Well I have tried tortas before but not like this one.. lots of flavor I order the sauce and the hot peppers on the side.. the first bit plain to feel the flavor with the spice, it is good.. them I at the sauce It gave it a power up with a Lil spice and them with the hot pepper it was great combo. Hug portion well presented for me

This place was absolutely amazing. The waitresses Sofia and Genesis were extremely nice and friendly, while also giving recommendations for food options. The food was very delicious and authentic to the Mexican culture. It’s a small and cozy place to eat at with friends and family while still having elements of the culture. Definitely coming back again!

Great place to stop in before or after a train, right across the street from Penn Station Newark. Really good tacos and tortas. The juice was fantastic as well and Joaquin gives very friendly service.

Yummy has taco taco Tuesday and the service by Paola was so nice. Tacos are 1.5 per taco on taco Tuesdays and three dollars before tax on other days. I highly recommend it. My bottled water was 180 and the service was incredible and efficient. I only had about 15 minutes to go to my train and I made it in time and early. The packaging with a sustainable as can be although there was a lot of metal used and some plastic but otherwise it came in a brown bag. I can’t wait to return and this is definitely a destination. Thank you to the Amtrak lady who works there because she recommended it to me and to the community at the New York Penn station area at the police, thank you so much.!!!
