Business Summary what's this?
For three star Mexican, try East L.A. in Hoboken. This place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This restaurant features a full bar.

I am not much of a margarita drinker but supposedly this place makes really good ones. The couple of times I have gone, it's always busy. It's not that expensive and the food is Taco Bell quality but...

First off, the atmosphere is disgusting. The music is louder than that of a house party and the place is seemingly dark for no reason. The tacos are okay, but the nachos are usually stale; so don't...

Best margaritas in town and you can't beat their happy hours on Thursdays with half off margaritas ($4 per margarita). Pretty inexpensive, but I wouldn't eat there unless I totally had to.

East LA is an obnoxious doodle on Washington Street - the work of a crude artist with little or no concept of how to create an eatery. I wouldn't leave the architect alone with a pair of scissors for...

The food is ok but the margaritas are to die for. It is a very fun place and love to go with a group when we do the Hoboken bar crawl. Would not recommend for a date.

This is the home of great margheritas -- and very good mexican food. A good time is always had at East LA. Just be sure to limit yourself to two margheritas per visit or else! :)
