38 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lavallette

“Good food awesome service.“

“I’m about a month behind on this review but I love this restaurant! The food is always good and we always get great service. I ordered two Caja Loca packs and some extra stuff for my husband’s birthday back in August. I came by the day before and paid for it all, told them when I needed it, and it was super easy to take care of. I came by the next day and it was hot and ready for us. They were very sweet and the food was incredible. And it fed a bunch of us! Love El Pollito Loco and their staff. Thanks for making my husband’s birthday special. You guys are great!“

“Very good! Great service and nice people.“

“Very impressed, it’s a lot of food for your money. Everything is so fresh, my steak quesadilla wasn’t even greasy! Perfect I’ll def be back“

“Ordered delivery for our first time because our son said that they were great. Young woman on phone was very nice and verified all items in order. Delivery was quite fast for it being dinner time and the young man was very nice.. The chimichangas are outrageous! The green sauce is great but the mole' is really great. The empandas come smothered and can be an entire meal on their own. Really good stuff. They even add seperate containers of rice and beans. This is a superior restaurant.“

“Finally tried this restaurant tonight and I was pleasantly surprised! The food is fresh and authentic. Everything from the chips to our meal to our waiter was wonderful. We will be back again soon!!!!“

“I wanted something that I had ordered in other restaurants but did not know the name. Aldo had me explain and told me what it was . Turns out , it was even better than I had at other Mexican restaurants!!! Absolutely the best Mexican food around!!!!!!!!“

“If you like Mexican chain food restaurants this is the place to go. The inside of the restaurant was nice. A little weird that they had Spanish music outside the restaurant, but indoors, you felt like you were in a techno club. This is not authentic Mexican food for those who enjoy the taste of a good home cooked meal.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS!!! I make sure to come to El Familiar every time I visit TR! The staff and owners there are so friendly and treat you like family.“

“Stopped in just for lunch.
I have never been there but I heard a lot of good things about their food.
I ordered the Birria de Res Quesatacos. I gotta say it was absolutely delicious and authentic.
I am not a big fan of onions, but the way they made the food it was right on point.
The price for everything was the same if I went to a fast food place.
Really good, authentic Mexican food.“

“My Wife & I had Dinner there Saturday Evening, and it was the Best Dish I have had anywhere in over a decade. The Burrito, Chimichanga Dish was on par to the Culinary Excellence of Emeril's Table 10 Restaurant in Las Vegas. We both look forward to Our next Visit very much. Thank you.“

“We have been loyal customers for years coming in once a week. You changed the topping on the tacos from fresh tomatoes and cabbage to this awful marinated salty cabbage concoction that is not edible. if you don't change back we will have to find another taco place.“

“Along the stalls of the seaside boardwalk taco-tastic caught my eye because of its loud fun music and limited menu (so of course it must be delicious). I am so glad I forewent a boardwalk slice or gyro and went here instead. The Birria tacos were delicious- braised breef and crispy shell, with the most perfect consume. The Mexican corn was absolutely insane - the combo of flavors delicious! And the best empanada I’ve ever had? It was mouth watering and melty. Please, go here on your next seaside NJ boardwalk prowl!“

“Really good experience. Great customer service friendly. clean place, Food excellent.“

“Good food, good service, clean and friendly! Delicious!! Thank you!!“

“I ordered for the first time here. I ordered a bowl with grilled chicken. The bowl was missing the chicken. The website sent the order to the store missing the grilled chicken so definitely not the fault of the store. When I came back they showed me the slip confirming that the mistake was on the end of the website. They were super nice about it and just added the grilled chicken to the bowl for me. Both people working there were helpful and nice.“

“UPDATE -I spoke with Emily and she was totally amazing and rectified the situation! Will totally be going back!!

We ordered from DoorDash and totally got the wrong order. I called and spoke with a really nice girl, then call failed. Tried calling back 3 times and the voicemail kept repeating itself. You NEED to have the owner’s or manager’s email so we can contact them directly on the website or Google.“

“Simply the most authentic Mexican food in the area! My wife had the tripe soup and I had a platter of steak, chicken, chorizo, vegetables, rice and beans. With beverages total tab was $55!! Can't wait to go back. Love this place ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room in restaurant. Easy in/out of front door.“

“Muy rico y muy buena asistencia“

“Food and staff are amazing! Hands down the best Mexican food I have had in this area.“

“Amazing food! great and quick service, we will be back! loved our burritos, copes and churros, thank you!!“

“Very delicious authentic Mexican food with flavor. Salsas are real Mexican. Like eating at my moms house. You need to try their food. Service was busy but great, they made sure I had my Salsas and tortillas. They have a grocery store, meat place, and bakery.“

“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.“

“The staff at Pine Belt Subaru love Tacqueria Madrigal. The food is out of this world!!. Thank you for making delicous food! :-)“

“Absolutely outstanding tacos!“

“we got two entrees and an app. the chips were forgotten and there was a wait but very understandable with being grand opening around dinner time hours. birria was phenomenal IMO. Queso was very smooth with a nice spice . the pineapple salsa was very tasty. a lot of promise with this company . would def order again“

“Stop for lunch today I had three Carnita tacos. My wife had two shrimp tacos absolutely excellent mine might've been the best I've ever had and I've had some tacos in my head. My wife also loved her. The service was fine atmosphere basic but festive Mexican. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Zero complaints about the food. It is quite delicious. I have been to the drive thru and now this one. Great Food. Staff is extremely nice however they do dot understand much English at all so it was very difficult to communicate certain things for an order. Also I'm just curious as to why the prices are different between all the locations. Toms River $8 for 2 empanadas but Brick it's $5 for one making that $10 for 2 of them. As well as most other items are like $1 or $2 more then the drive thru. Seems like the walk in stores are all mostly the same. But again the food is delicious and the staff is very nice at all locations!!“

“First time here and I've been to so many Mexican food restaurants. By far this is the best. I order huevo a la Mexicana and omg it was delicious. My plate could feed 2 people. The beans are awesome. No more driving to lakewood for Mexican food. I'm staying where I live and it's not far from me. I will be back El Poblano. Que Rica comida. ❤“

“Every time I’m in Seaside, I always go to Spicy’s. The food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly. I have severe food allergies and the staff is always very careful-which I appreciate. I thought one of my allergies (beans) would be an issue because there are beans in many of the dishes. However, there were many things that I was able to eat and feel safe. I got fajitas and they were amazing. I believe our waitress was Diana and she was amazing and very careful. If you have food allergies, Spicy Cantina is definitely a safe place to eat!
