    Chicken buritto, chicken empanada, and passionfruit drink

    Found this lovely little spot for delicious Mexican eats in my neighborhood. Clean place with wonderful polite service staff.

    I love the staff here they are very friendly and accommodating. I had an order for 5 at 7:46 and they close at 8 but were able to have my food ready by 8:01! (Sorry! I left a tip for the hassle) The food is amazing and priced very good for the portions! and the restaurant has a beautiful homey ambience with beautiful artwork of aztec folk lore which was so cool!

    Carnitas, always stuffed!

    Ok, so let me start off by saying that they absolutely deserve a 5 start review. Hands down. The very first time I went there we were greeted nicely and attended very quickly. The young woman working the front is sooo nice to anyone that comes in. I now come here at least once if not twice a week. The Mexican food is AUTHENTIC as it comes!!! I'm never unhappy with whatever dish we pick that day. I highly recommend anyone try their nachos and their tacos. I've ordered from here enough times to tell you that they truly put effort into their food and making sure you are satisfied. Fairly priced as well for the PORTION you get. I've only had one other thing from their menu than my usual orders, and that was the oxtail with rice and beans and hands down some of the best oxtail I've ever had. Truly feels like your eating homemade food. I hope they continue to grow in the community. It's the only Mexican place anywhere near the area!

    Patron burger, 2 huge patties with bacon and pepper jack cheese.  Cooked to order.  Amazing and yoooge.  Only $8.50.

    The Hutton has been on my list of spots to try for so long, but out of sight out of mind sometimes…read more We finally took a short walk and landed here for dinner over the weekend. On a Saturday evening there was quite a long wait for the patio but the 3 picnic tables outside were free and clear...perfect! Delicious food Great cocktails Kindest staff that brought water out for our pup All good things. We got the apple guac to start and loved that it was like a sweeter, chuckier guacamole. It was served with plantain chips and great for a hotter night app. For my main, I got the Grain Bowl. So good, so filling and I had plenty left over for lunch the next day. It had quinoa, tofu, chickpeas, yams, and a green goddess dressing. This will officially be added to the rotation of lunch/dinner spot. Cannot wait to come back.

    Finally stopped at the Hutton for some food. I've been walking past this place for the past year or…read moreso. We ordered the burger LTO and the chicken caprese. The sides were Caesar salad and fries. It was delicious, the server was quick and attentive making sure we were happy with our meal. The presentation of the food was superb it was a nice stop and I am sure I'll be back at some point. Seemed to be a nice dive bar in the heights not many places like this in the area.

    Very bare Bones restaurant. The waitresses barely speak English, so if you're not Portuguese you…read morewill have a hard time ordering. There's a little man who works here. He's the main bartender and he has a terrible attitude. I came in here for about four or five Fridays in a row because my job is right down the block. The buffet is pretty good sometimes. It really is Hit or Miss. The buffet was fantastic some days, but then other days the buffet had barely any food that was good. The buffet is all you can eat and it's $20 if you don't get steak. If you want steak with your buffet, it's 25 and the steak is unlimited. I only got the steak once and it was kind of dry. The food was good but what really turned me off was the service. The man behind the bar has such a bad attitude and we came in here five Fridays in a row and he never really greeted us. He would kind of grunt and throw menus right in front of where we were sitting .I could tell by the way he served us and looked at us that he didn't like me and my partner. Even on our receipt he would write Americans on it. I guess because we weren't Portuguese he didn't respect us. We would leave good tips every time and try to talk to the waitresses and him even using Google translate to try and have a conversation. He just had the most terrible attitude I've ever experienced at a restaurant. We would come in here Friday at around 12:00 and it would be dead. Probably because everybody knows this place sucks. Last Friday when we arrived there was a carpenter cutting into the walls making a terrible loud noise. I even had to tell him hey it's lunch time. You should be doing this work in the morning. I really wanted to leave but we were there to eat and I didn't want to look for another place. I ordered picana which is a typical Portuguese steak. It came super dry and very thin. The only great dish I've ever had here was there their yucca soup. That was terrific. My partner raved about their garlic shrimp. I would not return, especially since we found a place called Sol-mar right around the corner. Better food and way better service. I think the Bartender needs to learn how to serve Americans and not just Portuguese people. I would never return to this restaurant.

    Beware! Not impressed by any means. Service sucked. Not sure what it was , maybe because I don't…read morespeak Portuguese but there were at least 6 bartenders and the service sucked. Had to flag down someone each time I needed something...never was 'checked on'. Also check your bill prior to signing...the automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill without out asking OR informing. Horrible and deceptive ...seems to prey on those not paying attention to their bill. ONLY good thing was the food. Good portions but not great. I have had better food and same prices in Ironbound and I will not be back to this establishment
