    We were looking for a Mexican Restaurant in Highland Park to eat dinner and we found this place that's still open late. We ordered Chicken Fajitas and Bistec Encebollado. The chicken fajita meat is soft, moist and taste great with sautéed sweet peppers and onions, it's delicious. The beef Bistec was thinly sliced but dry and a bit hard. Well lighted and nice decorated Mexican Restaurant. Service staff a one man team. He's the Cashier, Bus Boy and Server. He's friendly and attentive. But make sure that you ask for the latest price since their menu is not updated. Limited parking space and street parking is not metered parking.

    This restaurant has been on my list of places to check out for some time now. I went here on a Saturday night and the place was empty. The food was very authentic and service was great. I'm used to more of Tex mex food so this was a nice change.

    This is one of our two local Mexican spots. Super nice people who take great pride in their restaurant. My daughters often choose this spot for their tacos. I try to order something new each visit. The last time we stopped I had the tostadas from the lunch menu. Full range of Mexican sodas. Most meals come with Spanish rice and beans. Service can be slow but they recently hired new people to help out so I think that issue will resolve itself soon.

    Chicken burrito

    Tried to place on order on GrubHub on a Sunday before noon, but the app said it was going to take over an hour. So we decided to call in and it was about a an half hour instead for four orders. I went with the chicken burrito, which was good, but it was nothing special. The grilled chicken inside was not particularly exciting. However, I do appreciate that they put a good amount of chicken in there. I was only able to finish half the burrito and saved the rest for the next day. We only ordered here because we were in the area and needed a quick lunch spot to pick up some food, so I don't really see us coming back here.

    Good food, nice menu, good prices, generous servings, good service, in a clean and bright space. There's also a huge selection of bottled Mexican sodas. Lunch is a few dollars cheaper than dinner, and is a slightly smaller portion, but not by much, so the price is right whenever you go. Once I got to chat with the daughter of the owner, and she talked about the restaurant with so much pride, it just made for a delightful dining experience!

    Reasonable priced lunch menu items - 2 tacos for $10 with beans and rice. Service was not slow but the food was delicious

    Some of the best guacamole I have ever had. This is a great little spot to get some authentic and delicious Mexican food. Reasonable prices. Although they forgot to cook my good and it took a while for my dinner and the service was a bit slow, I would definitely come back.

    Amazing flavor.... Huge chili relleno plate. Taco Al pastor and asada had good flavor. Service was great.... Nice young lady. Appreciate the music in the back ground. Cute building ....enjoyed my visit to NJ

    Flautas
    Jennifer D.

    Spacious, clean and very cute inside. Service was friendly. The complimentary warm chips and salsa were nice. Food was a little disappointing though. I had the flautas and my husband had the camarones a la Mexicana. Both were decent but lacking flavor. My husband covered his in hot sauce to help it out. Overall, not a bad meal. But probably won't be back to try out other dishes.

    My bistec asado, with a steak threatening to droop off my plate. Loads of food!

I understand places get busy but management at FC has to be really clueless when it comes to "switching on" the availability on those platforms. Every time I call to ask if they deliver, I usually get a sarcastic response like yea duh of course we do but again staff is totally clueless that they haven't made themselves available on the platform. I wonder how much these guys are losing on deliveries or maybe this is a subtle hint that they don't want to deal with it because they're taking a loss on Postmates, Uber Eats, and Doordash. I can't be the only one experiencing this. To management: if you guys don't want to deal with these delivery services, cancel them and stop misleading people that you deliver. If you decide to keep them, talk to your account manager at said platforms and educate yourselves and your staff on how to use them so you can be more profitable in the delivery space. It's tough out there and it would be a shame if you guys lose business and the other Mexican spot in the neighborhood closes you out because they have staff that stays on top of operations. I'm done trying to give this place business and reminding them to update their availability.

First, staff is super -super nice!! helpful when trying to decide what to order. Mini Me and I both chose three tacos carne asada with the smokey roja sauce. Hubby had the same but as a burrito. For the sides we had chips and guacamole and the Mexican street corn. Drink were Horchata (Obviously). Tacos and burrito were stuffed, and absolutely delish. They have a self serve salsa bar with the three salsa, the smokey roja, salsa verde and habanero. Let me just say I tried all three- fantastic heat to flavour ration and I poured the habanero on my tacos so good! in fact the smokey roja with the salsa verde is a great combination !! Seating area outside is much larger than inside, we sat inside at a table that had just become available- they do a super brisk take out business and we didn't wait very long for our food to be ready. In fact, my husband and Mini-Me - all three of us, agreed we would for sure make the drive again to have tacos here!! If you are in the area or at school near by- you have to come here at least once, to try the food. I paid for my hubby since he was not my +1 and his meal was about $16. so that in itself is very very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We were very pleased with the food, service and price point.

If you were going past here too fast you would definitely miss it It is a small restaurant that faces a big hole in the ground in New Brunswick. Parking is New Brunswick parking, if you've parked in New Brunswick you know it to expect. If you've never parked in New Brunswick try circling around a few times and if you don't have any luck with the meters you might have to pay for one of the decks, fortunately there was one right around the corner from this place. When I came in I already knew what I wanted to try, The namesake menu item that has been pretty popular lately. There were a few tables downstairs, and there was a stairwell upstairs that I never ventured up. The few times I visited here I've always found first four seating and never felt the need to see what was up the stairs. The tacos came out a little while after ordering and they looked really good. I think this was my first time consciously trying Iberia tacos and they were very good. I might not be the best person to judge this is I've never had other ones. But I was satisfied with what I had and the broth that it was served with was delicious. I have been back since, and will likely be back again. If you're in the mood for some good tacos you should check this place out.
