50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Manasquan

“The place is decorated really well, and it smells as good as my abuelita’s house. The lady at the front was very sweet and kind, and you can tell the team works very well together. The food is incredibly fresh and comforting. I came here at 12~, so there was no wait time for seating. The prices are fair and reasonable, especially for the amount you get- And they also have this cool little reward system for ordering at their restaurant. I will absolutely come back here in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“They do a good job here. I've been here 3 times in the last week. Each time, they got my order right, everything was as it should have been, and the staff was polite and helpful. This was even true when it was busy and the staff could have been forgiven for being a little frazzled. I'll keep coming back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing experience at Oaxaca by the Sea! The food was absolutely delicious and everything we ordered 🤤.

We got the Oaxaca Platter, Molcajete, and extra tortillas, and honestly—everything was amazing. The platter was really good, full of flavor, and the tortillas were fresh, which made a huge difference. You can tell they care about quality.

On top of that, the service was great—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish.

Great customer service, great food, and a great overall vibe. We will definitely be back soon!“

“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“

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

“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“

“Absolutely delicious food and great service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Laid back, excellent service. Amazing cocktails...Jalisco is burning--try it. And creative, delicious food.“

“Great Food and amazing service!“

“Very friendly staff, & delicious food. Parking's a little bit. VERY GOOD! unique but worth the park. Very reasonably priced, Very low key, clean environment inside. VERY GOOD!“

“I wasn't expecting their type of set up. There's a very small space to stay & eat. You order your food (from multiple food options) from a kiosk & when your order is ready your name is called & they hand you your bagged food. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger Detroit style personal pizza (which was delicious). I also ordered brisket just in case I didn't like the pizza. I didn't have the brisket yet. The pizza was plenty & it was great. If I'm ever passing through the area again I would DEFINITELY stop here. Plenty of food options to choose from.“

“Came with a large family so we had a chance to try so many different apps and entrees and each one was better than the next.“

“If your summer body goal is ‘absolute unit,’ this is the spot. The tortas don’t just go crazy… they personally escort you into a food coma. I came here hungry and left built like a refrigerator. Definitely a dangerous place for all my fellow big backs“

“Just ordered for the first time. The food was delicious !“

“Always fresh always tasty, everything I’ve ever gotten from them is a 10/10. The quality is always great but the quantity is hit or miss especially with the nachos. Maybe it depends on who’s making them that day. Sometimes its a nice big portion fills the container and sometimes it’s just like they threw some chips in the box slapped on a couple topping and you get half of a container while someone with the same has a full box. 5/10 for that. Prices are reasonable.“

“Tried this place for the first time and we loved everything! The flavors were perfect, we love spice and we were able to incorporate as much or little as we wanted with the side of habanero sauce. The vegetarian options are also incredible. My only wish was that I was able to fit more food in my stomach and I could have gotten dessert. Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Ordered tonight and everything was excellent as always“

“La comida está riquísima, 100% recomendado. Great taste….100% recommended.“

“Very satisfied by the food we received here.. we got the pork chop with green sauce and it was delicious. Smoked charcoal type flavor and a nice green pepper sauce that was not too hot. The rice and beans might be the 2nd or 3rd best I’ve ever had..
it seemed beef is their specialty and I’ll be trying that next.“

“Great place to eat good food..great service“

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“

“atmosphere was great, food was good. I miss this service since Moe's left. I wish their cheese sauce was better. homemade better, it was jarred. straight out of a can. I won't order that again but everything else was great.“

“(Translated by Google) If it's okay, it's just that there aren't any girls that are different from the normal that we look for as Mexicans, it's a bit lacking(Original)Si está bien solo que no ay muchachas variedades de lo normal que buscamos como mexicanos le falta un poco“

“HOME MADE TORTILLAS!!! HOMEMADE EVERYTHING, the food is delicious. It's very rare to find AUTHENTIC Mexican food and this is the place!!! Everything is super fresh, cooked to perfection 👌. We have to help them stay in business, share with friends, come for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner or take out! I guarantee you you'll come back! The atmosphere is great, the service is fantastic and super friendly.“

“First time here. Delicious shrimp Tika masala and onion kulcha. Tuna nachos were amazing! Boba strawberry tea with blueberry yummy. Taco trio would’ve been great but specifically requested no cheese and one came with cheese. The service was excellent and order came out quick. Definitely looking forward to coming back.“

“I ordered online and arrived a little early to pick up. The guy behind the counter was very personable and seemed eager to please. The music playing in the store was lively and loud, making it fun to wait. The empanadas I ordered were delicious!“
