Uncover Manalapan's Mexican dining scene with Restaurantji's insights.
“I highly recommend this Qdoba location. Since it opened, I have eaten inside as well as done takeout on several occasions. The food has always been very fresh. And the portions are healthy. The service and the staff are commendable. The manager, Alex, is always exceptionally friendly and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend the Birria and the queso, as they are by far my favorites“
“I came here for the first time after moving to the area and was so impressed with the food. Everything was fresh and delicious. The servers were understaffed (like everywhere else), but they did not stop running around and ensuring we had what we needed. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes.“
“We had never been to a Bubbakoo’s Burritos location before, but my sister wanted to eat something other than American food, and we were going to the mall, so we found this place. It reminded us of a Chiptole/Moes, where they make the food in front of you, but honestly, this was a lot better than Chiptole and Moes. First of all, the value of the food is incredible because of the amount of food you get. The food was also delicious and prepared pretty quickly. I got a quesadilla with shredded chicken, and it was PACKED with meat and cheese. Out of the three people in my party, we got one combo which came with our choice of curly fries. We struggled to eat our meals AND share the one order of curly fries. In fact, I think the quesadilla could have really been two meals on its own. The food was very flavorful, and there are a lot of different options for making your food. The people working were awesome and super nice. I definitely would come back to visit again!“
“First time trying this place, went out with family. With so many places to eat in boro it’s easy to overlook but this place had great food, great light background music, and fast charming service. Serving sizes were perfect, the chimichanga was bangin, no wallet pain either. Will definitely eat here “
“This place is amazing I went there based on the reviews I was a bit nervous as my family and I love Mexican food and we have our fav spot but we were ready to explore soemthing new and let me tell you this is THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD is simple but delicious the tortillas were so fresh and the chips and salsa verde WOW it was a party in my mouth. We loved it and its definitely our #1 spot. Alfredo the owner sat and talked to us and was super friendly also. We really recommend this place. ?“
“I stopped by Tacos TKO for lunch during jury duty this week. Less than a ten-minute walk from the courthouse and right downtown, it was a few dollars more expensive than I'd originally expected it would be, but it was still well worth the price. I had the Birria Tacos, which came with an excellent consomme for dipping, lime slices, and a nice spicy salsa on the side. Washed it all down with a Lime Jarritos and I left pleasantly full and happy. The restaurant is cute and clean, and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend, I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.“
“Whenever I am in the area, this Mexican deli is my go to stop! Lots of my Mexican restaurant only give three tacos in the order BUT this place does four. It has been years since I found a place that does 4 tacos in a order! 100% recommend the tacos from this place and picadas. The only down part of this place is the dining, there are only a couple of tables and in the weekend it is usually hard to find one. I have been very lucky and have always found a table but I have seen others. The owner of this restaurant shows great hospitality and is attentive to customers.“
“The food be bussin'.Authentic.Genuine.Flavorful.These are the words that I would use in describing Taqueria Maria's. We have eaten from Taqueria Maria's previously, however, that occasion called for take-out. I recall the food being rather good. However, it wasn't until we chose to dine-in at the location that we were reminded of how amazing the food is.While the menu inclined towards the Tex-Mex varietal, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. The ambiance - the music, neutral clay tones of the walls and flooring, and the sound of sizzling food on the griddle echoing from the kitchen - really set the mood and complimented the authenticity of the food. The staff seemed very happy-go-lucky and were incredibly friendly in their service.Beginning with the complimentary nacho chips, you will be pleasantly treated with two different salsas (verde and roja). While neither were incredibly spicy on the Scoville spectrum, they both hold their individual uniqueness. The verde sauce definitely has a bigger kick than the roja, while the red sauce is delightfully flavorful - it's as if Rao's had a baby with a puree'd roasted red bell pepper.We ordered the burrito and the enchiladas plates. The burrito serving was massive and generous, being garnished with a bed of lettuce on top. Meanwhile, everything about the enchiladas plate was spectacular - from the black beans, rice, to the enchiladas themselves. The same verde sauce for the nachos now appeared to dress and gracefully bathe the pair of enchiladas, enriching it with tantalizing flavor. This spice paired perfectly with the chicken, as hints of lime and cilantro accentuated the entire profile of the meal. While the saucy beans mixed with the soft texture of the rice grains to create a satiating meal. We also ordered a side of grilled jalapenos which were made to perfection - holding the perfect amount of char, whilst retaining the satisfying crunch.If Taqueria Maria's was a bit closer, I reckon that my family and I would frequent this eatery more often. I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a good Mexican meal, whether that be for lunch or dinner.“
“We went Sunday afternoon as a group of 10. We ordered 9 different entrées and they were all great. My husband loved the steak fajitas and the steak with chimichurri sauce was a hit!! The food was fresh and not overly salty. Our servers were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!“
“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!“
