Cooler with various soft drinks available. Very colorful interior. The pico and chips were super fresh. The salsa verde has a nice kick. The knock out star of the show was the chicken fajitas served on a sizzling cast iron pan. Loveeee the cast iron because if you want your food extra toasty you can press them down and have them sear. The chicken is super flavorful and moist. The homemade flour tortillas are incredible and hefty enough to hold up. The rice and beans were good. Came with an avocado instead of guacamole but that's fine. Be sure to get some pico or salsa verde on the side to go with it.

They are not up to the hype they once were much to my dismay as a once super fan!

I was expecting traditional beans like the beans and rice that come at every Mexican restaurant; what I got was beans poured from a can and heated up. Very disappointing. The enchilada was ok. The veggies were barely cooked and everything fell apart. There was barely any flavor. My partner got a birria enchilada which they put in as birria tacos and it took them a long time to bring out the correct order, I was almost done with my meal. The enchilada really only had one flavor; salt. The dipping sauce was pretty good. I'm writing this review so I know never to come back and let anyone who likes flavor know that they will most likely be disappointed.

The man at the front (I wish I got his name) was awesome. He was so friendly and even comped our diet coke and jarritos. We started with chips and guac. The portion of guac was so generous and it was so creamy and flavorful with the seasonings, tomato, and onion. I got a chicken burrito and it was the best burrito that I can remember having. It was a big portion and the sauces on top really made the dish. That avocado crema was amazing. We finished with a tres leches that had such bright flavors and a perfect texture. Ambiance is super casual and restaurant was very well heated. A great cozy spot for some amazing Mexican food!

Turns out its because they removed an item off of our receipt without ever telling us, we didnt notice until we got home. We are down one dish, only to realize that the portions in the main dishes are ridiculously small. The rice and beans served in our main dishes both were half portions, not even enough for one adult meal. My dishes chicken breasts had muscle in most bites, and the beans were very over salted,making the already small meal difficult to finish. We both ordered the same meal, his was missing avacado. Overall, very disappointed to have had this experience, especially on mother's day. I should have just cooked.

We started off with the best chips and salsa around. We even bought a tub of salsa to go, it was that good! The guac was awesome also, just needed a little salt but our waitress was sooo accommodating because my friend needed veggies instead of chips and she delivered! We also had the buffalo tots and they were insane! Full of flavor! For our meals, we opted for some tacos, a quesadilla and chicken/shrimp/veggies. The stand out for me were the tacos! The Greek one and the jerk chicken were amazing! Bursting with flavor and I wish we ordered more! The street corn quesadilla was not my favorite but it was still good. The corn was just regular corn, not street corn and the chicken did taste a little freezer burned. But the tacos are the way to go!!! We will absolutely be back and cannot wait!!

When my lunch plans fell through it was a perfect opportunity to check this place out. 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.

The restaurant serves delicious, fresh food in a very homey atmosphere. The servers are kind, attentive, and so helpful; from time to time, you might even be served by Pancho himself, who is an absolute gem! We started with the guacamole and chips, followed by the nachos, where you can customize them with your choice of meat. For our entrees, we ordered the Huaraches with steak, which is a large, handmade, slightly fried tortilla topped with beans, onions, lettuce, crema, and cheese. We also got the Tacos, which come five to an order. You can choose up to two meats, but we stuck with the classic Al Pastor. The meat was so tender and flavorful, served with the traditional onion, cilantro, and lime on the side. Finally, and my personal favorite, we had the Picaditas. Like the tacos, you can choose two meats, so we went with Al Pastor and steak. Similar to the Huaraches, these are four smaller, slightly fried homemade tortillas with green and red sauce on the bottom, topped with lettuce, onion, and cheese! To wash everything down, we had the homemade Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus tea), though their Horchata is also delicious. Overall, this is one of my favorite spots; it reminds me of my childhood, and the food is just as good as what you'd find in Mexico. If you're looking for an authentic experience, this is it!

This unassuming gem is so great, and seems to thrive on takeout orders, leaving the dining room virtually empty (yay us!) We had an assortment of dishes to get a feel of what this place was good at and to no surprise: they aced every single one. The fish tacos, though they looked plain, were so flavorful and crispy and we couldn't get enough. The other types of tacos were also packed with flavor and so incredibly addicting. We also shared nachos as an appetizer and to our surprise, the chips were fresh and the nachos were topped with tender pieces of steak. It's hard to find a good pozole, and this one was filled with meat and honestly could have served as two meals with how much was given to us. This just might have to be our new go-to Mexican spot - it seems like my days of taco trucks are over since I can get some amazing tacos here!
