Restaurantji's Keyport Mexican restaurant picks are here.
“If you are in the area and are looking for a great place to eat with nice quaint ambiance and delicious cocktails try Garibaldi Restaurant. From its various dishes both healthy and delectable to it’s clean restrooms and great customer service, I am sure you will enjoy this restaurant.“
“Haven't been here for awhile. The lady prefers the flautas at Taco Stop in South Amboy. I don't recommend that place. Los Corrales IS SO MUCH BETTER! Best Al Pastor I've had in NJ. The burrito is chock full of al pastor, with grilled onions/red peppers and Oaxacan Cheese.$14 included the burrito with Mexican rice and black beans and a bottle of Coke. Excellent deal.There are 3 really good Mexican Restaurants in Keyport. This one is the best of the three! Homemade tortillas ftw!“
“AMAZING!!! Only way to describe it from start to finish!There was a bit of an issue with the printed menu and the online menu. It appears the printed menu is a little out of date and some of the items are not on the website. Perhaps they will either update one or the other.Aside from that, there was a bit of a language barrier when ordering over the phone but nothing horrible.The food was as authentic as you can possibly get. The burritos were flavorful and big. Everything was delicious!!!I would heavily recommend this restaurant.“
“I’ve been going to Tropico for many years, and it has always been an incredible experience. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions, great flavor, and fair prices. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into their dishes, making it feel like a home cooked meal every time. I have been to other authentic Mexican restaurants closer to my home, but none quite compare to Tropico. I will certainly make the drive here for their top tier quality. Thank you Tropico for many years of great food and service! This restaurant is truly valued in the community.“
“First time visiting the place very small, but quaint. it is definitely a mama and pop authentic Mexican restaurant. The food is excellent the service is awesome and so are thepeople. You cannot go wrong give it a try you won’t regret it.“
“This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever found. Food is excellent and the service is superb. And the prices no one can beat. Rueben and the staff are top notch. Our whole family was blessed and God gave us a great experienceYou must go“
“I absolutely love Taco stop,I did not know this place existed until I got on a huge taco kick recently. The food is very fresh and hot and will cater to all your taco needs. The staff is so nice and they are very helpful with anything you need. I love how they give you the free chips when you buy food. That was a nice little surprise on top of the delicious meal.“
“Ordered food for a family party and EVERYONE at the party loved the food. They delivered the food to our home and couldn’t have been nicer. I had never even eaten there before and decided to support a local business and I’m so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. HIGHLY “
“We stopped in for dinner based on an Instagram post I saw about the Birria tacos being awesome. While I agree the pricing is a bit high you can tell the ingredients are fresh and good quality....they haven't been sitting under a heat lamp for 8 hours. The staff was super friendly! We had the birria tacos which were soooo delicious they melt in your mouth! Fresh salsa and chips and a couple of street tacos....all very delicious and fresh!! We will definitely be back for more!!! Give this place a try....its worth it!“
“Had dinner here Saturday night. Don't know why it wasn't busier as the food was excellent! We had fajitas and tacos and loved every bite! So much food for not a high price. Neither of us was able to finish our dinner as they give you so much food. The only complaint I had, which might have been corrected if I asked, was they only gave 3 tortilla shells with the fajitas. Will definitely be back when in the area.“
“Though no one was answering the phone there to see if it was open, we ventured on a Wednesday night around 630 before a show at the Count Basie. Walked in and a less than handful of folks at the small bar. No one at the tables. I had to trust the Yelp reviews. Two people seemed to be working, and I believe one was manager and chef. Menu was nice and service was attentive and friendly. The guac was very generous and very good. The entrees had a lot going on on the plate. Fish, rice, corn, salad, veggies, Brussel sprouts, asparagus. A very large serving plate. Could tell care went into the food presentation. Will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem that deserves a spotlight.“
“The birria tacos are incredible. This might be a weird comparison, but the meat reminds me of my mom’s pot roast with Mexican flavors. It comes with a yummy “au jus” that just makes it melt in your mouth. The rice and beans, as well as the guacamole and fresh chips, round out a perfect meal. The prices can’t be beat for the quality. I want to try other items on the menu, but have not been able to stray from the birria tacos just yet.“
“Love the food, Love the service, Atmosphere, is where ever this truck it at. Love the food, love the service love the people.It is so good we ate lunch with the crew then found them a few towns over and had dinner with them. NOW, where will they be next and for us not to be like a stalker.“
“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we’ve been to so far.The food, decor and people are as authentic as they can possibly be.The food is always fresh, we typically go there for an evening meal, but tried their breakfast the other day and were blown away yet again.Highly recommended if you’re craving Mexican.BYOB your own liquor of choice to mix with their tea.“
“This place is so cute! The decore is great and the lit up corner its on definitely catches your attention. The food...oh the food is delicious! We did take out once and had to go to the restaurant and check it out. We were not disappointed! Family favorite is the burritos! Definitely recommend for dine in or take out.Parking: Parking is limited in the back of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: My kid ate the food and he's a super picky eater.“
“Great food and service.Was there again last night, messed up my order and I ate it before thinking about it. They offered to make the right order for me to take togo, I liked what I ate and said don't worry about. They took it off the bill and gave us a free dessert. Again great service and food.“
“Went there Sunday 4/14 with a group of 7 people.We got there early to be first in line to be seated. Trevor was our server and was amazing to all of us!!! He kept our waters filled and came over a few times to check on us for drink refills etc. I would definitely ask for Trevor the next time I go. The food was great and no wait to be seated since we got there before opening at 1130.“
“When it comes to Mexican cuisine, this is the spot where you should spend your money. Small location but suitable for a party of 4. I mean, you just have to make a stop and try for yourself. The price is also great for the food you're getting. Try it out.“
“Today's Visit, March 28th, 2023Unable to pin ? our current location on Facebook, but Google Maps can, for First Breakfast on the return to Medic Unit #1201 for the start of the 8 week rotation.The Atlantic Bagel Company has a spot just across from the Train Station.Today's sandwich was a Bacon, Egg, Cheese, Jalapeno Peppers on a toasted Hard Roll with SPK...It definitely was delicious and a more reasonable price than one of my sandwiches during the last 2 shift's on Medic Unit #1201...This was a good start on the shift with a uninterrupted meal!!!“
“Excellent Mexican food -- best in the area. Restaurant is byob with other solid drink options. Wait staff is great -- I noticed they'll sometimes wait a while to visit after your meal, to ask about desserts/check. But you can flag someone down easily.If ordering take out, give them an extra 15-20 minutes. My order has never been ready on time. But always delicious.“
“The kid was craving Mexican food so we searched Yelp and found that this place has good reviews. The photos of the food looked good. We decided to try it. There is no parking lot for this place. There is a Municipal parking lot about one block over behind the post office. We lucked out as there was street parking directly in front of the restaurant. We ordered agua de Jamaica. Huge glass for $4.95. I would guess that it's 16-20 ounces. Gigantic. Well priced. We ordered guacamole which was good too. They didn't give us any salsa for the table like they do at other Mexican joints. For our mains, we ordered their mixed fajitas with shrimp chicken and beef. It was about $21 and it was a huge dish. It's not the usually fajitas that I've had at other places. Theirs comes in a delicious sauce which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a generous portion and the flavors were on point. We recommend it. Our other dish was the El Rinconcito which came with grilled items: pork cutlets, beef, chicken, shrimps cactus, Spanish cheese rice and beans. It was an alright eight. We prefer the saucy fajita dish more. We def plan to go back. Next time, we are going to order their molcajete which is listed at $34.95 so I assume it'll be a huge dish for two based on the price. From the owners description, it Comes with all kinds of meats steak chicken shrimp pork sausage. I'm trying my best not to go back two days in a row but I may swing by for Lunch later. Good is good as is service. Good came out quick and she asked a few times whether we needed anything else. I believe they give some sort of cash discount or charge to use credit card because she asked how I was paying. They add an auto tip of 15% which I didn't mind. Gave her a few bucks more. All in all, it was a good meal. Appears to be a small mom and pop store and I'm happy to support local small business. It helps that the food is delicious too.“
“We went to a football experience. They had a football special menu. Mixed Titos for 5 bucks. So we consumed eight on the rocks. Only to find out that on the rocks is full price. This is not properly explained anywhere. Not even from the two bartenders. Who were very nice, but did not help the situation one bit. Thanks a bunch.“
“Have had this place multiple times. Boneless wings were very good. Usually get a burrito or bowl either Nashville hot or ghost pepper. I would suggest this place has an alternative for Qdoba Chipotle or moes. Good food is reasonably priced.“
“My wife and I were attending a comedy show across the street, and we wanted to grab a bite before the show. The ambiance is very cozy as it's a small restaurant. The service was fast and attentive. You can tell it's a mom and pop restaurant, and it was in the flavor of the food. Everything was tasty. I won't drive 90 minutes to come back, but if I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back.“
“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“
“We went to Alfonso’s following my parents’ wedding for a small dinner. The service was absolutely incredible, all the servers were so attentive and friendly. They went above and beyond to create a fun and memorable experience for us. They cut and served a wedding cake and also played the wedding song for my parents. We had the best time and truly were so grateful to the servers for their attentiveness! We all loved our meals. The tacos were a hit and so were the quesadillas. Drinks were also tasty and they were very accommodating to offering vegetarian alternatives as well! I will absolutely recommend Anthony’s to anyone wanting to have a delicious dinner and memorable time !“
“When I say everything was top notch. I got the fried pickles 10 out of 10, the street corn also a 10 out of 10.To add to my madness I got the shrimp and jerk chicken fajitas. Babbyyyyyyyyy I was so surprised at how it came out. My food came out sizzling and I love it. The toppings were so fresh and so on point. I love this place it’s a new fav for me. 20 out of 20I had a margarita the mi casa is su casa it was so freaking delicious and I got one to go. It was made with casamigos.My first time here and let me just say I will be back. My waiter was sweet and attentive“
“Had dinner here last night for the first time after hearing great reviews of the place for years. We were a party of 4 couples. Tino himself kept an eye on us and made sure we were well served. Large portions, beautiful outdoor dining area, excellent service, and incredible value.“
“Tacoholics is awesome place to go- a must try⭐️⭐️MENU - is awesome - extremely customizable you can get anything however you want it. Tons of options. prices are very reasonable- lots of daily deals⭐️FOOD - is really good. Shrimp tacos ?

“I go there with Grandpa Richard all the time and let me say they definitely get to know their customers not just us but several people I noticed weather the sat and ate or got something to go they asked if we/they wanted the usual and even a guy that only had been there 2xs prior down to the extra cheese no salt medium well like WOW they're Spanish but speak and understand English well they are very caring and nice even the cook is always smiling they do have some Spanish food but a lot of American food as well nice portions always everything is cooked just right burgers are well BIG lol u won't leave hungry I don't think Spanish people know how to cook small meals and I say this with a smile on my face who knows maybe u will see my 95 yrs old grandpa there the story's that man can tell ya u can't miss him he's there every day at 7am of course if he's smiling he may not look 95 anyway great deli u won't be disappointed ?“
“My family and I had a great time the waitress was really nice. The food was delicious. once we were done me and my family couldn’t get up that’s how delicious and filling the food was. I would really recommend this place to eat for dinner.“
“Hi me & my wife stopped in & we had the best experience the best burritos it was better than chipotle & Moe’s with many varieties to choose from meats & sauces the burritos were big & full of goodness everything was fresh great customer service we had the pleasure of meeting the owner he was such a great guy he was so welcoming & he actually work he waited on us 10’s across the board do me a favor & get you some love chips so good you’ll be addicted I wish we had a location in Buffalo Ny we will definitely be back soon thanks again“
“The most reliable, friendly take out restaurant on Staten Island. I have been going since they opened and have never had one bad meal in a decade. Without question the best Tex-Mex around. Incredibly fresh ingredients, amazing guacamole, well prepared meats, HANDMADE tortillas what more can you ask for? Oh that's right....it's the best value around as well and friendliest counter help. The marquee item for me is the Chimichangas, while more of a Tex-Mex staple than authentic Mexican cuisine, NO ONE makes them better. Always nice to be greeted by a sincere smile as a repeat customer, let's me know I am valued as a customer. Proud they are part of the New Dorp community. (recently expanded too, plenty of places to sit and free chips and salsa on Tuesdays) Screw Moe's and Paco's Tacos, this is where you want a great, fresh, quick, inexpensive Tex-Mex meal.“
“I go on Tuesdays because it's Taco Day and it's a very good promotion but it has a wide assortment of dishes that are just as delicious. I'm Mexican and the Mexican food is not what you expect but this place is good and has great service. I would say wonderful, jovial, they ship quickly and above all, very good service.“
“Shrimp in mole sauce is delicious. Just spicy enough to make it interesting. A medley of spices blended together in a thick, dark sauce. I find it addictive. Chili rellenos stuffed with cheese then battered and fried. The batter is light and completely non-greasy. I get them covered in a tangy, fresh verde sauce that I have been ordering for years. The entrees come with rice and beans. Sometimes it is juicy black beans and sometimes creamy refried pinto beans. The service is always, prompt, polite and friendly. We mainly get take out these days because hubby picks it up on his way home from work. The orders are always complete and ready when expected.“
“Overall: top place for Authentic Mexican food! Prices are perfect, portions were huge, service was so kind. Food: the sampler was huge and had so much to try! The Birria Tacos were filled! Maybe a little more salt but the sopa was perfect. Churros crunchy and sweet comes with 4 and an ice cream scoop. The chocoflan is a special and they only have it sometimes. If they have it try it! Service: the restaurant owner was so kind and showed us pictures of all the foods. Inside: nice pop Mexican music, originals, and remixes. They also have outside seating.“
“I’ve been going to Rico Taco for years now and have never had a bad experience. The food is always on point and the service is quick and consistent. I love going there and sitting in the dining room, the food is always fresh and delicious. Their guacamole with their homemade chips and their Colombian empanadas are my absolute favorite.Vegetarian options: They have a good amount of vegetarian options like corn smut.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and plenty of stuff for kids to eat.“
“This place is great!!! Truly authentic cuisine with plenty of options to choose from. Portions are generous and the staff is friendly. The enchiladas verdes have the right amount of heat(spice) and if you are looking for a spicier option, go with the steak enchiladas verdes! Overall, great quality food.“
“(Translated by Google) First time here. I liked the Sopes. They were made by hand and arrived at my table hot. They were delicious.(Original)Primera vez aqui. Me gustaron los Sopes. Fueron hecho a manos y llegaron a mi mesita calientes. Estaban Ricos.“
“The food was amazing! For appetizers we had the empanada special and empanadas off the menu and both were delish! For dinner we had filet mignon tacos, seafood fajitas and the salmon and everyone loved their entrees!!! Dessert was churros flambé and they were to die for! Service was great, they were so nice and attentive! Will definitely be going back!“
“Oh my gosh this place is delicious !! This is a must try place . The server was amazing and even the cooks were so nice and smiling from the back :) the food was so delicious !! The guacamole was some of the best I have ever had !! I don’t even like burritos but stole a bite of my boyfriends and it was sooooo good! I had the chicken quesadilla and would highly recommend that too !There is a small kids menu also :)“
“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 “
“I really like the food. It’s perfectly cooked and well put together.I wish that I could have the option to order online without the use of doordash because I know doordash takes 10-20% of the commission from restaurants, same goes with other delivery apps but with a higher percentage.I think this will be my new favorite spot to go to for bistec encebollado torta because the location is pretty close and convenient. The pricing is also fair and reasonable. But most importantly, it’s sooo delicious, fulfilling, semi-healthy!?“
“The food is very tasty! I ordered an outer reef burrito with tofu and Cajun beans. I thought it was very good. Great for a quick bite when shopping.Vegetarian options: They offer tofu, mushrooms, and a veggie mix to substitute meat in their dishes.“
“We have frequented Woody's for years. However, this experience was not as great as usual. To start our waitress seemed not to like us for some reason. Her demeaner with us was stoic while jovial with other tables. Secondly, they made changes to the menu that I don't care for, like the guacamole on the blackened chicken tacos. Just add Baja sauce. Also, the salad lack today's salad expectations. For one, the dressings are thick and processed. They need to be fresh prepared in house. Also, bring back the old recipe for the drunken clams. It was the best around and we've tried many. It's all there at Woody's for a nice casual meal. It just needs to be rejuvenated.“
“Order takeout from this restaurant for the first time tonight. Chips and salsa were good. Chips were plentiful and thin and crispy and the salsa was chunky and juicy. I just wish they gave more salsa as we had excess chips and not enough salsa. Barbacoa chimichanga burrito was delicious and very filling. Pulled pork sliders as an appetizer were good too. Maduros were delicious. Apple empanadas were absolute favorite will definitely be ordering years with every order in the future. Only disappointing food item were the chicken tostadas. These are a staple for me at every Mexican restaurant I visit. I know each restaurant makes them different. I just didn’t prefer they were the way they were made here. This restaurant made them with chunks of grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, and shredded cheese. Overall it was a good experience. I just wouldn’t order the chicken tostadas again in the future.“
“We went to Two Taco + Tequila's Marlboro location for the first time this weekend. The atmosphere was the first thing that impressed us. We seated as soon as we walked in and the waitress was very informative about the menu and made great suggestions. The tacos tasted fantastic. We will definitely make this a regular Taco spot.“
“Ordered a cemita de carne asada with fries on the side, a Jarrito and a Squirt Soda, and it wasn't it.... total was $27.50. The bread wasn't your usual cemita bun, and meat was tasteless, and the cemita itself was pretty small for a cemita. The service was great, and the actual location was a whole vibe. I wouldn't order the same if returned. Maybe I'll do another menu item in the future... I have hope!“
“Great friendly staff. Tacos were great and flavorful. Close to the best I’ve ever had. Great spot for dinner. Not too busy at all and service was fast and the atmosphere is unique. I really liked the guacamole as it had the right amount of kick. Mac and cheese was wonderful. Would recommend this place and we will be coming back soon.“
“I found Felicita on my way home on google map. I had a personal pizza with sausage & peppers. Other than the fact that the dough tasted very salty it was the best sausage & peppers pizza ever! I want to try the Tamale on weekend soon. Maybe cut back on salt in the batter mix?“
