“ My husband and I enjoyed a nice dinner here a few days ago. Warm welcome and seated in their lovely dining area. Enjoyed chips and fresh salsa. Our dinners were delicious. I enjoyed the enmoladas with mole sauce and a full plate of rice, pico, and lettuce. My husband's chicken tinga tacos with rice and beans were great, too. The service was friendly and quick. We've been coming for 12 years and it is always a good experience. ”
“ Family loves it here. We've sat outside on the patio and the food is always good. My sister always orders the salmon burrito so I got her a gift card to the Montclair location for her birthday! The guy let me know the gift card was only good at the location I bought it at. Wish the servers wrote down your order... This one waiter we get always forgets something/ messes something up. ”
“ My favorite mexican restaurant in the world since I was a kid. My favorite tortillas in the world. So soft and delicious and huge portions. Great for everybody and strongly miss the millburn location. Service is friendly and knows and recognizes my family. Has literally watched me grow up. Great ambiance and fun decor. I always come back to tinga, no matter how old I am or how far it is. Wish there was another one closer to South Orange. ”
“ Good food, average prices. Small venue, close, almost cramped seating. Lively informal atmosphere. Friendly prompt attentive staff. ”
“ We stopped by this place as it was opening up for dinner service. The waiters were so kind they let us in because it was chilly outside. We ordered nachos and tacos. We tried the nachos grande which was so good. It comes with a vegetarian chilli topping that was addictive. And as you can see from the photo, a huge amount of guacamole. We also ordered smoked brisket tacos. The meat was well seasoned and well cooked. And the tacos had so much filling (pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, lettuce). It also came with a side of beans and rice. It was a decent amount of food for the price, we couldn't finish all we took the rest to go! ”
“ Excellent experience and food as usual. Service was quick and friendly. The chips and guacamole were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the bar size burrito and salad lunch special. ”
“ wow wow wow, get anything with their BBQ sauce on it. Its not too sweet, and gently smoked. i loved my BBQ chicken burrito so much, the owner came over and gave me free BBQ sauce to take home. great service, lovely decor, and good food. ”
“ Great casual Mexican restaurant in Montclair. I went with a couple of my friends and we had a great time having lunch and drinking some margaritas. This place is BYOB so you can bring your own bottle and get some margarita mix from the restaurant and have yourself some yummy drinks. Food: we had to start of with the guacamole and chips. Then we enjoyed our entree. For my entree i had the chicken tinga burrito bowl. I enjoyed my food a lot. ”
