Price: initially .. eyebrows go up but actually fair for size and amount of food. Food: any type of their quesidiila numero uno, and im not a quesidiila person. Tacos, they are not cheap with the protein... you will fill content/full. Prefer 4.5 stars but cant give it
Our family enjoyed this place as we wanted to check-out the newer food establishments in the area. There is a parking lot available. Upon entering, the place is spacious and has a few tables for indoor dining to the right. I personally liked the colorful tiles on the tables. You can order using the kiosk to your left, or head straight up to the cashier. We ordered the chicken quesadilla, shrimp burrito, shrimp taco, birria taco, and carnita taco. They were all freshly made, savory, juicy, and delicious. There is also a salad bar that has additional condiments in case you wanted. The prices were also reasonable. I'd recommend this place if you're nearby.
Had El Pastore and Carnitas tacos. I thought both were tasty. One was extra tasty (couldnt tell you which one) not getting full five stars because I wish there was a slightly bigger taco for the price. They also had a complementary extensive salsa bar, which I appreciated.
Heard about this place from friends, we ordered for delivery! First, delivery was prompt and you can track your order easily via text message from restaurant. One order of loaded nachos can be a main dish, it's piled high, and delicious! The mini beef empanadas were so good. We ordered the Three Birria Tacos with consommé was incredible! I literally can drink the consommé like a soup, yummy! Then we tried the steak and shrimp combo, truly the BEST BURRITO I've ever had, it was phenomenal! Sorry no pics bc we inhaled the food with plenty of leftovers for dinner tomorrow! A must try place! We will certainly add this place to our takeout/restaurant rotation.
First time placed a delivery order here! I did 2 steak tacos with hand made tortillas. They are really, reaaaaally good! The meat is soft and so flavorful...Congrats!!! And I'm waiting to have my husband's opinion about his birria tacos. They look OHHHH, let's see in a few minutes... tic, toc, tic ,toc
This is the newest spot to eat in Closter. I believe it's the only Mexican spot in Closter too. It's good to see some culture in this town. Location is right next to a CVS and my local favorite French place for breakfast. It's been open for about a month now. The place is packed and the line is out the door. There is usually about a 5-10 minute wait to order since the place is new, followed by 4-8 minutes to receive the food. The kitchen is fully exposed and very small. Which makes the time length totally understandable. The menu is very easy to read, and they have a bunch of options. Not too many that it makes you confusing, which I appreciate. I had to try multiple items on the menu here, since I've been waiting for this place to open for a while. I ordered chips and guacamole (obviously), chicken quesadilla, the fish tacos, the carne asada tacos and last but not least the street corn. Starting with the guacamole and chips. OMFG. They are fresh and super hot in the bag as soon as you receive them. The guacamole is so fresh and satisfying, this is a MUST HAVE here. Literally rate it a 10/10. Next, the chicken quesadilla was magically, first of all it was huge and came with 4 slices almost as big as pizzas slices. The chicken was fresh and very tender, the cheese was amazing. Rating the chicken quesadilla 8/10. They give you sour cream with the quesadilla, but just a very small container. I then ordered the taco Baja fish, that was actually pretty good. Rating the fish taco 7/10. The carne asada tacos was okay, I wasn't a fan of the seasoning. The taco meat tasted more like indian rather then Mexican, or Spanish seasoning. The cilantro makes it taste fresh, but I wasn't in love with them. I would rate them 6/10. Last but not least the street corn, drenched in mayo, cojita cheese. This is 1000% a must buy! I rate the street corn 9/10. This is more like a fast food quick place, rather then a hit down dinner. Hope you guys enjoy
