50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Tinton Falls

“Place is authentic and phenomenal food. Sometimes it’s a wait for your food, sometimes there’s no walkins available, that happens at great restaurants. Food is phenomenal, get the chimichanga….. whoever said should come with a disclaimer about no walkins- gtfo. It’s a small popular restaurant, want do you expect? The red carpet? Pure entitlement.“

“we got two entrees and an app. the chips were forgotten and there was a wait but very understandable with being grand opening around dinner time hours. birria was phenomenal IMO. Queso was very smooth with a nice spice . the pineapple salsa was very tasty. a lot of promise with this company . would def order again“

“I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food. And my Spouse is from Mexico.

We ate here today, Monday, 10/14/24, around 4:00 p.m., it was our first visit.
The food was awesome!
We each had Enchiladas De Mole Oaxaqueño con Pollo ( Chicken ) comes with rice and beans on the side.
The chicken was tender,the Mexican rice was fresh and excellent, the beans were good. The side of Salsa Picante ordered specially, was great on the rice. The most delicious item was the Mole Oaxaquena; dark, rich, and with some spice!!! Also had a side of Guacamole that was fresh and very good! Orchata was good.
The tortillas are handmade! Prices were very fair and the place is BYOB. I would recommend this establishment for an authentic Mexican meal!!! Most Especially…..the Mole Oaxaquena!!!
Atmosphere and Decor was okay. The servers were friendly and efficient!
As with most places, bathroom could have been a little cleaner.“

“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.“

“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.

“I just came from this new establishment in town. It is at the old Marisco Marlin location. The food was excellent. Everything was made fresh. The service was excellent. You know me, the restaurant has to be clean. The restaurant was spotless. Beautiful location at The Galleria. Parking is free at The Galleria. I will definitely return.“

“Spotted this place on the way back from the beach and decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did! This cozy restaurant has an inviting atmosphere and we were attended to immediately.

I got the shrimp burrito with refried beans, yellow rice, and a super flavorful salad that the chef said was made with raspberry juice, balsamic vinaigrette, and olive oil...and let me just say, that salad was amazing. ? I was expecting your average, run-of-the-mill salad and was totally surprised. 5 stars for that salad! The rice and beans were good too, but the shrimp burrito was the weak link. It wasn't bad but I didn't really taste the shrimp much, it seemed to have gotten overpowered by everything else in it.

The chef was a wonderful person and our servers were prompt and polite. Would definitely go back!

P.S. Get the tamarind Jarritos, it's sooo good haha“

“This place is amazing. They have a sandwich called Milanesa De Pollo. Words can not describe the perfectness of this sandwich. It is the chicken sandwiches of all chicken sandwiches. It's really a beautiful sandwich. That's all I can say for now.“

“The food is always delicious!!!“

“Great customer service, friendly staff ??. Food is good too“

“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.“

“If you want real authentic Mexican food that tastes nothing short from delicious then come here. The service was amazing, food was quick and delicious, the restaurant looked clean and pretty, overall an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend everyone to come here.“

“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.“

“A delightful Mexican restaurant with authentic and delicious Mexican recipes. Worth visiting from far away. An amazing experience for the senses and also with an amazing array of tequilas and delicious exotic drinks.“

“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!“

“I’ve been going to Tropico for many years, and it has always been an incredible experience. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions, great flavor, and fair prices. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into their dishes, making it feel like a home cooked meal every time. I have been to other authentic Mexican restaurants closer to my home, but none quite compare to Tropico. I will certainly make the drive here for their top tier quality. Thank you Tropico for many years of great food and service! This restaurant is truly valued in the community.“

“I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food.

We ate here Sunday, 10/06 just before the finale of the N.J. Hispanic Film Fest conclusion at the The Vogel Theater.
The place is small, tight, but the food is good!
Food orders were chicken tacos (Tacos de Pollo) and chicken sopes (Sopes de Pollo). Both very good, filled with a lot of seasoned chicken.Tortillas are hand made.Salsa was good, as well as the side of Guacamole; more than enough for two people. Prices were fair. And the place is BYOB. I would recommend this for a quick, reasonably priced, authentic Mexican meal.
Bathroom was updated and fairly clean. Service was good!

This was our second time eating here.“

“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.“

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Server was great and knowledgeable about gluten allergies as well. If you want great Mexican food definitely check this place out.“

“We got Shrimp and Chicken Tacos, Burrrrrrrrrrritos! Nachos and Salsa as well. Loved it all! Cuban here and there ain't enough good food around here that ain't burgers and pizza. Chips are thick and salsa chunky! Not saying it's a bad thing. Will order again TY!“

“Good place, variety in Mexican food, they deliver, located right on the main road, the rib tacos are excellent, the menu is very varied and the prices are totally affordable, there is no parking but you can leave your vehicle in front of this store. The attention of the staff is acceptable.“

“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.“

“Mexican restaurant with an exquisite flavor in every dish you taste, very friendly service in a warm family atmosphere.
