El Jacalito — Restaurant in Gloucester Township

The young girl at the register was very rude, unprofessional, and lazy. It seemed as we were a bother as soon as we walked in. When taking our order she made a few comments regarding the price of inventory, and made a rude comment when I was asking my fiancé what type of wrap that I liked. She asked if I wanted flour or corn. I looked at my fiancé and asked him which one I liked. She interjected by saying “how would I know, I asked you.” The food was ok, but definitely over priced. There was no sour cream in the burrito. We asked for sour cream when she brought it, it was in a dirty squeeze bottle that looked like it came from a trash can. The atmosphere was dirty, outdated, and need of a remodel. My fiancé met the owner and his wife at an event, very nice people. When we asked the girl, with blue hair, about him she informed us he was her father, and began to disclose family business, more like family problems. Definitely not what I would expect someone to say about their father or brother, specially to strangers. We will not be returning, totally...

A Hidden Gem Worth the Detour – Authentic Mexican Flavors in NJ

Coming back from a weekend in Atlantic City, we stumbled upon a Mexican restaurant that turned out to be the perfect ending to our trip. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of exceptional—warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly staff who made us feel right at home.

But the real star of the show was the food. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Even our picky eater was impressed—devouring the “real” chicken tenders, which were clearly homemade and cooked to perfection. As for me, I couldn’t stop raving about the Lengua Tacos—tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. Each bite reminded me of the kind of authentic street food you only hope to find when you’re far from home.

This place isn’t just a great stop—it’s a reason to come back to New Jersey. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Gracias por una...

My son tried the burrito bowl Which he said was very good but thought chipotle’s was a bit better. I had the home made hard beef tacos/4. They were very good and the salsa verde was a perfect topping. The tacos could have had a bit more stuff inside and I should have asked for xtra cheese. The only issue was them transported in a styrofoam container kind of made the taco shells a bit soggy. The flavor was very good and I would order them again. My husband had the enchiladas and LOVED them. He would definitely order them again but we want to try other menu items. The price was decent and we didn’t feel like making our own Mexican food that evening. We did enjoy our meals for the most part and would eat there again. Maybe dine in next time to taste the food right as it comes out...
