La Catrina Mexican Restaurant – Collingswood, NJ

La Catrina Mexican Restaurant – Collingswood, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2023, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs, Websites & Influencers from 2021-2023, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023, and nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022 and 2023 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment.

Many people around the Collingswood area were sad a few months ago to hear about the closing of The Tortilla Press which was around for over 20 years. Have no fear about where you should go for Taco Tuesday though as a little further down the road on Haddon Ave is La Catrina Mexican Restaurant and I think you will really enjoy a visit there. The service is as friendly as it gets feeling like you are welcome into their home and it’s no surprise as La Catrina is a fully family run operation with Jose Medina, Gloria Palillero, Geovanni Farfan-Perez, and Maria Palillero combining the many flavors of Mexico and bringing them to South Jersey. Maria is from Puebla, Geovanni is from Mexico City, and then mix over a decade of working in and around Philadelphia restaurants and you’ll find the perfect combination of authentic Mexican as well as a bit of American inspired meals and tastes here. The decor is lively and adds a nice flair to the ambiance. My meal was Cecina Tacos which is salty Mexican beef with sauteed onion and grilled cactus that was fantastic and an order of Al Pastor Tacos with the pork perfectly seasoned and pineapple complimenting the taco spot on. Really enjoyed my entire experience and will be back to try more of the menu.

CobFathers – Runnemede, NJ

Posted on November 8, 2023 by Bluejeanfood

CobFathers – Runnemede, NJ – NOW CLOSED

Michael Corsetti got a following in the festival and event circuit with his fire roasted sweet corn. He opened a brick and mortar location with his corn being the name and adding a menu of bbq themed items. I had their Siracha honey wings, butter corn, spinach, baked beans, brisket Mac and cheese, whole rack of ribs, and corn bread. Prices were slightly below average which was a nice surprise with so many places being more than expected and the service was timely as they are take out only and had everything ready the exact time requested. Have you ever tried them? What are your favorite item or items?

Zac’s Hamburgers – Aston, PA

Posted on November 7, 2023 by Bluejeanfood

Zac’s Hamburgers – Aston, PA

Sometimes I wonder where my head is at. After a visit to Zac’s I wonder again. Before stepping into their business, I never heard of them and then to find out they have multiple locations and one of them is at Lincoln Financial Field, I don’t know where I’ve been. How can I dare call myself a foodie? This place is AWESOME! The cheese burgers, hot dog, spicy fries, and chocolate milkshake were all amazing. Top that with fantastic friendly employees to go with reasonable prices and quick service, and this place is hard to beat.

Zac’s Hamburgers is a family operated business that truly believes in treating customers like members of the family. Their goal is to provide the most exceptional made-to-order meals and friendly service, at prices that won’t break the bank. At Zac’s, they have decades of experience feeding families throughout Delaware County. Founded with a single Crum Lynne location in 1984, Zac’s Hamburgers went on to launch an Aston restaurant in 1997. The Folsom branch opened its doors in 2009, and the Haverton restaurant was founded in 2010. At each of our family friendly restaurants, guests can expect to enjoy the same great selection of food and casual atmosphere that helped make our first eatery a success.

DanDan Wayne – Wayne, PA

Posted on October 31, 2023 by Bluejeanfood

DanDan Wayne – Wayne, PA

DanDan restaurant is a popular Sichuan and Taiwanese restaurant based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is known for its vibrant and flavorful dishes inspired by the cuisines of Sichuan, China, and Taiwan. The restaurant’s name is derived from the Chinese word “dandan,” which refers to a type of spicy noodle dish. At the Wayne, PA location the ambiance is cozy and casual, providing a comfortable dining experience. Service was really personable and quick. The food was pretty good too. I really enjoyed the pork-filled dumplings in a sweet soy and chili oil sauce, 3 cup chicken which is dark meat chicken simmered with garlic cloves and basil in sweetened soy sauce, cooking wine and sesame oil, and also decent were filet of fish top with a sauce with ginger and scallions, served over a bed of bok choy. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and a good choice in the area.

Jersey Joe’s Hoagies – Berlin, NJ

Jersey Joe’s Hoagies – Berlin, NJ

Whether you’re a fan of traditional Italian hoagies or prefer something more unique, Jersey Joe’s has something for everyone. I went with the cheesesteak with fries and both were fantastic. Much better than the average pizza joint variety, with decent high quality meat and really good fries. If you are in the area they are a good choice.

Reyta’s Filipino Cuisine – Cherry Hill, NJ

Posted on October 17, 2023 by Bluejeanfood

Reyta’s Filipino Cuisine – Cherry Hill, NJ

Filipino food is a delightful culinary experience that brings together a unique blend of flavors, textures, and influences. You can expect rich and diverse flavors as they usually feature a combination of ingredients like garlic, onions, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, and coconut milk, creating a symphony of flavors. This is a tiny little restaurant, but huge in providing great food and dining experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I had the Seafood Family Platter of Fried Tilapia, Shrimps, Grilled Squid, Salted eggs, Rice, and mini flan with a few pork BBQ on a stick, and Sizzling Beef Steak Tagalog which was really good. Everything was great and would come back again. If you’ve never been you really should visit.

Franklinville Inn – Franklinville, NJ

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Bluejeanfood

Franklinville Inn – Franklinville, NJ

The Franklinville Inn is a renowned restaurant known for its elegant and charming atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and rich history. The inn has been serving customers since 1786, making it one of the oldest continuously operated restaurants in the United States. The restaurant is housed in a historic building that exudes rustic charm and has been carefully preserved to maintain its traditional appeal. The interior features exposed brick walls, wooden beams, and a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and inviting ambiance for guests. Service was top notch as was the food as well. I started out the crab bisque that was out of this world. This crab bisque is a luxurious and creamy soup that showcases the delicate and sweet flavors of crab meat with a smooth and velvety consistency allowing the flavors of the crab meat to shine. My entree was the queen cut prime rib. It was a perfectly cooked, rosy pink interior, with juices flowing and an enticing aroma filling the air. Each bite was tender, succulent, and full of robust beef flavor. The marbling of fat throughout the meat added richness and depth to every mouthful. It was great! This sides of sherry mushrooms which were a delicious and savory dish combining the earthy flavors of mushrooms with the distinct sweetness and nuttiness of sherry wine and mashed sweet potatoes with cinnamon sugar butter were perfect compliment to the meal. Highly recommend a meal here.

Gourmet Family Restaurant, Chinchilla, PA

Gourmet Family Restaurant, Chinchilla, PA

This place is a blast from the past for sure. As soon as you enter the doors it’s almost like going back in time by 30 years or more. That is not a bad thing either. The service was extremely friendly and quick, prices were great, and food was wonderful. I had their Texas Hot Dog which is a grilled hot dog topped with their homemade Texas Wiener Sauce, chopped onions, brown mustard, and on a grilled hot dog roll with a bag of chips. It hit the spot and was delicious.

Cotardo’s Ristorante Italiano – Clementon, NJ

Cotardo’s Ristorante Italiano is a renowned small family owned Italian restaurant in South Jersey that has been delighting guests with its traditional Italian dishes for several decades. The restaurant’s interior is designed with a rustic Italian theme and soft lighting. The exceptional service created an unforgettable dining experience and the food was really good as well.

I can see why so many have loved this place over the years.

Chef Chun Chinese Restaurant – Sewell, NJ

Posted on September 19, 2023 by Bluejeanfood

Chef Chun Chinese Restaurant – Sewell, NJ

This is an old fashioned Chinese style restaurant and they excelled at what they provided during my visit. The service was the highlight being extremely friendly and personable. No surprises here, so I went with the basics and ordered the chicken and broccoli combination with fried rice, egg roll, and wonton soup. It was better than your average variety and prices were reasonable. If you live around this area they are a good choice for the normal American variety of expected Chinese dishes you could be looking for.
