🍗 What I Ordered
I ordered the Double Protein Chicken Bowl, which came loaded with brown rice, beans, corn salsa, pico de gallo, lettuce, and my choice of sauce. The chicken was well cooked, tender, and flavorful. Since it was a double-protein bowl, the portion of chicken was generous and definitely made the bowl filling.

🏠 Ambience & Seating
The restaurant was clean, neat, and well maintained. There is also ample seating space, making it convenient for both quick meals and dining in.

😊 Service
The staff was friendly, patient, and prepared the order exactly as requested. The overall service was pleasant and efficient.

💰 Value
The portion size was definitely worth the $14 price, especially with the double protein option. The bowl was filling and had a good balance of protein, rice, vegetables, and toppings.

⭐ Overall
A satisfying experience with good food, generous portions, friendly service, and a clean dining area. I’ll definitely be visiting Bubbakoo’s again soon! 🌯👍“

“Best taco bell in the country according to multiple sources. Sometimes the wait is long and the workers are rarely behind the counter to help if you need anything but this place is always extremely busy on the drive-thru and doordash so what can you do. Even on its worst day the food here blows away most other taco bells I’ve been to. On a good day really seems like it’s made with love lol.“

“delicious!! so good.Birria and empanada are best ever had.“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“The best authentic food out there! Love every single meal I’ve had so far! Fresh, homemade and tasteful!“

“When you r in NJ or just visiting try out this clean, Mexican restaurant called Puertoescondido located at 175 Mammouth Road, West Long Branch, NJ....food was awesome,tasty, place was clean and staff“

“The food tasted great. The service here was good. Wish the best of luck to Edgar and Melliase.“

“Amazing authentic Mexican food. So delicious and the service is fantastic. Sometimes there is a wait but totally worth it.“

“We received an advertisement with a coupon in the mail today and this place looked right up my alley. Having grown up in California, I am always on the hunt for really good Mexican food. I ordered dinner for my wife and I and it was great. The carnitas were excellent and the guacamole was great. The only thing I wish they had on their menu was Chile Verde as I can’t seem to find it on the East Coast. I will definitely be back soon as their takeout was hot and fresh. I’m glad to have found this place.“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Server was great and knowledgeable about gluten allergies as well. If you want great Mexican food definitely check this place out.“

“Andre is great. the food is amazing“

“this food was awesome! We will def be back again! Very Fresh food!!“

“awesome authentic stuff! 👌👍“

“Had to make a visit at Taco Stop Llc in Rt 35 and I was really hungry. Ufffffff - Pork chops I haven’t had in a while and can you believe D Cesiah Jimenez Burgos, owner made ‘tostones’ and of course the chips with guacamole 🥑. Sent my wife in Florida the pictures. Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!“

“Ordered take out tonight, 3 orders of birria tacos, which my kids all loved, and a shrimp burrito which was also very good. The guacamole was a big hit as well. All of the dishes were very well seasoned. Although we got our food to go, when I went in to pick up the order, the restaurant itself was very cute inside. Will definitely be ordering again.“

“The servers were great, helpful and a pleasure to work with Milina and Xavier in Staten Island on hylan blvd.“

“Excellent Mexican Food! Our family throughly enjoyed their food! We loved it and will definitely go back again.“

“So I found this restaurant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and wanted to try their $1 tacos and empanadas Tuesday special I payed $8 in total but they missed a taco which is ok because I understand the are busy! Overall the empanadas were good the tacos were underwhelming with flavor (all the flavors) but service was fast and good, and it’s a $1.00 but I’ve had better flavorful tacos for a $1.00 somewhere else, but it’s ok 👍🏽“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“Finally, some authentic Mexican food on the south shore. Ordered on Grubhub - the driver bailed and the restaurant called me telling me about it. I took a ride over there to pick up the food. They were so apologetic, even though the driver leaving was not their fault. The food was delicious - spicy, fresh, and the portions were great. Will definitely be ordering from them again.“

“First time trying Taqueria Three Amigos on Page Avenue, and it definitely won’t be the last! 🌮🔥

We ordered takeout and tried a little of everything—birria tacos, a steak and cheese quesadilla, a burrito, and loaded nachos. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and packed with great taste. 🤤

Next time I’ll be eating there instead of taking it to go, but this was a fantastic first impression. Definitely worth a visit! 🙌“

“so authentic and amazing service. such a hidden gem. Drinks were also great. The Twice as Nice was perfect for the summer!“

“My sister told me about her local go-to for tacos. I tried the 3 tacos de birria. It was absolutely delicious. Sizeable portion (I was full with 2) and it came with a consome that you could dip the tacos.

Also, the owner is so kind. She wrote a get well note for my mom on her order. I had mentioned that had been sick.

Before leaving the area, I am heading back for another order. Definitely recommend.“

“My husband and I had fun shopping there. We found many great items there. I’m looking forward to going there again soon!“

“What a great place!!! Delicious food, wonderful & friendly staff as well as a clean environment. I eat here often to try everything on the menu! I like how you order through a screen which makes everything super easy and efficient. Wish I took pictures of my food but I was too quick to eat it hahaha best guac in town!“

“We love Tino’s Mexican Kitchen. The food and ambience are amazing.“

“wonderful food and awesome portions and service!“

“Great experience,really good food,drinks,very good service and a beautiful place and decorations 😍“

“This is authentic Mexican food, very similar to the style in Mexico City, Mexico. I have really enjoyed all the foods I have ordered from here such as their soups, nachos, guacamole, tacos, quesadillas, burritos and signature kitchen dishes. They also offer a green and a red sauce that is spicy, but only elevates the flavor. I also appreciate the fresh limes, cilantro and onions they offer as well. I do like the langua burrito, which is served with rice and beans. Their tripa quesadillas and tacos are also delicious. You can find authentic beverages imported from Mexico in their drink fridge near the checkout counter too.“

“First time there today , the service is excellent , food was fresh and yummy, love the location and the seating , all tables no booths very roomy , friendly staff , we will be back!“

“My only issue was the ordering. First, when I sign into the app it keeps on sending me a link to click to get back into the app, which is annoying. Second, I clicked through online based on a coupon and started ordering, but when I signed in the promo disappeared and I had to keep logging out and in to get it. The app needs to be improved.“

“Me and family got lost trying to find a restroom and found this hidden gem. The fresh smell of their food hits you in the face when you walk in. I just ordered some steak tacos omg.. it was sooo good. Coming from Wash DC going to New York. I would definitely make my way back to this spot.“

“Excellent service! Staff was very attentive, our server, Alessandra was amazing!She was so personable and knowledgeable about meals. Food had huge portions and absolutely delicious. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers to the meal.“

“We had empanadas and tacos, both were excellent“

“horrible experience & poor food quality. we ordered $90 of food tonight. first when trying to order i asked about the birria tacos in their Facebook post. the woman who answered told me that they dont call them birria tacos, they are called barbacoa. they required us to order from uber eats even though they advertise in town delivery. so we did. the tortillas with green sauce is rico's version of a chalupa. it was inedible. we ordered a steak chimichanga - it was very fatty. the quesadilla was delivered in the form of a taco. somehow an order for nachos we put in uber eats, was deleted. when we called to let them know somethings were not correct in the order and we were really dissapointed we were told this is not taco bell. at the end of the unhelpful conversation about their poor service and food quality, the final response was, "You got everything you deserved." very unprofessional. all around a bad experience. the food was not good. we love to support local businesses but will not be back to Rico Taco Mex 2.“

“It's a nice and authentic restaurant, the food was very delicious, it was a shame that they didn't have soap in restroom, and all the taco sauces were spicy , we wish there was at least one non-spicy sauce, the prices were very good, I recommend “

“Great food and wonderful owners and staff! My favorite fajita and guacamole!“

“100 % very good service and food we will back again.“

“The food is always fresh and very friendly . Great food and attitude Highly recommend“

“Wide array of customizable tacos, burritos, bowls. Really nice touch in the offering of water and various hot sauces, salsas, and pico de gallo to the side. Carne asada taco was flavorful and ample for the price point. Fabulous decor with on-theme light fixtures.“

“We ordered catering for our son’s graduation party yesterday. It was perfection. Everything was delicious, exactly as ordered, well organized and ready to be served/put in sternos to keep warm. All the guests raved about it, and we have leftovers for today! The pricing was also extremely economical! Yum!!!“
