👍👍 It's a shame we were just passing through New Jersey. If we lived there, this restaurant would be a regular place to eat for us. I can't recall the last time I was at a Mexican place where I couldn't finish the food on my plate. It was delicious and there was more than enough to fill me up. My meal... People often mention restaurant, good, delicious, time, meal, ordered, Mexican, service, guacamole, worth,

    It's a shame we were just passing through New Jersey. If we lived there, this restaurant would be a regular place to eat for us. I can't recall the last time I was at a Mexican place where I couldn't finish the food on my plate. It was delicious and there was more than enough to fill me up. My meal was the one cooked in a pineapple and man it was good. Their corn was amazing as well. Glad we stopped there.

    UPDATE: Food is still very good. However, we got the guacamole today, and they did a smaller portion and still charges $12.00 not worth it. The guacamole is probably for one person. Charged three dollars for a side of sour cream (1 tbsp) And just be aware that they add gratuity for any bill that is over $50. I still would recommend this place, however, a person going into it should understand the little changes that they made. ——————————————————————— They have really good guacamole and shrimp tacos. The staff is awesome. Their portions are big. 100% recommend.

    Such a fun beautiful little place to enjoy some delicious food. Loved the decor. My server Stephanie was so attentive and sweet. I told her I drink lots of water and she brought me two so I wouldn’t run out. I got a side of guacamole which was just as fresh as if she made it table-side. I got the vegetarian burrito bandera and it was one of the better burritos I have had - perfect. The price point was definitely on the lower side for the quality I received. The two sauces that are given when you sit down - just be prepared - the reddish pink one is VERY hot. Enjoyed my meal and cannot wait to go back.

    It was my first time here, and I ordered online. There was a small hiccup at pick up, but the lovely lady at the register fixed it fast. The food and drinks were delicious! I will definitely go there and eat again.

    ETA: @CMR. I def read the wrong description. I was looking for alllll the flavors!! I will take your recommendation on my next trip back. I've been on a Mexican food craving kick and was hoping this would finally hit the spot. I'll be trying somewhere new again tomorrow. Idk if I read the menu wrong, but these 3 sad pork tacos left much to be desired. If tacos only come with onions & cilantro? I def looked at the wrong description. Thankfully, I didn't cheap out. I spent $32 bc I also ordered chicken nachos, so I was able to eat dinner. They were delicious but I was looking for a tastebud punch. Haha. It was really cute inside and the young woman who took my order was very pleasant.

    Wow, what a fantastic Mexican restaurant. A co-worker recommend this for lunch and the food was fresh and delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and quick. The Al Pastor tacos had the proper amount of pineapple sweetness along with the salty pork. The guacamole was fresh and bright with plenty of lime, cilantro, and jalapeno. First time here, but not my last.

    I don't normally give 5 stars but this place is amazing!!! Great service, food, and atmosphere. I forgot to take a picture of the freshly made tortillas but they did an excellent job with those also. Of course, the freshness causes a delay in the food coming out, but it was all well worth it. The home-made juices are delicious and more than enough. Only downside is they are a bit pricey. Honestly, though, the food is worth it and we even brought some home. Highly recommended.

    This was the most horrible service I have received in a long time. Arrival of food took forever. The food was flavorless. The service had no clue what they were doing. The were way too pricey. It was definitely not worth it at all. Worst experience, the food was awful ( guacamole, steak fajita, chimichanga). They even got the simplest drink orders wrong.

    I first say i hate giving a bad review but i also dont want others to have the same experience i had with the food. I do alot of traveling for work, so im always trying new places. I was expecting great quality based on most reviews. The customer service was great, with friendly staff taking the order. Sadly the food was very disappointing. I orderd a chimichangan, the chicken was dry chunks with very little cheese inside. I couldnt even eat the entire thing. It tasted horrible and was difficult to even chew due to the fact of how dry the chicken was. My guess is they make a bunch freeze them and then deep fry them as they are ordered. It is the worst chimichanga I've ever had.

    This Mexican cuisine had a variety to choose from, and the atmosphere felt authentic. Had a family birthday dinner. The only issue is my sister, who is a pescatarian, found meat in her meal after eating more than half. We made a complaint, which was not received well as it turned into a "it is not our fault." We were not pointing a finger to anyone in particular just saying that obviously someone double dip. They eventually gave us a discount after saying that they couldn't, so overall the service could have been better.

    I am here visiting a friend. We wanted Mexican food. So she turned me on to Cilantro. It was very good food. More than I expected. I had the marinated pork with pineapple. DELICIOUS. So good I cleaned the plate 2 thumbs up

    My husband and I ate here for the first time, and it will not be the last! This very bright and cheery restaurant in downtown Vineland, NJ has delicious food and it is BYOB, although you can buy wine by the bottle. We enjoyed the "Build Your Own Combo" which gave us the opportunity to have mini entrees of six different menu items. Excellent prices too!

    First off the atmosphere is 5 stars. They really did an excellent job making this restaurant warm and inviting. Love the theme. The house made salsas were tasty. They give so much salsa but the chips run out too fast and we were not offered any more. The mole carnitas burrito was good, not great. The steak quesadilla was large and filling. The service is lacking a bit here. Never got a refill on my water. But I’d like to see this restaurant do good and keep making tasty dishes. +clean bathrooms.

    We recently ordered lunch from here for delivery at work and the food was outstanding. Everything was plentiful and well prepared and the chips were fresh and warm! Four stars for atmosphere since I did not actually visit the restaurant. Delivery was timely. Will definitely order/visit again.

    My family and I came to dine at this restaurant and I had the Mariscos Puerto Escondido. I did let my waitress know that I can't have meat (it makes me sick) and was verified that my meal is just seafood, and I did order a side of rice as well. The pros : Our meals came in large portions, which I did appreciate and price wise seemed appropriate especially for a party of 5. Our bill came to $163. The cons : I rated my overall experience and meal as 1 star, because I found a piece of beef in my meal. I was immediately turned off and stopped eating and to check my brother tasted it. I did let the waitress know and she shrugged her shoulders... When it was time to pay, there was different waitress closing out our checks and I informed her about the issue and she brought another employee which asked me what's the issue. I repeated the issue once more and he states "well it's impossible since we do not cook in the same pot and it's to avoid these situations from happening, there's nothing I can do... well the most I can do is give you 10% off". My sister went ahead to pay, and I took up a receipt to look at the restaurant's name and the employees laughed and mumbled to each other. One employee said "if I'm leaving a review to not blame either one, and the waitress to be blamed is Mia". Honestly I understand that these things happen but don't treat your customers like imbeciles. What ticked me off the most is that the employees kept mumbling back and forth to each other and laughing in our faces... just plain rude

    I love this place. It's got minigolf-style decor if the course's theme were "Mexican pirate ship." Every meal I've had there has been rad; on my most recent visit, i ordered the Piña Hawaiana and they hooked it up: a big pile of meat, cheese, chiles, and onions with fresh pineapple chunks, served up in a bowl fashioned from half a frikkin pineapple. (Picture shows the basic idea, but my photo skills and the ambient lighting don't make for a great image...)

    Stopped by today for a bowl of Caldo de Rez and was impressed by the food and the decor! This place is nice and my soup was made to order. Ohh.. and the soup was delicious!!

    Service is very slow. We were one of two tables on a weekday and it took them 40 plus minutes to bring out our food. My wife ordered the street corn, that came out cold. Sent it back for another, and it took forever to come out. Corn tortilla came out hot, but extremely soggy. The food was not worth the wait.

  • 5/5 1701RS 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent, excellent, excellent! The food was absolutely delicious and Fresh! The restaurant is absolutely clean and they keep it clean for all there guests during these times! My wife had there Sea Food There and she cleaned The plate. The servers are very pleasant and very friendly. You can almost joke around with them. And again, the servers keep everything clean and sanitize throughout your time there in the restaurant.

    I recently went to this restaurant and I’ve normally only had them for takeout, not really eaten inside, & their food is always great. Well myself and a few friends went out for lunch one day and there were legit only 2 other tables besides ours in the entire restaurant, one table with a group of 4 and the other with only one guy eating alone . Why we had to wait 30 mins & not even have one person ask us our drink order is ridiculous. The fact that the 2 waitresses that were walking around saw that we hadn’t been served and said nothing was so rude. I’d never go back…we left that day without eating and went to another restaurant that actually paid attention to their customers.

    The food was very good & the staff is friendly. They now serve wine by the bottle. If you like spice try the burrito loco!!! But bring your appetite and a hungry friend. That meal is very big. The rice & beans were amazing (I ordered more to go!!). It's a great place for family, friends or date night. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

    The tortillas in the dishes made it so apparent it was heated in a microwave oven. They could've made it on the stove top but they most definitely hit it in the microwave before it reached my table. The chilaquiles were super dried and stuck to the plate. Like they tossed the nachos in the green sauce and popped them in the microwave while they made the steak that goes on top. When made properly they are between crunchy wet and moist tortilla chips with a bite, these tasted like leftovers u reheat at home. Barely topped with onions and no egg or aguacate. The birra taco shells were soggy (u can tell they were blisted on the outside like wet tortillas from the microwave) and on the edges like they dipped it in consome, stuffed them then hit it in the microwave to make it hot. Food came out super fast, questionable 10 minutes after I ordered fast. Not worth the 41+tip. 2 people, 50bucks for microwaved food. Like do better. The place is nice make better food preparations, maybe people will come more then once. It was empty by the way 1 table of 2 people in a huge empty restaurant at dinner time 7pm. No good Taco Tuesdays.
