    We have driven past this place many times. With so many restaurants closed on Memorial Day. We decided to give this place a try. It's on a busy Rt.1 highway. One of the reasons why we never stopped. As soon as you walk in, you immediately smell the food cooking on the side of the restaurant where the slightly open kitchen is. What better way to look through the menu then to smell what's cooking at the same time. Here is what we ordered: - Watermelon Drink (so good & refreshing) - Chicken in Mexican Style - Steak in Green Sauce - Whole Fish w/Seafood Mix on Mexican Sauce I posted the pics before writing this review and got an overwhelming response on the pic of the fish. Yes, it's as delicious as it looks. It was grilled to perfection and super tasty. My son even ate the eyeballs and cheeks. The owner said that it's one of her favorite dishes to eat as well. Honestly, she looked so happy when my son chose this dish. She smiled, her eyes widened and nodded her head with a look of, you're going to be in for a surprise. My husband and I loved our chicken and beef dishes as well, no complaints. I especially love the tomatoes and green peppers in my dish. Let's just say that there was nothing left on all of our plates! As we were leaving, we wished the new owners much success. They took over the business a couple of years ago. The cook peeked his head out of the kitchen to ask how we liked the food and we all gave him a big thumbs up. I think we made his day!

    This place used to be called Los Contreras, but I believe it is the same menu as when it was. This place was always excellent, inexpensive, delicious authentic Mexican food, but I feel like it's only gotten better. We just ordered out some burritos and a combination plate and everything was absolutely delicious. It's somehow gotten better! We moved a little further away from it recently, but we'll still be coming here when we're in the mood for great real Mexican food!

    I skipped on the green sauce because it was really spicy.

    This spot is a must visit! From the moment you walk in, the colorful and authentic decor makes you…read morefeel like you are in a Latin American or country. I've been here a couple months ago, and it's wild to see how much it has grown in popularity. The last few times we have visited, it has been packed or overflowing with customers. A good sign, if you ask me! The tacos are uniquely curated and not your typical selection. I had a Smashburger taco, because I love ground beef, and also a delicious shrimp taco. Any one you get, it is tasty, fresh, prepared right in front of your eyes, and my best of all- so colorful! There is a salsa/sauce/lime bar, which is constantly refilled and has plenty of to-go cups and boxes. I cannot recommend the Agua de Horchata drink enough. When I see Horchata on a menu, I automatically gravitate towards it. Here, the drink is not too thick or overwhelming in flavor. It is nicely balanced with the cinnamon and milky tastes. If you get the 16 oz, the drink comes in a cute square shaped cup. Love this taco joint and coming by every so often to see what is new on the menu and how well they are doing. There is plenty of parking in the plaza lot. If you are in the area, I highly recommend. Definitely worth a shot!

It's a curse because everything is so effing delicious and it's so far from my home! One of my daughters recommended Taco Empreso as she is a regular customer. She even spotted my nephew eating here one evening, who came all the way from Brooklyn lol. So there were three of us, who ordered an assortment of items to share. Let's start with the tacos... We ordered the Baja shrimp, Baja fish, steak, birria, asado chicken and shrimp Ensenada. Every single taco was finger licking with distinct flavors that were sooo sooo good. I could not decide on a favorite. We also shared birria fries, which were AWESOME! If I ever return... you know the rest lol. The meat was juicy, flavorful and melted in my mouth. The marinaded chicken and beef were succulent and the flavors subtly stood out. We also ordered a steak burrito, which was Cali-style with fries instead of rice. The steak was flavored, tender, and crave-able. A popular must have! We added a birria quesadilla, which was also epic. Lastly, the frozen pina coladas! Get it! The food is road trip worthy! Finally, there was a consistent line, but these dudes were so organized. The orders were getting out in a timely manner. It's also worth the wait!!!

The only dish I don't like is the Mexican Paella- mussels were not good and the calamari was chewy and the overall dish was very very heavy with butter.

My chicken breast was good (everything else on the plate was bland), and my daughter's green enchiladas were ok. My husband's birria quesadilla was very good according to him and my daughter. The service was awful! The waitress handed us iPad menus and never said to order on the tablet or if she was going to come back for our order. The menu is not extensive, just fyi. You can only get taco platters with all the same taco meat, not a variety. The enchiladas are also only 1 way for all three on the plate. Whatever...I can deal with that, if the food was great. It's not. The black beans were room temp with no seasoning, the corn on the cob - no salt, no butter. The guac was also bland. We were never offered water refills and she never asked us if we wanted a drink until after our meals came. We didn't, but it was said with a huge sigh and eye-roll. As a side note, this was a grown woman waiting on us, like an abuela, not a teenager. She never came back to our table, until she saw another waitress come over and bring us boxes for leftovers - that we had to go to the bar to ask for. Oh, important point - the restaurant was not busy, so she was not in the weeds. The restaurant could be an amazing spot if the service was better and they seasoned the food. It is NOT worth the money.
