**Dining Delight with Room for Improvement at Local Mexican Eatery** This vibrant restaurant offers a colorful array of Mexican dishes that many diners find exceptional, with generous portions that often invite take-home boxes. While friendly service and a lively atmosphere enhance the dining experience, some patrons express dissatisfaction with limited menu options post-COVID and occasional issues, such as seating arrangements for larger parties. Overall, the establishment maintains a loyal customer base, celebrated for its delicious food and value for money, though there are calls for improvement in presentation and attention to customer needs. A solid choice for casual dining, but with room for enhancement.

Great place for Mexican style cuisine. Lots of choices and very authentic. Get there early for a seat...it gets crowded quickly!

This restaurant is a good place for Tex-Mex cuisine. The food is good in the service is prompt and courteous. The only drawback would be that you may expect that the environment will be lively and you can expect a fairly noisy experience. However, it is fitting with the general theme of the restaurant.

They make the best margaritas in Newark period ! Breezy service , amazing drinks and lively ambiance make this our go to place for any occasion! Try the guacamole here , it?s fresh and too good! The Tejas chicken are too good as well , but the best inthe food menu is the shrimp tacos !! Generous portions of shrimp with a delicious chipotle dressing have made this my favoritedish here !! For drinks , pick any Margarita and you won?t be disappointed. My recommendation thought would be anything thathas Cointreau !! Overall , Highly recommended for food and drinks !
