Customer Reviews

"I have been coming here for well over a decade! A little hole in the wall! Love the waitress! If you want real authentic Mexican food, you need to come here. The chimichanga is the best in South Jersey!!"

- Maria T.

"My job takes everywhere. Was working in the area at a boat factory. Wanted some Mexican food. But I was still dressed in work clothes and kind of dirty. That did not matter here. See, I've spent too much time working in the Rio Grande valley in South Texas. Plus extensive time in the industrial area of Monterrey, Saltillo, and Mexico City. What I like about this place is it reminds me of the non-pretentious blue collar places to eat in my travels down south. Yes this place is Americanized some, but it sticks with it's roots. I was welcomed and handled a menu. Was told to let them know when I was ready. They set out some chips and salsa. Ordered Chicken Fajitas. It's what I always order. It did not disappoint. Prwwtnatuon good, food quality excellent. Served hot. Flavored fantastic. While I would like more "spice" it surprised me for being New Jersey. They took a stand on flavor and I respect it. If you are looking for solid food and a casual atmosphere where you can just eat.... This is it. I would gladly recommend this place to anyone and know I will return whenever I work in the area again."

The restaurant, best known for its lunch crowd, excels during peak times like Wednesdays at noon. However, visiting during quieter hours can provide an intimate dining experience. Parking is readily available, making access convenient. Don't forget to grab a side of horchata, a refreshing addition that complements your meal. The casual ambiance encourages mingling or simply enjoying the food.
