“I’ve lived in the area for quite some time lived in West End when I first moved here after college, and man has it changed (still live right down the way between west end and pier village)! I thought west end lost its “cute/cool” factor-fun restaurants and bars/lounges and cute stores. Welles yesterday showed me it’s still there and I’ve been missing out on some amazing food!! This place is fantastic. The service is warm and welcoming. The store has a fun, authentic feel-perfect for family. Solid outdoor eating. (Order at counter though still). Prices are fantastic—and then the food! I went with steak quesadilla. Was starving couldn’t think and went for it. The menu is extensive and has your typical favorites. I got this to go and walked back to my condo. When I opened it up, I was just beyond impressed. It smelled amazing and looked even better and tasted phenomenal. This is definitely on my regular list. I will be using this a lot. Definitely DoorDash it when I’m being lazy or just walking down to get a good walk and come back with Amazing authentic Mexican food. Thank you so much can’t wait to get back!!!! 💯👍👍💙🇲🇽🌮”

“I’m one to always order a standard burrito when trying a New Mexican restaurant. To compare equally across the locations I’m visited in NJ I feel it’s important.Hands down the seasoning on the steak immediately brought me back home. Simple yet so perfect. I prefer a burrito without all the fluff. Meat beans cheese (&rice unless rice comes as a side) price point is awesome and the portion was huge for me. Fresh fried corn tortilla chips and individually portioned house salsas made me feel at ease opposed to sharing bottles or stations with other patrons. Quaint location with tradicional and festive decor. As a Latina who has lived in over 15different states I can absolutely say that this restaurant will be one of my top contenders here in Monmouth County. Looking forward to my next meal. Thanks”

“One of my favorites ever since I was a kid. The chimis are just unbeatable. Chips and salsa (free!) are fresh and out of this world. Prices seem high, but not compared to anything else in red bank and probably because I remember when you could get the same thing for $12 20 years ago. Highly recommend. This is the pinnacle of American Mexican food. P.s. sorry about the photo, meant to get this before I ate but literally could not resist.”

“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.”
