    Halal Mexican food in New Brunswick on Rutgers campus. Best way to describe this place would be like a better version of Chipotle. The interior is gorgeous and the staff was friendly and helpful. Been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I actually did because the food and portion sizes were good. We even had some leftovers. You can choose from a variety of options like bowls, burritos, quesadillas. We got steak quesadillas and a chicken bowl. It is rather pricey considering it is on a college campus and is fast casual food category. I don't believe there is any reason for a quesadilla to cost $15-16. Also parking was difficult and limited.

    Went to Nacho bae for the first time and it was really good. it held up to then expectation i had. The vibe was cute inside and the employees was really nice and friendly. Helped and gave suggestions based on fan faves of other customers. Food was really good..it hit the spot after a long day. I had gotten the Bae Bowl and Quesadilla. Their fresh veggies really made the food really appealing. also, the sauces they had were just so yummy like OG sauce. I will def go back when i'm craving a mexican :)

    Food taste really good and fresh! They have a decent drink selection. Service was great they helped walk us through the ordering process...it is really similar to a chipotle or a qudoba except for the fact that they have halal meat . I got chicken and ground beef and it was all in all a good spot to have lunch .... I could not finish the bowl so now I have leftovers me and my friend should have shared

    I tried Nacho Bae for the first time today. The staff were really friendly and the ingredients for the bowls looked and tasted very fresh. There were lots of toppings and sauces to choose from (the most popular sauce is their house BAE sauce which I thought was delicious. There is seating for around 10 people inside. It's a cute spot with fresh, tasty food.

    Saturday 1/24/26- Yelp week event. It was cold and parking was -- typical of the area but I was…read moredetermined to have tacos here. I brought Mini-Mi as my p+1 and hubby was our chauffer lol. First, staff is super -super nice!! helpful when trying to decide what to order. Mini Me and I both chose three tacos carne asada with the smokey roja sauce. Hubby had the same but as a burrito. For the sides we had chips and guacamole and the Mexican street corn. Drink were Horchata (Obviously). Tacos and burrito were stuffed, and absolutely delish. They have a self serve salsa bar with the three salsa, the smokey roja, salsa verde and habanero. Let me just say I tried all three- fantastic heat to flavour ration and I poured the habanero on my tacos so good! in fact the smokey roja with the salsa verde is a great combination !! Seating area outside is much larger than inside, we sat inside at a table that had just become available- they do a super brisk take out business and we didn't wait very long for our food to be ready. In fact, my husband and Mini-Me - all three of us, agreed we would for sure make the drive again to have tacos here!! If you are in the area or at school near by- you have to come here at least once, to try the food. I paid for my hubby since he was not my +1 and his meal was about $16. so that in itself is very very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We were very pleased with the food, service and price point.

After a recent swim meet at Rutgers, I brought my kids. One is a big fan of tacos, while the other is more about quesadillas. The chicken tacos were a touch spicy for my kid, who is very sensitive to heat, and my habanero-flavored chicken burrito was brilliantly seasoned. (I love the heat!) All three of us were more than happy with our meals, which we enjoyed out on the back patio area, which had as much ambiance as an eatery in Mexico City. Very cool! The service was pleasant and quick. Now I'm looking forward to their next nearby swim meet so I can bring them here for lunch!

If you were going past here too fast you would definitely miss it It is a small restaurant that faces a big hole in the ground in New Brunswick. Parking is New Brunswick parking, if you've parked in New Brunswick you know it to expect. If you've never parked in New Brunswick try circling around a few times and if you don't have any luck with the meters you might have to pay for one of the decks, fortunately there was one right around the corner from this place. When I came in I already knew what I wanted to try, The namesake menu item that has been pretty popular lately. There were a few tables downstairs, and there was a stairwell upstairs that I never ventured up. The few times I visited here I've always found first four seating and never felt the need to see what was up the stairs. The tacos came out a little while after ordering and they looked really good. I think this was my first time consciously trying Iberia tacos and they were very good. I might not be the best person to judge this is I've never had other ones. But I was satisfied with what I had and the broth that it was served with was delicious. I have been back since, and will likely be back again. If you're in the mood for some good tacos you should check this place out.

Service was excellent, and that honestly stood out as one of the best parts of the experience. The food is pretty much what you would expect from this kind of spot: huge portions, greasy, salty, heavy, and very Americanized. Basically over the top Mexican food with lots of carbs. Not terrible, just not something that felt especially memorable or authentic. What really surprised me was that they did not have coffee or tea at all, which feels like a pretty big miss for a full service restaurant. Overall, I liked it most for the atmosphere and the service.

The chips and salsa were so fresh, always a good sign that your Mex will be a wonderful experience. They had no issue refilling our bowls of that as we waited for our meals, but it was hard to get the attention of the man who does that. I got Chimi Carne Asada Steak, served with a verde sauce and quite good. A bit pricey at $35, but tasty. My wife got Birria Pizza and my son got Birria Burrito, both good. I believe my son mentioned he got three meals out of his Burrito, which made me feel better about parting with $24. The drinks were good. I would imagine they could do better than $6.50 per bottle of Miller Lite, but what can you do. This would be a five star review if their prices were a bit better, but the food was good. Clean establishment and Christian was a wonderful server. I would go back, and their Parsippany location is closer to me.
