29 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ocean City

“My first expereince with this restaurant was very positive. Got takeout on a Friday night that included the taco platter. Had the chiorizo and carnitas tacos along with rice and beans. Food was very tasty and fresh. I will definately be back.“

“A favorite of ours! We make it a point to eat here at least once or twice any time we’re vacationing in OCNJ. We’ve even driven up from Philadelphia in the off-season just for a taco fix. Also, the cheesesteak quesadillas are a real treat. Nothing fancy here; just a really good meal! Highly recommended and we wish they were open all year.“

“I must have passed this place year after year but never noticed it before this past summer! We enjoyed a Sunday brunch seated outdoors under a canopy. It was a very hot morning but there was a lovely breeze coming off the ocean. Our meals were delicious! I had a breakfast burrito which was large and heavenly! The coffee was good, too. Staff was helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Brenda's Cafe!“

“We ordered food for take out and everything was great. The only problem I had was that I ordered a chicken and cheese quesadilla, and it was so spicy that I couldn't even eat it. No where on the menu did it say that it came with red peppers and jalapeños. Even my bf who loves spicy food said that it was hot so I know it was bad. Thankfully he shared his food with me. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their meals!“

“The French toast with fresh fruit and the huevos rancheros were so yummy. It's on the Main Street, not a side street as Google maps says. Blue wall. Definitely a hole in the wall. The tile was falling apart. The coffee was really good too! We didn't eat for another 14 hours but I didn't feel heavy afterwards. Just pleasantly full. I highly recommend this place as opposed to the places in the casinos.“

“I usually get gringo tacos, their Philly jawn, and street corn, but today I got their breakfast for the first time and the breakfast tacos with steak were the best I've ever had and the homefries that come with it are perfect too... Well worth the money, and very fast wait time, usually 10 to 15 mins.. Easy 5 stars.“

“After a disappointing experience with our hotel, our expectations for this weekend trip to Atlantic City was low. AC is going down hill.Then we went searching for food and found this little spot. At first, we kept our hopes low. However, the staff was really friendly. We ordered some tacos and chimichangas. OMG the food was amazing. All of a sudden our trip to AC is looking up. It was really what we needed and a big win despite the wrong foot the trip got started on.I really want to go back there again before leaving AC.“

“The first time I stopped in to eat is when they only accepted cash. I only had my debit card on me, so we left. So I finally got back today to try it, and it was AMAZING!! I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner. The atmosphere and food were perfect. The only thing they didn't have was Horchata. And now they accept credit and debit cards. We will be regulars for now on.“

“One of the best "random restaurant while traveling" experiences I've ever had in my life. Food was absolutely top notch. Our server (Tyler) was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. Portions were plentiful, atmosphere was casual but spotlessly clean. And surprisingly inexpensive. Wholeheartedly recommend.“

“I am so honored to give La Negra, it’s Christmas night, we are in AC tasting their local dishes. Tonight we had Mexican food as Christmas dinner while playing in the casino. They are sucha hard working family owned business. Mom was the cook and the son delivered food.Food was tasty we had the nachos with chicken, chicken quesadilla and the grill chicken dish. Good portions and delicious. Este bueno y barato.“

“I pre-ordered two heart-shaped pizzas for a party. Jeni's created them beautifully! I only got a picture of the plain one, but both looked wonderful! As always, they were hot, fresh, and delicious as well! This is my favorite pizza shop in Atlantic City, not just for pizza either. Cheesesteaks, wings, etc. Are all made to order, and done with skill by this sweet family-owned operation. Support this local small business and enjoy!“

“Isabella's is a great breakfast spot cafe that transforms into an awesome Mexican restaurant at night! Stopped in there for brunch on our way home from AC this past weekend and as per usual, everything was phenomenal! She had the chicken cutlet sandwich which comes with spinach, roasted red peppers, and provolone. I had ordered the lunch special which was fresh tuna topped with micro greens, cucumber, tomatoes and an aioli. I could honestly eat that sammich everyday it was so good! We try to stop in as often as possible!“

“This was my first time trying trying Tacocat and the order process was easy and efficient. Best of all the food was delicious - very well seasoned. The angry shrimp taco was perfect. The chips are fresh and guac is great. Owner is very kind! Do think - go try tacocat!“

“The enchiladas were so good !!!I got the beef .Definitely not the “Americanized” ground beef .So flavorful with the fresh ingredients .If you aren’t a spicy lover . Maybe ask for the sauce on the side or ask if they have something very mild .I had the green sauce and it had one heck of a kick but in a great way ..they didn’t have any vegan options on the menu but the vegan taco they came up with for us was on point .Very appreciative of them doing that . They nailed it !!!Service was great .Will be going back many more times !!“

“For a hole in the wall place they have amazing food here. Big portions, smells awesome, and tastes great. No public bathroom from what we saw it was out of order. You have to pay to park if you park in front of the store, but parking is no much. Look at the menu before you go as the ordering counter is small and there are only 4-5 tables you can sit at inside to eat. I had the TLAYUDA there and eating half of it filled me, definitely can feed two people.Parking: Using the app you pay with your phone and log you info for parking.“

“Placed an order for pickup tonight right before they closed and not only did they take my order, they also made my food with love. The store was clean and the staff was pleasant. Steak sopes were delicious as well as the orange and green sauces it came with.. Definitely worth a detour if your in the area.“

“Food was amazing. The workers were amazing. The restaurant was beautiful. Food was freshly made and it was definitely worth the wait. Definitely will be back. 10/10 Thank you Atlantic City Pizza & Mexican Restaurant.. I highly recommen Bring your family“

“These chips and salsa are amazing! They are warm, seasoned and crunchy. I also ordered breakfast burritos wrapped in pancakes. They come with homefries. They were hot, crunchy and delicious. The service is excellent as well. I sat at the bar, and the bartender is attentive and friendly. I highly recommend stopping by. I’ll be back!*Bartenders name is Jenna. She also surprised me with a slice of cake for my birthday!! “

“A beautifully designed restaurant with an elevated dining experience. Food is thoughtful and full of flavor.Margaritas are phenomenal. Apps I recommend are the baked clams and street corn. Taco faves would be the Korean bbq and jerk chicken. The doughnut dessert is a must for everyone. A special occasion restaurant for us, but very memorable and we’ll be back for sure.“

“Conveniently located next to poker room. Take escalator downstairs to food court.The eggs are fresh and hash browns are tasty. Food came out fast & warm. I particularly enjoyed the turkey bacon strips. Made to order.Order at counter & get handed a numbered placard. The kind server will bring your food and clear your table when done.Tipping is optional.“

“I've never had nachos like theirs anywhere else. For sure the best nachos in the country. I know that's a stretch but they are fantastic. Also the best chili rellenos you can find. Always delicious and always consistent. Shout out to the best waitress Arley!!!“

“Amazing little restaurant. Stopped in before a show and was so impressed with the food. The homemade tortilla was fantastic with the fresh ingredients. I'm pretty picky when it comes to meat and the chicken was so delicious. If I ever return to Atlantic City I will stop here again.“

“I have been coming here for almost a year. I love the taco's al pastor but also love the quesidillas, burrito's and cuban sandwich. All the food I've eaten is delicious...and so are the drinks! The only problem is trying to decide what to order.“

“I love it here. The ingredients for the rice bowls and the salads are always super fresh and delicious. The employees are all friendly and helpful. I usually take my food out back to the office, but the inside of the restaurant is clean and lovely.“

“A hidden gem for sure . This is a great place not only is the food great but the it’s very beautiful very aesthetic for you instagram foodies . Not sure why it’s so empty when the food taste great . The aguas frescas were incredible as well 10/10“

“Loved our dinner from Cazadores last night! We ordered a fairly large takeout order, and not only was everything correct, it was all so delicious! Birria quesadilla and supreme nachos in particular were standout. One of the best Mexican options we’ve tried in the area, and one we will absolutely return to!“

“I first discovered this amazing place. A couple of months ago. I would order breakfast for my family. Every weekend while I worked. I finally got a chance to visit, and it was amazing and delicious.

“Great breakfast this morning on the water. Bacon and cheese omelette was delicious as was my wife's chocolate chip brioche french toast. Inside and outside dining is available. Breakfast and lunch stop, very good. Service was great as well as the atmosphere.“

“The place and the entrance looks a little sketchy. No windows. The food was good. I did not see anything wrong with it. Enjoyed the chicken soup. There a bar once you come in. They played Mexican music. The place looks a little rundown but it’s OK. The server was very nice.“
