Two of arrived mid-week, lunch. We were seated rapidly, a server came within a pleasant amount of time. We ordered, the food arrived well paced. It was good, not more not less than expected. A positive experience for lunch.

Ordered lunch from here. I got the grilled chicken salad with avocado, and the guacamole and chips. The chicken was seasoned perfectly with a nice char, and the avocados were fresh. Prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend this place.

City restaurant with traffic and people but the atmospher in it is friendly music and karaoke. The food is extremely good and staff friendly and quick service. They applied gratuity no agree with this but they most have reasons.

I met up at this restaurant with my friends to celebrate a birthday. I was the first one to arrive, so the waitress pointed me to the table my friend reserved for us, and I got to take my time looking at the menu. While I waited for my friends, I munched on the complimentary chips and salsa that had been placed on our table. I noticed the artistic elements of the restaurant had a very old-fashioned vibe to them (in a good way). It gave the atmosphere a very authentic feel that a lot of other mexican restaurants lack. The staff are very nice, and they went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. They even gave us sombreros in order to celebrate our friends birthday, and we had fun taking pictures in them. Later on, the lights dimmed and the party really got started. They put on beautiful strobe lights that flashed in a variety of colors, and a professional began to sing for the customers. Once he had finished a few songs, people got a chance to sing karaoke, and I found out that one of my friends has a very beautiful voice. After scanning the menu, I ordered a burrito with steak and beans. It was actually surprisingly big for the price, and I left feeling extremely satisfied with it. Overall, it was a very memorable occasion, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back in the future.

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at the Cathedral Restaurant in Paterson! The tacos were a flavor explosion – the aroma alone was enough to captivate my senses. Conveniently located in the heart of Paterson with ample parking, it's a gem worth discovering. The customer service was top-notch, making the overall visit delightful. I can't recommend this place enough – a must-try for anyone craving a culinary adventure!
