The churrasco (medium rare) is absolutely some of the best I've had. The chicken enchiladas were so comforting and filling. I almost never order chicken at restaurants because I'm afraid it will be dry - this was anything but. They have daily specials but you can't beat half off tacos on Taco Tuesdays. The carne asada tacos are great and come 4 to an order. The birria tacos come 3 to an order with a small cup of consommé. The highlight of this place is their house-made hot sauce. You can purchase it separately as well to take home. One is a habanera sauce and the other is an avocado jalapeño. I'm obsessed and use it on everything: chips, fish, steak, eggs.

"Perfect for sharing!"…read more We had a great delivery experience yesterday! We shared the "Bistec a la Tampiquena" plate, and it was plenty for two people. The Sirloin was cooked exactly as I requested--well-done but still very juicy and flavorful. Everything tasted like a traditional Mexican home-cooked meal, though the green enchilada had a fantastic Tex-Mex vibe that really stood out. Even the rice and beans were wonderful. To top it off, the staff was so helpful and kind when I called in the order. I'm definitely a returning customer now!

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Alllllll of the food was EXCELLENT and FRESH!!! ++++ Complimentary Tortilla Chips and Salsa - Pretty good for free chips and salsa, especially the salsa, which wasn't watery, like other restaurants. ++++ Parrilla Mixta - Sizzzzzling platter of skirt steak, shrimp, chorizo, chicken and fajita veggies smelled sooooo freakin' good ... and, of course, allll of it was phenomenal. Came with a side of delicious yellow rice and refried beans. ++++ Pancho Villa Platter - Neatly arranged skirt steak, 2 flautas and a salmon tostada on a bed of plain salad. Loved this as well. Everything in here was flavorful and delicious (minus the plain salad). This also came with a side of yellow rice and refried beans. ++++ Chicken Quesadilla - Huge and solid quesadilla. Our kids gobbled this up. ++++ Mango Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade were refreshing. + Decent size restaurant with 9 tables that can each seat 4 guests. Each table is nicely spaced out. + Authentic atmosphere with Mexican music playing, but not too loud, and Mexican art on the walls. + Service was fantastic all evening for our meal. ++++ Friendly waiters. Accommodated all of our requests. ++++ Food came out very quickly. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Unfortunately, parking can be tough on the block because you can only park across the street, so you'll probably have to look around the corners of the block. - Automatic 20% gratuity on all bills. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came here on a Saturday evening from 6-7:30 PM. Was relatively quiet when we arrived, but soon became pretty busy, to the point no tables were available.

This sweet restaurant is good vibes all around. Though the interior has some cool spaces, we tend…read moreto enjoy their outdoor patio for fair-weather meals. Service has been nothing but kind, helpful, and attentive every time we've gone. On our last visit, we were jonesing for happy hour and asked for the drink menu, only to discover they don't serve alcohol but they're BYOB. "And there's a wine and liquor store only two blocks away," our smiling server whispered conspiratorially. It was a genius idea. While we waited on our order, my husband jetted out for a 6-pack of Modelos and got back just as our chicken salad was being set down on the table. We asked for it to be timed as an appetizer, and I'd say the serving size might be closer to an appetizer than an entree. But the chicken pieces were well-marinated and delicious, making the salad a meaty entry point into our shared steak fajitas. These fajitas are a winner winner chicken - er, steak - dinner. Since we got it done medium well (my preferred doneness - feel free to judge me for it), I was worried about the steak being tough but these were tender enough for both my husband and I to emit a simultaneous "wow" at first bites. The sauce on them was also incredible, so much that we asked our server about it when he checked on us mid-meal. He crossed his heart and demurred, "It's a secret, so I can't really tell you," but when we pressed for more information, he admitted the main base was "lots of tomatoes". Well, whatever's in that magic sauce was good enough for us to drag our spoons against the near-empty fajita plate, trying to get every last drop of it. My husband and I have visited twice now, and our order has ranged from good to excellent (with those steak fajitas being the high winner thus far). There are a few parking spots in the front lot but being that this is in a quiet, residential area, there's plenty of parking to be found on the side streets if necessary.

Without us asking, the staff noticed and asked if it is ok to warm up the place. That really helped enhance the dining experience. Now the food, we shared the chicken fajita and the enchilada mi bandiera. The chicken fajita was so tasty, the chicken is made w chicken thigh. Some might not like that. We enjoyed it tremendously. The chicken and the veggies were very flavorful and grilled perfectly. They were a little stingy w only 3 tortillas but it's ok. The enchilada was also good. Good flavor but it was Luke warm. Would've been better if it was hotter. I very much enjoyed the home made hot sauce and their signature mole sauce. A good dining experience. Left satiated.

This restaurant is very…read morespacious with lots of neon signs, vibrant decorations, and plenty of bar seating to watch any game! The DJ booth and disco ball add to the fun atmosphere. Consistent service throughout. Our appetizers and entrees came out back to back. Our waiter still checked on us throughout and allowed us to take our time, we did not feel rushed. The chicken flautas and empanadas were perfect to share for appetizers. I ordered the chicken bowl which came with a variety of sauces, rice, beans, guacamole. Basically all the fixings for inside a taco. I really enjoyed it! My friend spoke highly of her chicken tacos as well. We originally wanted to order tres leches for dessert. However, it was frozen according to our waiter. We tried the churros instead, but they didn't taste as fresh. We loved our spicy margaritas and espresso martinis. This is definitely a fun place to visit especially if you are going to see a show at the Bergen PAC! It's right next door. Parking at times can be limited especially on a weekend.

I went to Mexcal Tequila Bar for Cinco de Mayo and it was a letdown. While it wasn't explicitly…read moreadvertised as Taco Tuesday, the promotion made it seem like there would be something special for the occasion, but there wasn't a single food or drink special. Based on past years and just general expectations for Cinco de Mayo, you'd expect at least some drink deals or themed offerings. The flyer is vague and ends up being misleading, it gets you in the door, but once you're seated, there's nothing different from a regular day. At minimum, there should have been some kind of special to match the holiday. This didn't live up to the expectations they set.

Chicken empanadas were baked and so yummy, 3 standard size so no minis as an appetizer. Food was flavorful and filling, enough that we needed to take home. They have a karaoke station which I was told they have going on certain nights. Music was fun and videos were showing old and new. Loved it. There was a service charge included in the bill so please read your receipt. We were a party of 2. Good spot I'd come again

And the guac was ALSO packed with flavor! I can't wait to try everything on their menu one day. I think the two tacos were packed enough to be good for a meal. I also love that they served it on a soft corn tortilla instead of flour. I basically used the radish slices to dip in the guac haha. The service was kind and quick for dine in. It is a little self serve style, but they brought the food to me and I put the plate away. The restaurant itself is bright cute and playing some Latin pop music in the background. Enjoy.

So I decided to drive all the way to Hackensack. The girl at the front counter was sweet and answered a couple of my questions before I decided to get the steak bowl with no beans, a birria taco, a watermelon agua fresca and a side of chips. The taco was good, nice kick to it and the tortilla was nicely crisped. The drink was super refreshing and not overly sweet. The bowl was good but something was off on the flavor, couldn't put my finger on it. Was not a fan of the rice, and I see other views note the same. Food came out hot and fast, additional sauce on the counter too. Maybe I'll try the Paterson location again because they have a fish option that Hackensack does not have.

The ambience of the place was very interesting and they definitely tried to put a lot into their space. The food was good! The outside sitting area was nice and I liked how try did a good effort to take you away from the fact that this place is situated off a major highway and a major road. Guacamole was freshly made at your table, drinks tasted good, dinner tasted good as well as dessert! THE BAD. The service kind of began to lack by the time we got dessert. Once we were served dessert, our server was no where to be found to get the check and settle up for the night. The only other complaint is the pork and beans side was just ok and a couple of dishes were a bit pricier than I have gotten it elsewhere. Overall, the flavors were good and there was enough food.
