    Pulled pork empanada
    Brian L.

    The red food truck is located in lot next to the laundromat, behind the housing development at the T-intersection of Tices and Old Bridge Turnpike. The truck and two other semi-permanent vehicles take up about a third of the parking lot, leaving the rest available for customer parking. All of the empanadas appear to cost a flat $3. Drinks are $1. Specialty items cost from $3 to $8. Try the yuca with mojo (olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt), which is like mashed potatoes but not as heavy. Your order will be served in paper trays or white paper bags, or in styrofoam containers for larger orders. Major credit cards are accepted.

    The shells are crispy. The fillings are tasty. The service was good. Not bad considering it is a food truck

    Authentic Mexican cuisine at its finest! Since discovering this gem over the last summer, I've been…read morein practically every week! I've had flautas, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and more and I have never been let down. I absolutely love the chicken tinga and salsa verde here. The chicken tinga burrito is my go-to order and I always request extra salsa verde because it is the best salsa to ever touch my lips! I could literally drink it...Everything is so fresh and tasty! The inside has beautiful cultural decor and plenty of tables. It is a BYOB restaurant so feel free to bring your favorite adult beverage. They can be quite busy at times, but service and quality have never fallen during rush hour. If you dine in, you'll start off with fresh chips and salsa verde, which if you haven't caught on yet, you will love. I've attached some pictures from this visit and from previous visits and yes...the burritos are *always* that big and bursting at the seams. If I had to choose my last meal, it would be La China Poblana, hands down.

    I'm so glad that we stumbled across La China Poblana about a year ago. After 10+ successful visits…read moreand many great to-go orders, this has to be one of the most authentic and consistent Mexican restaurants in New Jersey. The burritos are always packed, the presentation of the molcajete for two was amazing, and the quality of their chicken, steak and pork is always great. The salsa verde is 100/10 - I could drink it! You absolutely cannot go wrong with the staples - tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tostadas, fajitas, tamales... they do it all, and they do it WELL. The service is also great when dining in. The decor of the place feels like you're somewhere in the southwest - beautiful colors and imagery on every table, chair, and wall.

    We've been to MiLina several times in the last year. I enjoy their NY strip and my wife will…read moresometimes go for their breaded pork loin. Delicious both, with portions that demand a doggy bag. My favorite sides are red beans and rice, also consistently great. MiLina is a very friendly place. We are always warmly welcomed. Servers are attentive and not overbearing. We do not speak Spanish and--on occasion--communication with a server has been slow, but always warm. The staff wants to please. The front room has music some nights and can be noisy, but the back rooms are quiet and service there is impeccable. On our last visit, our server overheard us talking about this meal being for our wedding anniversary. After our main course was cleared, we were presented with a dessert on the house. The plate read, in chocolate sauce, "Happy Anniversary" and was a lovely way to end the meal. MilIna has replaced our NYC go-to steakhouse. Great food and service, close to home.

Stopped by one day ahead to make sure all was set- left a 200.00 deposit since our party was for 10pp, selected 4 apps and 2 pitchers of sangria (white and red) to set on table ready for the guest. They loved the red. We were setup in the first room which was perfect, not to be hidden in a corner - the locals might be a bit loud at the bar so don't be offended fyi. The food was great, as you know that I will call it out if it wasn't- served hot and a good portion. Service was also great from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, great vibes and most of all the birthday celebration woke up everyone as they pump up the beat and sing happy birthday in English and Spanish with a shot of aqua ardiente! Plenty of parking and they also have an outdoor patio- keep up the great job and thank you for your great hospitality!
