El Mexicano - Old Bridge

This is local to me, and it is amazing. The amount of food, plus the quality of it at such a cheap price is the icing on the cake. It's as authentic as you can get in Central NJ. They have a burrito bowl that was extremely delicious, and their churros with condensed milk are a bite of heaven. Fair warning, they do not have the typical drinks that you may find at a conventional chain restaurant (lemonade, etc). Instead, you can get some form of cane sugary drink that I forgot the name of. It's also a bit hot and stuffy if you're seated in the back, but the decor is vibrant and keeps your mind off the heat, and the drinks are huge as well, so there is no worry hydration wise.

This is as close to the Border as you're to get in Old Bridge. DELICIOUS.

Tried for the first time today and it was BANGING. You deff get a lot for your money and the service was great. Soo good and will be back
