I tried this place for the first time recently after hearing about it for years. It was just okay. Not any better than other chain Tex-Mex places like On the Border or Chilis.

It's amazing how spoiled we are in NJ compared to much of the rest of the country. Only 10 mins to a grocery store?! And having a decent selection of restaurants within 30 mins!

The Watchung Reservation is nice for a hike. Check out the Deserted Village of Feltville there. You're also pretty close to Westfield which has a nice downtown area with shops/restaurants.

Robin (the artist) is a very cool person, I went out there one day and talked to her about her artwork. This was a relatively quiet part of Allaire State Park, but her dinosaurs turned it into something of an attraction. She never expected that her sculptures would draw so many people in. It really sucks to see that some asshole set out to intentionally destroy it.
