Mexican Restaurants near South Amboy

“Had to make a visit at Taco Stop Llc in Rt 35 and I was really hungry. Ufffffff - Pork chops I haven’t had in a while and can you believe D Cesiah Jimenez Burgos, owner made ‘tostones’ and of course the chips with guacamole 🥑. Sent my wife in Florida the pictures. Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!“

“Dine in or Dine Out, Drive through is also Top Tier service. Best Taco Bell I have been to. Been going here for I believe 15+ years minimum.
Lux cravings box and Crunchwraps and Fritos Burrito are a must for Grab-n-Go quick food.
Diet friendly menu, opt out of Sour cream and dont go with a sugar filled Soda and this is up everyones ally for Keto friendly dining. Try to drink a extra bottle of water due to Sodium but always a good Option when you want something but cant cook.
Trips to/from the beach is a +1 Meal Stop (sober up)“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“delicious!! so good.Birria and empanada are best ever had.“

“I went here tonight for my father’s birthday and the experience overall was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“Great local Mexican food with authentic flavor and big portion sizes. We definitely ordered more than we expected.
We had quesabirria, assorted tacos, tres leches, and the watermelon mint agua fresh. The agua fresca is made fresh and was literally the most refreshing drink I ever had in my life.“

“Just finishing up our meal at this location and we have to say that the service and food were amazing. The server Joe and bartender Chris made it all worth it. They were attentive and accommodating. We sat at two separate tables with our teenage kids and everything was top notch. We own a business nearby and can’t wait to visit again!“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Alyssa our server was very attentive We had an Awesome experience! The drinks were out fast and our food was Great!“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“Best authentic mexican food around. The place is super clean and the people ate very nice with smiles on their faces. Being that we love the food so much and we go quite often I decided to learn Spanish and I communicated what food we wanted in Spanish and to my surprise we got exactly what i asked for. Anyway, I highly recommend this place as the food is so fresh and full of flavor! We get the Empanadas and Huaraches with a side of rice/beans.“

“Tacos here are the best in the area! They never disappoint and I’m always full with the 3 tacos that come in a plate! My favorite ones are the pastor tacos but the shrimp ones are really good too! The 3 leches cake and their aguas frescas are recommended too if you have a sweet tooth like me!“

“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“

“Great experience,really good food,drinks,very good service and a beautiful place and decorations 😍“

“Edit: Raising this from 1 to 4 star after speaking with the owner. It seems this was an outlier situation and they were very kind and receptive.

We came in at 8:20 PM (place closes at 9). The woman behind the counter seemed very detached and exhausted so I tried to be sympathetic. My burrito was a magnificent slop, not rolled properly at all. The soda fountain was out of CO2, so all the soda was flat - I made a comment but the employee didn't care even though she had charged me for the drink. The food wasn't bad but nothing remarkable or exciting.“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“We ordered food on a Saturday evening and within ten minutes the food was ready. Got home and everything was so good. Quesadillas, burrito bowl, birria tacos and street corn. Our two year old ate so much of it. Prices weren't terrible. We would definitely go back.“

“Phenomenal Tacos! I bet everything else is equally delicious but I love these tacos!!“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“My coworkers and I ordered from this establishment for lunch and I asked them to rush it a bit because of our lunch time and they brought it right on time!!!! The person on the phone was sooo nice and underrated AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZINGG all expectations were met. They accomodated to all of our needs with specific food instructions really yummy and nice!“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“We're never unhappy with our meals from Qdoba! Always fresh and filling!“

“Good tacos good flavor , deliciosos 😋“

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“Me and a few of my coworkers went here tonight for the first time and they had Taco Tuesday and we all ordered Tacos and not only were they delicious they were full of well seasoned meat. The service was fast and friendly especially for how busy they were. We already decided we will be back again. Definitely the best Tacos I've had in Amboy and by far“

“My sister told me about her local go-to for tacos. I tried the 3 tacos de birria. It was absolutely delicious. Sizeable portion (I was full with 2) and it came with a consome that you could dip the tacos.

Also, the owner is so kind. She wrote a get well note for my mom on her order. I had mentioned that had been sick.

Before leaving the area, I am heading back for another order. Definitely recommend.“

“Great experience. Tried to place my order, but was basically told what to get. I wanted an empinada one way, the lady told me the right way. Empinada was great. Burrito was HUGE and tasty, two meals. Highly recommend!“

“Had a great time here . Food was very good. Enjoyed the atmosphere and comfort.,waiters were pleasant and friendly and quick.“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“I love this place! So clean inside, cozy atmosphere , such a delicious food! Love tacos 🌮 ❤️! I will come again and again to try more food 👌 Thank you , guys for everything you doing!“

“I read through some of the comments and they were about MY grandma, the owner of the restaurant. Someone said that she was a he. And another said she was from somewhere she was not from! She is from MEXICO. People just make me mad sometimes when do stuff like that. If you do not know the gender of someone you don't even know just say 'they' that easy. But after all great food.“

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!“

“Los morcajetes los sopes la barbacoa todo es muy delicioso 😋“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“I love this place. Hand made tortillas are really tasty. There isn’t any other lace like this in miles! A local gem! Me gusta mucho y lo recomiendo por encima de los otros que hay alrededor“

“First time there today , the service is excellent , food was fresh and yummy, love the location and the seating , all tables no booths very roomy , friendly staff , we will be back!“

“Been telling myself forever to try this place and finally stopped in. Staff was incredibly friendly! The Gorditas were phenomenal and I had the absolute spiciest burrito I’ve ever had in my life that I just could not stop eating! Can’t wait to go back, 6/5 stars!“

“This is authentic Mexican food, very similar to the style in Mexico City, Mexico. I have really enjoyed all the foods I have ordered from here such as their soups, nachos, guacamole, tacos, quesadillas, burritos and signature kitchen dishes. They also offer a green and a red sauce that is spicy, but only elevates the flavor. I also appreciate the fresh limes, cilantro and onions they offer as well. I do like the langua burrito, which is served with rice and beans. Their tripa quesadillas and tacos are also delicious. You can find authentic beverages imported from Mexico in their drink fridge near the checkout counter too.“

“Food was very tastefully Nice portion“

“My husband and I dined there for the first time last night with my parents for my birthday. The decor is stunning. The host staff was so friendly, wished me a happy birthday upon checking in. Alyssa made it a point to introduce herself and even gave me a handwritten Happy Birthday card. Our waitress Amber was awesome, very attentive, friendly and kind enough to bring me over a cool birthday candle so I could make a birthday wish. The food & drinks were delicious, my skirt steak melted in my mouth & was perfectly seasoned, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his NY strip and my parents enjoyed the porterhouse for two. We will definitely be back!“

“Excelente lugar familiar. Disfrútalo“

“Delicious food coupled with an enjoyable atmosphere! The staff is both pleasant and attentive! It has become a favorite of ours! 👍“

“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The food is delicious and very authentic. The ambiance and decorations make you feel like you are visiting Mexico. The staff are super friendly too. Overall a great experience.

Parking: When I come at off hours (11:00-3:00 PM) it's easy to find parking on the street. Probably not that easy during the evening rush.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a door right off the street. There should be no problems.“

“Flavorful birria tacos and consome. Loaded burrito was tasty as well. We also got the horchata and Mexican street corn that was generously covered in cheese. Overall, they use appropriate amount of seasonings that enhanced the flavors in each item including the horchata. The consome was not thick or oily.“

“100 % very good service and food we will back again.“

“It's a nice and authentic restaurant, the food was very delicious, it was a shame that they didn't have soap in restroom, and all the taco sauces were spicy , we wish there was at least one non-spicy sauce, the prices were very good, I recommend “
