I came here with couple of friends and food was great! You must get the chilaquiles with cecina and hibiscus water,very refreshing. Chilaquiles were pretty good,the green sauce is just right on point when it comes to acidity level. Even the sour cream is great. Place has outdoor and indoor seating. So far the best Mexican place I been to in Jersey. Also prices are affordable!
