Reviews for El Refin Mexican Restaurant in South Plainfield, NJ

Churros we?re raw on the inside, full of batter. Sopes we?re decent, the tortilla was pretty hard.

The food was inedible. The empanadas were DISGUSTING! I threw it out and didn?t eat lunch before I would eat rotten food. The... oil is old and spoiled and you can smell it as soon as you open the food. Read more

I ordered the chicken and beef empanadas and I must say the beef was stale and tasted like old oil I cant get it out of my... mouth. The chicken I could not even eat. It tasted like old freezer like it was in the back shelf for a year. I would not orderfrom this place as when we asked them to fix it they said just leave a review and they don't really care. Just hope this helpsothers not make the same mistake I did. Read more

Had a very disappointing experience. The food is very overpriced- they add a 4% fee if you pay with a card (prices on menu are... cash prices). The food was mediocre and definitely not worth the price. I expected better because so many people order fromhere. My fajitas didn?t come with any cheese, sour cream or guacamole- only white rice, meat and beans. My burrito had whiterice, meat, beans, lettuce, tomatoes- no cheese! Never had a burrito without cheese! The food taste like something I could havemade myself. And to top it off later that night we had the worse indigestion! First and last time ordering from here,unfortunately! Read more

The Michelada berr drink is really good. Guacamole here is a must have. The steak burrito type bowl is good too as well as the... chicken enchilada. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Take out and dine in available:) Read more

I love the food here. The el pastor tacos are spectacular. I really love any place where you can get horchata. I highly... recommend this restaurant. Service is fast, and the people at the front desk are friendly. I have no complaints. Hopefully whenthe pandemic is over we can go back and actually eat in the dining room. Read more

If you have to time to pass by this delicious place . You should order tacos of bistec and tostadas. 10 of 10 place to... recommend to your family and friends. Read more

DON'T ORDER FROM HERE. We ordered a TORTA de MILANESA (to-go) and that is what was served to us. RAW MEAT & IT HAD A VERY STRONG... SMELL. Also, not even an apology from the manager nor staff when we took it back. Never going back. Read more
