I asked her why did she leave the cheese on the side and she said "stop barking. if you like it on top than grab a spoon and do it yourself." I also was told a 20 minute wait and had to wait 30-40 minutes for some tacos. She also had one pair of gloves the whole time she was going back into the kitchen to touch food and back to the register. Super unsanitary!!!!

I know it's my fault for giving a 3rd chance, but the 2 stars are because the food that arrives hot is delicious. We contacted DoorDash and they were of course no help. We requested they have the restaurant make and send the rest of our order but they said the restaurant refused to do so. Half of our family's meal was missing tonight so we likely wont be giving a 4th chance and you shouldn't either.

I could sum up my experience in one word: Salty…read more Las Aves came highly recommended by some locals, so I placed a takeout order through their website last night for Americano ground beef tacos, no tomatoes, and added sides of chips, queso, crema, and 4 oz. rice. My order total was roughly $20 after taxes, tip, and a random $1 online ordering fee. Since I added so many sides, I decided to check on my order when I picked it up. The sides were correct, except I erroneously ordered queso fresco instead of queso blanco (womp), but the tacos were covered in tomatoes. They corrected it and made me fresh tacos in just a few minutes, which I appreciated. My first bite into the tacos tasted like pure salt. Unfortunately, they didn't get any better. They were also pretty greasy, and my stomach wasn't a huge fan by any means. I ordered them with hard shell tacos, which was an upcharge, and they tasted way overcooked. All told, I just didn't enjoy the dish. The chips were extra salty too. I heard the rice was good though. I'm probably being generous with a 3-star rating, but I'm hoping it was just a bad night for them. It does seem like this spot is hit or miss based on other reviews here. I wouldn't be opposed to trying them once more on a future trip to Jersey, maybe next time I'll do a sit-down dinner, as their dining space looked quite nice and they even had outdoor seating too.

The Real Deal: If you're in the mood for some authentic Mexican food, handmade tortillas and fresh,…read moresavory ingredients definitely show this restaurant some love. FYI: it's tucked away inside of a small shopping center. Be Careful: They serve complimentary tortilla chips and 4 different dipping sauces, which are all different levels of spicy (the red sauce being least spicy and the green the hottest). But the level of spice will sneak up on you, so try a little bit at a time because the kick will come with the after taste. These spices are hand-crafted and unlike any I've had at even some of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. Come Hungry: The portions are big so come hungry because it will be the last meal you'll need for the day. Feel Good Eating Here: The server we had was patient, kind and willing to explain what certain things were that we didn't understand on the menu. She made recommendations and advised us about the spice level of certain items. I took off one star because it was kind of cold in there. They had an ineffective space heater I guess to supplement the building heat but it wasn't sufficient. But all in all, I'd still recommend.

I ordered the chicken fajitas with no peppers, only to be told that they coudn't accomodate that request. Apparently they don't cut their own onions & peppers anymore, it comes in as a mix. I'm sorry, but if someone orders no peppers, accomodate them. The fajitas came out not sizzling and stuck to the cast iron skillet. Chicken was lukewarm so it was sitting in the kitchen for a bit. The tortillas used to be in a basket wrapped in a napkin to keep them warm & soft. Not anymore. They came on the skillet with the lukewarm chicken & they were hard around the edges. More evidence of food just sitting around. I loved the chicken fajitas there, that place was what made me even like fajitas. Unfortunately, they have lost me as a customer. They've even changed the way the do the tortilla chips. I don't think they're homemade anymore. They taste like they were dumped out of a bag into a basket. I'm sure these decisions were made to save money. Well, in an attempt to save money, you have sacrificed the quality of the food. Horrible!!!!!
