Ever since I discovered this local gem in Harrison, it has stayed on my agenda whenever I pass by
This small Mexican restaurant has some of the best tacos in NJ. And, I don't know this because I'm Mexican. It's because the ingredients and taste are similar to the Mexican food I had while visiting California, where I discovered what authentic Mexican should taste like!
They used to have a crazy $1 taco deal, where you could choose your own mix of taco meat options, but that's over now. They bumped up the price to 4 tacos for $8, and you have to order 4 of each type. They have other specials also posted on signs in front and on the menu, like $30 tacos for $45 and $12+ quesadillas.
Nevertheless, the price is still worth it. The servers are always nice and cute mature Mexicanas.
They have ample seating for indoor dining, but no outdoor seating.
The restaurant is very clean and well kept with Mexican decor.
I haven't tried any other dishes besides the tacos, which taste very good but could be more flavorful. The green and red sauces are also a bit watered down. Their chocolate milkshake was also good and made with real ice cream. However, it was a bit on the sweet side - which is common anywhere.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this spot if you are looking for authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price.
