The Scene
The room--all wrought iron, rough tile and Frida Kahlo art--can start to look quite spooky after a few too many of this South Jersey standard's famous margaritas. But outside, a secluded terrace offers one of the most pleasant outdoor dining experiences in Burlington County.
The Food
There are tacos, sure, but with a twist--aside from the usual beef and chicken, you can opt for the odd but tasty tuna in a blue corn tortilla. In fact, both the regular menu and the daily specials feature several excellent and unexpected seafood entrees, like grilled salmon with almond, cilantro and cheese pesto. If you prefer chicken or meat, there's a rich and sizzly crock of layered tortillas, pork, cheese, green chile sauce and sour cream, or grilled chicken topped with a chile, nut and raisin chocolate sauce.

I am surprised by the bad reviews for this place! I have been enjoying this restaraunt for 10 years and have yet to be disappointed! The first time I went I was skeptical, due to the outward appearance, but I quickly changed my mind! The wait staff is very nice and attentive. If you go after 6 on the weekend you will likely have to wait. But you're going to have to wait at any place on the weekend, so stop complaining and eat at home. The food is great. My favorite are the chicken flautas. They are deep fried and covered in sour cream and guacamole. Yum! If you're on a diet, don't eat here, unless you like the feeling of guilt. It is a great place to go with a crowd! I have celebrated many occassions at this restaraunt! Only downside - I'd have to agree with the person about the bathrooms being less then spectacular. Maybe give your bladder a two drink maximum.

I read the bad reviews. Every place has a bad day. I have been going there since 2007. The food has always been terrific. Everyone has different taste so if you have not tried it then it's worth the risk. For the bad comments, I have not seen those conditions. I go there frequently and will be there next week for lunch. Their Guacamole Dip is the best I have had in NJ and Philly. :-)

I hate to talk bad about these guys because they used to be really good when I was younger, but they have gone downhill. The last time I went there, about a year ago, the food was old and nasty. The refried beans were cold and had the consistency of library paste. I work in restaurants and I must say that the sanitation practices are atrocious. I did some digging and found out that these guys have been cited for numerous health code violations. The chips and salsa were good, but that was about it. The service also left much to be desired. This makes me sad. I miss the way this place used to be. I want to give them another chance for old-time's sake, but after my last experience I am not sure I can.
