I’ve been coming here for almost 30 years and it’s my favorite taco place anywhere. So worth the drive from Hunterdon county. Friendly service and the best tacos at reasonable prices.

Authenticity is the key stone of the food here and we’re delighted with our selections. Place is really busy and the smell of the food makes me really hungry. Food was served quick and very tasty.

Food was really yummy! Servers were all very friendly and helpful. Food was prompt and hot. We ordered quesadilla, tacos, chimichanga, grilled marisco, and the tlayuda. Flavorful and fresh. Would recommend to others. Bathrooms could use cleaning, tho.
