The menu is good, with plenty of options, but we were a little disappointed as the on site menu is very different from the online menu, and we were SUPER excited to try some of the desserts we saw, NONE of which were available anymore. Also, the prices were vastly different as well; the kids quesadilla and fries was a more than reasonable $5 online, but much, much less of a deal at $10 in person. Service was fine, and we didn't have any issues. Our waitress spoke spanish completely with The Misses, so I'm not even sure if they DO speak English here. I got the al pastor tacos, which were fine, and The Misses got chicken tacos, which she said were "a little dry." She finally asked for a side of sour cream to help them go down. The little ones quesadilla and fries was fine, and actually had some good sized chicken chunks, so that wasn't bad. We used to be in this area every Wednesday, and would have definitely gone back, but now that we're not, I'm not sure that we'll make the trip back for it. If you're local, it's certainly not a bad meal.

The building itself is a festive bright Orange color. I was greeted warmly by the owner as I walked on. The dining room had about a dozen tables but I got our order to go. It had an open kitchen with a small bar section so you could eat right where they cook. It was decorated in traditional Mexican decor. Now for the food, I ordered the enchiladas , one with Verde sauce and the other with Molé. The food smelled wonderful as I opened the bag and it looked just as delicious. The tortillas were fresh and homemade and the flavor was on point. The verde sauce had a great flavor and had just enough kick to make me know there was some spice. It was covered in lettuce and cheese and specked with diced tomato. The chicken was moist and tasty. The Molé sauce was deep and rich and had excellent flavor. It came with beens and rice. The beans were light colored and not black beens and the rice was standard Mexican rice. Overall it was really good. I will be going back again. They accepted debit cards but also had an ATM in the corner. The only drawback is that they didn't have any menus to give me so I will have to search that up on the inter webs. A small inconvenience for a wonderful meal.

The staff speaks English quite well, so communication is a breeze. They're busy on weekends: not so much during the week. Wait times (for the food to be served) are minimal (during the week anyway). The food is excellent, with good portions and very good prices. The produce used (lettuce, cilantro, etc..) has all been freshly prepared. This is authentic Mexican food - and it's delicious.

I could sum up my experience in one word: Salty…read more Las Aves came highly recommended by some locals, so I placed a takeout order through their website last night for Americano ground beef tacos, no tomatoes, and added sides of chips, queso, crema, and 4 oz. rice. My order total was roughly $20 after taxes, tip, and a random $1 online ordering fee. Since I added so many sides, I decided to check on my order when I picked it up. The sides were correct, except I erroneously ordered queso fresco instead of queso blanco (womp), but the tacos were covered in tomatoes. They corrected it and made me fresh tacos in just a few minutes, which I appreciated. My first bite into the tacos tasted like pure salt. Unfortunately, they didn't get any better. They were also pretty greasy, and my stomach wasn't a huge fan by any means. I ordered them with hard shell tacos, which was an upcharge, and they tasted way overcooked. All told, I just didn't enjoy the dish. The chips were extra salty too. I heard the rice was good though. I'm probably being generous with a 3-star rating, but I'm hoping it was just a bad night for them. It does seem like this spot is hit or miss based on other reviews here. I wouldn't be opposed to trying them once more on a future trip to Jersey, maybe next time I'll do a sit-down dinner, as their dining space looked quite nice and they even had outdoor seating too.

I don't know if they're frying things too long or their oil is just old but everything; chips, tacos, etc. came out oily and tasted off. I could only eat one of the birria tacos. Definitely feel like I'm going to get indigestion tonight . It's also clear that the guacamole is store bought. It has the lemony/lime preservative taste. It's such a shame because it's not hard to make homemade guacamole and I feel like if the ingredients here were just a bit fresher, it would go further. It was a really surprising time because the first time we came here, the food tasted fresh and great. I don't know if they just have someone else cooking tonight, but we couldn't finish our meals. $65.00 for that. Such a shame

We requested they have the restaurant make and send the rest of our order but they said the restaurant refused to do so. Half of our family's meal was missing tonight so we likely wont be giving a 4th chance and you shouldn't either.

Very delicious!…read more Service was strange or odd, but it was delicious food. I don't know why, when we walked in, it looked like the place was closed, because the tables were not set up, and didn't even look like it was open for business. It also took a really long time to wait for the food to be given to us. We ordered take-out from my friend's home, and had to drive all the way there to get it, had to deal with traffic, and got there kind of late, and it still wasn't ready. Other people also came in, got their food, and left. Just really strange. But, the food was still amazing!

The Real Deal: If you're in the mood for some authentic Mexican food, handmade tortillas and fresh,…read moresavory ingredients definitely show this restaurant some love. FYI: it's tucked away inside of a small shopping center. Be Careful: They serve complimentary tortilla chips and 4 different dipping sauces, which are all different levels of spicy (the red sauce being least spicy and the green the hottest). But the level of spice will sneak up on you, so try a little bit at a time because the kick will come with the after taste. These spices are hand-crafted and unlike any I've had at even some of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. Come Hungry: The portions are big so come hungry because it will be the last meal you'll need for the day. Feel Good Eating Here: The server we had was patient, kind and willing to explain what certain things were that we didn't understand on the menu. She made recommendations and advised us about the spice level of certain items. I took off one star because it was kind of cold in there. They had an ineffective space heater I guess to supplement the building heat but it wasn't sufficient. But all in all, I'd still recommend.
