    The food is good but there's a creepy staff member who gives us the creeps. I don't know who he is but he stares and is a little intense. We would come here more if we felt more comfortable but it's a little weird. We came here once and tried sitting at the bar. That was much better.

    No one greeted my friend and I at the door until we looked for someone to seat us. Our server was nice, but the overall vibe (and food) was subpar. There were so many flies flying around our table, and the interior was very bare. I ordered the penne vodka; while it tasted really good, I quickly realized just how much butter/ oil the pasta was soaking in, which was pretty gross.

    Delicious

    Another fantastic dinner. This is our Friday night go to spot. Excellent beer menu to go along with great service!

    $16 cheese steak. That's it. This is not just half of it..

    See all

    Esposito's Pizza & Mexican Food - Almost finished plate of nachos.

    Esposito's Pizza & Mexican Food

    I can't really hate too much on this place, the pizza part would throw you off, but I did have…read moretheir nachos and they hit the spot. I usually would dabble on Chile Rellenos for any first time meal at a Mexican joint, but I need nachos and this place delivered, especially with the portion. I have heard this place is spotty with prep and taste consistency, I've had them twice for nachos, the other for carnitas for pick up and they had everything backed nicely and in a party tray. Not a lot of seating and they charge extra for credit, but that's how they get more bang for your buck. Love decently close and I'd go here, hands down, for my nachos craving... pricey, but as mentioned, big serving.

The mall itself has been filling out with more restaurants lately but this spot has always been my go-to when I'm craving hearty Mexican food. I first stumbled on it years ago while getting my uniform tailoring done next door and it's been a favorite ever since. The food is consistently delicious and filling. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch while waiting for your meal. My usual order comes with a great mix of tacos, rice, and refried beans, and the portions are generous enough that you definitely won't leave hungry.....though you might leave in a food coma! The interior isn't exactly glamorous, but once the food arrives, you'll probably forget all about how it looks inside. I also appreciate that they now accept credit cards though they still offer a discount if you pay with cash. Overall, this place delivers great value, big plates, and tasty comfort food in an unassuming spot.

They are doing an enormous takeout business as well. They bring over what is definitely homemade chips and a very heavy on the cilantro salsa, but it was excellent. More on the watery side restaurant style. We ordered the medium sized guacamole, which was huge. I can't imagine what the large looks like. My own guac I would have had diced tomato and some jalapeño in there, but it was still super fresh and delicious. We both ordered street tacos. They're on white corn tortillas. Very simple, squeeze lime on there, you got diced onion and cilantro. It was excellent and my date said hers were the al Pastor and she liked hers as well. I would've liked a more intimate dining setting, but I highly recommend this place if you want authentic delicious Mexican food and it was reasonable But if you've got four or more, I would definitely recommend a reservation on the weekends even if you have 2 maybe. No seafood enchiladas which was I guess was in line with their menu. Oh, and also they give you like a grilled cactus blade. I don't know what else to call it. It was delicious.

    If you're in the Columbus, NJ area and craving flavorful, authentic Mexican food, El Mariachi Loco…read moreMexican Grill is a spot you need to check out. It's become a local favorite, and after eating there, it's easy to see why. First off, the service is great--super friendly and fast, even when it gets busy. You never feel like you're waiting around, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the second you walk in. The portion sizes are generous, and you get a lot of high-quality food for what you pay. Whether you're ordering a burrito, tacos, or something off their full entrée menu, you'll leave full and satisfied. The burritos especially are solid--hearty, flavorful, and well put together, and the rest of the menu holds up just as well. Everything is seasoned perfectly and cooked with care. The interior decor is really fun and vibrant, with a lot of attention to detail. It's one of those places that's actually worth sitting down to eat in just to enjoy the atmosphere. It's colorful, cozy, and adds to the whole experience. That said, it's a little pricey for Mexican food, especially compared to quick-service spots--but the quality and setting justify it. You're definitely paying for a sit-down experience with authentic flavors and not just a quick bite. Overall, El Mariachi Loco is one of the best spots around for Mexican food--a great local place with bold flavors, friendly service, and an atmosphere that makes it worth a visit again and again.

Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious! Despite the steady onslaught of patrons and busy Friday night, the staff was attentive and kind. They checked in on us multiple times and got our food to us quickly. I will definitely be coming here again!
