    Tacos Barbacoa
    Leonard S.

    Most authentic Mexican food in Cherry Hill by far. I've been to several places in the area and most of the time I am disappointed by high prices and dry, bland meat. This place is the exception. Carnitas and barbacoa are juicy, tender, and have deep flavor. I wish I could have gotten the cabeza, but they were out of stock today. I'll definitely have to come back to try it.

    Beef and chorizo tacos with rice and beans
    Nik K.

    I had my usual taco craving and decided to look for a place that was close by. I searched and found La Nova. I'm not sure how I ever missed this place before since I used to frequent the area a lot when I lived in CH. Anyway, I found La Nova and planned my visit there. Parking was plentiful, so I found a spot close to the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by a warm, friendly young lady who handed me a menu. I quickly reviewed the menu and decided what I wanted to try. For my appetizer I tried the nachos that came with queso fresco and refried beans. For my entree I went with the steak and chorizo tacos, rice and beans. The nachos arrived quickly. They were delicious. The refried beans and queso were perfectly paired and the hot sauce provided by the restaurant was soooo good. It gave me the right amount of heat and flavor together. A few mins later, my tacos, rice and beans arrived. My tacos were completely packed with meat, just the way I like 'em. The chorizo really elevated the flavor of the beef. The refried beans actually accentuated the flavor of the rice once I mixed them together. The sides were good, but the highlights of my experience were the chorizo and nachos. I think La Nova has a solid foundation and is a staple for those seeking to have a traditional Mexican meal in Pennsauken. I would revisit the restaurant again if I were in the area.

    Went to La Nova Mexican Restaurant 5245 Marlton Pike W Unit D, Pennsauken Township, NJ 08109 It wasn't far from Brandons Dr appointment. Pretty easy to get too. Small business Waitress was nice and everything. Mexican deco and music. The food was really good ( spicy) Ordered Barri tacos. Rice and beans, Chicken taquitos, squash blossom quesadilla, & steak quesadilla Had Watermelons and Melon Fresco Came in huge mugs. Definitely recommend

    Amazing!!! The best Mexican food we've had in years. It may not look like much from the outside, but often the best food comes from a small local place like this. Don't miss out on the salsa. And be warned that the sauces have some spicy. But yummy all around! We'll be back.

    2 of 3 Bistec y Chorizo tacos.
    Kelly P.

    We stopped here on a Friday evening in July for tacos after reading some of the reviews. The reviews were spot on. We each had orders of 3 tacos. My husband had the Bistec y Chorizo (Steak & Sausage) and I had the Birria (brisket). Both were made to order and delicious. I also had a Horchata and my husband a Mango Fresh water drink. We also had an order of chips and freshly made pico de gallo. Everything was delicious, the service was prompt and courteous. In terms of ambiance, it is a taqueria, so it is very casual, but they do provide table service and serve on china plates with silverware. We would definitely come back if we were in the area. These are tacos of the flavor and quality we have had in California where we used to live.

    This place is absolutely incredible. Very unassuming on the outside but that's how you know it's good and authentic!!! Some of the BESTTTTT Mexican food I have EVER had

I vascilated between 3 and 4 stars, so I'll instead provide a breakdown: Menu: 5 stars. The menus are easy to read, detailed, and organized. The menus aren't your standard laminated menus. They have a thick, very pretty, sturdy cover. They provide the prices for different meat options. I appreciate that many menu items can be or are gluten free. Ambience: 5 stars. I am a total sucker for supporting small, privately owned businesses! Bonus points for being immigrant/POC/Black-owned business! The restaurant was small but still with a good amount of wiggle room for dining in. Everything was clean and somewhat modern for what was described to me as "a hole in the wall" (in a good way), as I was expecting it to be a little dated and dingy. It wasn't. It was bright, cool, and airy. Service: 3-stars. service was mid. Our server didn't seem overly-excited to be there. He communicated well, but with very little friendliness or enthusiasm. I'd say, at best, his demeanor was neutral, and I can live with that, considering I've encountered a lot of times where people in the service industry act like they don't appreciate your business and are doing you a favor just by taking your order, smh. Food: 3.5 stars. Presentation was beautiful! Very well-done! Unfortunately, I found my tres moles enchiladas lacking that "pow" in taste that I love about mole. I also love my enchiladas drowned in mole sauce, especially eating with chicken breast, which can be a very mild/bland and dry meat. The chicken itself wasn't necessarily dry, but because it was chicken breast, and the feel of the dish was on the dry side. That being said, my fellow diners LOVED their dishes and said they'd come back again! Unfortunately, they don't provide reviews on Yelp, so I invite you to take my review as a grain of salt and try this restaurant out for yourself.

Located on the main strip on Haddon Ave, we wound up here quite by accident. When we walked in, and it was funeral parlor empty. The inside is nice, spacious and super clean, but zero customers had us feeling "uh oh." But our server came around the corner and ushered us into an adjoining room, equally as nice, that had a few other patrons dining. Fears alleviated, we sat down and got to ordering. The menu is great, with something from everyone. We got the birria burrito for me, lobster tacos for the Misses, mac and cheese for the Little One, and a side of Sweet Plantains for everyone. FIRST, god lord almighty....them sweet plantains are MAGICAL! They taste like French Toast. OMG......SOOO good. The rest of the food had an extremely high bar to live up to, and it did. Everything was fast, fresh and delicious. Even the price was tolerable. Our server was extremely nice, though I wish he would have written stuff down, as we had to remind him a couple of times about our requests. No biggie. We will, 100% be back, and if it's anything like last time, I have a feeling Paloma will be moving onto the 5-Star list quickly.

They got rid of Stacy's mom so I went with miller lites which were on the warm side and 7 bucks a pint which is outrageous. 7 dollars for a warm miller lite is insane. My pork chops were tiny but may have been larger if they weren't cooked into dry pucks with a bone. The cold hard rice they were served with did not make them better. Our chips were cold and on the stale side. I used to get the habanero salsa with them but now they charge 4 bucks for about 2 ounces. We ordered our child chicken fingers which were absolutely disgusting I feel bad for making him eat them after trying one. It was bad enough they were unseasoned and dry but some how sorta soggy and tasting like fryer oil. He didn't eat any of the cold dry French fries and after trying one I don't blame him. My wife's opinion of her food was eh it was just what ever. Annoying us at the table was fruit flys and the menus were dirty. Unfortunately my little guy had to use the men's room and it was really disgusting stinky and loaded with flys. We opted to skip dessert. This was our favorite Mexican place and sadly we won't be back. Everything on the menu went up in price by a lot and even more if you're paying with a credit/debit card. The quality is definitely not here for the price. Also no longer on the menu is single tacos. When we arrived at dinner time it was fairly empty and it always used to be packed. Now we know why. What a major disappointment. Totally bummed and also not happy with the price of dinner.
