★★★★★ 5.0 Gary G · Nov 2025

The food and service are always amazing. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you for the great food. I truly enjoy their steak tacos and steak quesadilla. This restaurant is probably the best kept secret in south Jersey. The owners and staff are amazing at what they do. You’ve gained a customer for life.

I have been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years, and I have always loved their food, their service, and the friendliness of their cashiers. Thank you very much.

Best Mexican food in all of South Jersey. Super clean. Definitely deserves a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️five star review.

★★★★★ 5.0 The Philly Food Fanatic · Sep 2019

Look 👀 this meal !! Fantastic. Little corner restaurant with great food. There are prolly 100 Latin restaurants in Camden and I believe I stumbled upon one of the best. The employees were very nice and even though I spoke little to no Spanish they totally got my order right!!! I will be back very soon ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A group of friends and I found one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Camden! The location was a little off of the beaten path and a little difficult to find for those of us who aren’t native to Camden, however, the delicious food that we found while there was completely worth every minute of the extra time that it had taken to find the place. If anyone in the S. Jersey area wants great food and amazing horchata you should take the time to find Taqueria La Calpeña at 300 N. 27th Street in East Camden, NJ!!! The food was relatively cheap as well, especially considering how great their tacos were! I ordered three tacos for $2.50 a piece before asking for extras. Of course, I had to ask for specialty tacos and asked to have nopales added. Nopales, otherwise known as a prepared and cooked
