Make sure you check your order before leaving. We ordered a steak burrito and 3 asada tacos. The burrito didn't have beans or rice, and my tacos were missing onions and chives. They do give a fair amt of meat, but it was tasteless and dry. Most mexican restaurants food has flavor. Very dissatisfied, food was late when arrived in this area on a Sunday. Only a few choices for food in this location. Price we paid approx $35, kinda pricey for these two items. Customer service was quick, but they need to pay attention to orders. read more

Very good food, though maybe a touch inconsistent. Reasonable prices. Menu is a bit different from your usual American Mexican restaurant, and that's a positive. read more

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I wish the red and green sauces that they give you were way more spicy. Otherwise I love the food here. Also would love for them to add a spicy carnitas option for the chimichangas read more

Tonight, the family and I decided to try out this restaurant we have heard many good reviews of. Greeted by a nice young lady and seated by the window. The atmosphere is cozy comfy, with the festival flags and pictures and wall hangings added to the Mexican vibe. The gave is a nice portion of chips with refried beans with cheese on top, which was very tasty and enough for the 3 of us. Our appetizer: we decided on the guacamole and chips, and it came out piled high, filled with nice chucks of guacamole, tomato, and onion. The flavors were very good, you can tell it was made fresh and the taste was great, we especially loved the smaller chips as it allowed a nice heaping of Guacamole. The dinners: Shrimp Tacos- I had ordered those, they arrived still hot and the tortilla was nice and hot too. The flavors of the shrimp with a light seasoning and cilantro and onion was a mouth explosion of flavors. The soft tortilla was cooked to perfection, not burnt or over cooked, it was perfect. I drilled the lime over each taco and added the red house made hot sauce, and the flavors were enhanced further. Beef Burrito - my 14 year old eating machine - devoured this large, highly stuffed beef burrito. I did take a bite, and it was another epic pallet explosion of flavors. The burrito was stuffed with beef, tomatoes, lettuce,and onion. The side guacamole my son loved as it was the same as the appetizer, and he would take the guacamole and smear a nice heap onto the burrito. He stated the rice was very good, fresh, and the taste was "lit" whatever that meant. And he added some of the red and green hot sauces to it to give it an extra kick. The Quesadilla - The wife ordered this huge chicken one. She said it was cooked excellent, the chicken was not dry, very flavorful and a good helping of cheese inside. The corn tortilla was cooked nicely and it came out hot, she said she the refried beans were excellent and very good. She had a nice helping of lettuce, sour cream, and the mix of salsa. She said the salsa was made fresh and was amazing. Desert - I decided to try the Mexican Carmel Flan, as I never had Carmel flan, and I really like it. Well, that was a mouth experience, and I wanted more. It was a nice big piece of flan, perfect consistency, texture, with a nice hint of Carmel and not overpowering the flan. The side drizzle of raspberry and chocolate puree just added a nice slight decedent flavor to the already flavorful flan. Now, by far, the best I have had. Overall Experience - They were busy, 4 tables filled with patrons, and several walk-in take out orders, and the phone was busy. The atmosphere put me in a festive mood, and it was a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. The waitress was pleasant, friendly, and helpful with our questions. The food came out. I felt as expected for fresh home made on the spot at the time of order. Overall, in the end, we can't wait to go for the top quality food, atmosphere, and service. It's nice to have this restaurant close to home and fresh cooked Mexican cuisine. Well done! read more

Literally the best Mexican food we have ever had. Everything is homemade in their kitchen. My husband ordered the Molcajete, which is a large and hot black lava pot stuffed with grilled beef, shrimp, chicken, cactus, pico de Gallo, Mexican string cheese, mixed sauce and grilled onions. It was served served with a side of rice, beans, salad and warm tortillas. I got the beef fajitas. For dessert we had huge pieces of the homemade flan. The food was so good we came back the next night with two friends. They ordered the Molcajete and mariated pork with pineapple and raved about it. We had a huge side of homemade guacamole and warmed tortilla chips. This time I ordered the whole deep fried tilapia garnished with lime, and the sides of rice, beans, salad and guacamole. There was so much food, yet we had to have the delicious flan again. Great place, and you can byob. read more

I've been all over California and Mexico in pursuit of the perfect tacos. The tacos from this restaurant easily beat the majority of tacos I've had on that quest. They are unbelievably good. Flavorful, perfectly cooked steak, excellent spicy salsa, incredible tortillas and generous portions. I will definitely come here again read more

We love this place. We've been there so many times, I think we have tried everything on the menu at least once. Authentic cuisine. It ain't just tacos and burritos. The owners are friendly and do everything from cooking to serving. Highly recommended. read more

The food here is so good! We really enjoyed their fun decor and casual ambiance. The walls are a bright green with brightly colored tablecloths under glass toppers. The tables are perfectly placed to make you feel among the other diners but far apart enough to talk privately. Both American and Mexican flags adorn the windows. One of us had the most popular dish, another a chimichanga and the other steak (asada) tacos. Each dish was fresh and flavorful. The beans were so delicious, the corn tortillas soft and tasty and the guacamole was wonderful. All were so fresh. We couldn't get over how a slice of the Mexican coast landed in downtown Lakehurst. We will be back read more

Went to Taqueria and did not find the food as good as the previous reviews. The Chimichanga (Chicken) was very "thick" Pastry, filled with little pieces of chicken and smothered in a white cheese sauce. Everything was bland. Also had the chicken fajitas, which came out sizzling - great presentation, but again, bland. Rice was meh, the guacamole was great. Atmosphere was pleasant. Sorry to say, I cannot recommend this place. read more

The birria de res is outstanding. The beef is so tender and the broth is very tasty. Kick it up a notch with the spicy sauce that comes with it on the side. Shrimp tacos were delectable. read more

The food here was absolutely phenomenal and the service was great too. I ordered the enchiladas michoacanas and let me tell you, the flavor and spice and just everything about it was great. I took leftovers home, but they didn't last long. My husband and I shared nachos for the appetizer and those were amazing too. Then he got the burrito and that sucker was big. We definitely send our compliments to the chef and waitress. I sadly can't remember her name, but the woman who waited on us was prompt and so very kind. I would say it's priced great for the quality of the food you're served and the service you receive. I highly recommend eating here. I will be going here again read more

This restaurant lacks flavor in their food, the only good thing I ate here was the guacamole, that's all! The tortilla chips they serve were very hard to chew and the sauce that come so with it was very bland. The steak had a a weird taste and smell to it. Will not go here anymore. read more
