It’s a hidden gem that you’d probably pass right by, but I urge you to go in and give it a go! Been coming here for years. Their food is just so good as is their salsa/pico. I could make a meal of their salsa. It’s a local favorite and worth the stop.

Would have loved to dine in but was on my way home, only Spanish restaurant open late. Food was amazing and well packed in the giant paper bag, the fajitas were insane , flavourful, juicy even after a 30 min car ride home. And the portions they give you are ridiculous... the churros were just like a Mexican street venue.. ? kids killed them. Look forward to actually dining in on my next visit

Parking: When you pull in beware of the curbs with a low riding card

Kid-friendliness:...

This is probably the best tasting Mexican food in Ocean County, and I've tried plenty. It's a small family owned restaurant with great service and a cozy atmosphere. I cannot recommend their food enough, the flavor is difficult to beat, and the competition in the area is mediocre at best. The menu offers a wide variety to choose from.
