The food is amazing! Freshly made, with solid authenticity and flavors. The service could be better, staff may be short of staff since you may not even think anyone works there. The staff works in the kitchen and occasionally is seen near the counter. You may have to walk up if something is needed. There are booth style tables and high top with chairs to choose from. You could BYOS (bring your own supplies) (napkins/toilet paper/hand-soap). The bathroom isn't the most clean, it's for customers only and only one person at a time. The hand soap dries out your hands. Toilet paper is small and thin. Again the food is amazing. read more

We went during the July 4th weekend and when we entered the restaurant there was no staff member to be found. I learned that the cook was running it by herself which wiped my impatience out the window. The wait was definitely worth it. The food was amazing and she was also sweet even under the pressure of attending 3 tables. The horchata was also delicious. The nachos were freshly made. This was the first time I visited but I will re-visit whenever I get the chance to have the delicious authentic Mexican food. read more

Small restaurant. It was empty when we arrived. If you go in, view the menu from the website. We tried the beef tacos in corn tortillas with lettuce, tomato and avocado (those were all the toppings). We also got the chicken cheese and beef cheese empanadas. Tacos and empanadas were good. The green sauce is ok. The red sauce is better. They have a bathroom. read more

Authentic Mexican dishes! We tried tacos, sandwiches, empanadas, and more. Try their sandwiches, nothing here tasted like the other dishes I was trying, despite using the same basic ingredients. I appreciated the distinction between all my dishes I ordered and I absolutely stuffed my face! The red hot sauce is HOT. The ingredients were used perfectly to highlight the flavor profiles you would be seeking if you want to feel like you are sitting in a Mexican cantina. Their rice and beans were probably the best I have had under Mexican specialty, obviously don't expect Cuban or Puerto Rican recipes, you will not find that kind of rice. This is the lightly seasoned, orange rice paired with black beans. No extra frill but done well! The servings are good, I would probably change the styrofoam take out containers to another means, because it melts the hot food is placed and packaged. read more

Ate here once when we stayed in the area for a long weekend. It was pretty quiet in here when we arrived, only 1 or 2 other customers. Place seemed authentic though and reasonably priced. The chips and guac were legit, I liked how they made their own chips. The waitress recommended we try them. I think it was the best part of the meal. The tacos were decent, at first. Tried several different meats and shrimp tacos. We got them topped with everything. I did feel a bit queasy later and I have a pretty strong stomach, which is why only 3 stars. Tasted good when I was eating them, but not sure I would risk going back. If it weren't for that, I was going to go back the next night to try the pumpkin flower quesadilla...I love squash blossoms! Maybe if I venture back into the area I will make an exception. read more

Can't believe i go pick up are more expensive then I order from Uber eats! But $16 for the flautas was overpriced, last time I order Uber eat was only $12 , how come I go pick up the price was $16 ? Won't go back ! Sorry. read more

Took the kids, we love the food in the Perth Amboy location so figured we would try their 'restaurant' its more a cafe with just a few tables but super authentic food. Tacos, grilled chicken, burritos, enchiladas, homemade chips, salsa and guac, great smoothies..try the tamarind sticks for a spicy and sweet treat. Family run place, support them but don't look for a fancy place it's hightop tables and bright lights but really, really tasty and reasonable, table for seven $80! read more

I'm from out of town but this place was impressively good for it's unassuming storefront. You get delicious food at a great value. I tried the carnitas quesadilla, chicken and potato empanada, and mango smoothie (with water). The quesadilla was more like a big taco, it wasn't two tortillas sandwiching stuff as I expected but it still tasted really good. They have indoor dining right now. read more

VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PLACE. I used to frequent the other place in perth amboy, love their food then moved further south so now frequent this one. The food is good, but place must either be going out of business or soon will. They open when they want, they start delivery when they want, or don't even open or deliver at all. The food is delivered spilled all over the place, and this time i ordered its now 2 hours later and I have no food and no one has called me. STAY AWAY FROM HERE FOR DELIVERY..... Too bad food is always tasty read more

Chalupas, and a burrito without lettuce...that's what we ordered. A chalupa is a fried shell tortilla not a soggy one. The employee told us multiple time when we politely asked about our order "this isn't Taco Bell" in all honestly we'd have been better off ordering Taco Bell than this "authentic " Mexican cuisine. We were told "we got what we deserved" when we called to discuss the errors in the order. Unprofessional at best. read more

Beware of this place they will rob you and tell you the prices on the menu arent accurate. Charged us $50 for 5 tacos, rice and beans and a salad. I added up the menu prices to $36. Rude too. read more

My wife and I frequent the Perth Amboy location. The food there is terrific! When we heard another location was opening, we had to check it out. The quality is the same. If you are into tacos, this is your heaven. I highly recommend trying the shrimp tacos. All of the ingredients are fresh and the prices are really reasonable. If you are looking for good Mexican food, this place puts all the others to shame. You should definitely check it out! read more

WOW is all the hubby and I can say! It's a quaint little place with only a few tables, very simple but nice decor. The staff is very friendly and the food was VERY fresh. The guacamole and chips were freshly made and tasted delicious. I had the chicken flautas and the cotija cheese was on point! The beef burrito was also packed perfectly and very tasty. For dessert we had churros and they were the perfect way to end the meal. read more

Just as delicious as the perth amboy restaurant with more seating and a great location by the amusements.

Driving through the Burg and came across this place.. I absolutely love real Mexican food (not taco bell).... I only ordered two tacos: chicken and steak. Chicken was delicious and the steak was a little dry ... Overall they were both really good. I will definitely go back and try more. Price vs food was good. Not to expensive not to cheap. Two tacos and water 6 bucks.. Place was clean and the two ladies working were very friendly. read more

Delicious! I highly recommend this cute little Mexican spot. The food is very authentic. The enchiladas were outstanding.

Go-to taco and tamale spot at the bayshore....amazing food and nice staff.

The best local Mexican food I've ever had. I've eaten here nearly every day since i found out they'd opened. If you're looking for authentic Mexican dishes with homemade, preservative free quality ingredients, come here. They even make their own salsa verde and red hot sauces on site. The only word to describe this place is phenomenal. Clean, friendly, and delicious. Stop missing out! read more

Just went here with my hubby and our daughter for takeout. Staff was very friendly. Tacos were absolutely DELISH! Everything was fresh. Fresh water smoothies were great! Empanadas were on point at well. Only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because this is only my first trip and I have not tried everything but I definitely will be returning in the near future. read more

Excellent, fresh mexican food. The gringas, chicken quesadilla, and meat tacos were delicious. Our favorite was the flautas... the best I've ever had. Really tasty rice and beans. The server added 2 complimentary coconut flan desserts and I ordered 2 rice puddings... my daughter and I loved both. Fresh guaculmole is worth trying too. It was an amazing feast. You will not regret a trip to Keansburg for great mexican food read more

Yummy everything tasted authentic and fresh will definitely go back ordered the flautas and a variety of meats very well prepared .

Fresh and delicious Mexican! It's a casual spot offering some of the best Mexican in the area. The quesadillas are amazing especially with the el pastor pork.

It's a must try! read more
