Mexican Antojitos — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

The technique and the cook on the beef and al pastor tacos was nearly perfect! A little crispy on the edges but tender. Super fine dice on the onions. The smallest I’ve seen at ANY Mexican restaurant so definite props to the chef’s knife skills.

Unfortunately, the missing element was FLAVOR. Had a 2 dimensional flavor profile = undersalted. The pineapple sweetness and tang was missing from the Al pastor, so it was just spice. The beef tacos were a little more tasty.

They also ran out of the mild salsa so we opted for the green salsa which was pretty spicy but good.

The tortilla chips and tostada shell were home made, had the right crunch and taste.

Decor leaves much to be desired. Fluorescent lights, uncomfortable chairs and a lot of plastic...

Newly opened in the neighborhood, always used to cross this while walking in the evening. Being firm believers in supporting local businesses, we went there last Tuesday. it gets closed at 10 pm, so there was not much rush. it's new so there was not much decor but it's a simple clean establishment.

We ordered below at the counter

4-Pcs Enchilada De Mole - it was okay-ish except gravy - something odd about sauce, cant express. Chicken Tostada (Pollo) - it was good. Three crunchy fried tortilla, with all usual ingredients.

I was not too fond of Pharmsen cheese garnish- all I could taste was their cheese.

I am sure they must have other superb items on their menu, and I will try sometime...

I ordered a multitude of dishes. I got chicken verde enchiladas, red sauce chilaquiles, a carne asada burrito, carnita tacos, chicken and pork tamales. I tried a few bites of everything. I must say all but the chilaquiles were delicious. It was a bit bland and to wet for my liking. The chilie sauce they give on the side. Grean was good and flavorful. The red was very heated and lacked flavor. I'm originally from California and being so close to Mexico they have a lot of really great mexican restaurants. So when it comes to Mexican food and Jersey. I expect really authentic Mexican food and this is pretty darn close to it! Hope they stay consistent with the making...
