Cinco de Mexican Week
Mexico: Located in Atlantic City, Mexico is away from the hustle and bustle of the night light that engulfs the casinos. This is an authentic Mexican restaurant started by two brothers from Mexico in 1995 because they felt the need to bring Mexican cuisine to the Atlantic City area (I am forever in their debt for this). Mexico is a very quaint little place bursting with an authentic Mexican...
Numero Cuatro, aye yai yai!
Panchos Burritos: Panchos Burritos is nice little Mexican eatery nestled between a few random shops in New Milford. The layout of the restaurant is pretty plain, being just an array of tables with the kitchen in the back. It almost looks a little like a cafeteria. There is a very tiny bar which is stocked with some mexican and a few domestic light beers. They also serve sangria, mojitos, and...
Number 3 is English for Numero Tres
Mexicali Rose: This restaurant is an old favorite of mine. It has been in Montclair for quite some time. It was closed for a time, pending new ownership, but was reopened this year. I decided to see how it was. The décor is very cozy with lots of Mexican and Californian paraphernalia peppering the walls. There are a few tables for outdoor seating, as well as a large dining area by a large glass...
Numero Dos (Number 2)
The Tortilla Press: Haddon Ave. in Collingswood is a haven for BYOB establishments ranging from diner style restaurants all the way to your gourmet Italian dinners. Along the strip, we’ve found The Tortilla Press. It is a small “Mexican-style” restaurant with a bright and lively atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, with paintings on the wall in vibrant colors that make...
Viva La Mexico! - The Start of Mexican Week
Los Charrito’s: Hoboken New Jersey is a one square mile city that is filled with great hang outs and even better restaurants. The Charrito’s Restaurant we visited was uptown, which, was the bigger of their two Hoboken locations. As soon as you open the door the atmosphere hits you with a very lively energy. The customers are enjoying great food and a great time. It’s a very traditional...

Dinner at Tiffany's (Yeah, yeah, I know it's lame)
Tiffany’s Casual Grill and Bar: Tiffany’s has six locations: Morris Plains, Union, Pinebrook, Toms River, Clinton, and Pequannock. I had a chance to go to the location on Toms River. The restaurant was very cozy, having a distinct bar side and restaurant side. This makes it a great location for drinks as you won’t be up against patrons whilst swigging back a few and trying to watch whatever...
Panzawhatzi?
Ciconte’s Italia Pizza: The apparent birth place of the South Jersey famed “Panzarotti” is Marlton’s own Pizza Den, now called Ciconte’s Pizza. For those of you that are not familiar with a Panzarotti, it’s a clever little number consisting of pizza dough made into a pillow filled with a mixture of sauce and cheese, then deep fried for a nice crispy...
Seafood? More like suckfood.
Rockafella’s by the Sea Too: I had the chance to visit this establishment over Labor Day weekend. Let me just say, I was severely disappointed with my meal. I ate there with a few friends and had a chance to sample their dishes as well. Let me start by describing the place. It’s a very quaint, Italian restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is quite...
