    the interior of a mexican restaurant
    Mike V.

    After a few visits I gotta say I love this place. Everything I've had here I have truly enjoyed. Tacos are fully loaded, burrito bowl had a slew of flavors, textures and temperature. Lamb batbacoa burrito was a masterpiece. Tough to finish but I'm no quitter. The decor is beautiful. Every square inch is painted in bright, cheerful colors. The walls are adorned with Mexican wrestlers and the required skulls. The staff are all friendly and attentive. Bonus- it's a BYO. Perfect date night spot or pre-show at The Williams Center- walk out the back door and you're there.

    The tacos at this place are to die for - real authentic Mexican food. This place is same owner as Sonoma up the block from this spot. Similar service and delicious food. These guys have a great theme going - delicious food and great service. They make you feel like you're home. The decor is excellent and there are so many memorabilia. I love coming here. Keep up the great work guys.

    Short Rib burrito
    Pete B.

    As we continue our food adventures, we made it to Nacho Libre in Rutherford. Parking is rough. We ordered take out and my wife dropped me off and I ran in to pick it up while she drove around the block a few times. Inside was very casual. You can eat there as well and it looked like they had an outdoor patio in the back. Very cool, laid back vibes. Service was on point and everything was ready when I got there. I got the short rib burrito which was out of this world. The meat was very tender and excellently seasoned. Could've used a little more sour cream/ guac or salsa in there to kick it up a notch but very solid. My son got the Pollo al Chipotle and the chicken was very tender and he said it wasn't spicy. Chicken was cooked on the bone and came with rice and beans. We also got a side of chips and guac. They just need to give you a little more of that guac. It was good but you're left with a half a bag of chips and nothing to dip them with. The chips themselves did have a little punch to them as well which I loved. Definitely worth a shot if you're looking to change it up in my opinion.

    New spot in downtown Rutherford. Great addition. Came for an early dinner on Friday night. Downtown Rutherford is nice and active around this time. I decided to sit outside. You go in and order your food, pay, and get a number while you wait for the food to be made. I had to get birria tacos (short rib... you can also choose lamb). They bring you the consome of course and also red and green salsa. Salsas were great flavor and kick was there too. Loved the flavor of the meat. Tortilla was perfect thickness and had a slight crispy to it. Maybe only complaint, wish i got my radish - I love adding that to my tacos. Service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try the lamb next time.

    First time here and we came back a few days later! Authentic Mexican cuisine and great service. First time here we started with the chips and guac. We really enjoyed it, guac was so delicious and the chips had a nice seasoning to them. For my entree I had the birria tacos (which I forgot to take a picture of!) but they were so delicious I ordered it the second time we came. They were perfectly packed with seasoned birria meat, cheese, onion and cilantro alongside a cup on consume to dip. If you like melt in your mouth tacos with a bit of a kick these are a great choice! My son enjoyed his burrito he ordered it again the second time but they got his protein incorrect - no problem, though he still enjoyed it! I was worried the birria would be a bit too spicy for my spicy loving son anyway. The chicken nachos are loaded with toppings (YUM!). If there's anything that could've been better about them, it'd be adding a bit more chips to balance out the leftover toppings after all the chips were eaten. The horchata is great, tastes like a dessert to me every time - so delicious! The churros were also delicious, they had some dulce de leche creme inside and came with a dipping sauce that paired nicely with it. The ambience is relaxed with lots of Mexican decor and luchadores (it is called nacho libre like the movie lol). It's paid for (meter) street parking mainly, but not too bad during the weeknights. Overall, service was great, food was delicious, and this is definitely a spot that'll be on my go to list if I'm craving authentic Mexican cuisine.

    Food was absolutely delicious, well priced, and quick service. My business colleague and I both tried the birria burrito and it was absolutely delicious. Nothing about it I would change whatsoever. You are coming here for simple Mexican street food, done well. You will not be disappointed.

    I love it here! Fresh, authentic Mexican food at a great price! The decor is very festive with a touch of Mexico. The seating can become tight when it's crowded, and it's street parking only. There are three sauces, but the green sauce is the best! Tons of options, and staff is friendly. This is my new to go Mexican spot.

    Carnitas Tostadas
    Dawn A.

    If you haven't tried Taqueria NACHO LIBRE yet, this is an amazing (fairly newer) Taqueria that serves Mexican food. I don't understand why this place isn't totally packed every time I go in there. This is the most authentic Mexican food that I've had around here. (Although I do love El Azteca quite a bit). It feels like everything here is made with a lot of love, which gives each dish a lot of flavor. I always get the burrito bowls. One of those dishes is Al Pastor Pork and the other one is with steak. The little guy is eating Carnitas Tostadas. And it's pretty affordable TOO, $13 for most of these dishes here, and you can bring your own beer or spiked seltzer. The place looks super cute with their theme of Mexican wrestlers all over the restaurant. I think they need to advertise a little bit more on social media, or something, because this seems like the type of place that out-of-towners would come to just to try their delicious food. (I couldn't even find their location to tag on Facebook, so I just created a location for them.....Lol).

    Food was delicious and tasted fresh. Plenty of seating even for a party of 5. Service was attentive.

We were then told which I believe should've been the owner or manager we had to move to a different table and he'll give us a free margarita on the house. Our waiter arrived to wipe down the table because the table we were changed to was dirty and we put in a order for drinks and a appetizer and asked if she can come back in 5 minutes to take our main dish order. It took over 20 minutes to get our drink and our waiter quickly rushed away and this was the last interaction we had and got checked up on from this point. Keep in mind we got seated at 8:15 PM and we got our drinks around 8:45. From this point no one came up to us to put in our entree order and me and my date were starving and our waiter was serving others around us but was completely ignoring us and rushing away. Finally after 9:30 PM after more than 1 hour of not receiving our appetizer we put or nor our waiter putting in our main dish I asked for the check for the 2 drinks I ordered and left. Never have I ever gotten up from a restaurant table and left because of bad service and I been here at this spot couple times and even on holidays and never received this treatment. The manager then gave us complimentary appetizer and dessert but at this point I wanted to leave and did not even touch it. I shouldn't have to complain and ask for my check for you guys to finally give what I wanted. On top of that we never got the free drinks we were promised. Thanks agave for messing up my valentines date night, we ended up eating Wendy's 10 piece chicken nuggets and fries that were given to us in 2 minutes.

The guacamole didn't taste fresh at all and the chicken in the flautas had no flavor. For dinner, I had the enchiladas suizas. The chicken was the same chicken used in the flautas aka flavorless and the tomatillo "salsa" did not taste like salsa at all. It actually tasted more like the "avocado mousse" that the flautas were drenched in. My husband had the carnitas michoacan and he said they were just okay/super greasy/wouldn't get them again. Both our meals were supposed to come with rice and beans, but they only bought one side for us to share. When I looked around the restaurant, it seemed like they only bring one side per table regardless of party size. This to me is a rip off especially since this place is pricey. My 2 year old was also with us and we got him chicken fingers and fries from their very limited kids options. When I asked if he can have rice and beans instead of fries, they said no. You're a Mexican restaurant - maybe put a taco option with rice and beans on the kids menu. For dessert, we got tres leches- it was fine. The only other things ordered were a cocktail and a beer. We waited SOOOO long to get the bill and even longer for someone to come back to take our payment. With tip included- our total was about $180. That is very steep for the quality and quantity of food. Sadly, I don't think we will return.

VERY simple looking from the outside but extremely inviting atmosphere and decor when you get in. It is street parking only on a busy main street. I got lucky and scored a spot directly in front of the restaurant on this rainy evening. We started with the Quesadilla with steak in a corn tortilla. This is what really brought it down from 5 to 4 stars. Keep in mind, this was the equivalent to our appetizer, so we were very nervous after this. Extremely lack luster. Disappointingly little steak and even less cheese. It was as if we were eating a piece of a corn tortilla. Avoid the quesadilla. We then shared an order of enchiladas. Things were getting better. Enchiladas were solid. Nice kick to the green sauce with pieces of pineapple to hit you with a left hook. Came with rice and beans as well. This could've been a meal but we decided to share this to try different things. The burrito was the final thing on the menu. I got the Al Pastor burrito and it was excellent. Very tasty and well put together. Only thing that struck me odd was that it came with French fries opposed to rice and beans. I kind of would've enjoyed it a lot more with the rice and beans as the fries were average at best. I ordered online as I was stuck in traffic and everything was ready when I got there, which was prior to the estimated pickup time. All in all, very solid meal and there's plenty of seating if you're looking to dine in as well.
