“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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! 🙌”

“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.”

“The newest addition to the Red Bank Mexican dining scene, La Shona boasts a wood and brick high-ceilinged dining room and plentiful Bridge Avenue Street parking. A large lot behind the building helps, too. They will customize your guacamole order, have a few items others don't and some choices with preparations and sides. Open 9am to 11pm 7 days! There bar seating near the kitchen in addition to regular tables.”

“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.”

“We ordered the house salsas and I have to say that the green sauce was so elegantly executed. The red salsa was smoky and velvety. I also enjoyed a steak chimichanga which did not disappoint. The green sauce on that was a symphony. You can taste the white wine. Well executed as well. We will be back for sure. 😊”

“One of my favorites ever since I was a kid. The chimis are just unbeatable. Chips and salsa (free!) are fresh and out of this world. Prices seem high, but not compared to anything else in red bank and probably because I remember when you could get the same thing for $12 20 years ago. Highly recommend. This is the pinnacle of American Mexican food. P.s. sorry about the photo, meant to get this before I ate but literally could not resist.”

“🌯 Bubbakoo’s Burritos – Hazlet, NJ 🌮 Food & Variety Bubbakoo’s Burritos offers a great selection of Mexican-style food, including burritos, bowls, quesadillas, tacos, nachos, fries, and drinks. There are plenty of options to customize your meal based on your preferences. 🍗 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! 🌯👍”

“This was a really cute spot. I ordered two tacos to go - chicken and spicy pork. The presentation was really nice and they were very good tasting. I paid about $11 both both which I thought was reasonable. They were garnished so nicely and came with two side sauces. One was a green salsa which was tasty and refreshing and the other was a spicy red cream sauce that gave both flavor and heat. I did not order ahead for takeout but my order was ready quick and the young man at the counter kindly told me I could take a seat in the dining area while I waited. The fridge was also stocked with a variety of beverages which I thought about purchasing.”

“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.”

“The food is consistent. And DELICIOUS. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants as it’s my favorite. And this is my go to. Slow-er on the service but that’s due to how incredibly busy they are with take out orders alone. It’s family owned and run. They are so nice and I can’t speak enough about how authentic the food is.”
