Spicy margarita
Thembi S.

Most stars for good service. I visited with a bunch of coworkers. I'd ordered a margarita at the bar with spicy tequila, but didn't like it as it was on the sweet side. I ordered another once at the table, explaining I didn't want the margarita so sweet. I was brought a "skinny margarita" which was sweeter than the original one I ordered. The waiter listened to my concerns and finally brought back a spicy margarita from the menu that was pretty good. Kudos to him. Otherwise, I ordered steak tacos and I was pretty underwhelmed by them, they didn't seem seasoned. I'd stolen a shrimp from a coworker who had fajitas and those were seasoned so well. Wonder why the steak didn't receive the same treatment. Plus the chips that came with the salsa were almost too small to really scoop any salsa at all.

Cheers

We tried out this taco restaurant located across the street from a kids' amusement park called story book. The restaurant was pretty big and served a variety of Mexican food to its patrons. The highlight of my visit was the service. Our waitress Remaya was friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions along with excellent customer service. We ordered a mix of items, including guacamole, three tacos, a steak fajita, and drinks. Our dinner was pretty good overall, but the best parts of the meal were the mahi-mahi fish tacos and the steak fajita, they were both delicious. The place had nice décor, good vibes, and friendly people. The restaurant was full and had great energy. I would consider trying it again when I am in this part of New Jersey. Convenient parking lot. Outdoor / Indoor seating available.

My boyfriend & I come here almost every other week, my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant, the food hits every single time. The staff is amazing and the food/presentation/flavor is delish every single time. Highly recommend

Hadn't been here in a while but me and the wife snuck in for dinner tonight. What an absolute treat. The corn chowder soup to start was absolutely delicious. We actually got one to go as well. For diner I had the backend tuna. AMAZING. This was one of those meals that will stay in my head for a long time. Cooked perfectly, great presentation, so very flavorful. It was truly worth the trip for this meal. Staff was friendly and service was excellent. Definitely a good meal.

Birria Burrito

We went hoping there was a happy hour, but unfortunately they no longer have one. That being said the food was so delicious with a really deep flavor birria dip for the tacos. My michelada was so flavorful yams the candy straw just completed it for a good value

Steak Fajitas
Sarah G.

My friend introduced me to this place and I wish I would have gone earlier before we moved from Jersey! The steak fajitas were sizzlin good. The meat was juicy and flavorful. The fajita veggies were cooked just right. The sides of Mexican rice and beans paired well with it. The margaritas are good and they have a variety of flavors to choose from. You can do traditional tap poured margaritas or homemade margaritas . Both are delicious!

Chicken Carnitas Tacos

We came on a weekday and it was packed after work. The food was really good and came out quickly. They didn't have any happy hour or drink specials. The kids meal didn't come with any sides or drinks which was disappointing for the price.

Food is great. FYI - enchiladas could use a little more salsa on top if that's how you like them. Good drinks too.

If you blink while driving past this place you will miss it. And let me start by saying you do not…read morewant to miss this place so do not blink. First we started with a Mexican Coke and they never disappoint. The wife and I started off with the Al Pastor and the steak tacos, which were outstanding!!!! This will definitely be one of my top two taco spots! Next we had the guacamole with chicharron which was amazing and it included tortilla chips. Lastly we ended our lunch with the Birria Egg Rolls they were on another level of greatness, we will get them again for sure. Now let's talk about the 5 star service, our waitress Gabriela was freaking excellent we couldn't have asked for a better waitress. She was so friendly and pleasant I wish more waitresses were more like her. The ambiance was great the eating area has a pink theme and they decorated for Christmas very well because the colors did not clash it all blended well. We cannot wait to come back, but next time we will bring the whole family. Do not think twice about it just walk in and be ready for some greatness! I had to comeback and edit my post. I forgot one of the most important parts of the meal, the tortillas are homemade and they are phenomenal!!!!!

We visited this cozy(and extremely pink) little taco spot twice in a week because the food was so…read moregood! Five stars for the steak tacos and the fajitas. The table side guacamole tasted great but $17 is really excessively priced for what it is. The torta had great flavor but way too large, smaller would be easier to eat without a fork and no one wants to bring home leftovers at lunch time.
