    Delicious authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. Staff is extremely friendly: I had only…read moregone a few times when the lady at the counter remembered my name. I recommend the package of three street tacos: you can get three different kinds from a number of selections. Call ahead or order through the app to save time, it's usually ready to be picked up in under ten minutes. Food has always been fresh and hot, I have never had a single experience that wasn't 10/10.

    I have a usual go to Mexican spot but I decided to try somewhere new today…read more I can always tell if a Mexican place will have good food by the rice... the bite of rice here was lackluster unfortunately and so were the rest to follow The shrimp quesadilla was a mystery. The cheese was rubbery and not hot. There was barely any shrimp or flavor in this dish The Al pastor burrito was also a little sad. The rice was flavorless, the meat was chewy but the spices were decent. the fries were probably the best thing that I ate, they were crispy. The guac was very very smooth but I like mine chunky with tomatoes, herbs and peppers but that's my preference. I also love when a Mexican spot gives fresh salsa and pico as service which I did not get The mango Al Fresca tasted so weird. It was like watered down not so good mango juice. I love the one at el nopolito so I was very disappointed it didn't taste similar Overall I wasn't happy with the flavors and quality of the food. I'll def be sticking to my usual Mexican food location

    Chef Mark & the team never disappoints us! We always come in on weekends for the paella, but…read moretonight ventured from the normal & tried the special cantina surf & turf. It was phenomenal. Steak was cooked perfectly, potatoes were on point & the grilled asparagus was seasoned &. Cooked perfectly. Not to be forgotten- the paella ( for 1 vs.2) was banging with all the seafood & chorizo. We even brought home the strawberry shortcake for dessert later & devoured it! Everyone makes you feel welcome & comfortable from beginning to end. As always, we always ask for Kim who is fabulous!! Definitely make a point to go this holiday weekend & treat yourself to a fabulous meal!!!

    What a nice treat!…read more Stopped in randomly on a lovely Saturday. Our server was a little unsure of the weekend offerings, but made sure to check and followed up with us. She was dealing with a pretty busy room, so kudos to her for remaining calm. I'm so happy they are able to offer a lunch special even on a Saturday. I went for the $12 nacho salad which came with a side of rice and beans. Fantastic. But my favorite part of the meal was actually the complimentary salsa and chips. HANDS DOWN AMONG THE BEST I'VE EVER EATEN. The salsa was killer, made from scratch, a nice tart tangy kick. The chips were hand made, nice and thick to hold the heft of the salsa and perfectly salted. Honestly, I could've slurped the salsa up on its own. I want to come back just for that!

    I was happily surprised by the food here: it's pretty good and fresh tasting. Husband got the beef…read morebiria tacos and he enjoyed it (he loved drinking all the extra juice)! 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.

    Friendly accommodating team. Nice and clean dining room and restrooms. Food was exceptional -…read moreespecially 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!

Loved the huevos rancheros, add chorizo, and the salsa verde chilaquiles were both packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. Easily one of the best brunch experiences in the area. Will be back for dinner!

    The only reason that this isn't a 5 star (yet), is because I've only been there once. I want to…read moremake sure their greatness is repeatable, but wow, what a great mexican meal. Located on the main strip on Haddon Ave, we wound up here quite by accident. When we walked in, and it was funeral parlor empty. The inside is nice, spacious and super clean, but zero customers had us feeling "uh oh." But our server came around the corner and ushered us into an adjoining room, equally as nice, that had a few other patrons dining. Fears alleviated, we sat down and got to ordering. The menu is great, with something from everyone. We got the birria burrito for me, lobster tacos for the Misses, mac and cheese for the Little One, and a side of Sweet Plantains for everyone. FIRST, god lord almighty....them sweet plantains are MAGICAL! They taste like French Toast. OMG......SOOO good. The rest of the food had an extremely high bar to live up to, and it did. Everything was fast, fresh and delicious. Even the price was tolerable. Our server was extremely nice, though I wish he would have written stuff down, as we had to remind him a couple of times about our requests. No biggie. We will, 100% be back, and if it's anything like last time, I have a feeling Paloma will be moving onto the 5-Star list quickly.
