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 🤤“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“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!“

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

“Absolutely love this spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything tasted authentic and well seasoned, with generous portions and great value. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service made the whole experience even better. This is the kind of local spot you’re happy to discover and immediately want to come back to. I always stop by when im in NJ!“

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

“Overall a good experience. I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and we both really enjoyed the atmosphere. They gave her a cute birthday card. The waitress was very attentive, and came back multiple times to make sure everything was going well. The food was good, but my drinks were not. I ordered 2 rum and cokes. The first one tasted like it barely had any rum in it so I got a double and it tasted the same.“

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

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

“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 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“Birria Tacos were amazing and so well seasoned.“

“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!“

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

“Such a great spot for tacos, and I had the best server! I tried the beef birria tacos, pescado tacos, chicken tacos, and beef nacho fries, and everything was packed with flavor.

The birria tacos tasted so good! The beef was tender, flavorful. My pescado tacos were fresh and flavorful, & the chicken tacos were juicy and well-seasoned. The beef nacho fries were also a must-try, with generous toppings and plenty of flavor in every bite. Also the restaurant is family friendly I had an infant with me and my friends, they were super accommodating to us and made us feel so welcomed!!“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“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 👍🏽“

“👎👍👍👍👎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“I had such an amazing time here. The atmosphere was super welcoming, and the food was honestly some of the best I have had in a long time. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like it was made with real care. I will definitely be coming back here soon to try more of the menu because everything sounded so good.“

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

“Finally, some authentic Mexican food on the south shore. Ordered on Grubhub - the driver bailed and the restaurant called me telling me about it. I took a ride over there to pick up the food. They were so apologetic, even though the driver leaving was not their fault. The food was delicious - spicy, fresh, and the portions were great. Will definitely be ordering from them 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“

“What a great place!!! Delicious food, wonderful & friendly staff as well as a clean environment. I eat here often to try everything on the menu! I like how you order through a screen which makes everything super easy and efficient. Wish I took pictures of my food but I was too quick to eat it hahaha best guac in town!“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“Shout out to (Melissa)I came in for a Pineapple Express burrito and Melissa had served me and made sure I had one of the best experiences I’ve had she is very nice and made sure my burrito was really fresh and this location is very clean and highly recommend“

“A beautiful, elevated setup for a thali spot—definitely a much-needed addition compared to other Gujarati thali places in NJ. The food tasted amazing, and the service was top-notch with prompt refills throughout the meal. I especially appreciated how kid-friendly they are; they didn't force a full thali on our child, which prevented unnecessary food waste. A fantastic experience overall!“

“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!“

“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!!!…….“

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

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“
