50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Tinton Falls

“Three people for lunch. Each order was more than could be eaten. And was delicious. When asked about a bar the waiter advised there was a liquor store down the strip mall. The liquor store did not sell. Sangria. Was a good experience at a reasonable cost“

“All I can say is that I will be extremely disappointed if they ever get rid of the honey siracha chicken!!! That was the best burrito I EVER had!! I told my husband that we are going there more now!! My mouth was in heaven!! Such a great flavor!! Try it! You will not be disappointed!!“

“My husband and I went to sit down for dinner, per a recommendation from a friend. Valentina was our server and was the perfect amount of attentive. She brought over chips and salsa right away. We ordered the Oaxaca Platter and the Quesabirria to share as our meal, and both were so delicious! The Quesabirria was especially good, we highly recommend you try it (they told us after the fact that it’s their best seller). The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We plan to come back again, and next time we’ll bring our kids!“

“The best authentic food out there! Love every single meal I’ve had so far! Fresh, homemade and tasteful!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I stopped into Qdoba Mexican Eats and was blown away by how fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious everything was. But the real standout? The guacamole — handcrafted by Rose herself. Absolute perfection. Creamy, bright, seasoned just right… honestly some of the best guac I’ve had anywhere.

Rose deserves her own shoutout. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell she puts genuine care into what she does, and it absolutely shows in the food.

The entire restaurant was spotless, the energy was upbeat, and the whole place had this fun, exciting vibe that made the meal even better. Delicious food, amazing service, and a clean, uplifting atmosphere? Qdoba nailed it.

Highly recommend — and make sure you get Rose’s guac! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“I chose delivery for my first time so I’ll reserve my opinion on the atmosphere. This is 5⭐️ authentic Mexican food. I was blown away with the Campechano, Tostadas, and Empanadas for my first choices. And for dessert… omg, their Tres Leche was the best I’ve ever had. I had to call back and thank them- I have a strong feeling their consistency will be top-shelf.

We highly recommend!!! Just wow!!

“Not flashy, simple, deli kind of set up. almost hole in the wall. My first impression was....ummm..naa..but since my wife picked up the place, I kind of kept quiet and was willing to try it. Boy was I wrong!! This place turned out to be AMAZING. Probably one of the best Mexican food we have had. Ask for a burrito with BBQ sauce inside it.“

“We had a little company ordering day today and we decided to order from here. We placed our order online for a pick up and that was super easy to do. Once I got there the staff greeted me immediately and were very pleasant. We had a huge order and I did wait probably 5 min but I got there earlier to make sure I wasn’t late. Once I got to work we all loved our food. Everything was made as ordered and had tons of flavor and spice. We ordered quesadillas and burritos and nachos and drinks and chips and a few other things. But food was amazing and portions were just right. Definitely would order again soon“

“The food is consistent. And DELICIOUS. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants as it’s my favorite. And this is my go to. Slow-er on the service but that’s due to how incredibly busy they are with take out orders alone. It’s family owned and run. They are so nice and I can’t speak enough about how authentic the food is.“

“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.“

“Authentic is the exact word for this place! Not one place comes close to this!“

“Muy Buena comida! Buen Sabor y Sazón. Recomiendo 100%“

My friends and I were just happy to be there and enjoy a great dinner together before heading back to college. I would definitely recommend this place and would 100% go again.“

“wonderful food and awesome portions and service!“

“My only issue was the ordering. First, when I sign into the app it keeps on sending me a link to click to get back into the app, which is annoying. Second, I clicked through online based on a coupon and started ordering, but when I signed in the promo disappeared and I had to keep logging out and in to get it. The app needs to be improved.“

“Juanito's is one of my favorite restaurants when getting Mexican food. Always a good meal. Unfortunately, they add an additional 4% to your bill when paying by credit card. It hurts me to start trying other Mexican restaurants in the area, as there are several, but I will start doing this as I view this fee as an additional tax. I'm taxed enough. Several restaurants in the area started to sneak in these fees. If everyone committed to avoiding these restaurants, you would see the fees go away.“

“Disfrutamos de ricos platillos Mexicanos, Todo estuvo muy delicioso!“
