   Great hidden spot. Loved the ambience and the food was delicious. A really nice twist to traditional Mexican cuisine. The drinks were good too. Very pleasantly surprised and will definitely be one of our go to spots moving forward.

   The cocktails are super cool and served in unique glasses (a light bulb, glass shaped like a bird,) and they even have a cocktail they light on fire. Our server was Peter who was the bartender and he had such a great attitude. I feel like he could have complained that serving wasn’t his job and he should be behind the bar, but he didn’t. It seemed like he was truly happy to serve us. Food was great, we got Mac and cheese, tacos and queso.

   We came to Bitol last night to celebrate our third wedding anniversary. This place is a lovely hidden gem with the perfect vibey atmosphere! I had visited a few times before with my friends for cocktails (yuzu margarita!) and apps which are always so great! Last night was my husband’s first experience and he loved it. Our server, Josh, was lovely and he and the staff wished us a happy anniversary upon arriving which was so nice of them. The food at Bitol is delicious! The well curated menu is filled with traditional items you would normally see but with a fresh and fun twist. The food is never heavy or greasy… and honestly everything I have ever ordered has been delicious. I always love to order a bunch of small plates to pick on. Last night we had the bass ceviche, flautitas, and crab tostadas. I also have ordered their ahi tuna guacamole in the past and it is one of my favorites! For dinner my husband had the Birria tacos which he said were great and I had the enchiladas suizas which had the most flavorful tomatillo sauce and were packed with chicken. Do not sleep on the chipotle and corn mac and cheese, it really is delicious! Josh was so nice a surprised us with a heart shaped chocolate dessert for our anniversary at the end of our meal. I can’t recommend Bitol enough and I can’t wait for my next visit!

    Franklin and his entire staff always make you feel welcome and pampered. The food is delicious and a work of art! The drinks are inspiring and served with style, drama, and panache! Don’t let the strip mall fool you, Bitol is trendy and fresh!

    Loved it here! This was my first time and we were having a birthday dinner for my fiancé. The restaurant has a really nice ambiance and great service. The food was really good too. I cooked my steak on the hot stone which was fun. I will absolutely be coming back for drinks which looked awesome. I mentioned in the notes that it was his birthday and they surprised us with a dessert and sang happy birthday. 10/10!

    What a great find! The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the hot stone steak, what a fun experience. They also have so many gluten free options as well! The staff were attentive and knowledgable. There were so many delicious options to choose from. We will definitely be back soon to try even more!

    Our server Peter was amazing. He was very quick to suggest drink options & food options; especially since one person in the party has an onion allergy. The grilled filet on the hot stone is excellent. As was the pollo con mole. Botox is known for their craft cocktails and the various drinks we tried did not disappoint. Definitely recommend and definitely will go back.

    If you are looking for fresh authentic Mexican food this is the place to go. We had family in from out of town and this was the first place we thought about. The food is outstanding and the service is spot on. Get this place on your radar.

    Hidden gem inside a shopping plaza Bitol offers a wide array of tequilas, mezcal’s and Mexican cuisines that will satisfy the happiest of foodies. It creates an ambience of day of the dead with a modern twist brings you traditional Mexican offerings like tacos and churros and turns them upscale with bold flavors and unique pairings. A must go in the north jersey area!

    The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. I don’t love the location (in a shopping center), but once you are seated it was fine. It’s very pretty inside, Mexican ambience and great lighting. Food was a little more pricey than most Mexican, but ingredients were very fresh and interesting. The owner came over to meet us and the waiter treated us to after dinner drinks. Will definitely go back for both eat in and take out.
