“I tried a quick lunch at Surf Tacos in Manasquan. Cool place, clean with a beachy vibe and interior. Service was prompt, which is always good. I ordered the $15 plate with 2 tacos, chips, beans, rice, and a drink that is a substantial meal. Opted for a Mahi and a Surf (breaded cod) taco to mix it up. They have a nice salsa bar, and I tried a little of them all. Drink offers soda or a tea dispenser.
The Cod taco was heavily breaded and not very tasty. Salsa helped. The Mahi was blackened and offered plenty of taste. I'd order it again.
Overall, I was pleased with this taco combo as a lunch option. Service and restaurant were nice, I'll visit again.“

“I always get great service when I go to this Taco Bell. The food is always fresh and the employees are very patient. They are now using an AI woman to take your order. Although it was weird at first, it was surprisingly accurate without the usual AI lag between when you say something and when it answers. They were very understanding and even complimented me on how well I did.“

“Authentic, DELICIOUS, a must-visit! We honeymooned in Oaxaca so whenever we see a place that says they are authentic, we have to try it and this brought us right back! Will be coming here EVERY TIME we visit Bradley Beach! Do yourself a favor and eat here! We got two platters which was way too much food for us but thankfully we took most of it to go!“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing food!!! We demolished the food, everything came out fast and the service was top notch. Sanches is an amazing soul and he catered to all our needs without any problem. Definitely coming back soon. Love it <3“

“Was excellent on DoorDash. Hot and fresh. The corn tortillas didnt fall apart. Prices are good for the quantity of food.“

“I’ve been to other locations but this one - my dinner here was the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly, the lettuce and toppings were fresh, and the staff is so friendly. The difference between the Fischer location and the one I used to go to is night and day. Definitely worth the extra few minutes drive!!!“

“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 randomly stumbled into this place last night, and I was honestly really impressed! The Quesabirria were delicious! The tortillas were crispy, the beef was tender and flavorful, and the cheese added a nice richness. The flavors of the onions, cilantro, and lime tied it all together, making for a wonderful eating experience! And let's not forget about the dipping broth, which was packed with flavor! Dipping the tacos in the broth followed by the hot sauce was amazing!

The service was also great. The lady at the counter was really friendly and helped me feel at home. I would highly recommend this place for some really great birria! I hope I get a chance to come back :)“

“Not flashy, simple, deli kind of set up. almost hole in the wall. My first impression was....ummm..naa..but since my wife picked up the place, I kind of kept quiet and was willing to try it. Boy was I wrong!! This place turned out to be AMAZING. Probably one of the best Mexican food we have had. Ask for a burrito with BBQ sauce inside it.“

“Authentic Mexican food. I had the chili Relleno which was delicious. The chilequiles verde con carne were a very light green that I have never seen before but they were not lacking in flavor....they were pretty good. The tamales were a bit dry however. Last time we had tacos al pastor which were delicious. The owners are very nice and friendly. A nice find. They only have 4 tables inside. They do mostly takeout...but both times we ate in and noticed alot of repeat customers and the owners greeting them. Nice customer interaction. I will go back and continue to try new things!“

“Great food and drinks“

“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!“

“Wife had chicken enchiladas, kid had birria tacos and mango flan. Wife gave her food a 5, kid gave his tacos a 4 or 5 but the flan a 2. Said he would eat the tacos again but not the flan. Server was super nice on phone. I ordered food to go. Place was cute and quiet. A lot of choices. I didn't eat cause I had a late lunch.“

“Totally recommend ,the best tacos in town“

“My wife and I hired them to do a food truck for after our wedding reception. 15/10 decision. The tacos were incredible esp the General Tso chicken and the bang shrimp tacos. Plus the leftovers that weren't served at the reception hall made great afterparty food. If you like tacos and want to give your late night party crowd a treat after a fun night, highly recommend Tacoholics!“

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.“

“First time here. Ordered a pineapple 🍍 margarita. It's good except it doesn't taste like pineapple 😞🍍. Where is the sliced pineapple on the cup and the maraschino 🍒? But for the sake of not being high maintenance, I will end it here. Just asked. They don't have pineapples. lol“

You can sit outside on the picnic benches to eat or get your food ordered to go. Call ahead if you would like and pick up or pull over and enjoy some great food. I highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and try it for yourself.“

“This restaurant is fantastic. We are both in our 60s and had a reunion. After 3 nites in high end places we decided to try Garibaldi. It was the best meal we had all week! Just a little place on Main St. Clientele this nite was mostly Mexican..and the food was the best we'd ever had! Yes..be prepared to wait awhile..everything is made to order..but what arrives is astonishing. Fresh..carefully prepared...delicious! And so inexpensive that we felt guilty not eating it all. Best place for Mex in Asbury Park. NOTE: No liquor license so bring your own.“

“Delicious chips and salsa. Dinner was tacos..3 Hugh filled with all steak for hubby and shrimp for me. They tasted delightful, served hot, and with sides. I will definitely go back for more, different foods. Great place!“

“Authentic is the exact word for this place! Not one place comes close to this!“
