We came here for dinner after reading the reviews and were excited to try it. We got here and were…read moreimmediately seated. The restaurant is small, with walls that are white on top and brown on the bottom, 3 booths lining the left wall and 2 booths on the right, and regular tables seating up to 4 guests. The Mexican flag is hung up on the right wall while Ecuador's flag hangs on the left and cultural items surround them as well. The drinks refrigerator can be seen in the back and the entrance to the adjoining store is found on the back by the left wall, with decorations on strings hanging over the entire restaurant. A soccer game was playing while we were there. We ordered the following: Lengua Forrada; Arroz y frijoles- Hubs thought this was ok. We weren't expecting an uncut tongue. Normally, when we order lengua, it's all diced up and put on tortillas. This time, we got a couple of whole tongues. It was a little weird. LOL. The rice and beans were good. Flautas- corn tortillas filled with chicken or steak and fried topped with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and cheese. I chose steak. I actually liked it because the flautas were nice and crispy. Enchiladas Mexicana Bistec; salsa Verde- corn tortillas rolled and stuffed with choice of shredded chicken or steak, topped with either red or green salsa. Daughter chose the steak with green salsa and said that this was pretty good. She thought it was flavorful and meaty and that it hit the spot. Tres leches - I got it to go. I found mold on top of the tres leches. You wouldn't be able to see it if you didn't open the lid because it was underneath their label. I don't know what made me open the lid but I'm glad I did. I returned it to the server and showed it to her but she never removed it from the bill. I didn't say anything about it but counted it as part of the tip. I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the mold on the tres leches and the server didn't take it off the bill after I returned it to her. I didn't say anything about it because there was a language barrier and I didn't know how to approach her saying it. While service was quick and friendly, I won't be returning here because of the mold and we got billed for it, anyway.

TLDR: Nice flavors in a low key spot…read more The food had a nice balance of heat, sweetness, and salt. Some of the pork was overcooked and hard though. The salad was fresh and crisp - a welcome addition to the rest of the rich plate. At $20 the plate was an ok value. The restaurant was bustling and low key. I would consider coming again, but with so many other restaurants in the area I'd probably try something else first.

I've had flautas, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and more and I have never been let down. I absolutely love the chicken tinga and salsa verde here. The chicken tinga burrito is my go-to order and I always request extra salsa verde because it is the best salsa to ever touch my lips! I could literally drink it...Everything is so fresh and tasty! The inside has beautiful cultural decor and plenty of tables. It is a BYOB restaurant so feel free to bring your favorite adult beverage. They can be quite busy at times, but service and quality have never fallen during rush hour. If you dine in, you'll start off with fresh chips and salsa verde, which if you haven't caught on yet, you will love. I've attached some pictures from this visit and from previous visits and yes...the burritos are *always* that big and bursting at the seams. If I had to choose my last meal, it would be La China Poblana, hands down.

I've been wanting to come to this Korean BBQ inspired Mexican place ever since reading about the…read moreopening in the township's monthly fishwrap, and finally remembered it when we found ourselves wanting to try someplace new. The place is easy to get to at its location just off 295, and though it doesn't look like much from the outside, it is well kept and clean when you enter. We did the all you can eat and added the $5 extra for the premium meats such as skirt steak and ribeye. Since it was the first time for us, we ordered an appetizer from the all you can eat menu. The Queso Fundido was very tasty, but in retrospect, the cheese and corn in the dish, though small in size, took away belly space that could have been used for something more meaty. We also ordered tacos of Barbacoa lamb (it comes ready from the kitchen), but the remainder of our meal was cooked on the table's grill. Ribeye was especially tasty with a very flavorful seasoning on it. We went back for a second round on it and the skirt steak. The tortillas seemed on the thin side, which I completely approved of, as it meant more belly space remained available for the meats. The servers were friendly and attentive, and even when it started getting busier at 6PM, they were there when we needed them, and patient with our first visit slowness when deciding on what/how to proceed. They were changing out our grill top after every new order to make certain it conducted heat well for max searing, and we never had to wait more than a handful of minutes for the meat to arrive after ordering. In the end, we ordered two meats at a time, along with tortillas for tacos, and that seemed to work well for us. My only regret is that we didn't splurge on the guacamole, but the variety of salsas they offered worked just fine. Legroom can be right under the table for a taller person, but it's doable. It took us almost a year to visit after they opened, but it won't be nearly that long before we return.

Their Birria Tacos and consume are the best in the area. Filled with tender meat, melted cheese, and crisped to perfection, even with my large appetite you'll never walk out hungry after eating the 3 that come in this serving. We've also enjoyed their street Tacos both Al Pastor and Carnitas, as well as their grilled fish tacos - and enjoyed every soft corn tortilla filled bite. They also provide 6 different sauces and a free basket of homemade chips. The above selections have been our go to orders so far, but we're looking forward to trying their packed burritos, fresh, hand made guacamole and chips, and my wife's favorite - fajitas. We've seen others in the restaurant eating the burritos and fajitas and they looked really good. Everything is made fresh to order and comes to the table piping hot. They also seem to get a lot of take out orders too if you don't want to dine in the restaurant. If you're looking for authentic, homemade Mexican food - and want to support an up and coming local business - check out Chili Pepper in North Brunswick just off Rt 130 on the northbound side. PS it's easy to miss given its location in the strip mall, so use your GPS if coming from outside the area. But don't sleep on this place because the food is just that good.

This month was their food and tequila pairing! Hosted by a fabulous woman named Neia, who was representing Aldez Tequila, I learned so much from her about the history of tequila, how it's crafted, and so much more. Aldez Tequila is a high quality, certified organic, and handmade tequila product that partnered with Z Taco for the pairing. Neia made the dinner fun and engaging with her bubbly personality and all of her knowledge! Chef Chris did an outstanding job orchestrating 8 different Mexican inspired courses, all infused with tequila, and I was blown away by his creative and innovative gastronomy. You can see that each course was thoroughly crafted and I enjoyed each bite of every flavor. It was great getting to meet him and hear him carefully describe each dish to the guests. A fun time was had by all, as we got to meet new people from the area who also share a love of food and drink. If food pairings are your thing, if you have an appreciation for good food and spirits, and if you want to have a great time, make your reservation for one of their next Supper Clubs! They happen once a month. Or, stop by during their normal business hours and have some delicious tacos and other Mexican food specialties! I can't wait to come back and try their regular menu!

I think a place like this would benefit the most from a location with more transient foot traffic. The menu is limited but thoughtful. The burrito was dry on the inside but flavorful.

We haven't ruled out another visit but I'm not rushing back.
