I knew then that we would be back to have more before leaving. Located inside the Mexican grocery, it is certainly humble. There are some tables outside too for enjoying a meal outdoors as well. Service was very friendly and I could tell that everything was homemade with love. There are lots of places you can get a taco in OCNJ. But for a homemade flavor bomb you have to go to La Auténtica.

The place is a decent size so there are plenty of seats. It's certainly a hole-in-the-wall, no frills type of place. You're not coming here for the ambiance. We really wanted tacos, so that's all we ordered. We were disappointed to find that you couldn't really mix and match the meats. 1 order comes with 3 tacos so if you aren't coming with a big group or if you're not trying to have 30+ tacos you will be limited in what you can try. I wish I could've tried all of their tacos but I wasn't interested in taking a ton to go. We settled on the Tripa, Lengua, Cachete Res, and al Pastor. The tacos came out pretty quickly and they were pretty good. The meats were flavorful and the tortillas were solid. They weren't the best tacos I've ever had, but they were good. Aside from not being able to order just 1 taco, my other gripe is the price. 1 order of tacos is $15 and $5/taco is a little steep in my opinion. Sure these tacos are bigger than your average taco, but as someone who likes to order a variety I have to dock points. I wouldn't mind coming back to Pancho's, but it wouldn't be my first choice for food in AC.

The ironic part is that I ended up getting an omelet. Salt & Pepper is a small family run Mexican spot serving up delicious food all day long.

Staff is very attentive even when the takeout/delivery line is jumpin (busy). Next time I find myself in AC, I'm coming back.

Our lunch was fantastic and showed the same quality and care we love from the original location. The décor is beautiful and the staff is outstanding. You can feel the attention to detail in everything they do. The food is fresh, simply seasoned and consistently delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Avocado Salad and it was excellent. The grape tomatoes were sweet, the spring mix was abundant, and the grilled shrimp were seasoned perfectly. Some of the best shrimp flavor I have had so far. I chose the chipotle dressing and it was delicious. My husband had the Steak Sandwich on focaccia with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and grilled tomatoes. Outstanding. The fries were fresh, flavorful and not greasy. He also loved their Mexican hot chocolate made from scratch. A must every time. Parking is street and metered so you do have to pay, but it is easy and convenient. It is always nice to see Dolfino and his wife Lupay. They greet everyone warmly and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. This was our first visit to the new AC Café location and it was a great experience from start to finish. Isabella's continues to deliver quality, care and consistency. We will definitely be back.

The price is amazing, quality is outstanding, extremely authentic and service was great. A very small restaurant with maybe 3-4 tables but everything is very tight and a bit hot. No AC but one fan. My bf and I stopped by and we were the only ones dining inside, but the door constantly opened with customers picking up food. Our waitress was the friendliest and cutest person ever. Very happy and loved her job. This restaurant does not come with complimentary chips and salsa and the food (besides entrees) do not come with sides. However, the taste and quality is out of this world and so worth it! We ordered shrimp tacos, which came with 3pieces and extremely fresh. We also shared an order of the original tlayuda and chose mixed meat since the waitress recommended it. Very heavy and filling. Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu!

It had good reviews and Google suggested I might like it based on places I've been to here in Baltimore. So, you know I had to cross reference on Yelp, my most trusted source of recommendations. Yelp said, yes ma'am and I said say less. After some rooftop drinks at Vue bar, I stopped in for takeout. I only browsed the menu briefly, but I knew when I saw huaraches and tlayuda it was going be a hit! There's nothing like authentic Mexican. While I wanted to try a little bit of everything, I'm only one girl and I was traveling solo, so I ordered steak nachos, an al pastor torta, and a single lengua taco. The way I inhaled those nachos, the roof of my mouth be damned! They were so simple, just black refried beans, meat, queso fresco and some pickled veg, yet so delicious. The lengua taco had more of a shredded consistency than the tender chunks I'm used to, but the flavor was yummy and the torta was still great 3 days later. 10/10 would recommend!
