    Wanted lunch was visiting the area from AZ. Wasn't expecting much, it's mexican food in Jersey. Restaurant is in a small strip mall. We opted to sit on the side of the building that they've converted to an really cute outside dining area. We ordered. I wanted something small I I ordered "a" carnitas tostada, well it came as three. Loaded with cheese and flavorful retried black beans with just enough pork carnitas. This dish was good but I do wish the pork was caramelized a bit more and it had a little bit more flavor..but I'd definitely order again if in the area. We ordered guacamole, it was excellent. Chips and salsa, chips a tad to thick for me but very fresh. Red and green salsa was great. The red had just a hint of heat at the end. The green, I loved the abundance of cilantro. The chipotle crema was ok. My husband liked his enchiladas and I tasted the sauce, again full of flavor. My brothers relleno was huge and picture perfect but the cheese was strange. Major cheese pull, he had a hard time eating it. Had to twirl on his fork like spaghetti. But again, he loved the taste. Overall this was a great affordable meal. Service was good, produce and garnishes were fresh, food tasty. I'd love to go back and try the take out boxes.

    Chorizo fundido. Super filling.

    Friendly accommodating team. Nice and clean dining room and restrooms. Food was exceptional - especially any of the sauces, salsas etc were so incredibly flavorful. 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!

    Amazing place, dope vibe, very festive (had a Halloween decor and colors all over), great food, and excellent service. This place seemed like a hidden hole in the wall but every 2 minutes there was more and more people walking in, so clearly I'm late to this spot. Definitely will be going back!

    I went here with family on a road trip! Okay first off I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE THE DECOR!!! The People are very friendly and attentive but I honestly can't say the food is as good.

    Fresh! Bright, clean, very cute inside and out. The freshness was visible when they set our plates down and then the first bite confirmed it. The chips (with salsas and queso) they brought to the table were probably the best I've had. Enchiladas and asada tacos were both excellent. The street corn was delish!!! Cute floral decor inside and umbrellas hung outside on the patio.

    A decent Mexican restaurant in South Jersey. My fiancé and I came around 7 pm on a Friday and the restaurant was packed. Luckily we were able to be seated quickly and were served chips and salsa and water. The trio of salsas were great, I loved the different flavors. For apps, we ordered the tortilla soup. I ordered this in the past and loved it but this time they put too many tortilla strips, which I couldn't finish. Overall, the flavor was great and the . For entrees we ordered the enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. I ordered the veggie one. I loved the sauce, it was spicy and tangy and filled with different veggies. Our food did take a while to come out, which is why I took one star off but overall had a good experience.

    Taco Bar

    I never leave reviews. We ordered the "taco bar" box, and let me first say, there is nowhere that compares to this place. Phenomenal. -fantastic value (amount of food/price) -excellent quality ingredients (can taste freshness -great presentation Not only will i be going back for more soon, but this box would be perfect for having friends over for a football game or bbq

    Nothing in the taco but bland, overcooked beef.
    Lulu B.

    (Photos included) It was my first time trying birria tacos, and it was not good. Very bland. The tacos are nothing but meat in a fried tortilla (I skipped the cheese but that wouldn't have made it better). The birria sauce/soup was spicy which is nice, but it was very watery and didn't have that smoky, beefy taste everyone talks about. It was so bland! And it cost $18! Next time I will have to try something else from the menu. Pros: beautiful restaurant.

    I have not one bad thing to say about this restaurant. From the smiles when you walk in, the attentiveness of the staff and the adorable decor. Each dish we ordered was delicious. Also, the way they sang Happy Birthday to me was heartwarming.

    Taco box
    Heather F.

    Take away boxes are the way to go! Wonderful way to have family dinner at home. Every little item you could need is included. Lime wedges. Sour cream. Etc. we had a taco box, for four 4 adults - added rice/ beans. Elote. and churros and had plenty of leftovers. Can not brag enough about how delicious everything was. Take away is a gamble especially on cinco de Mayo weekend and we had everything we ordered and full bellies

    I called in a order for pickup. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is much larger than anticipated. All the tables were neatly set with colorful napkins. I ordered the lunch express for $13. The food looked really good and I wanted to like it! The food was bland. With some extra seasoning this would have been a 5 star review.

    Chips and Salsas

    Saturday afternoon and we had a sudden craving for Mexican food, specifically nachos. I suggested Mariachi San Lucas because I recall their nachos (and their food in general) being superb and the drive being on the shorter end. It's been a couple of years since my mom and I have been and it was my girlfriend's first time. We arrived around 3:45 and had were the only guests in the restaurant. It is BYOB so we brought a bottle of wine and they supplied the wine glasses. Our server was really nice and more than accommodating. We had a few questions and a couple requests and everything we asked was of no issue at all. The restaurant also seemed like it was decorated for Spring. Both my mom and girlfriend said it was cute inside. They started us off with homemade chips and some delicious salsas. Soon after we placed our order more guests started arriving. I guess we ended up going at a weird time right between lunch and dinner but by the time we were finished eating the place was full. We decided to split chicken nachos between the 3 of us and to each get our own entree. My girlfriend ordered a chicken burrito enchilada style in green sauce. My mom had chicken enchiladas in green sauce. I finally broke after years of wanting to try a molcajete bowl and loved it. I chose red guajillo sauce which is the least spicy of their two options. It came with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and avocado and was bubbling and steaming long after it was placed in front of me. The sauce had great flavor and the meat was tender. I couldn't even finish the entire dish because the portion size was so large. My mom and girlfriend had leftovers as well. Everyone enjoyed their food to say the least. I can't believe it's been so long between visits for me especially with how short of a drive I have. The food was great and so was the service. I will be back again soon. The quality is just how I remember it a few years back.

    I see why this business has so many great reviews! I came on Yelp to search for a place that…read moreoffered vegan cake, cupcakes & cookies. Boy was I in for a literal treat!! This small space is packed with a whole lot of goodies. I was fortunate enough to purchase 4 deliciously moist vegan cupcakes. Unfortunately I had to share two of the four, thankfully though I was able to have a small sampling & the richness & perfect amount of sweetness was superb. I can't wait to travel back & try some new holiday flavors! Also, customer service is as sweet as the pie's they serve. I love that they offer/sell a boxed sampling of a couple flavored cakes, plus icing for when you want to order a custom cake or cupcakes. Even the website is great! My only con, I wish they had pictures showing/sharing the difference between a 3 tiered cake & a 3 layered cake. Plus detailed names/titles of cake decoration options would be great. I was a complete virgin to ordering a custom cake & I honestly felt like a lost kid.

    I ordered an 8" cake for my niece's 18th birthday, a rainbow sprinkle cake. The cake was delivered…read morebut left at the door for 45mins before anyone realized it was there. Ringing the bell would've been nice but I guess too much to ask for. Decorated simply white and quite beautifully but the cake itself left a lot to be desired. The frosting was smooth and not sweet at all which was a concern. The cake itself had absolutely no flavor to taste and was quite greasy. This being my 1st time ordering from this business, I'm not sure if I'd give it another chance.
