LA TLAXQUENITA — Restaurant in Pennsville Township

Parking was easy, strip mall, plenty of spaces. I came in between lunch and dinner, it wasn't busy. I was really digging the atmosphere in there.This is a cute little place, and the music was bumping. They had quite a few tables in there, I didn't get the count. I sat at the little bar that had 4 stools. They had an extensive menu of Mexican delights to choose from. The service was outstanding, everything I needed I had in a timely manner.

I ordered a Modelo bottle. It was cold and refreshing. It was hard to see the beer selection in the cooler behind the bar, but I could clearly see the foil on top of the Modello bottle. I saw they had 32 oz Victoria bottles you could get as well. The bar is small, but stacked with liquors to choose from. I know I saw at least 20 different tequilas to choose from including Clase Azul Reposado for $10 a shot. Now that is a steal my friends. I did a shot of course...

I ordered Tacos: Pastor, Chorizo, Carnitas. Pastor...moist and delicious. Right up there with the best! The tortillas were just what I want in a corn tortilla. Chorizo...killer taco yall!!! Good char, overall one of the best I've ever had! Carnitas...perfect balance of moist and crispy. Flavorful through each bite. All of these tacos are loaded with meat. The tortillas are perfect, & don't dry out the meat. Green salsa had that creamy cilantro flavor with a nice heat kick to it. Orange salsa is that devil fire stuff that likes to linger.

I ordered a Tamale!!! It was sooooo friggin good!!! It was perfect in my eyes. I felt like I was eating a dessert honestly.

I ordered Enchiladas Verde!!! Enchiladas were off the charts amazing! Yet again this place dominates each dish. The chicken was moist and tasty on the inside, the green sauce on the outside was to die for. I'm serious, I could drink it. Beans...just what I want to taste when I order refried beans. Perfect texture, no weird flavors that don't belong. Rice..soft, fluffy, they just don't seem...

(Second review, a year later) I tried to give this place another chance but it was so disgusting and dirty! The health inspectors need to check in on them before they make someone incredibly sick. Also, if you aren't Hispanic you feel like you are not wanted there. Sad but true!

Hello there, I was a frequent customer at your restaurant who loved your food, especially the chips and salsa. I've supported your business the past 2 years since I moved here, and throughout the shutdown as well. Today I was happy to see it was taco Tuesday, and since it is my birthday I stopped in for dinner to go. I ordered 2 sets of 3 tacos $6, a side of rice $3, and a side of chips and salsa which, according to the website....$3, but I was charged $7. If the bag was was full and it was a decent size container of salsa I'd understand that price but it was not. It was less than half the bag of chips, and a small plastic container if salsa. As I said I've been getting the chips and salsa for a long time and it was ALWAYS $3.50, as stated on your website. Why would I be charged $7 all of the sudden? I even went back in to ask the man/server why my order was so expensive, and I told him he didn't calculate it correctly and he said the chips/salsa were $7. I said "that's not what it says on your website" and he said nothing to me. He knows me from how often I go there and knows I order the chips and salsa every time I'm there! I will not be back and I am posting this on Yelp, and anywhere else I can. This is not ok for your to take advantage of your customers! Thanks for ruining my birthday dinner.

My first and last order. The enchiladas with mole sauce. The mole sauce was so sweet that it completely overpowered th the meat and the enchiladas as a whole where dry. The rice and beans didn't taste fresh. I also ordered the Ceviche tostada. The shrimp ceviche was plentiful. I could have made four tostadas out of the amount of Ceviche they gave me but unfortunately they only gave me one lonely tostada and it...
