13 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Keansburg

“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.“

“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.“

“Great find! Everything was delicious! Excellent steak and lamb chops. It's a quiet and intimate atmosphere with personalized service. The server was lovely and the food amazing! It's sooo good! Also, the most amazing margaritas I've ever had! You MUST order one...once you do, you'll order another! You will understand this after you drink one. Go and try this lovely restaurant!“

“I took my family here after a day at the park. I’m so glad we did. The food was phenomenal!! We had the nachos, which were to die for, a bunch of tacos and the pork carnitas quesadillas. Everything was delicious and the place was so clean and nice. Great atmosphere!! Definitely recommend it! I read some of the other reviews on here and I wholeheartedly disagree with the naysayers! Give it a shot, I know I’ll be back and will be ordering for delivery.“

“Edit: Raising this from 1 to 4 star after speaking with the owner. It seems this was an outlier situation and they were very kind and receptive.

We came in at 8:20 PM (place closes at 9). The woman behind the counter seemed very detached and exhausted so I tried to be sympathetic. My burrito was a magnificent slop, not rolled properly at all. The soda fountain was out of CO2, so all the soda was flat - I made a comment but the employee didn't care even though she had charged me for the drink. The food wasn't bad but nothing remarkable or exciting.“

“Delicious food coupled with an enjoyable atmosphere! The staff is both pleasant and attentive! It has become a favorite of ours! 👍“

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

“I was greeted by Tyleek as soon as I walked in the door, my order was a little annoying but he smiled made my meals exactly how I asked and also chatted with me while making the food. Nedene was at the register to ring me up and she was just as nice as Tyleek. The two of them are awesome and I hope they are working the next time I go back.“

“We love to stop in at Chili’s To grab a quick bite. They make the best frozen margaritas. And their 3 for 3 Appetizers are the so good! I always get a bowl of their baked potato soup. It is the great! Sometimes we’ll Order an entrée. But the Appetizers and soup are usually enough. My husband loves their fajitas. The last time I was, there was with my daughter, and we shared the Reese’s peanut butter pie dessert. It was delicious! I strongly recommend Chili’s.“

“Just went to Mercado Ariana for lunch, and loved it. We had the mixed fajitas, and the amazing chicken empanadas. The margarita was also delicious.“

“I want to give them one star for service because of the young lady at the register, but 5 stars for the man who served us and the lady who cleared the table. Those two were courteous and friendly. The young lady at the register was rude when giving me my change. I gave her a $20 bill, she returned $7.10 by throwing it on the counter. I was shocked. I told my coworker who was with me (he had already stepped away from the counter). His response was yes she was rude (to him too). He paid with a credit card, so she didn't have any money to throw at him, but had an attitude taking his order. I guess we were not the right color for her (we're both different races). If I'm in that area again, I don't think I would patronize this restaurant again. I'm still baffled because I was my usual cheery self when ordering. While my coworker was ordering, I was trying to figure out the menu and what to get. As he finished, I asked him what he got, he said a crunch (or something like that) and I decided I would get tacos. I asked a question about how many tacos because I thought it was the usual 3 that you get at other restaurants. When I was told, it's one taco, I said, oh okay, I would like 2 please. I asked for the sauce on the side. Is that the reason she was rude? I'm still confused by the rudeness. I watched her after that being nice to customers (of her race) who were seated (she was wiping tables then). Smh.“

“BAD MANAGEMENT FROM A BAD MANAGER: My son place a big order and they gave him the wrong stuff when he ask to speak with the manager, the manager refused to correct the order claiming “what do you want me to do with the food, I can’t put it in the garbage “ and he insisted not to fix it. Shame on you. Don’t go even closer to this place.“
