Thomas Santomartino
It’s a very good restaurant but also, for me at least, very expensive. The decor is Traditional Mexican restaurant with lots of reds and Frieda Calo staring at you. I recommend it if you love Mexican food. It’s a little too rich for my blood order wise so I can only go there for a special occasion or a treat. Be aware the drink menu has no prices, so if you’re on a budget ask first.

Always have a fab time here, only one incident earlier in the yr but that was taken care of. My favorite Mexican eatery, I drive from NJ to here, when I’m looking for the best. Thanks to our waitress tonight, she was so nice and on point, friendly and knowledgeable about any questions asked.

I’ve been to the Newark and Milford locations multiple times and it’s really great food. Everything is well seasoned and very flavorful. The decor in both locations will have you feeling like you’re actually visiting a small part of Mexico. They have the cutest post cards when you pay your bill also.

Family has been to many local Mexican restaurants, this by far has been the best yet. The pork was amazingly delicious and moist, the chorizo was probably the best I’ve had in the area. Can’t wait to get the rest to of the family there. Oh did I mention table side guacamole. Our server Nicole answered any questions we had about a catering menu. We will be back.
