“Delicious, authentic Mexican food! Huge portions and fresh. Very friendly staff. Fun decor. I would definitely recommend if in the area.“

“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.“

“I had always went to their Asbury Park location on Cookman or the boardwalk there. I decided to try the Long Branch Pier Village location. I’ve been back twice in the past two weeks. Natural sunlight floods into this location. It’s super clean and the staff is so friendly. One gentleman even carried my lunch over to my table and lent me his phone charger because my phone had died. Parking is free in the winter. Your view is the boardwalk and sky. A beach vibe feel. I went on the boardwalk after and took a walk. It was the perfect break.
The food - I had their squash soup and purple rice the first time at this location. I mixed them together. It was the perfect combination of just enough spice and warmth for a cold winters day. Fantastic and could tell it was not just squeezed out of some plastic bag and tossed in a microwave. This was homemade with a slice of crusty sourdough that was incredible and a nice touch. The second time I went I had every thing they put on the pork taco except the pork, I replaced it with tofu instead. There was no problem doing that and they rolled with that request. The food is excellent and consistant. There was never a time where I thought they are loosing their touch. I like the new limited time menu items because I’m always up for trying something new. The culinary combinations are so good. I wouldn’t consider it fast food at all even though you can get it to go , delivered or dine in. The prep is fast , the price is very fare , the food is homemade, consistently great and drink choices fantastic. With all that , bright and cheerful staff , view and good energy of the establishment I’ve decided to go to this location a lot.“

“This is the best Mexican restaurant in long branch so far that me and my family has visited. We highly recommend it to everyone who is looking to get a taste of good quality Mexican food.“

“We stopped in here for lunch & the entire family loved their meals. We had a nice time here, the place is clean, staff is speedy & professional. We were able to park on the side. Their us outdoor & indoor seating. The food looked presentable and it all tasted fresh. Will definitely be returning here when we’re back in this area.

Kid-friendliness: One of my kids only eats tenders & fries wherever we go. My husband and I were craving tacos from here as highly recommended. Glad we were able to accommodate our child in a taco establishment.“

“Alright, let me tell you something—if you’re looking for some real Mexican food, not that fast-food, drive-thru nonsense, then this is the spot. I’m talking about the kind of food that makes you sit back, loosen your belt, and reevaluate every bad meal you’ve ever had. This ain’t no “let’s grab a quick bite” kinda place—this is “cancel your plans, we eating good tonight” territory!

First off, the nachos? Forget about it! My daughter took one bite and straight-up said she may never eat nachos anywhere else again. And I believe her! This place ruins all other nachos for you! The burritos? Massive. The enchiladas? Smothered in sauce like they just got a hug from their abuela. And the salsas? They don’t play around—there’s heat, there’s flavor, and if you can’t handle it, that’s your problem.

And the staff? Man, they treat you like family—like the kind of family that actually likes each other! They keep your drinks full, your chips coming, and they do it all with a smile. Because let’s be real—if you’re working in a place serving food this good, you gotta be in a good mood!

So if you want real Mexican food, stop playing around and come here. Just be ready to leave stuffed, happy, and already planning your next visit. Oh, and tip your server! Don’t be cheap—if you can afford that extra side of guac, you can afford to tip right!“

“I don't live in the area but anytime I am in the area I stop in for dinner or get takeout. The restaurant is a small mom & pop type of establishment. I am not fussy about waiting or service. I just want good tasting food. Prices are reasonable. What I also like is that on my visits I see small families eat here & mostly Mexican/Latino people which tells me the food must be good because they are more familiar with the cuisine than I am. I LOVE their chicken soup and always get a large container to go. I usually get chicken enchiladas. This past visit I got Tinga which is stewed chicken & potatoes, rice & beans = delicious. If I lived anywhere closer, I would definately be getting takeout very frequently. My experiences have always been good,

Vegetarian options: There is something for everyone.

Parking: Park on the street. There is also parking to the right of the building & there is a supermarket across the street.“

“Food was very very good!!“
