Absolutely delicious and super quick service! We've been here twice now, and the food has been fantastic both times. My partner is particular about his Mexican since he grew up traveling to Texas a lot to see family and this met and passes his test with flying colors!
Came today 8/19. Food was just blah, nothing special. Everything is kind of just thrown on the plate. The lettuce garnish is outrageous. $10 frozen margarita tasted like all ice. Wife ordered a chimichanga and there were multiple things in it that weren’t listed on the menu. Maggie (Margaret) was our server. Extremely pushy, seems like she couldn’t wait to finish her shift. Charged us $1.50 for tortilla chips that we never requested and were put on the table as soon as we sat down. When we weren’t ready to pay the check because we were still finishing our meal and boxing stuff up, saw her make a head nod gesture to another server when she walked away as if she was annoyed. Another server had the busboy checking out a table to see if they were finished as if he was in a hurry to leave as well. I can see why this place is closing down. Good riddance.
Moving from the southwest border to Maine, we give leeway to cultural differences and never expected it to be as authentic as what we would find in southern Arizona. That being said, I ordered a combo plate: cheese enchilada and shredded chicken taco. Taco was loaded with shredded chicken but the crispy corn tortilla was crispy on one side. Limp on the other. No condiments were provided accept the basic salsa provided with the stale, cold chips when we ordered our drinks. We had to request sour cream after our taste-test.
Moving to the cheese enchilada. The corn tortilla was raw with shredded cheese inside which was not in the least bit melted. But to make the matter worse, the tiny bit of enchilada sauce provided had spice that replicated the middle east. I love Lebanese food, for I have that background. However, I don’t expect cinnamon and cloves in the enchilada sauce I order in a Mexican food restaurant.
I want to reiterate that the service was above average. The chef needs to find a new vocation.
Three generations of our family love the food and surroundings at Margaritas. The fajitas are a favorite because the veggies are always beautifully sauteed and chicken or steak sooo full of flavor. Another favorite is the baked enchiladas Verde served in a sizzling pan. The Verde sauce is really excellent.
Portions are generous and the staff have always been gracious.

I was visiting San Diego for the first time and I had a photo on my social media hanging out in downtown San Diego. I don’t have a friend message me saying I must try tacos El Gordo, and have one Al Pastor. I said say no more and went over to look for one and immediately knew it was good coupon seen the huge line outside, waiting to go in and order some tacos. I order some tacos Al Pastor with everything some Carne Asada and some Carne Asada fries. Everything was very good. Specially those tacos al Pastor they’re probably the best tacos. Al pastor that I’ve had in all United States. Totally recommend this place

These tacos were incredible. We came here based on a recommendation and we all loved it. We tried several including the asada, the lengua, tripa, and adobada. It was absolutely packed inside and at first we were a bit confused by the ordering system. You have to order each taco type at their own station with separate lines and pay at the end instead of ordering everything at once. Service was efficient.

I ordered a strawberry milkshake and literally got a cup of milk. They didn’t want to send a replacement, instead offered a refund. The shake is $7+ by the way. I wanted to enjoy my food with the milkshake not a refund. I usually order here 2 times a week and never received a milkshake like this. I was expecting great customer service by getting a replacement to have with my food but I guess not.
Low rating due to lack of attention by service staff. The hostess seated us and after considerable time followed up with some chips and salsa. She said she’d follow up with the server. No server ever came. Odd. Left us in a bad mood.
I recommended this place (I regretted later on) and brought two friends of mine. We sat at the bar, we were the only ones there. We had one round of beers and then decided on shots. We asked for two shots of patron and a third for our friend. The shots came, the two patron glasses had a lime slice hanging off the shot glass. Quickly, realizing there was water in the shot glasses. We asked the owners wife Ashley (the "bar manager" not sure of her title.) About the water. She stumbled over her words and tried to explain she had grabbed the display bottle from the wall (for some reason they filled with water... Not sure why) she insisted we shouldn't worry about it being old water, as she cleans the bottles regularly. She disappeared shortly after that.

If you're wondering, we did get charged for all three shots. Honest mistake? No chance. What seasoned bar tender grabs the wrong bottle behind their bar? I don't think this is the first time they tried this trick on people. We where literally the only ones at the bar. The place was dead.
The worst Mexican food I have ever had. The “steak fajita” was tiny bits of over cooked hamburger meat but priced like it was carne asada. It was unseasoned and flavorless. The tortilla was a store-bought catastrophe.

The complimentary salsa was effectively marinara sauce.

The “perfect margarita” was low on the promised juice and high on the filler.

The only bright spot was the yellow rice that came in the disgusting plate of accompaniments for the “fajitas”.

Despite being fairly empty our server never came by after delivering the food.

Overall, I would not send a stray dog to eat here. Avoid at all costs.
And so it begins...Have been ordering food from here for past 8 months at least once or twice a week. Saw the long drive thru lines and figured something good must be going on. And it was...delicious Mexican food, fast, friendly service, generous portions, reasonable prices (Will circle back to the prices). Fast forward to today, 08/06/23. Online drive thru order but asked to come inside when I arrived because the order was not ready (4 burritos and an arrival at the precise time it said online that tge order would be ready. On the way inside, noticed on the menu board that the burrito prices were $2 cheaper per burrito than what I pre-paid online. Noticed the same thing on the menu board inside. When I asked about the price difference and mentioned how much the website said that I was "saving", I was told, "...yeah that's a lie. It is cheaper to come here, inside to order." All 4 burritos had issues so for the sake of time I'll desribe the best ( ordered 2 Wichitas, 1 Fish, and 1 Coyote)...the Coyote that made it home with me was full of rice, beans, and potatoes save for 3 small pieces of chewy, unedible, beef fat. And so it begins...for whatever reason, a good thing gone really, really, bad!!!

Really good spot in Central Maine for tasty Mexican fare…overlooking a golf course…in a rustic cabin setting. (Nothing wrong with any of that, though it did feel a smidge eclectic!) Food was good at lunch after Old Hallowell Day; delicious, though not unlike other local Mexican spots in Augusta and Waterville. Great service and margaritas! Would definitely go back if I’m in the area: Buen Apetito is absolutely worth a visit!

Great new location, but after going many times in the past this was a disappointing experience. The staff did a great job accommodating 14 people, the wait time was minimal. The margarita recipe has changed and they are a total disappointment, premade and no taste to them. The food was decent but no one in the party was raving about their food it was just ok.

Best tacos IN TOWN. Me and my boyfriend, we are tacos lover 🫶🏽 and we tried 4 different spots in the area and this place just won our hearts. It’s like you are in Mexico eating some real Mexican tacos. I wish they had elote in their menu to make this place perfect.
This was our first visit, and we'll try again. The service was spotty, and while the food was great, there was about half a serving of meat in the fajitas which was pretty disappointing. Also they charged us $2.50 for salsa.

Coming from Houston the tacos were super juicy. Every bite exploded in your mouth. Fries were extremely crispy and soft in the inside and service was friendly and excellent. The spice level tho was super low I guess Californians don’t get as spicy as I thought.
It was right before a Reds baseball game. The parking lot was crowded but there was places to park. The place was packed but it didn't take but a few minutes to get seated. Servers were hopping one practically in a small run yet being careful. Everyone was in a great mood. Food was excellent. Can't wait to go back.

Look no further for an authentic and delicious taco spot. If you’re visiting JC or on your way into the city - Mexico City honestly rivals anything I’ve had in NYC. Nopales (cactus) tacos and fish tacos are favorite go-to. Chicken and shrimp also very tasty. Get tacos and you won’t regret it. Estos tacos son muy ricos. Todo es delicioso y les recomiendo mucho.
Food is good 👍. Portions could be bigger. Wide variety. We tried chicken and steak. All were full with flavor. The view is the best. Make sure to sit out.
This was the second time we ordered from RoadRunner for a work function...  Both times could have been better.

1st time they shorted us burritos we already paid for...  so today we were ready for that (which they did try to do again).  When we unpacked the food at the office we had 5 sausage burritos; we should have only had 2 and 3 other types {one being a vegetarian}.  Not entirely sure we will place an order here again...
Absolutely Amazing across the board. First off the food itself was everything I remembered back when I was a kid 30yrs ago. My hubby was a first-time customer and he was impressed with everything from the taste of the food to the price! Would recommend in a heartbeat of you want a great meal in a low key environment !♡$😋
Dive bar vibe inside but friendly staff and decent happy hour. They have an open window for to go drinks which is unique. First time having deep fried taco shells and it was delish. It's crunchy without having to worry about it disintegrating after a bite. Salsa was also very fresh and well balanced. Chips were okay. The margaritas were a great deal. Only tried the house ones during happy hour and they weren't bad.

It is truly a great authentic restaurant. I am visiting from Toronto, where we don't have many taco options, but this place comes at a great price, and it is well worth it. The meat on its own is also tasty, combined with all the ingredients and sauce, yummy! I'm definitely coming back here if I ever visit San Diego again.
Pretty good! I like the fried tacos, kinda like a regular crispy taco though. Not anything crazy.

But it was yummy! Happy hour margs were great too, the bartender was happy to add some jalapeño to mine, thank you!

The chips, salsa, guac boat was good- but the guac was kinda just mashed up avo, no seasoning or pico in it.

I’m a Texas native, so Mexican food is near & dear to my heart.

I’d come back! It was good!
Refused to make an order, after payment. Argued with me several times on the phone, and told me they just won't make the order due to doordash issues. Got charged. Never ordering again. The lady was just plain rude, and I highly recommend not ordering. Disgusting. I can't believe the amount of disrespect.

Had Kati as a server let's say she knocked it out of the park.
If I could give you a 10 star rating it would be well deserved. Food was hot fast fresh.
Never had to ask for napkins and drinks to be refilled she was on it.
Again Kati was on it. She came back to the table 4-5 times. Earning every penny of her tip.
You get your.moneys worth portion size for your money you pay there. unlike most restaurants where it's the opposite.
I had the discata and pulled pork nacho larger would gladly pay 25 per plate anytime.
Keep up the good work all around.
Excellent food and drink options! We were a party of 10 people. They sat us right away. Everyone loved their food. The pitchers of margaritas were very tasty. Our waitress was super attentive. We loved everything about this restaurant! ❤️
Excellent place to dine for authentic Mexican food. The owner has artist artwork and paintings all over the premises. Name of the artist/painter is Yup Ruffini Tamayo! Named the restaurant after him. Enjoy!!!
Excellent Tex-Mex style restaurant — we particularly liked the Skillet Baked Enchiladas and the Naked Jalapeño Margaritas.
This place was everything I wanted it to be, and reasonably priced to boot. I would absolutely come back next time I’m in town!

Delicious Tijuana style taqueria. This place is fast paced so be prepared to order quickly. Everything is clearly marked to indicate where you should order and the employees are helpful if you need extra assistance. Great experience overall and the tacos were so freaking good!
This was my fav Mexican food, especially when they had a food truck, the lady working was great, very little English but everything was perfect. Something happened over the last year, no more lady. They messed up 3 orders of others while we were there, but not ours. Food was just OK. Also a bug man came into spray when we were waiting. Probably not going back to the store.
We hired Alburritos to cater a family gathering of 40 people off site. We decided on a taco bar buffet and it came with all of the extras for a very reasonable price. The owner delivered and set up at our venue in a timely manner. The food received raves reviews and every dish tasted freshly made.
It was pretty good my food looked and tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. I got the dinner special my taco was soggy and fell apart my rice was super dry and it was all cold. It tasted good it would have been better fresh. The 2 guys I was with had No complaints. The waitress was very good.
Not a big fan of how they run this location here in Derby. Their hours of operation are not what they advertise. I’ve tried coming to eat here around 8 pm 2-3 times on days you’d think they’d would be open. Sure hope we get a fast food Mexican place in derby that will actually stay open when they advertise 24 hours. Not going back and don’t recommend this location. The location on Oliver is phenomenal and worth the drive.
Love the new building. Staff is friendly and quick. Meat has been slightly dry both times I’ve been, and the enchiladas may be the smallest I’ve seen in a restaurant but the flavors are there. A solid choice for Mexican in Maine, coming from a southern girl and a Texan friend. 😊

Definitely one of the best tacos in San Diego!

We went there for the first time to try authentic Mexican tacos. The asada tacos taste great but the adobada tacos are fantastic.

The meat is perfectly grilled and the tacos are freshly made.

Price is very good for the quality. I would definitely recommend going to Tacos El Gordo.
Good service and delicious margarita 🍹
We walked in without a reservation and a group of 20 adults, 3 kids, and 1 infant. They were able to get us seated very quickly which was an amazing surprise. The food was hot and good. We had to ask for our sides and we only had one Server for the whole group. This made getting refills and drinks a lot longer. Overall a good experience and with this large group they did a good job.

Food was very well prepared, steak sizzling with ample sides. The staff is very well organized. Wait time was minimal if you arrive at opening time. The facility is very spacious and has great views of the golf course.

The food was delicious. The waiter took our order and memorized everything. There were 12 of us and he remembered everything and everyone of us got exactly what we ordered. We tried the different Margaritas and all were very good. We sat outside and enjoyed a fun and relaxing time.
Good food! Only item of note, the plate was hotter than the food served. The Staff were excellent and the was no wait to sit.

This lovely small corner shop had some of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Definitely had the street taco vibe when you walked in, and they make their tortillas fresh just for you!

The carne asada was fantastic, and the cactus was so juicy and surprisingly sweet. I do prefer my tortillas to be a little crispier, but I guess that’s just what I’m used to.

So many different flavors to choose from, each with great texture and fresh toppings. Want something sweet? Their horchata is massive and pairs well with the saltiness of the tacos.

The fries were so so good, even though I was so full from the tacos, I still saved some space for the fries.
The food here is very very good! My husband and I usually stop here after a night on the town. They're open LATE (we have stopped here around 2 a.m) the food NEVER disappoints! The service could be a bit better and I've found most people don't dine in. We dined in 1 time and it was pretty hot but other than that, I 100% recommend Road Runners!!
Wow! The chips and salsa are dynamite!! I also had the huevos con chorizo, which was delicious! Add to that the amazing riverside view and great servers!!
I had a great experience here after the Rockies game on Saturday afternoon. Place was busy but the host was awesome and found us a spot at a shareable table. Waiter was awesome. Really nice young man and was really helpful. My friend got the menudo he loved it I couldn't Edge him out of the way to take a picture of it sorry. He was on that thing like it was the last bowl on the planet. When I asked him how it was, he replied with a grunt that I took to mean excellent.

I went with the fried steak tacos. They were absolutely delicious. Super crispy. That secret taco sauce was banging! I could have drank that stuff. I also got a bowl of elote. It was fantastic as well. Nice and smoky flavor and very savory with the grandma and the cheese. Was very very happy with it. Prices were more than fair. Service was awesome. Atmosphere laid back in casual but inviting and friendly. I will be back.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here while visiting. We had a table outside right on the water with a beautiful view and enjoyed watching the sun set. We were able to get seated right away, service was excellent and quick. Everything came out promptly, food was great, and service was quick! This was a great place with a fabulous view.

First time trying Buen Apetito and I can say that I'll be back. I had the veggie fajitas without cheese and they were fabulous! Portion size was large, I had enough to last me for lunch the next day. And as a bonus, I got to watch the cutest little groundhog family on the edges of the golf course. 😁

Plenty of parking. Good food options for everyone.

Best Tijuana style tacos in San Diego. Abodado, Asada and brisket were smackin! You can get plain fries or add meat of choice. Cactus and linguica were the other options for tacos.
This restaurant itself is nice inside and out. The service and food however was not... it took a very long time to get drinks. Meals came out very separately. None of our meals were better than OK. My quesadilla looked like 2 soft tacos with a pile of cold peppers and tomatoes on top. waitress didn’t come back till half of our party had eaten and left. I told her I was unhappy with the food- she asked if I wanted to take it home or order something else. She went back and forth with me over the food being taken of the bill ($8.50) kept telling me that’s just how it’s made. Real confusing experience, wanted to love it but it was unfortunately a no 😕
Great view of the river and Cinci skyline from the large & covered patio. Was a little concerned at first when it took 15mins for the waiter to bring us water but apparently recognized it and returned with complimentary queso & guac. Food is delicious and go hungry as the portions are huge!
A great Mexican bar and restaurant on the Ohio River. Delicious food and drinks. Good service. Started with the Quest Fundito. I had a spicy chicken and steak burrito, my friends had a shrimp special, a sth western burrito and tamales. We also had 3 margaritas and a Dos XX beer.
So mid. Fried tacos with carne asada tasted and looked like it came out of a can. Overpriced and not worth it.
I order the Burrito supreme and its is so delicious
I clean sweep my plate. so good and great service

Good service and food ingredients ✨Just personally hope their seasoning can be better and saltier.
Good location with plenty of parking space. Food was OK. My steak was way too chewy but scallops were cooked perfectly. Big portions. Authentic in flavors. Service was slow. We waited a long time for our food to be served.
I chose Mexican for my birthday and had never been to Alburritos so we gave it a try. The food was pretty yummy and enough left over for another meal. The only thing we didn't get a picture of was the fried ice cream... yum! Great bday dinner. Our waitress was very bubbly, friendly and attentive. I will forewarn you that it's not a cheap place to eat, but a good choice for a couple times a year for a special dinner.

Great quality and quantity of food. Last time went here 2 years back and today again visited as I was in town! Nothing changed, still maintain the same quality of food.. and worth visiting.. had vegetarian fajitas. Quantity is great! Easily 2 people can have in one plate.
Taste was okay compare to other states But best in Vermont until now. We ordered few dishes. Taste was okayish as per expectation. But Nachos was bit bitter. Good thing is they gave us discount for that dish.
This place is great. Food comes out quick, and everything is absolutely phenomenal here. If you're from the deep South West, this may not be as authentic, but I still enjoy every bite. This place is close to base, so it's a great choice for a quick pick-up on your lunch break if you're military. (Try the Crazy Breakfast Burrito!)

I love this place!! Is so good in taste and cheap also!! Love the quesadillas and the burritos 🌯 so big and tasty. Coming back every two weeks 💕
Went here for the first time today. Really great indoor and outdoor space, which I imagine would be really good for a friend group dinner or larger event, but also great tables for two. Burrito was fantastic (and huge). I especially liked the homemade hot sauce and freshly cooked sweet potato fries made from freshly cut whole sweet potatoes. I highly recommend this place! 😋
Absolutely spectacular. A must visit for locals and tourists alike. The mole sauce is the best on the planet. Ask them the origin of the recipe.
Everything here is so great. I haven’t ordered anything here that wasn’t really good. They have many selections on the menu. We came one night because it was one of the few places open late after getting off work. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. It’s always a very satisfying meal at good prices. The place stays busy inside and the drive thru so a lot of other people feel the same way. We’ve been here many times and we always get the same good quality.

Food very good. 2 hour wait ridiculous. Can't stand at bar with a drink waiting for your table...see second sentence. Very happy they have a much nicer location but arriving at 510 pm and not being seated until 7 is unreadonable...and they don't accept reservations. We were there on a Thursday. Glad other there are quality choices in the area that will take reservations. Good luck if you give it a try. Oh, and the waitress was very nice...hostess not so much.

Went in today during my lunch break and ordered guac and chips to go. The chips were cold, and the consistency of the guac leads me to believe that they add water or something else to it so they don’t have to use a whole avocado. It doesn’t even taste like avocado. Definitely not worth $7+.
Food was fantastic, authentic Mexican, the margarita could have been a little stronger, definitely will go again.

Tried to give this place another chance. Disappointing AF! Tasteless small portions, small tacos. Definitely won’t be come back here again.. The only good thing about this place is that it was open late. I will never cheat on Taqueria Gloria’s again! Not to mention customer service sucks.
Service excellent. Food is delicious and the Margs, to die for. Love this place!!!! I had the shrimp quesadilla and hubby had the El Cabalero Delicious!!
I’m so glad to have stumbled upon this restaurant. The name made me think it was another cheap texmex place, but it certainly wasn’t. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, the hard cider was fresh and crisp, and the paella was the best I’ve ever had (sorry mom). If you get Taylor as your waiter, tip her generously!
First time visiting here and visited during happy hours. They have $8 margaritas and $3 beer selections. Like other reviewers mentioned before the chips and salsa served were really bland and cold. Kinda tasted like store bought ones maybe even worse. The margaritas were decent and fried tacos tasted good. Overall a decent mexican joint but there is better options in the nearby areas.
Excelente comida con un sabor 100 por siento mexicano los mejores platillos que e comido son en Germán restaurant
I love this place. The food is really good, it's clean, and the service is quick. They are very friendly and always put the customers first..

Ridiculous. Half empty, 1 piece of tomato, very little rice, poor food box.Cost $20 form uber Eats. Same thing from the food truck is $7 and they are filling the whole food box. Don’t recommend. Will not order again.

The picture shows exactly what I received, haven’t eat anything yet.
Good service, ordered online and was ready before I got there. Mexico City has always been a staple of Denver! Everything changes eventually, still a great place to eat anytime

This is a very unique little eatery. It is tucked into the corner of a smoke/convenience market so the atmosphere is not fancy at all. The tables and eating area was clean, and simple.
That being said, the food was amazing. My wife had the simple "American" breakfast and it was well prepared. I had the Caldo de Res and it was fabulous. Absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend.
Love the food, atmosphere and service here. Best place to eat in East LA, hands down. The best meal value-wise is the nacho platter, but honestly I've never gotten a meal here I wasn't happy with. It's a good place to go relax with friends or family and the dining area is spacious which is nice.

We have noticed that this restaurant’s parking lot is always packed so we decided to try it. I had a cheese quesadilla which had tomatoes and onions inside with guacamole and sour cream on the side. Unfortunately, the quesadilla was extremely greasy and had a ton of onions. I had to pull open the quesadilla and scoop out so many onions. My boyfriend had the carne asada tacos, which he said were good but had too much cilantro. The chips and salsa were complementary to start with, however on the bill it was $1.50. The salsa that came with the chips also had way too many onions. The food was ok but not anything special.

Ordered chicken fajitas and received a meal similar to that of what was served at Fyre Fest. A) why are they being stingy with the rice and beans portion B) barely any chicken C) the fajitas were not heated up at all, they had that raw, doughy taste as if they were taken straight out of the package D) no seasoning whatsoever in the food. Highly disappointing!
Humberto, the owner, has a true passion for food and art! It shows in the amazing artwork he displays and pares it with delicious fresh Mexican foods! Everything I have tried from the salads to the salmon are wonderful! A true experience for those that love food, art and an unbelievably beautiful restaurant! We take all we ant to impress for business meetings to Tamayos. A true gem in East LA!
Best Mexican food I’ve had! The quality of their food was so good. Everything was fresh and the vegetables didn’t seem like they had been left sitting out like it does at other places. The spices they used on my meat were perfect and the steak was tender. Easily the best rice I’ve ever had. I’ll be returning.
The menudo was very good in terms of flavor and spice but my take home portion of the jumbo size for $13 -14USD did not even fill the bottom portion of a standard soup bowl. This has happened to me a few times now, so it is best to only eat menudo while at the restaurant. I’d love to give the soup its self 5 stars aside from being skimped the past few times with take out orders, so enjoy otherwise. Note the photos are taken before I add the broth.
One of my favorite places to dine. Great menu selection, everything made to order. Philipe is the head waiter, he is the best, just introduce yourself and he will do what it takes to satisfy your dining experience. Nice atmosphere, use to be an art gallery, plenty of dining space and restaurant is very clean. Secure valet parking or you can park on street. Nice comfortable bar with TV's to watch your favorite sports.
Food was great . Tori was an amazing waitress and answered any questions we had even if she had to ask the kitchen. Will definitely come back at some point.
The food is amazing, flavors on point. The blackened mahi mahi tacos were huge, fish was fresh and tender. And the muchachos enchiladas were great covered with savory rancheros sauce, the beans were nice mushy and hot, the mexi rice could have been better but it was still a good pair with the enchiladas. The waitress was sweet and made sure we had good time at our lunch.
The location is interesting, it has a nice terrace, but I was disappointed with the food, the refried beans tasted like curry and reminded me more of Indian food than Mexican. The rice was a bit mushy and contained lots of tomatoes. (I suggest to write it in the menu) there was very little chicken in the plate, but the lettuce and cheese were filling a plate. Service was Ok. Not sure I will return.
Over priced and disappointing. We ordered two margaritas for +$20 with our take out and one of them leaked out because the cap wasn’t closed properly. We wouldn’t have ordered them if we knew they came bottled and without ice. Food was good but not worth the price.
Had dinner with family and very much enjoyed it. If I have a "gripe" it would be that many of the meals do not come with rice and beans, but you could order them ala carte. The margaritas are a good size and were good tasting. I would recommend eating here.

It locates in a convenient place with a large parking lot. Waiters were very friendly and served dishes quickly.

As soon as we ordered our plates, we got many chips with two sauces. Both were slightly spicy but delicious. We couldn’t stop eating it until our orders arrived.

Both dishes that we ordered were delicious. The vegetables were fresh and crisps. My wife ordered something Mahi-mahi was in, and she was happy with it.

The only petty complaint is that the waiter put all guests in one row while many seats were empty in the restaurant. I do not think that it was a good idea during the pandemic. I did not feel safe.

On the bottom line, it is an excellent restaurant to go to.

If you are in south jersey and looking for authentic Mexican food from a clean and trustworthy restaurant you absolutely HAVE TO go to The Mexican Food Factory! Coming from Arizona we know good Mexican Food and this place does it right. The atmosphere is inviting, clean and there's plenty of seating with a bar and an outdoor patio as well.

My husband and son order the steak burrito and I usually order the shrimp fajitas. The chips and guacamole are fresh and delicious. And if you are a margarita lover I highly recommend the "Flaca". It's the best margarita, not too sweet, not too strong with the perfect balance between tequilla and lime juice (I'm not a fan of sweet and sour and this drink tastes fresh, not like it came out of a bottle of pre mix)!
Pretty good upscale Mexican place. A little on the pricey side, but worth it. Everything I have had, has been really good. The staff is very courteous and friendly!
Came here for my brother's graduation dinner on a Friday. It was fairly empty, there is only valet parking. The area surrounding the restaurant is not what you'd expect from the incredible service you get once entering this establishment. The outdoor facade/ look is not appealing. The place looks as if it was a repurposed motel building made into a fine dining Mexican restaurant. The place is pretty big with plenty of seating for large parties. The interior is much more appealing to the eye with large canvased paintings of Mexican artists. My favorite was the recreation of The Last Supper but with abstract pineapples.

The food was good but not out of this world Mexican food. The prices are definitely high for what you order. I believe the chicken was the best. I ordered their combination of chicken flautas and the Chile relleno. Portion sizes are big which makes it all worth it in the end. Highly recommend the prickly pear margarita! (Red) Overall, would come again for a special event like another graduation. We had 2 vegans (including my brother the grad) and we were given great service and accommodation for our diets. He had the veggie wet burrito.
