The food was just a little better than Taco Bell but a whole more expensive. I ordered a pick up and when I got there and waited 25 minutes I was told everything was ready except a burrito, turns out they gave it to another customer and had me wait while they got that one back. Of course I didn't know this until the guy came back and the girl behind the counter took it out of his bag and put it mine. Needless to say I told them they should have made me a new one. But they didn't so I left with nothing and picked ups pizza. Ambiance, if you like loud dining then you'll love this place. No I wouldn't be eating from this place again. read more

A friend suggested we go to this place and wasn't disappointed. We started with yucca fries which were the greatest and I've had a few of these from other places but these rocked! And the main was chicken fajitas. They were also kickin. Wait staff was great and prices were reasonable. I have menu pics for your convenience. Would definitely come back when I'm in town. read more

I've been passing this restaurant on Route 34 for over a month and this was the first time I gave it a shot. It's really nice to have a Mexican restaurant in the area! I so wanted to give the restaurant 4 stars but just couldn't as I will explain. Louis was our sever and he did an amazing job! He was helpful and very attentive on a busy Friday night. My husband and I both ordered the Fajitas Vallarta and substituted the chicken for steak. The fajitas were really good and I even wound up taking a portion home! This dish comes with the typical peppers and onions, cheese, and also chorizo which gives it a nice kick. My main reason for not giving a 4 star is the restaurant's ventilation. The whole place was cloudy from all the fajita smoke. It remained that way the whole time we were there and kept getting worse. Now that it's the next day, I really feel it in my lungs. I suggest you get a professional in there to fix this. I really would love to go back...and update my review. read more

First time here. Food was good. Both entrees were seafood combo. Enchiladas and chimichanga. Pleasantly pleased they used real crab in the seafood filling. Service was efficient and pleasant. Atmosphere was ok. We do want to come back and try more dishes. Salsa on the table with chips was just a bit spicy for a shareable dish. Just a tad. Excellent yucca fries read more

Went here for my fourth visit, while the first two were very good although service was slow the third visit was ok not great but our fourth visit was terrible, had the fajita for two it came with only 3 tortillas really? For two people, I requested more tortillas which they brought over and charged me for them, $0.50 each, overall the food was far from great and the service was awful. I will not be back read more

Good service, food and extremely helpful with seating. Very reasonably priced. You can customize items on the menu quite a bit. read more

I've been here 4 times since moving to the area and have not had something i would not recommend. You can't go wrong with burritos or quesadillas here!! read more

The food is very good but, you must eat it at the restaurant. Take out diminishes the texture and overall experience. Service is very good. Ambiance is lively. read more

Excellent food excellent service very polite family ran business! My family and I always have an enjoyable light hearted experience when we go here definitely a staple in the rotation I am glad to see they have become busier and busier over the years as they work hard and it is family run! read more

Little pricey but the chicken and steak chimichangers are worth every penny. Could use a bit of sauce to em but still delicious

Food was good, nachos were on point, enchiladas were flavorful. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall I will 100% be returning

Amazing Mexican food, quick service and lots of indoor seating. Was pretty loud inside, music could've been quieter so we could talk without feeling like we were trying to speak over the music, but food was so delicious we didn't have much conversation by the time it came out. Found this place randomly on the way back from the beach, so glad we stopped in for dinner, was busy & packed on Saturday night but didn't too long of a wait to get seated. Would definitely try again when in the area! read more

Excellent service and plenty of good food. Never disappointed. I eat there regularly.

The portion is good amount and filling. My favorite is is home made guacamole dip and main dish I like is chicken enchilada with green sauce or steak burrito read more

I love this restaurant! The carne burrito is wonderful. The pork is so tender and the citrus marinade is perfect. The refried beans are are creamy and delicious and the rice is the perfect compliment. My boyfriend loves the Pollo Ranchero. We can't seem to order anything thing else because we are in love with our current entrees lol. The decor is fabulous Mexican, straight out of Guadalajara. The portions are generous, service is great. BYOB ENJOY!!!! read more

The food is excellent. Very fresh! You can tell they take pride in their food. I got the steak tacos and they were perfect. My kids love the quesadillas and French fries. My husband says he's never had anything bad. We also love the chicken nachos. Full disclosure: I used to wait tables here, but not since COVID shut everything down in March 2020. We still love to eat here! read more

I really enjoyed this place for dinner! I got a burrito and it was huge! Filled nicely and came with delicious rice. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. This place takes reservations and is BYOB. I will be coming back! read more

If I could give them more than 5 stars- I would. Everything here is great. Great food, people and service. Our family's favorite is the seafood chimichangas. read more

Good experience! We didn't realize it was BYO but luckily there is a liquor store next door. Both of our meals were good and the interior was very cute. Adding an update as we ordered to-go a few times over quarantine & the food was amazing! Packaging was great & enough for 2 meals. We recommend the chimichangas & burritos. read more

This place had great food, great atmosphere, it's byob. The food is fairly priced and everything always taste fresh. Very slow service

This is a takeout review - We have ordered dinner and catered from here and loved both! Food is always fresh and well prepared and is distinct from other Mexican places. Their black beans are great and we also love the chicken fajitas. read more

Went here for dinner, the staff was very friendly. I ordered tostadas and was expecting three of them to come out but it was something completely different which was fine. It was a big circular crunchy disc with chicken, lettuce tomatoes sour cream onions and cheese on top. I thought it would be shredded chicken but it was just regular grilled chicken. Staff was very attentive. My plate didn't come with rice and beans so I had to order a side of those and the rice and beans were good as well. read more

So glad I stopped in with friends. The place looks amazing and the food was definitely worth the drive for me. Best Mexican food I've had in years. The tres leches cake I had for dessert was so light and delicious. I will absolutely come back for more!!! read more

Absolutely delicious food. Something as simple as a quesadilla was amazing from the cheese blend to the handmade tortilla. Definitely a hidden gem!! read more

This food is so darn good. I only order takeout. Never sat and ate there. Chicken tacos, steak fajita! Steak/chicken chimichanga, combo fajita all delicious. Great char flavor on the meat. I have never been disappointed. Seafood quesadillas was great too! I read more

*** this is a take out review. Not a dine in. Ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was very good. I would love to eat out there if I'm around. The time was around lunch hours. So it's was perfect for a take out order. I told the staff it was my first time there. They were polite and when I asked if the quesadillas were ordered often. Now I know why! Glad to have this place. read more

So my wife had Carne Asada and I had marinated grilled skirt steak. Both steaks were "tender like a babies foot". No steak sauce was needed as both were "bathing" in their own juices. For desert we shared Homemade flan. So sweet and delicious. They have a help wanted sign hanging on the door so service was somewhat slow. We will be back however. read more

Attended a family get together here. Great food. Good time. Great service. Pleasant atmosphere.

Definitely come here hungry because the portions are huge. Even the kids meal was larger than expected. There was a good number of selections...I settled for the steak enchiladas...not bad at all. To cap it off, we did try three desserts: Cheesesteak Burritos a la mode, Flaming Bananas and the Churros. All three were delicious. Please note that this is also a BYOB. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try out more dishes. read more

So happy to update my review! We returned to this restaurant 2 years later. Tables were spaced out nicely to maintain social distancing. The service was fabulous. We had Julia as our server and she was amazing! We were pleasantly surprised to see that the ventilation system was fixed. It was no longer stinky and Smokey in there from fajitas. Also... they got new salsa!!! It was great!! Not like the ketchup salsa they had when they first opened. Our meals were fabulous and there was plenty for our young kids to choose from and they even offer milkshakes. Overall we had a great experience. Great job working out the kinks Mexitacos!! We will be back! read more

I've gone to a few of the mexican restaurants around the area, and this one is for sure my favorite. I ordered some pork tostadas, and a mix of 3 tacos. While we weren't a fan of the salmon tacos, the carnitas were delicious! The salsa verde is so good, perfect consistency and flavor. The prices are moderate, but I know for a fact i will be back! read more

Sorry again for a late review. I thought I reviewed this place before but I guess not. On December 5th, my wife and I had a hankering for Mexican and this is our new favorite place. It's located very close to home so we don't have to travel to Red Bank for good Mexican. Very authentic. They're servers are always friendly and provide excellent service. My wife had the steak chimichanga and she love it. She normally doesn't order this kind of dish. I'm glad she did because I ate the leftovers the next day. I had the burrito Martinero, a seafood burrito grilled and stuffed with fresh scallops, shrimp, etc. and so cheesy. Absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back. Maybe this Saturday! Also they are following all Covid-19 protocols, tables are like 12 feet apart. Give this place a shot you won't be disappointed. read more

Stop! You've reached your final destination. No need to continue checking out other Mexican restaurants in the area, you've found the perfect one. Huge portions, crazy good quality and so tasty, well priced. We had a relatively big takeout order, everything was perfect and the staff was patient and kind when I asked (probably too many questions) during a busy time of the evening. Love this place! Get any of the chicken dishes, you won't be disappointed or one of the massive burritos. Love the menu selection, I've already decided that I'm getting a chimichanga next time! If you try it first, let me know how it goes! read more

excellent chicken tacos and salsa verde i haven't tried anything else. always do take out for lunch has a nice decor

It was worth the visit. Enjoyed the shrimp vegetable soup and had the red snapper for the main course. The snapper was very well cooked and one could taste the marination from deep within. Good friendly service. The ambiance is pretty decent for family get togethers. Will certainly revisit. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere plus they will modify dishes to your liking. I wanted a burrito with rice & guacamole inside and they were more than happy to do it. Chips are great but if cilantro isn't your thing beware of the salsa because it's loaded. Definitely recommend. read more

First off let me start off and say that the food here is exceptional. We have been here many times and the food is always good. The one star is for the service. It is downright awful. 5 of us went tonight for dinner. We stood in the doorway for 10 minutes until i had to go up to someone and ask to be seated. We waited another 10 minutes for the table. I finally had to go to the front and ask for a waiter to take our order. The waiter came eight after and had a very bad attitude. He told us it was really busy and that we had to wait. As he took our order his attitude got worse and worse, like we were bothering him. That was all we could take. We got up mid-order and left. Come here for the good food, but you will get bad service. read more

I would give it a 3.5 if I could. Good food. I usually get the chorizo tacos and add pineapple. They never give me a problem about modifying anything. You get chips and salsa right away, the waiter who we have had every time is very nice and friendly. I'm surprised you don't get any beans or rice with the tacos, but you can order on the side. Last time we went my friend ordered the Chicken Pablano and that was delicious, just from the bite I had, I would recommend. Also it is BYOB read more

Best authentic Mexican restaurant we have been to in years! My family and I love to dine here and drive quite a distance because it's definitely worth it!! We have tried many in our nearby areas, but none can compare to Mexitacos! Amazing waitstaff, food, service and ambiance! They always go above and beyond to accommodate their customers! Great for dining in or take out! Definitely a great place for family dinners!! Thank you for such great food and service!! Great job!! read more

I ordered a burrito felt like I ate a hamburger. Meat n cheese no rice, beans in the burrito
