“ Very good authentic Mexican food. They dont have red sauce enchiladas though, instead they have mole. Out all the Mexican places in the surrounding areas Ewing, Hamilton, and Trenton this is hands down the best one Ive had the pleasure of eating. Delicious!!!! ”
“ Weekend special Pozole de pollo! The only place in the area making pozole and dang was it good! A whole pint with toppings and tostadas for 14 dollars. The spice level was adjustable as it was packaged separately. Called ahead and when I didnt speak Spanish they very quickly switched to English which may help some peoples anxiety about ordering from here. Quick and really delicious! Will definitely be coming back. I added avocado at home in the pic ”
“ What a gem! It is definitely the best Mexican food I ever had. I have no idea what the authentic Mexican food would taste like but this is absolutely tasty! We ordered the Mexican pizza sorry I forgot the name it is so well balanced in flavor and texture, portion is huge. Cant wait to try weekend special! ”
“ So far best tacos Ive had. Best guacamole and made fresh to order. Also huge portion with home made tortilla chips. Will deff return! ”
“ As someone who comes from a Mexican family, its been really difficult to find a good and authentic Mexican place near the Princeton area. This place is, by far, the best Mexican food Ive had in quite some months since being in Texas with family. They have a relatively small selection with offerings of burritos, tacos, tlayudas, and tortas throughout the week. During the weekends, they have your traditional weekend offerings. My favorite dish was the chicken mole tamal. The tlayuda was new to me, but it was delicious. Its like a bigger tostada. 1010 would recommend. My partner and I had dinner from this place last night and went back today to try the tortas for lunch. ”
“ Delicious! Best Mexican Ive had in many years. We got carnitas, asada, and pastor tacos. All were tasty but pastor was the best! Tamales were super flavorful. Mole enchiladas had incredible rich dark roasted and spicy flavor, wonderful! Also got the Tlayudas which was a flavor explosion! Horchata was great as well. Super friendly family owned business. Definitely go there again when in the area. ”
“ Delicious delicious food authentically Oaxacan healthy and richly flavored and most can be enjoyed without spiciness if you prefer. Tlayudas are very large thin toasted tortillas piazz box size! covered with bean spread, crumbly cotija and mozerellalike oaxacan cheese, lots of cabbage, onion, tomato, bell pepper, and avocado and the meat of your choice or meatless. I could only eat half and delightedly snacked on it through the next day. They have tacos, fajitas and other familiar Mexican dishes. There are weekend special dishes, including some mealsized soups Ill try this winter! Until the , it was great to finish with a paleta a delicious water or milk based popsicle from the freezer in the front in MANY tropical flavors. Inexpensive, delicious, clean, warm waitstaff. Its in a store with many Mexican products or they deliver. Ive been twice in the last 2 weeks and plan to go back. Easy to get to from Princeton just take Nassau Street South and keep going South. Delicious delicious got some special dishes they only make on the weekends. Pozole!! ”
