We've got Red Bank's top Mexican restaurants covered for you.
“Though no one was answering the phone there to see if it was open, we ventured on a Wednesday night around 630 before a show at the Count Basie. Walked in and a less than handful of folks at the small bar. No one at the tables. I had to trust the Yelp reviews. Two people seemed to be working, and I believe one was manager and chef. Menu was nice and service was attentive and friendly. The guac was very generous and very good. The entrees had a lot going on on the plate. Fish, rice, corn, salad, veggies, Brussel sprouts, asparagus. A very large serving plate. Could tell care went into the food presentation. Will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem that deserves a spotlight.“
“Stumbled on kitchen Tex mex when our regular Mexican place wasn’t open yet. How fortunate for us! The food is excellent and fresh and very affordable. The chips are not salty. A variety of tasty salsas. So good we went back 3 times in a week. It will be our new regular place.In those 3 visits there were few people eating. So I hope more customers enjoy this find so they don’t go out of business!“
“What a great local restaurant. My son recommended we go, he had only ordered delivery and wanted to try dining in. Very very good. Server was friendly and attentive. The chips and salsas came out as soon as we sat and were so good. Loved the salsa verde. I had asked for no onions in my meal and the waitress thought to ask about onions in the guacamole after we added that on afterwards. It was nice that she remembered my preference. And came out with extra chips to go with it without us needing to ask. We both ordered Tacos Mexicanos. One vegetable and the other chorizo. Happy to say the vegetables were not just peppers and onions but included zucchini and broccoli. Lots of cilantro, which I love. It was so tasty. All 3 tacos are in double tortillas. Great to make an extra taco with anything that may have fallen out or just insurance it holds together. We ordered horchata as our drink which was also quite delicious. Everything was fresh, and reasonably priced on top of all of that, just fantastic. I'd definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Many items include your choice of filling so vegetables are always an option for so many things on the menu.“
“My wife and I were attending a comedy show across the street, and we wanted to grab a bite before the show. The ambiance is very cozy as it's a small restaurant. The service was fast and attentive. You can tell it's a mom and pop restaurant, and it was in the flavor of the food. Everything was tasty. I won't drive 90 minutes to come back, but if I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back.“
“Had dinner here last night for the first time after hearing great reviews of the place for years. We were a party of 4 couples. Tino himself kept an eye on us and made sure we were well served. Large portions, beautiful outdoor dining area, excellent service, and incredible value.“

“Shrimp in mole sauce is delicious. Just spicy enough to make it interesting. A medley of spices blended together in a thick, dark sauce. I find it addictive. Chili rellenos stuffed with cheese then battered and fried. The batter is light and completely non-greasy. I get them covered in a tangy, fresh verde sauce that I have been ordering for years. The entrees come with rice and beans. Sometimes it is juicy black beans and sometimes creamy refried pinto beans. The service is always, prompt, polite and friendly. We mainly get take out these days because hubby picks it up on his way home from work. The orders are always complete and ready when expected.“
“The food was amazing! For appetizers we had the empanada special and empanadas off the menu and both were delish! For dinner we had filet mignon tacos, seafood fajitas and the salmon and everyone loved their entrees!!! Dessert was churros flambé and they were to die for! Service was great, they were so nice and attentive! Will definitely be going back!“
“My wife & I found La Chaparrita last week while looking for a grocery to buy poblano chiles. We had dinner & were so impressed by the quality. We have had Mexican food in many restaurants in CA and TX, and this little bodega/eatery (sort of NYC-like: tiny, a few tables, kitchen in view) serves some of the best we've had anywhere. We both ordered the burrito al Pastor, which was delicious and VERY substantial, served with rice & beans. One way I knew this place would be great, even before the meal arrived, was from the salsa we were given with chips. Both the red & the green were the most distinctive, tastiest & freshest I've ever had at a restaurant. Last thing: the cook prepared our meals so carefully, it took him about fifteen minutes for the two burritos-- because everything on the plate was freshly made, not sitting under a warmer. Five stars from us!“
“This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever found. Food is excellent and the service is superb. And the prices no one can beat. Rueben and the staff are top notch. Our whole family was blessed and God gave us a great experienceYou must go“
