Paterson, New Jersey isn't the first place you think of for a good restaurant, but you'd be surprised to find a hidden gem of authentic Mexican cuisine on MacLean Boulevard next to the Passaic River. Just a stone's throw from Route 4, the restaurant serves up great food at a good price.
Service can be a little slow and uneven at times, but if you're not in a hurry, you can partake in a good selection of Mexican beers and spirits while waiting for dinner to come.
At a recent dinner, I had the pollo mole, which was spiced to near perfection and had just the right amount of heat. Mrs. Lawhawk's Hacienda combo, which included chicken and beef, was quite good, though the cheese offering was just on the cool side.
The restaurant is always busy, and for good reason. If you're coming with a larger group, consider reservations.
