We stopped in for a quick dinner before going to a show at Stone Pony and were quite pleased with the experience. The food was very good and service was supremely pleasant. Our server told us that we should treat the menu as if it was "tapas style"--i.e. dont expect everything we order to come out at once--but we were intent on having our own entrees (two orders of tacos) so we ignored the advice and it didnt bite us in the butt; both orders came out at the same time. We started with the guacamole, which was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. For mains we had the veggie tacos and the al pastor tacos. The veggie tacos were beautiful and very tasty with just a hint of heat. The al pastor tacos were wonderfully tender and juicy but the flavors didnt quite pop for me. I would have liked a little more spice with the al pastor tacos and the microgreens that garnished both dishes, while lovely to look at, did absolutely nothing for us flavor-wise. The traditional cilantro with a smattering of white onion would have been preferable. Overall we were very satisfied with the experience (especially the guac!) and would happily return to sample more of the menu.

Amazing food, great selection of interesting drinks. Well thought out combinations of flavors all scratch made in house from local sources when available. Our favorites were the nachos, shrimp ceviche, pastor taco, and short rib. Large selection of tequila with some crazy infusions. Cant go wrong with the traditional drinks like margaritas and sangria. Go here and eat.

Great food and good service was provided here. The prices are very reasonable and well within what is charged in the area. The only drawback were the employees milling around, some within a few feet of our table. We would have rated this 5 stars if we had had a more comfortable experience.

We had a dynamite meal here 3/31/2017. Every course we had was great, especially the bacon belly, and the eggplant. Additionally, the drinks were great, and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be returning for a meal here very soon.

I had to eat two dinners there to begin to quench my appetite. The owners should be embarrassed about portion size, given the moderate to high prices of the dinner. The dinner could be served in tea cup saucers with plenty of room to spare.

Brought my mom for lunch on Saturday, now that they are open for Saturday lunch. It may be my new go-to place with the al pastor tacos and margaritas that were so delicious. Great service, clean place, good atmosphere

Trendy tourist food. Truth be told its a nice place. Food is excellent, just twice the price it should be. Expensive for tapas. Methinks gouging the NYC & Bergen County crowd?

This is one of the most fantastic restaurants Ive ever been to. Small plate coastal mexican cuisine with the most outrageously delicious cocktails found anywhere.

Too hip for its own good (unnecessarily spicy dishes). However, you might be lucky enough to have the whiny birthday boy called a pu$$y by the waitress!!

Excellent food. Not cheap once you consider plates are "tapas styles", but worth it.
