1. Viva Margarita 2

Don't let the plain outside look of this place or its commercial location fool you....This place is a delight. Great food, drinks, service.....You can get many different variations of a margarita off the happy hour menu, which is unusual in this neck of the woods (I'm partial to the jalapeno margarita, but there are so many choices). House salsa is above average and the menu features traditional fare, standard Mexican dishes, many with their own spin. Portions are plentiful, but sensible. Their corn enchiladas are top-notch, fresh tasting. Service/wait staff is helpful, personable, not pushy, and they don't shove you out the door in forty-five minutes. For dessert, the churros are tasty, freshly made, perfect. We'd heard about this place when they were only in Cliffside Park, but this was close enough to try and glad we did. Restaurant, service and food are all five stars....I just wish they'd lower the volume on the music (music itself is great, but conversation can get overwhelmed)

First. let me say that their participation in the airline miles dining program brought us here. Their front door is somewhat scary, like the entrance to a Speakeasy. The interior is dimly lit with a garish decor against a black ceiling. There were no prices listed on their specialty drinks menu. We ordered soft drinks and were brought a can of soda sand a bottle of Snapple; we had to ask for glasses of ice. Even though it was after lunch and there were only about 15 people present it took a long time for our entrees to arrive. It seemed even longer because no complimentary chips and salsa were provided to whet our appetites. My barely warm bland Chicken Enchiladas came on a hot plate with lots of lettuce. My spouse's Combo Fortaleza had nice seasoning although a somewhat salty flavor. The rice and beans were average. After the disappointing entrees, we skipped the $6 Flan. They have 1/2 price Happy Hour drinks and Nachos & Wings Mondays through Thursdays that would might motivate you to visit during that time. Just don't go with high expectations for other choices on the menu.

3. Mexico Deli & Rest
Reviewed By RFNJ
This is a small storefront restaurant with some great food. I have been three times now, and every time the food has been wonderful. It does not have a lot of seating, and you will often be seated with others along the long tables that they have. All three times (weekends in the afternoon) the place has been packed with locals. The service is good, if a little overwhelmed with crowds. But the kitchen keeps the food coming out like a well oiled machine. I can recommend the tacos al pastor, and chorizo. The agua frescas and the horchata are delicious and refreshing. And it is very affordable, and good value for the price. I will be back again soon, and often.

I'm always hesitant to throw the work "Great" around like many people do. "Authentic" is another word I see often regarding Mexican restaurants.I've been to several local Mexican restaurants and this is a good one...not great...hard to say authentic.The menu is small but sufficient. There were 3 of us and each ordered a different dish.My wife said the fajitas were the best she's had locally.My daughter only orders enchiladas and wanted 2 chicken, one cheese. Had to order all 3 the same and she ordered the chicken. She wasn't thrilled with her meal but she basically prefers them to be 'cheesier'. I tasted hers and actually preferred the enchiladas over my meal, a beef burrito.I found the burrito to be very bland plus an up-charge for beef seemed unnecessary but not a big deal. If we go back I'd order the enchiladas.The BYOB is a always a nice feature but the meal, compared to other Mexican restaurants wasn't inexpensive.
