“ I love this place. They have the tacos that are double tortilla, and that's what it should always be. Really authentic Mexican food, and I can't get enough. ”
“ Bomb Mexican spot in Ironbound. Very authentic and a bit of a hole in the wall. My husband and I came here several times when we were visiting NJ. We loved it because: 1. Great food - burritos were our favorites (BIG!), great guac too 2. Reasonably priced 3. Friendly staff ”
“ I used to be a regular here. I became obsessed with their chimichangas lol. I would come like every week sometimes twice a week. I haven't been here in about 3 years! Glad I can say the food is still good! The staff is very attentive. I visited on Sunday & got the beef tacos! Delicious! They also give you chips & salsa as you wait for your order. They make their own chips (tastes so much better than store bought) & I think they make the salsa too (I'm not 100%) sure. I Always recommend this place when it comes to some good Mexican food! ”
“ It doesn't look like much from outside but, the inside is cozy. It wasn't very busy when I arrived and I was seated right away. There were a few tables when I arrived and it it continued to fill up. I was brought great chips and salsa to start - they were delicious. I ordered the Pollo a La Mexicana as my main dish. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. It was more than ample for one person. The only negative I can really say is that the sauce on the chicken was a little watery on the plate and somewhat over took the salad. I will definitely come back to give something else a try. ”
“ Mi Pequeño México helped to spice up our Valentine's Day with a beautiful heart tray of tacos. We got steak and chicken tacos that came with guacamole, salsa verde, hot sauce and sour cream. The Valentine's Day package also came with a half gallon of horchata. My only qualm was that the steak was a little too tough. I've also come here on a regular days and had various dinner dishes. All of which we're definitely tasty and flavorful. I have to say the chicken fajitas are my favorite. They recently opened up for indoor dining so definitely stop in if you're in the area. ”
“ Who would have thought that in the midst of Portuguese/Brazilian occupied Ironbound you would find such a great Mexican restaurant. My chilaquiles were delicious. Everyone in our group was happy with their choices. They happily complied with the few minor changes/substitution that we had. Byob. ”
“ My favorite place in the Ironbound!! I always go with the chicken milanese and always leave feeling so full and satisfied. They also give salsas/dips and chips beforehand which are so delicious. I haven't tried anything else on the menu because the pollo is so friggin good haha. Definitely coming back soon! ”
