“ Best Birria tacos! Everything I've ever ordered is great .Authentic Mexican food. My go to spot for Mexican. ”
“ Food incredible. Staff super friendly and warm! Ive had the elote, the flautas, the tacos...omg and the horchata! Everything delicious! ”
“ So, I realize I'm all late and wrong here, but I wanted to correct my review rather than remove it. This place has made me a believer... their delivery is now very quick and the al Pastor Quesadilla is now one of my favorite things in the world. I only went with 4 stars because their nachos have been disappointing. However, if ordering, anything you get with the marinated pork will be amazing ('cept maybe the nachos). ”
“ Tacos were good and service was fast. Definitely authentic Mexican food. I have been there a few times and have tried a few different dishes. Everything has been good. ”
“ In my opinion, this is one of the best Mexican food I have ever try!! The spicy sauce is on point!!! Also, the staffs are so nice and take care of you right away ”
“ Delicious, authentic great price always satisfies. The decor on the inside is absolutely great. Definitely don't feel like you're in Roselle New Jersey once you step in the door. ”
“ Ordered the some Tortas and Flautas Recommend the Cencina. All those tortas hit the spot.Quick delivery. ”
“ I almost don't want to say how terrific this place is because it's our secret Mexican spot! We have been going to this restaurant for years and love everything we have tried. It's all authentic: tacos, tortas, entrees and a few dishes which were new to me. Their chips and salsa alone are good enough to come back for! Service is typically not rushed, so go when you're not in a hurry and enjoy those chips while you wait. ”
“ So delicious. Ordered chicken mole enchiladas and quesadillas. Very her to find good mole sauce and this was perfect! The quesadillas were a little bland they could have used some onions inside. No guacamole on the side either. But I ordered an horchata was so tasty too! Will definitely order from here again. ”
