Every time I'm in Monroe Township, I have to stop at this adorable little Mexican restaurant. The place is immaculate, and the decor is perfectly on point -- cozy, cute, and so inviting.

My daughter is obsessed with their tacos. They call them "American tacos" (I'm still not sure why!), but she loves every single one -- fish, beef, chicken -- she devours them all! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and try Las Chilangas. It's become a must-stop for us!

For drinks, we had the passion fruit cocktail and a mango margarita. The bartender did a great job because both were well made and definitely packed a kick!

The food itself was really good, but the music and atmosphere may have been even better. The vibe felt fun and energetic, and I can only imagine this place really comes alive at night. Looking forward to coming back and experiencing that. Only deducted a star because it wasn't really packed, but took a while to get our food. It could have just been today. Definitely recommend! .

Big shout out to Yuri. Even though it was your first day, you were great. Keeping doing you and i hope to come back and see you. Now the food. The menu is small but has a lot i wanted to try. This time we got the yellowtail fritters, they were delicious. I would recommend that to anyone. We got the shrimp ceviche, which my partner loved. I didnt but that's because it has a coconut base and i don't love that flavor. The garlic rice was delicious and nicely fried that added a lot of texture if that makes sense. Lately, the vedura enchiladas. Omg what that decision. It was spicy and sweet due to corn and very savory. I was skeptical of the place due to it being Indian Mexican fusion but i am quite surprised and excited to have something like this here. Prices seem highly initially but once you taste the food, you will understand. It's quality.

A Stellar Experience at Mi Casa Tu Casa - Brick, NJ!…read more I recently called Mi Casa Tu Casa to ask if I could bring my Ocean County College Women's Basketball Team in for a team dinner the night before our season kickoff -- and from that first phone call, their excitement and kindness were unmatched! They were so happy to host us and made every step of the experience easy and enjoyable. They even offered our players 10% off their meals, which were absolutely delicious! The tacos are an incredible deal -- four for just $15-- full of flavor and perfectly portioned. The appetizers were reasonably priced and packed with taste, chips and salsa come to table when dinning in, and to top it off, the staff surprised us with a few sweet treats for the table as a thank-you gesture -- such a thoughtful touch that meant so much to our team. There's plenty of seating and space for groups, making it a great spot for family dinners, team outings, or celebrations. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to have us there. It's always special to support small businesses that continue to support our local programs, and Mi Casa Tu Casa truly embodies community, generosity, and great service. In today's tough economic climate, it felt amazing to dine somewhere that not only serves amazing food but also values people, community and connection. Ratings: Food: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 -- spacious, welcoming, and perfect for groups Pricing: $-$$ (great value for the quality and quantity!)

Last night I was in the Lehigh Valley and decided to dine at La Maya restaurant in Hellertown, PA…read more I was intrigued by reviews citing its tasty modern Mexican cuisine and excellent cocktails. La Maya did not disappoint! The ambience is dimly lit, and perfect for a romantic dinner. On the cocktails side, I tried "Señor Sal" - a dirty martini / Vesper riff featuring their proprietary gin and vodka, dry vermouth, pickled jalapeño, olive brine, and lemon infused olive oil. It was a visually attractive, delicious, and sturdy cocktail. Just what the doctor ordered! Later I tried the house margarita. It was balanced and refreshing. There are options to add flavorings to the house margarita spec for +$2 (e.g., Matcha Coconut, Spicy, Guava Mint, Caramelized Pineapple). My dinner companion tried the caramelized pineapple and loved it. On the culinary side, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. For an entree, I selected the Carne Nortena - a tequila-marinated ribeye with sauteed scallions, shisito peppers. The steak was cooked perfectly to temperature (medium-rare) and amazingly juicy. The roasted sweet potato wedges (Camote) were also outstanding. Don't forget dessert - the coconut flan was to die for! Service - I believe our server's name was Alex, was on-point. He was knowledgeable about both the food and beverages, and did not rush us. Thank you La Maya for a great evening. I will definitely return.

The decorations were festive, perhaps for the holidays, perhaps year-round--we'll have to return to find out! Service was terrific and the food delicious. We shared: - Guacamole de la casa (3 guacamoles: mango, spicy, and regular), each of which were tasty and everyone had a different favorite! - Chips con 3 salsas (red, green, and borracha), each of which were tasty and I couldn't pick a favorite! Two diners had the Quesabirrias tacos and one the Lengua tacos--everyone was pleased with their order. I tried the Carne Asada from the grill and while the sweet plantains were prepared in a drier/crispier style than I prefer, the meat was perfectly seasoned. We shared an order of churros and tres leches cake--the latter was drier than expected, but the 3 churro-lovers thought they were terrific (crispy on the outside, softer on the inside).

The staff were very kind to my children and service was attentive, the busboy/girl, waiter, and bartender were all quick to help whenever we needed something. We tried the brisket nachos for the first time and they were delicious. The jalapeños were a bit too spicy for my taste, but the dish overall was still great. I had the shrimp tacos again, which were juicy and flavorful. My husband tried the asada tacos but felt they weren't as flavorful as the churrasco he had during our last visit, though he did enjoy the cilantro lime rice. For the kids, we ordered chicken tenders, white rice, and tostones. The tenders were soft and easy to eat, and the kids loved them. Happy hour margaritas were $10. I had the passionfruit on the rocks and it was delicious. My husband switched from a frozen mango (too sweet) to mango on the rocks and liked it much better. Bonus for families: the bathrooms are spacious and they have changing tables. Overall, a great experience and we'd come back again.

I ordered the following items: * Passionfruit Frozen Margarita * Shrimp Ceviche * Churrasco (8oz Skirt Steak) * Black Beans * Cilantro Lime Rice * Tres Leches Cake The frozen drink tasted amazing. The shrimp ceviche was tasty and fresh. The skirt steak was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The rice and beans, however, were both underwhelming. The flavor was lacking in both side dishes. I ordered two sides of the Roja Ahumada salsa to enhance each bite. The cake was decent; the taste reminded me a bit of a pound cake. The restaurant's ambiance was incredibly gorgeous. The staff members were hospitable, attentive, and kind. All in all, the entire experience was up to par. I'd say that I wish the menu offered more dishes, as the options seemed limited. I would still come here again in the future.

I think I can say this is the best breakfast burrito I've had in New York!…read more Starting off, their signature Hatch chilies are delicious, with just the right amount of kick, and they provide a great spicy, fresh bite. The eggs are cooked perfectly, soft and fluffy, and the tater tots add a nice crunch, although I would not mind if they were even a little crunchier. They're already better than most places I've been. The sausage was nice and flavorful, although I do wish there was a little more, as I felt like it got a little lost in the rest of the burrito. Overall, this is a very cohesive burrito with all the components working very well together. I like their take-out system. It's very fast and efficient, and I was greeted by the owner, who is very friendly and full of personality. I highly recommend this place!

The night we dined the restaurant was pretty busy, but there were no servers or hosts in sight. After a very brief wait, a server and host/server came out of the kitchen and sat us immediately. We started with horchata to drink, which arrived in mason jars with a dusting of cinnamon. The menu is very seafood heavy, so if you're not into fish or seafood, your options are limited. With that being said, the menu leans authentic Mexican. Every table receives fresh homemade nachos with a black bean topping and two salsas- one mild and one spicy. We decided to do the appetizer sampler so we could try a little of a variety of things. It came with an empanada, elote, nachos, guacamole, and queso fundido. The presentation was awesome, as it arrived on a wooden board. The empanada was cut into 4 pieces and was filled with chicken tinga and cheese. I absolutely loved it, while my friend hated it, which was crazy to me. It was so flavorful and had almost a carnitas flavor to it. The guac was fresh, the nachos were crispy and packed with toppings, elote was flavorful and fresh, and queso fundido was super filling. We almost filled up on the apps, but our birria tacos came out and they were fantastic. Our server poured the hot consommé over onions in a little bowl and the flavor was rich and paired with the birria so well. The corn tortillas were crispy and even though we could only eat one of the three, we took the rest home. We also split a side of Mexican rice and beans, which were average and pretty much what you'd expect. We aren't sure if there is dessert, as there was none on the menu, but we were too full even if we were offered options. Our server was attentive even though it was very busy. All in all, I would give it a 4 and my dining companion would give it a 3 so 3.5 would be perfect. However I went up to a 4 because I enjoyed what I ordered and think it deserves that half of a star.
