    My dad and I had pedicures next door (also a fantastic experience) and we noticed this restaurant…read moreas we were leaving. My dad didn't feel like Mexican so when we got home, I mentioned it to my husband and he wanted to try it out. When we got there, there were a couple of tables taken, and they were all speaking Spanish. Good sign #1. The place was clean, bright, and cheerful. Good sign #2. The server (? He seemed to be doing every job there) greeted us and told us to sit wherever we wanted and then asked us what we wanted to drink. I got water and my husband ordered horchata. It was really good and not too sweet like it can be. I ordered a huarache with carnitas and my husband ordered chilaquiles with red and green sauce. The chilaquiles were so good he had them gone in a couple of minutes. I didn't have a high expectation of my lunch because it was not on a masa base, it was a tortilla. I still ordered it because I figured the tortilla would be a lighter meal for lunch and I wouldn't feel as drained as if it was masa. My huarache had a base of some of the best refried beans I've had in a long time and let me tell you about the carnitas! In the area we used to live in, carnitas was generally served as shredded pork. Here, it was chunks of meat and I was a little anxious that they would be tough. But oh, the meat was so tender! I barely touched it with my fork and it fell apart! I barely had to chew it. I was really only chewing the tortilla. It was flavorful without being too spicy, so the taste of the carnitas could shine through. Honestly, this place is a little unassuming hole in the wall type of place in a weird strip mall that also has a surgery center and a gym in it. But you know, that's the kind of place that outshines any big places.

    Very mediocre Mexican food. Many other excellent Latino…read morerestaurants in the area that are far superior. Guacamole was okay but the adddition of chopped jalepenos was not.

    We tried Mi Pueblo in Medford on Monday afternoon and sat outside--such a great, relaxed spot…read more We're definitely foodies, and the tequila mussels were honestly the best mussels we've ever had. The sauce was incredible--you'll want every last drop. Absolutely standout dish. We also had the shrimp tacos, which were just as delicious--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. Overall, such a great experience and we will definitely be back!!

    I was visiting my bestie and craving Mexican so he suggested we try out Mi Pueblito Modern Mexican…read moreCuisine. Set in the center of a quiet shopping center, I HAD to post this review because I need people to know this exists. While I was expecting typical guacamole, tacos, chimichangas, and burritos, this was NOT that. The menu gives off an upscale Mexican vibe that is completely unexpected. The dining area is much larger than we realized upon entering the restaurant. We were given homemade chips with salsa and salsa verde. We started with the queso with chorizo. It arrived in a little skillet with soft tortillas for dipping. The dip was basically all cheese and chorizo. It needed to be lifted or pinched into the tortilla and was not dippable. I wasn't a huge fan of this, but this was the only thing I didn't love. I then did the roasted beets with cream cheese, avocado, pistachio, jalapeños, and fig reduction. This was out of this world with fresh ingredients and an amazing blend of flavors. For my entree I did the Pollo Poblano which was thinly sliced chicken breasts with roasted poblano peppers, cheese, crab, and a tequila cream sauce. It didn't come with any sides so I did the rice and beans. The rice was creamy and had bits of corn and herbs. It was almost like a risotto. The refried beans were black beans rather than your typical pinto beans. My bff had the veal enchiladas and said they were okay, but I didn't try them to give a full synopsis. We were too full to do dessert, but I had this chicken 4 days ago and I am still fantasizing about it. I need to go back. Definitely check this place out!

    Our family has enjoyed the food from this establishment for many years at both locations however,…read moresince Covid, we have only been out to a select few places to eat, and honestly when we went to dine in at B-Unos the prices have dramatically changed and increased, and the portions are no longer what they were in the past. We totally understand that the cost of food has increased substantially, but the service has dramatically decreased, as well. We went in today to have breakfast and it was honestly disappointing My husband said his burger was amazing and delicious, but my breakfast was mediocre, and it seemed as though the young lady at the front was more concerned with the takeout and To go orders than the customers who were dining in their establishment. The place was empty, except for two other people who were dining alone. I got the create your own breakfast for $15 which offered a platter that I would build myself, and I really like that option for the flexibility of choosing what I would like to eat, however, I was charged $1.25 for barely a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and I had to wait a really long time to get a refill on my drink I guess this place isn't so bad if you're ordering takeout, but if you plan to dine in maybe reconsider another place that has better service

    If you're in the Columbus, NJ area and craving flavorful, authentic Mexican food, El Mariachi Loco…read moreMexican Grill is a spot you need to check out. It's become a local favorite, and after eating there, it's easy to see why. First off, the service is great--super friendly and fast, even when it gets busy. You never feel like you're waiting around, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the second you walk in. The portion sizes are generous, and you get a lot of high-quality food for what you pay. Whether you're ordering a burrito, tacos, or something off their full entrée menu, you'll leave full and satisfied. The burritos especially are solid--hearty, flavorful, and well put together, and the rest of the menu holds up just as well. Everything is seasoned perfectly and cooked with care. The interior decor is really fun and vibrant, with a lot of attention to detail. It's one of those places that's actually worth sitting down to eat in just to enjoy the atmosphere. It's colorful, cozy, and adds to the whole experience. That said, it's a little pricey for Mexican food, especially compared to quick-service spots--but the quality and setting justify it. You're definitely paying for a sit-down experience with authentic flavors and not just a quick bite. Overall, El Mariachi Loco is one of the best spots around for Mexican food--a great local place with bold flavors, friendly service, and an atmosphere that makes it worth a visit again and again.

    Notice how there's only pictures of the decor? That's because I took them before the food came out…read more Once that happened, the phone was forgotten. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious! Despite the steady onslaught of patrons and busy Friday night, the staff was attentive and kind. They checked in on us multiple times and got our food to us quickly. I will definitely be coming here again!

I had the shrimp tacos and honestly they were not what I was expecting but maybe that was my fault (i though they were going to be hot, but it contained all cold ingredients: cold shrimp, sour cream, queso fresco, cold chopped tomatoes and cold flour tortillas). I'd still come here again but would just order something different. We did have amazing elote, so I would suggest ordering that: it's $7 per corn cob but totally worth it! For dessert with had the churros with ice cream and that was the most amazing dessert ever! We sat outside and enjoyed the calmness but service was a little slow because of that. They have very nice decor inside so I wouldn't mind sitting inside too.

Seem to do a good takeout business as well, as we saw DoorDashers coming and going to the little counter all night. They have a little display case with to-go desserts at the hostess desk. (TRES LECHES!!!) Soda's are all bottled, not fountain. No alcohol, but you can BYOB and add it to some mixers they offer - like margarita by the glass or pitcher. Parking lot is tiny for a strip mall that is almost exclusively dining options, but we managed to find a spot in the back by the dumpsters. The overall experience checked every box. Give it a try!
