I've been coming here for years usually doing takeout. I do like their burritos I get a pork burrito and beef empanadas almost every time and it's always good. As I usually get takeout I can't really attest their in restaurant service. But the food is always ready in a timely manner for me to pick up. The ambience of the restaurant is pretty fun looking A nice color scheme a very cool party atmosphere definitely looks like a fun time. If you're in South Plainfield it's definitely worth a visit

Looking for a really good Mexican seafood soup? This is your place right here. My significant other loves their soup so we come here often. It has all different kind of fish and shellfish. The broth is red but it's not spicy. Best with tortillas, onions and lime. Also enjoy the Molecajete, enough meat for two to four people depending on your appetite. Complimentary chips and salsa. I love their salsa. Goes great with any dish you get. A variety of tacos, so many and can mix and match. Carne asada and pollo are good. Elotes can never go wrong. They put cheese all around the corn; not just on top. Great service. Full bar. Love the margaritas with the beer. Every time we have dined it's only been us two but justly recommend for groups. There also is a bar with a tv.

We only get take out but oh my god it is amazing! The goat meat street style tacos are probably the best I've ever had. The sauces they give with it are so spicy but soo good. If you want good authentic Mexican I highly recommend to try it

Came here with a group of 6 girlfriends. It was a bit early so we were seated right away. Let begin to say this is the first time at a Mexican restaurant with a HUGE array of menu options! We were greeted by our server Abel he was fantastic! We all started with a flight of margaritas which were tasty but had no alcohol in them we even mentioned it to the server. He did not bring out extra tequila or anything. The flight cost us $30 each for juice, that is the reason I took 1 star off!! We all shared two orders of guac... really good. Most of us had the mixed fajitas, my other 2 friends had the enchiladas and the sirloin steak and shrimp on a stone. Our food was great, good flavor and portions. At the end, we all were given a shot of tequila, even that shot felt watered down! I would come back here for the food, they definitely need to work on their drinks! If they start to get the drinks right this place would be out of this world!

Tucked in the small town of South Plainfield is an unassuming Mexican restaurant with vibrant music, good food, good drinks and friendly servers. We had the garlic shrimp, empanadas, pork shank, steak, nachos, guacamole and chips and a few drinks: mangonada, passionfruit margarita, pina coladas, and Coronas. The steak was well cooked (medium) but a bit more seasoning would've made it great. The pork shank was fork tender and both were generous in size. The empanadas were not dry and the shrimp was well seasoned with garlic and butter and spices. Filled but not overly crowded and still comfortable when we ate there. Private parking lot and open til late. karaoke at a bar kept separate from the main dining hall, restrooms are clean. They have moved from their old location and I believe they've also improved on their food menu and drinks. Would come again for a casual fun night either with family or friends.

Great value meal! Came on a weekend night and there were several seats available despite it being more than half full. It is loud inside but staff is friendly. 1. Guacamole - home made an hearty. Not salty which is good 2. Carne asada and camarones - large plate and very delicious! Had leftovers the next day Overall, a solid place to come try. Went to their old place years ago also and they are still very good.

10% off your check if you pay in cash. Plenty of options to choose from, healthier options as well. You can easily choose a vegetable side and grilled entrees. The staff was friendly, there were a few in training which was great to see. They just don't speak English as well but can get by. They were really attentive to making sure our glass of water was constantly filled. The location had plenty of parking, it looks like they expanded and there's parking lot across the street as well. The table for two was on the smaller side, especially since their plates are so big. Would've preferred to be seated at a table of 4.

Love this authentic Mexican restaurant with live mariachi bands on Fridays! The food portions are good and extremely flavorful. The steak nachos, eltotes and chamoro are last flavorful memories. Tip: parking can be minimal. But there are two parking spots. Across their lot is also there's to use
