We spent $63 on take out from here and it all went in the trash when we got home. The fish tacos were so dry and flavorless, while the burrito was soaked and couldn't be picked up. Quesadilla didn't have much cheese and you don't get any sour cream or salsa for it. We literally threw it all out and... More

Most authentic Mexican in South Jersey. All meats are pulled, salsa is pico-esque, guacamole is so fresh. You can BYOT (bring your own Tequilla) for margaritas. Taco Happy Hour is from 3-4pm, $1.50 all tacos. The green hot sauce is not too hot, the habenero is extremely hot. Good attentive service. Will definitely return!

We thought to give this place a try for some tacos and burritos. We arrived as taco happy hour was occurring so our timing was good. We ordered a bunch of tacos and burritos as well as some nachos. There were 4 people in our party with 2 of the 4 large eaters. The food came out quick and was... More

It was a really nice escape (many times) to The Real Enchilada, for their DELICIOUS Frozen Custard of all things!!! They had a .99 cent special for a soft serve vanilla (only... More

We are from Austin, so no Mexican anywhere comes close, but we have enjoyed this spot for years. Nice outside seating, very polite and attentive service. Fresh ingredients, prices are fine. Give it a try, go for a burrito.

This appears to be under new management and that's for the better. My wife and I had Fish Tacos, nicely done. Son and daughter-in-law enjoyed the freshness of the Quesadilla and Chimichanga respectively. The vegetables used were very, very fresh (a pleasant surprise), the Salsa, fresh-made, and tortilla chips were excellent. Manager had a great sense of humor and we... More
