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 🤤“

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

“I've been to Edison Tex Mex Deli several times, and it's always a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, the prices are hard to beat, and they have plenty of great vegetarian options.

My go-to order is the Tex Mex Veggie Fries—they're absolutely loaded with flavor and more than enough to satisfy a craving. I also love the tacos, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The portions are huge for the price, so you definitely get great value.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the decor strikes the perfect balance between elevated and relaxed. It's a comfortable spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or staying to enjoy your meal. Highly recommend!“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

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

“We received an advertisement with a coupon in the mail today and this place looked right up my alley. Having grown up in California, I am always on the hunt for really good Mexican food. I ordered dinner for my wife and I and it was great. The carnitas were excellent and the guacamole was great. The only thing I wish they had on their menu was Chile Verde as I can’t seem to find it on the East Coast. I will definitely be back soon as their takeout was hot and fresh. I’m glad to have found this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“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!“

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

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

“Good tacos good flavor , deliciosos 😋“

“shoutout to my girl lesly!!! i walked in for the first time not knowing what to expect from this place and she made it feel so welcoming and warm. miss chatterbox in the best way, it felt like i was visiting a long time friend. the food was absolutely delicious too. make the visit if you’re in the area, i know i’m going to come again while i’m on a work trip!!! <3“

“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!“

“So I found this restaurant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and wanted to try their $1 tacos and empanadas Tuesday special I payed $8 in total but they missed a taco which is ok because I understand the are busy! Overall the empanadas were good the tacos were underwhelming with flavor (all the flavors) but service was fast and good, and it’s a $1.00 but I’ve had better flavorful tacos for a $1.00 somewhere else, but it’s ok 👍🏽“

“Upon answering I was greeted and seated. The appetizers which were the nacho chips tasted freshly made and the chicken and steak tacos were delicious. I also had the Elote corn which was so good comes with three.. and I love the piña colada but I had it without alcohol.. they do have an open bar. Def would go back.“

“Excellent Mexican Food! Our family throughly enjoyed their food! We loved it and will definitely go back again.“

“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“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“Great food. Cant wait to go back and try something new.“

“Seriously, some of the best tacos I've ever had! The taste was incredible. I got the Carne Enchilada, Ground Beef, and Azteca tacos. All three were super tasty, but that Carne Enchilada really stood out – so spicy, tangy, and just plain delicious. And those sauces and limes they gave me? They just made perfection even better. Plus, it was only $4.50 in NYC, can you believe it? What more could you want? They even make the tortillas right in front of you with fresh dough, not like those frozen excuses for tacos you get at Taco Bell or other chains. This is authentic Mexican food at a fraction of the price. The staff was really polite and nice too. This place seriously deserves way more publicity, 10 out of 10!“

“Everything I've ordered has been 10/10
Although i was a bit disappointed at their boom boom shrimp taco,it literally had 3 baby shrimps and rest was lettuce and sauce.
So over all Everything other than that taste amazing 👏 🤩 10/10“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“My experience was 1000/10! Absolutely loved the ambiance, food options & cocktails! Of course, i owe my experience to our amazing server, Bella! She took the time to explain all different cocktails, specials & main plates! She spoke with so much knowledge & confidence, you can trust her with any recommendation! When I return, I am requesting Bella & if you wanna have the same experience, I recommend you do too!

My girls and I had an amazing time at this place. Most of us had steak, 10/10. If you love Espresso Martini’s, i highly recommend the Frozen Espresso Martini with sweet foam on top. Music is not too loud by the seating area which was great! Place is super aesthetic for pictures as well.

10/10 !“

“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!“

“This meal was absolutely outstanding. The chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy, the bread was fresh, and every bite tasted homemade with real care. The restaurant delivered perfect quality across the board, from the flavorful food to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“I went here and ordered some gabagool and it was a life-changing experience. The second I bit into the food my mouth watered, my eyes opened, and my arms went up into the air, finally I had found the equivalent of gold. Esburritios should be called best burritos, my friend Tim polar said he came all the way from Oregon just to try the famous mint burrito.“

“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!!!…….“

“Excellent service! Staff was very attentive, our server, Alessandra was amazing!She was so personable and knowledgeable about meals. Food had huge portions and absolutely delicious. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers to the meal.“

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

“Excelente lugar familiar. Disfrútalo“

“Really good birria taco spot! The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. We Loved the corn. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, and the lady who took our order was very friendly. She even brought the food out to us which I appreciated. Overall a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“Lo recomiendo la comida muy buena y los precios muy cómodo el dueños y el personal muy amable“

“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.“

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