I know every place claims to have authentic Mexican food, but this place is the real deal! From the amazing Carne Asada tacos, which were completely loaded by the way, to Agua fresas The size of your head, I can highly recommend this spot! I order the Birria anywhere and everywhere I go and this one is one of the best ones I’ve ever had! Loaded nachos with chorizo also so amazing. If you want something more authentic, they had mole. If you were in the Bradley Beach area, this is the spot for you for Mexican food!

Partner and I got the Carnitas Torta and Chorizo Torta, respectively. Tortas were of great size and very filling. Plenty of oaxaca, as one would hope by the name. Chorizo was very well seasoned. Carnitas had minimal fat hanging on to it, which is much better than several places we have been to. We each took a conveniently wrapped half home. Deducted 1 star because the menu says Tortas are all served with fries, but, when fries were not accompanying our tortas, we were told that fries only come with certain sizes of tortas and then asked if we would like to order a side of fries (presumably for extra). The menu did not indicate there were different sizes of tortas. We may return if some kind of clarification about fries with tortas is added to the menu.

He recently came here on a late night while we were in town and the place did not disappoint. We were brought in by looking them up on Google and we really appreciate it the way that the service was plus the size of the portions. The portions are very generous. We had a lot of food to take home with us. We tried their soup. We tried their Barilla tacos. We tried the burritos. We had their nachos with the two different sauces and we also tried their toasted taco with beans and cheese on top. They also have authentic Mexican drinks that you can pick from. They also have drinks on the counter that are made inside the restaurant. There’s dine in takeout if you’re gonna dine in, there is a little bathroom that you could use as a patron they do not have booths. It is kid friendly, and the owner

Came in on Valentines Day and the Birria Tacos, Enchiladas, and Caldo De Res was amazing. Horchata and Tres Leche was delicious too! Handmade tortillas were so bouncy and warm. Loved it. I will be back 100%
