We've rounded up Forked River's top Mexican spots for you to try.
“I recently made the change to vegan and Taco Bell was able to easily accommodate. They replaced meat with potatoes or beans in the power bowl and it was really tasty. Very pleasedVegetarian options: You have to ask them to make substitutions and leave off dairy products. But they were happy to do it.“
“It’s honestly so hard to get things made right nowadays especially at Chipotle- it can be hit or miss. Christian always makes my order perfect though and he knows I’m a little high maintenance and remembers how I like it every time I come through. Gracie is also the best and the guy with dark curly hair! They deserve a raise or something (no pizza party, just more money).“
“This was my second time visiting Margaritas since it opened years ago. This time, I couldn't get a margarita, which, from what I remember, was the best part about this place. The salsa and chips are just ok and not very flavorful. I got a steak quesadilla, which also was just ok, and nothing special.“
“Fantastic fresh and authentic food. Excellent food and services always at Montes.. There breakfast is awesome, great lunch and dinner options. Great prices for great food. The food was very fresh and delicious. The service was quick and everyone was very welcoming.“
“Wonderful food, friendly staff, good value. My husband had the delicious Mojarra Frita (fried whole fish) and I had the quesadilla con espinaca y hongo (spinach and mushrooms). Tasty flan for dessert. Everything fresh and homemade. We had a great meal and can’t wait to go back.“
“as authentic as I think one could hope for. it doesn't appear that they had a liquor license however that the tracks very little from the experience. service was great and the food was outstanding. My wife enjoyed the quesadillas very much. everything there is homemade and again as authentic as one could ever hope for. definitely a good find even though it doesn't look like much from the outside.“
“Delicious and authentic! Everything was seasoned perfectly (has the tacos)! Our server saw us looking at a dish that another person ordered (some type of vegetable soup), so she brought us each a portion, and some rice, to try! I really wish I lived closer because I’d be here every day!“
“All Locations are great! Love the deals and discounts they provide! First time in the Lacey location. Food is amazing, it tastes so fresh and not frozen like other places. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. We talked to someone the staff and they are great, friendly and personable, you don’t see the often. I like to look at reviews and see if it’s worth and I’ve seen good and bad review especially about service and I experience really good service. The owner was in Lacey today and I was very pleased with him. It’s worth visiting. They also decorate for holidays and do special for holidays, making it more family friend type of vibes.Parking: Parking in Front and backKid-friendliness: Staff was great !“
“Nick and his team at Tacoholics are fantastic. Until we moved to this area almost two years ago, we had never been to or heard of this restaurant. Now, we make it almost a once-a-week trip for dinner with our boys. The food is always made fresh, tastes better than any specialty taco should, comes with crispy tortilla chips, and to top off the experience… the best service you could imagine. It’s tough bringing two young boys out places for dinner but they love it here! Thank you to everyone at this location. See you next week!“
“We were two couples and we wanted to try Taco Town on route 9 in Beachwood. Taco Town is a small restaurant that is immaculate, cute tables and the best Mexican food I have ever had. All of the dishes were authentic, nice portions and sooo delicious. For dessert, we ordered churros that were made fresh with vanilla ice cream and were fantastic. Taco Town is a BYOB and we enjoyed wine with dinner.If you're looking for great Mexican food I highly recommend Taco Town in Beachwood.“
“Great staff. With some though you may experience difficulty with speaking English but it will eventually get worked out. They're very nice. It is probably the most authentic Mexican food around hence most of the customers are Mexican. I go here regularly. Bistec a la Mexicana is my go to.“
“I got a Torta al Pastor for lunch there the other day.. The sandwich was loaded with flavor. The pork was deliciously marinated in chile adobo and topped with pineapple for a touch of sweet to accent the spice. Then topped with fresh avocado (right from the shell, not a plastic container), lettuce tomato, crema and jalapenos. A wonderful sandwich for the price. Would recommend all of Mark's food.“
“We have NEVER had a bad meal here! Every single time it has been amazing. Fresh, delicious, consistent and noteworthy. Anything we have tried we have loved. Highly recommend!!Vegetarian options: My vegetarian daughter loved their options“
“I cannot describe in words how great of a place Bubbakoo’s Burritos is. I would say I average Bubbakoo’s for dinner at least twice a week, and I have never been disappointed in my life. I get a variety of items off their menu, and each item has been served hot and fresh. The place is very clean and the employment is top notch. I get greeted with a “hello” and as I exit they say “have a nice day”“
“The staff were extremely nice and welcoming Food was excellent my son got a ghost pepper burrito and love it I really recommend this placeVegetarian options: There are a selection of vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: They were extremely nice with my child and made him laugh“
“I bought 6 gift cards for grandsons Christmas gifts (1 is vegan, 2 are gulton free.) They can all eat something there.Vegetarian options: Great choices.Kid-friendliness: All kids are welcomed.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor ADA tables, plenty of handicap parking.“
“If you love authentic tacos and Mexican food they will bring you back for more! The fish tacos and golden tacos with steak are awesome with fresh cilantro and of course with corn tortillas! They have a menu you just want to order everything on it ! A+ in my book!!!!!“
“This restaurant definitely deserves more love than it’s getting. It’s in a strip mall a bit off the road and so it’s not noticeable right away. That’s a shame because the food is excellent. The owner, Roberto, couldn’t be sweeter or more helpful. I asked him what he suggested and was treated to super fresh guacamole and truly tasty tacos.Best Mexican food I’ve had in a while (and very affordable.)“
“Found this restaurant by chance coming off the Garden State Parkway. Great customer service and tasty food! They had quite a number of customers dining in, yet the order came surprisingly fast. Servings are big - you will likely have leftovers!“
“Finally stop in here usually go to another local Mexican place. I bought some hard shell tacos a Horchata. Both were excellent really enjoyed their sauces will definitely put this in my stops when in town. It's looks a little run down but food made up for it.“
“I come from a Colombian family but I would say they have a good selection of essential ingredients like cilantro, onion, tomato, garlic and such and rich Oaxaca cheese to nopales. There one can find the typical Mexican condiments. I have tried the tacos and they come with 4 to the order and they were scrumptious with very good house made salsa. I would like to try the chicken tinga quesadillas next time.“
“The site requires info on a visit which I must fill in just to post....Though I haven't been there.... but . Noticing someone posted an "insect" pic . & Yes I know what it is.. After being in the restaurant business for 20 yrs now retired. For those that do Not know. . Those creatures in most cases have NOTHING to do , or at least not as often as one would think with the cleanliness of a place . They also love the glue on packaging tape....its like caviar to them. Just saying ! .... & You think rabbits multiply,,,,,!“
“NJForked River238 N Main StreetSo I place my order in the drive thru and I grab it and go. And lucky for me I look to my right as i am pulling out and there is a young man running a waving at me. It seems they forgot part of my order and he was chasing me down to make sure I got it. So you guys get 5 stars TAKE NOTE CORPORATE this store know customer service. !!! do something nice for them and not just a coupon for a free coffee somewhere no one like that...“
“My wife and I went in to order take out. The place was spotless and decorated accordingly. The hostess took our order in a timely fashion. She was courteous, friendly. Professional and very helpful. We both ordered a burrito which was made to order. We were very happy with the large size of our burrito. It came with fries or rice. All in all it was a great experience. The prise was right and the taste was delicious. A great combination for any restaurant. Will come back again and recommend to family and friends. Nice job to all that work there! Mark and Kathy“
