortable returning. It's genuinely disappointing because Cinder Bar has been one of my favorite restaurants since they opened, and I have recommended it to others many times. I really hope management looks into both the staffing situation and what may have happened with the food that day, because yesterday's experience was completely different from the Cinder Bar I've known and enjoyed for years.
