Celebrated Cinco de Mayo here & the line to get in was enormous but drinking while you wait outside is the norm so waiting wasn't a huge deal, it was actually fun. My party of 10 was seated in the backyard of the restaurant where there was Cinco de Mayo entertainment. The dancers & entertainers were amazing! They interacted with the patrons & gave us a good laugh. The food was great. My party of 10 all ordered different things: I ordered the tacos carnitas, my husband ordered the chimichanga, my daughter ordered the birria tacos, someone else ordered tacos dorados & I can't remember the rest. Everyone raved about the dishes. We also ordered both desserts: flan & tres leches cake. Both were unbelievable! So good. We took all leftovers home & I had it with coffee for breakfast. Overall my party was so happy to celebrate the holiday here. We had a great time. Staff was amazing & so was the food. It's BYOB so bring the beers wine & other favorites. The staff are happy to make margaritas & other goodies with whatever you bring with you. :)

i have never been so impressed by a birria taco in the jersey shore before. the service was quick and the music was the perfect little jig to eat my food to. $35 for chips, tacos, and a quesadilla??? say less have my children.

Complementary chips and salsa

Best place for an excellent Mexican meal! Super authentic and the atmosphere is amazing as well as the friendly service. They have outdoor seating in the front or back of the restaurant. It's BYOB and you can even bring your own tequila and they have margarita mix. Must order the birra tacos and guacamole! Also get a churro for dessert!

Always yummy... check it out.. nothing fancy but it def hits the spot every time mmmmmmmmread more

BRADLEY BEACH: I love that being part of the Yelp Elite squad introduces me to new places and…read moreexperiences and that a lot of them are dog friendly! The Elite Experience at Fins Bradley Beach was no different and enjoying a complimentary pumpkin pie smoothie was the best way to spend a late October day at the beach. The smoothie was a perfect blend of pumpkin flavor and I ordered mine with coconut milk, since I need to be dairy free. I love that they have that as an option. Even with coconut milk, the smoothie was SO CREAMY and really hit my thirsty mouth and hungry tummy spot. We'll be on the lookout for other seasonal flavors and will enjoy their classics. Everything is made fresh so they can be very accommodating on any modifications to your order. I am a very picky eater and a self-confessed worst vegan because I dislike many main vegan veggie fillers. Fins' veggie option is not pre-mixed, so if you do not like something, they can easily omit it from your order. It was so easy! The staff is extremely friendly and I was able to order inside with my dog and then enjoy the pumpkin pie smoothie and mexicali burrito at their outdoor tables, where leashed and friendly dogs are allowed. The storefront is right on Main Street and Brie said hello to every passerby in the area, but it can be a bit noisy due to traffic! We appreciate the staff bringing out a cup of water for her too! The restaurant has a great atmosphere with bright colors, island-style music, and they serve up surf-inspired food in a casual environment, all while being wallet-friendly. Burritos, tacos, salads, wraps, a special gluten-free menu, smoothies, and they even offer catering! They use the freshest and finest ingredients and care about the planet with biodegradable products, and also care about the community through donations. During the 30 minutes spending time here, the amount of customers walking-in blew my mind. This place is popular and for good reason! We plan to visit their other locations in Point Pleasant and Sea Girt.
