Top shelf margarita
April S.

First time at roosters in Newark. Staff was very friendly . Typical looking roosters joint. Our waitress was nice. The top shelf margaritas were great. My friend ordered the fried shrimp with garlic sauce on them and they were AMAZING! Why have I never tried this at roosters before ?! I typically ordered my usual- dumpster fries and boneless wings. My friend had never had dumpster fries before and enjoyed them. When I order my wings I order sauce on the side and usually order atleast 3 sauces (I like to dip in pieces). This allows me to taste more than one sauce...one sauce is so boring! This also allows for perfect reheating of leftovers in the oven in which they won't be soggy.

On Chodeats everyone was talking about how good Roosters was...so the wife and I went and the decor, the waitresses and the ambiance of Texas roadhouse is one in the same. Both are loud and confusing to try and have a conversation with the person across from you. The food was all the same, fried, fried, fried oh and fried, all in the same grease and all purchased from the same gfs more than likely. If not gfs some food resource. I got 10 mild Buffalo wings and 10 Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ was good but a little too sweet in the end. The Buffalo wings are to a neighbor, or the stray cats. Oh and the wife got 4 chicken tenders that were just strips, the first 4 she git were waaay past golden, and brown, and headed to black. The waitress got her some more and they were almost the same. Our bill was 37.00 and I had gotten 50 in gift cards for the fuel points, and the waitress that showed she wanted a 15 to 20 percent tip got a 13.00 tip just because we won't be going back.

Roosters Newark is the best place in town for cold beer and great food. Usually busy and great for watching sports.

I truly think this is the best Mexican restaurant I have been to in awhile as far as service,…read moreportion sizes and price come into play. The atmosphere has little to desire but if you have ever been to Mexico and ate in a little town you would know this is actually how it is in Mexico lol so we can say this place is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN for sure. Kids split bean burritos and rice. Mom and Dad shared fajita mix of steak, chicken and shrimp ummmmm this is the largest portion for 2 we have ever been served and we eat a lot of Mexican food everywhere!! Pitchers of beer and margaritas were decently priced. Great lunch and happy hour specials. Will definitely return and do recommend!!

For those of you who follow my reviews, I enjoy finding new Mexican restaurants and food trailers…read moreto put their Birria tacos to the test! This place was an epic fail. Despite other reviews on this place, the staff were actually all friendly and attentive. When I walked in I could tell that this place is no more than a bar with dine-in seating surrounding it. I didn't really find the Birria tacos on their menu however when I inquired about them the waiter stated that they have them. I didn't have to wait long for my food however from the moment my plate arrived it was sheer disappointment. My plate arrived with 3 "Birria" tacos but there was not much about these that said "Birria". They were prepared on flour tortillas that were completely soft with no sign of the classic melted cheese on the tortilla, no limes, and no dipping broth. Of course I asked for limes and broth. The "broth" that was brought to my table appeared to be watered down taco grease and tasted as such! The tacos had a fair amount of meat, onions, and cilantro in the tortilla but these were a far cry from an authentic Birria taco. When I received my check I would discover a charge of $16.08 for a plate of Americanized tacos. Meat was dry and quite tasteless. If you're looking for a place that does not serve authentic Mexican food with higher than a giraffe's nuts pricing then this is your spot!!! I will not be a repeat customer.
