This was probably one of the worst Mexican places I have been to. I grew up in New Providence and always heard good things until I tried it for myself tonight 5/5/25. We got the nachos, and then 2 combination meals. Let’s start with the nachos. The cheese had no flavor and the ground beef had very little as well. It tasted very cheap. The combinations. One was missing food and the other was fine. The rice was bland. Beans were fine I guess. The cheese was the same one, bland and tasteless. The sauce was not flavorful. We didn’t even finish our food… actually COULDNT. My stomach was hurting half way through the meal and I actually felt sick to my stomach and was sick. Same with my boyfriend. Now the service… probably the worst service I’ve seen. We had two waiters. One took the appetizer order while another came and took our entree. Then the original guy came back and asked us what we wanted. To say the least we were definitely confused. Then they just disappeared. We got our waters refilled once and no one asked if we needed anything or if there was anything wrong with our meals when we received them and throughout the course of our 40 minute stay. They were all sitting at a table or in the back of the house chatting with themselves or other people who came to hangout and were not guests. To end this review…. Not worth the money or time. (Plus they decided to round up your order if they feel like it, which they did to us, we did the math but we needed to get out asap) Sorry for the negativity but it...

My husband and I just moved to the area so we've been trying all the local places. I LOVE Mexican so I was excited to get some take out from here. Unfortunately, it was TERRIBLE. I rarely ever leave reviews but this warrants it. I got the enchiladas with red and green sauce and there was barely ANY sauce at all. Also, it looked (and tasted) like they just melted a slice of american cheese over the enchiladas and the refried beans. The rice had a cucumber, tomato and olive on top of it which was super weird and random. My husband ordered a chicken burrito with NO onions and it was packed with them. It was surprising they couldn't get the order correct because when we went to go pick it up, there was NO ONE there. It was so empty we had to search for someone to talk to. I can honestly say, it was the most inauthentic Mexican food we have ever had. Taco bell would've been better. Needless to say, we won't...

Place is not being well kept. Owners or managers must not care. Do not expect the best service. Our waiter seemed disinterested. My friend had digestive issues the next day, and I had some explosive stuff as well. I mean it is what it is.
When you have to hunt down the waiter just because you want to pay the bill, & then wave to the waiter as you walk out the door and say "money's on the table buddy," then I can't say it was the best quality service. Obviously.
I won't be going back there. I can tell you that. Don't go there until ratings improve. Wouldn't be surprised if it's closed within the next year. You can always tell when you walk in on a Thursday night and the place is empty if the majority of people stay away for obvious reasons.
Don't get the Mexican calamar. As the character in the movie Spider-Man said "we need to go back...
