50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Neptune City

“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.“

“(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“

“Brittany in the drive thru was also working then dining area by herself with one other cook I could see in the back. I went to go pick up my online order mind you it was $1 on the hour every hour so the orders were higher volume than usual. Taco Bell has no business hiring employees at little pay to be overworked like that for a CEO to make billions. It don’t make sense. But Brittany was so kind and helped me with a smile.

Vegetarian options: U can substitute any meat with beans to make it vegetarian.“

“I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food. And my Spouse is from Mexico.

We ate here today, Monday, 10/14/24, around 4:00 p.m., it was our first visit.
The food was awesome!
We each had Enchiladas De Mole Oaxaqueño con Pollo ( Chicken ) comes with rice and beans on the side.
The chicken was tender,the Mexican rice was fresh and excellent, the beans were good. The side of Salsa Picante ordered specially, was great on the rice. The most delicious item was the Mole Oaxaquena; dark, rich, and with some spice!!! Also had a side of Guacamole that was fresh and very good! Orchata was good.
The tortillas are handmade! Prices were very fair and the place is BYOB. I would recommend this establishment for an authentic Mexican meal!!! Most Especially…..the Mole Oaxaquena!!!
Atmosphere and Decor was okay. The servers were friendly and efficient!
As with most places, bathroom could have been a little cleaner.“

“The most delicious Mexican food we've ever had. My guests live in San Diego and they agreed. Starts with the thinnest tortillas served hot with a roasted salsa rioja. Even the refried beans were creamy and delicious. Generous portions as well. Iced tea had a floral scent to it and served without sugar, just a wedge of lime. Worth every penny including our generous tip for the magnificent service.“

“The establishment struck a delightful balance with its quaint and immaculate ambiance. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, enhancing the dining experience with their attentive service. The food was not only delicious but also presented beautifully, making it a memorable meal. I would happily recommend this restaurant to both friends and family for its charming atmosphere and outstanding cuisine.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“ABSOLUTELY SOME OF THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN ASBURY PARK!!!“

“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!“

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

“Place is authentic and phenomenal food. Sometimes it’s a wait for your food, sometimes there’s no walkins available, that happens at great restaurants. Food is phenomenal, get the chimichanga….. whoever said should come with a disclaimer about no walkins- gtfo. It’s a small popular restaurant, want do you expect? The red carpet? Pure entitlement.“

“Spotted this place on the way back from the beach and decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did! This cozy restaurant has an inviting atmosphere and we were attended to immediately.

I got the shrimp burrito with refried beans, yellow rice, and a super flavorful salad that the chef said was made with raspberry juice, balsamic vinaigrette, and olive oil...and let me just say, that salad was amazing. ? I was expecting your average, run-of-the-mill salad and was totally surprised. 5 stars for that salad! The rice and beans were good too, but the shrimp burrito was the weak link. It wasn't bad but I didn't really taste the shrimp much, it seemed to have gotten overpowered by everything else in it.

The chef was a wonderful person and our servers were prompt and polite. Would definitely go back!

P.S. Get the tamarind Jarritos, it's sooo good haha“

“Great customer service, friendly staff ??. Food is good too“

“Great food with affordable prices. Perfect for breakfast and lunch with extremely polite employees and very quick service. 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.“

“We were in manasquan and walked into the Commited Pig, only one choice of soup and no Caesar salad so we couldn’t COMMIT!…see this Mexican restaurant across the street, decide to try and WOW! AMAZING GUAC!!!!! AMAZING FOOD!!! BEST KEPT SECRET IN TOWN!!! We will definitely be repeat offenders here!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! WOW!!!????? 5 heart score!!! Prices fantastic!!!!“

“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.“

“The food is always delicious!!!“

“Juanito's is one of my favorite restaurants when getting Mexican food. Always a good meal. Unfortunately, they add an additional 4% to your bill when paying by credit card. It hurts me to start trying other Mexican restaurants in the area, as there are several, but I will start doing this as I view this fee as an additional tax. I'm taxed enough. Several restaurants in the area started to sneak in these fees. If everyone committed to avoiding these restaurants, you would see the fees go away.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this bubbakoos this morning! I wanted to highlight Angel who helped me this morning. Angel is a prime example of the kind of person who we should all strive to be like, not as a worker but as an individual. He was incredibly kindhearted, personable and attentive to any customer who he was working with. More people should be like him :)“

I will definitely be ordering again!“

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

“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.“

“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.“
