The kid was craving Mexican food so we searched Yelp and found that this place has good reviews…read more The photos of the food looked good. We decided to try it. There is no parking lot for this place. There is a Municipal parking lot about one block over behind the post office. We lucked out as there was street parking directly in front of the restaurant. We ordered agua de Jamaica. Huge glass for $4.95. I would guess that it's 16-20 ounces. Gigantic. Well priced. We ordered guacamole which was good too. They didn't give us any salsa for the table like they do at other Mexican joints. For our mains, we ordered their mixed fajitas with shrimp chicken and beef. It was about $21 and it was a huge dish. It's not the usually fajitas that I've had at other places. Theirs comes in a delicious sauce which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a generous portion and the flavors were on point. We recommend it. Our other dish was the El Rinconcito which came with grilled items: pork cutlets, beef, chicken, shrimps cactus, Spanish cheese rice and beans. It was an alright eight. We prefer the saucy fajita dish more. We def plan to go back. Next time, we are going to order their molcajete which is listed at $34.95 so I assume it'll be a huge dish for two based on the price. From the owners description, it Comes with all kinds of meats steak chicken shrimp pork sausage. I'm trying my best not to go back two days in a row but I may swing by for Lunch later. Good is good as is service. Good came out quick and she asked a few times whether we needed anything else. I believe they give some sort of cash discount or charge to use credit card because she asked how I was paying. They add an auto tip of 15% which I didn't mind. Gave her a few bucks more. All in all, it was a good meal. Appears to be a small mom and pop store and I'm happy to support local small business. It helps that the food is delicious too.

I love tacos, especially when they are authentic. Red Bank has no shortage of Mexican restaurants…read moreso I went on a mission to find lengua (beef tongue), which can be hard to come by. Thankfully North of the Border came through. I like to try a variety of tacos but unfortunately NOTB, like many others, does not let you mix and match. Therefore, I chose an order of 3 lengua and 3 chorizo tacos. I also ordered a bottle of coke to go. I had to do a double take of the receipt as my total was pushing $30. I asked the woman at the counter to break down the prices and confirmed that the lengua tacos were $13 and chorizo were $9. This threw me off as an older picture of the menu shows all tacos priced at $7. I really enjoyed these tacos. They were super authentic and full of flavor. I may order again but will be shopping around first to find tacos that are more reasonably priced.

Update 2: In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we got - Chorizo…read moreCemita, Chorizo tacos, rice and beans, sautéed onions and peppers (new find, highly recommend), and something I thought I wouldn't enjoy much but ended up having most, Chicken Enchilada in salsa verde sauce. Communication can sometime be a little difficult, but the food more than makes up for it. Update 1: 5 stars again, got delivery via the restaurant a few days back. The arabes had great flavor, and lasted for days. Chorizo tacos were obviously the favorite, as expected. Also, was blown away by how filling and delicious the Cemita was. Support local businesses, if you can, please! I was starving after my massage and ordered tacos to go - two tacos with chorizo, potatoes, onions and one with chicken, smoked chipotle. Literally sped home to eat them (I had one in the car right away. Don't regret it) Amazing, amazing tacos. The chorizo tacos said onions (cebolla) but they were long stemmed bulbs - not sure if they're called something else but I loved them (please let me know if anybody knows what they're called. Check photIt came with lime, radish and green salsa (not sure). Red Bank has awesome options if you don't care about these places being small, cramped and not upscale. Top quality authentic Mexican food. I'm going to go back soon to try more of their menu.

Amazing authentic Mexican tacos can be found here with an English speaking cashier and menu - it's…read morea "must try" spot!! This is one of those gems that only the locals usually know about. But it has grown in popularity and a favorite spot for NJ's Mexican population who travel here from all over the state for their tacos that remind them of home! You can watch the cooks shear the meat right before your eyes and load the meat into mini soft tortillas with onions and cilantro (and cheese if you ask for it). They stuff so much meat in these tacos that you can split each taco into two smaller tacos since they use 2 tortillas with each taco. Great for kids! You get 4 or 5 tacos per order which is less than $10. Incredible deal!! On your way out the English speaking cashier will take you to the refrigerator to pick out some sauce cups for you to take home. There are so many sauces to choose from. The orange one is really hot!!! You can ask her for help she choose a variety for me including mild. I would suggest getting between 1.5-2 sauce cups for EACH taco order. The dark red chipotle sauce was excellent too! I would suggest getting your tacos with cheese except the pork shoulder taco which comes with pineapple. I really enjoyed the tacos with steak or ribs the most. The chicken was great too! Highly recommend to try the food here. NOTE: This is NOT a restaurant. Yes there are a few casual tables here but seating but no waiters etc.

Fuse Eatery is one of those places you drive past 100 times, and then on the 101st time you finally…read morestop in... and immediately regret the other 100 times you didn't. The empanadas here are seriously awesome. My two favorites are the Hawaiian and the Buffalo Chicken. The Hawaiian is the perfect sweet-and-savory mix, done to perfection. Every bite has that balance where neither the sweet nor savory overpowers the other. And the Buffalo Chicken? That sauce is easily one of the best buffalo sauces I've had. Great flavor, the right amount of heat, and absolutely packed into a crispy empanada. Definitely don't make the same mistake I did and keep driving past this place. Stop in -- especially for the Hawaiian and Buffalo Chicken!

I was expecting to taste some garlic, onions, sofrito or recaito and maybe other seasoning. It was just meat and salt. I will give them another try but get a different empanada.

The food is amazing! Freshly made, with solid authenticity and flavors…read more The service could be better, staff may be short of staff since you may not even think anyone works there. The staff works in the kitchen and occasionally is seen near the counter. You may have to walk up if something is needed. There are booth style tables and high top with chairs to choose from. You could BYOS (bring your own supplies) (napkins/toilet paper/hand-soap). The bathroom isn't the most clean, it's for customers only and only one person at a time. The hand soap dries out your hands. Toilet paper is small and thin. Again the food is amazing.

You can tell this place is serving really good tacos just judging by the photos. We decided to give…read moreit a shot. It exceeded our expectations and ended up being my favorite tacos of all time. You have to order the quesabirria, it's tender beef tacos melted with cheese inside a pan-fried corn tortilla that you dip in broth. It's simply the best. Not the best start: there was no hostess at the front, so 3 parties stood there for 3-5 minutes even though there were multiple tables open. Once we were seated it was all good. We sat outside, ambiance was lovely with colorful flags and picnic tables and lively Mexican music in the background. Our server was flying around as the joint was understaffed, but it didn't even matter in the end because she handled it with grace and the food was phenomenal. Every server was so gracious. The kind staff and wonderful food and atmosphere made up for the minor delays in service. Overall it was a really lovely evening!

I did have a bunch of their sauces and salsas. None really stood out except their green sauce, which was used sporadically. Birria Tacos - These were very good. The consommé was flavorful, while the beef was tender. The tortilla was crisp too even with the consommé added. Elote Corn - This was rather plain. There was only a crema and cotija cheese present. It seemed like chili powder was supposed to be added, but I did not taste or see any. The corn could have been cooked a little better too. Guacamole - This was tasty. It appeared fresh and paired well with the chips given. I really liked the texture of it too. Chicken Flautas - These were deep fried tortillas with chicken, sour cream, lettuce, and cotija cheese I believe. These were solid. The chicken could have been seasoned a little more, but the tortillas were crisp and held up. Choriqueso Con Tortillas Tostadas - This was melted jack and Oaxacan cheese topped with Mexican chorizo over toasted nixtamal homemade corn tortillas. The cheese and chorizo was excellent, with lots of flavor. It did not look the best but tasted good. The corn tortilla was either old and stale or just fried way too long as it was very tough to chew. It could have made for a great bite. Will I go back? Debatable.

Our waiter this time around was very friendly and patient with us. I got my usual when I go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant - tamale and enchiladas. The tamale was steaming when it came out and the mole had a distinct spice flavor to it. The enchiladas were eh in my opinion. The rice was over cooked and the verde sauce didn't seem homemade like the verde they served with the chips. The cheese empanada and chorizo tacos were good. The Molcajete they serve here though is one of the best in the area. We also got a burrito to go when we ordered and it was ready by the time we signed the check.
