Got your chicken and cheese quesadilla. It was horrible. They used to make it with real chicken. This time it was tiny cubed chicken that must have been frozen. It was horrible. Used to be my favorite place. No more read more

Queso is towards the top of the chain "make your own burrito" establishments in my book. Their food is a little different than others and I'm a big fan of their queso, go figure. I've gotten food from here a handful of times, including tonight. I always get the "wet" burrito aka one you have to eat with a fork and knife. For the most part service has been good, a little shoddy tonight but it was a little busy so I'll keep the review at 4 stars. I really don't like how they have you order and pay and wait for your food as opposed to going down the cafeteria line setup and pick things out, I always have to ask questions about what stuff is (my girlfriend has a tomato allergy) and it's not easy to do by ordering from a cashier who doesn't make the burrito. I wonder sometimes if the message is truly relayed. The pictures don't really do it justice, it clearly shifted a bit on the ride home but it all tasted just as good. read more

Queso Grill - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Lincroft, New Jersey

I was at a Yelp event in the area and looking for a place to grab a bite to eat on the way home. Queso Grill was about five minutes away and right on our route home! The convenience and location were about the only positives for me. We went here thinking it was a restaurant. When in all actuality it was a Chipotle style Mexican establishment. But, it doesn't hold a candle to Chipotle. I ordered a three taco meal. It came with the choice of soft flour or corn or hard shell corn. I always go with the hard shell corn, but what I got was a hard shell, fried flour tortilla. Similar to taco salad shell or a chimichanga. I didn't like the shell at all. I thought maybe I read the menu wrong and that was what it came with. But, afterwards I double checked and it should have came with hard shell corn. Overall, three wasn't much flavor to the salad or toppings. We also got a Burrito, which was better than the tacos. read more

In a word Awesome. We love everything burrito, buffalo chicken salad, Queso and burgers. Food is delicious. Place is clean. Servers are nice. Prices are a bit high. Bad night. Got sick. I think the fries were soaked in oil too long. Prices got worse. Supervisor needs vaca. Call in orders not processed. Thank God cashier good. May not be able to go back. read more

Only to-go. Really. The pizza looks very popular. All the American basics for a Friday night; burgers, fries, pizza, and tacos.

Not a good experience!!!! i came in and ordered carnitas on a corn tortilla with fajita veggies, lettuce, and cheese. I received my food on a flour tortilla which i did not ask for. The veggies had broccoli in then which made me think they were frozen veggies that were placed to heat up. What supposed Mexican place offers fajita veggies with broccoli in them?? My mom ordered steak on a flour tortilla and although she misread the menu, it was not what we were expecting at all. We asked to send it back and the white guy there did offer a redund but was being quite rude about it. after we finished eating, we came back in to get our money back, and the guy just dropped the money on the table. He did not hand it to me or my mom in our hands. And the food was not worth the $38 we spent on it. read more

I found this little gem while hiking with a friend! And I'm happy I did. They serve mostly Mexican fast food but they do have other options such as burgers, and gyros. I have only ordered Mexican the two times I've been but I feel ehhh about the idea of restaurants having such a wide spectrum when it comes to the food the prepare. NEVERTHELESS it was pretty darn good! I got the nachos supreme and that is exactly what it was! It seemed like they gave me endless supply of nachos LOADED with toppings such as cheese ground beef jalapeños verde sauce, guac, olives ( which I wasn't really a fan off) beans and sour cream to top it off! I topped it off with a Tangerine Mexican soda and it sure was delish! NOW IF THEY CAN SOLVE THE SOGGY CHIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF NACHOS EPIDEMIC I WOULD SING THEIR PRAISES ALL DAY LONG!!! The environment here is extremely laid back and the price was reasonable but on the verge of pricey BUT the portion size makes it worth it. All around I definitely go back. read more

I placed a catering order for Fathers Day, paid for the steak and chicken fajita bar which I picked up. As I began to serve my party I realized that I was given ground beef from the vendor in lieu of steak. Extremely disappointed, I contacted the vendor as I paid for steak and chicken but was provided no answers. I was told that an employee would drop off same night to me a 50$ gift card which was never received. To this date I havent received any type of reimbursement so I strongly advise that nobody place a catering order from this establishment. Yes they do advertise that there is a limited menu but they failed to advise upon placing a catering order. read more

Terrible Customer Service Don't get me the wrong, the food is delicious, but the customer service is comically bad. They are almost the Seinfeld Soup Nazi but without the charming personality. Trying to call and get a delivery is very difficult, the people who answer the phones are super unfriendly and borderline mean. I enjoy the quesadillas and chips/guac, but I think this is the last time I'm ordering from them, because of the lack of care for their customers. read more

Been here twice for lunch as I work up the street so it's close. Got the wet burrito the first time which was good. Second time ordered a burrito bowl and it was essentially just rice and chicken in a bowl. I guess I just assumed that everything in the burrito( guac, sour cream, lettuce, etc) would be included in the bowl. When I got back to work I realized they didn't put a fork in the bag and there weren't any out the restaurant for you to take yourself. All and all not really a bad experience so I would probably go back especially since its so close, but if I'm really in a mood for Mexican I'd probably go elsewhere. read more

Chips and salsa is a great way to start. Have had many items on menu. All good, solid choices. Take out delish, but eating there even better. Staff always helpful and friendly. read more

Just had a delivery from queso Grill. Ordered the chicken sliders for $9.95 add avocado because they told me I was five cents away from a minimum delivery charge. I added avocado as that was the best option for my purchase and was charged almost 3 dollars extra. On top, I was charged $1.75 for delivery when I was less than half a mile away half a mile at the maximum. When I called queso, they mentioned to me that's just the way they do business and price things out. What a rip off for a loyal customer. Not to mention they mess up the order half the time. read more

I am a nacho and taco junkie and every time I find a new good spot, I fall in love. I ordered the nacho supreme with chicken and loco habanero sauce (warning, if you get this sauce, order it on the side instead) but it was delicious! Will definitely be coming back anytime I'm in jersey. read more

I should have taken a picture, but I didn't. Got the fish tacos. I wish there were actually fish in the tacos. Al I had was a thin layer of too crispy breading. It would have tasted good if it had any fish in it. Will not be going back, overpriced for what I got. read more

We have been coming to Queso for about 5 years. The location is off the path and unassuming but the food has always been top notch. Whether it's a burger, burrito, tacos or a salad. Big portions and not too pricey, great spot for a quick bite to eat and something for everyone! read more

Ordered crispy chicken sliders with no cheese then i decided i wanted cheese but cheddar jack instead of american and only on one slider (comes with three) and i wanted cajun fries instead of regular....the cashier was super nice despite my picky order so customer service is always important to me, yay there. the food was pretty good too!! only was in the area for a work training but would probably come again. my coworker had a "wet" burrito and he liked it too! read more

Well, I paid $10 for the "Southwest blackened chicken salad". It consisted of wet lettuce (wouldn't hold the dressing), cold mushy chicken cubes, canned corn, canned black beans, and an underripe tomato and avocado. Yuck. read more

I went to this location with some coworkers on Tuesday, April 7th for lunch. I ordered a burrito, they forgot to add the salsa. My vegetarian friend ordered a veggie burger and sweet potato fries, they put bacon on her burger and served her normal fries. My other friend ordered a turkey burger with fries, they gave him a beef burger and no fries. We sent back the food, and waited about fifteen minutes for the new food to come out. While waiting, I decided to speak to the manager. He said it was our fault, and that we merely switched the burgers up. I told him that's not possible, since none of the burgers were accurate. He told me he didn't even remember seeing a ticket for a veggie burger. I won't be coming back. read more

Ok You don't come here for the "authenticity" of the Mexican food. You come here because it's delicious and the price is right and they're always available. There's a wide variety of options not just on the menu, but options that you can create yourself by customizing the proteins, salsas, form factors of the food etc. The consistent winner for us taste-wise (not health-wise) is the "wet burrito" which we get with either shrimp or chicken or carnitas. We also like the burrito bowl which is all the same stuff, just in the bowl not in a burrito form. For the tacos you can get hard or soft shells (I prefer soft) and get each one with a different filling inside if you wish. They're also pretty consistent with guacamole and chips. They recently upgraded the interior with booths to sit in (before it was hipster-cafeteria style, not great for little kids), which helps. read more

Absolutely bewildering menu - way way way too long. That's because Queso is trying to be every thing to every one - Mexican for those who want burritos or tacos, a salad place for those who want salad, and burger place for those who want burgers - AND Queso wants to offer every type, every variation and every option within all 3 of these categories. When you order, you have to peruse 5 - yes 5 (or maybe it's even 6) - different menu boards behind the cashiers. Not only are there 5 (or maybe 6) menu boards, each board is small-print and crammed with details. They would do well to pare down the options here. That said, the burgers are huge and you can get just about any kind of burger you want, with any topping you want. My husband says the burritos are good, and they are also huge. I have enjoyed every salad I have had here and also the fish tacos. Also, they deliver, which is nice. So it's a good fast food-y type place to drop in or order from for a casual meal, and nice to have in the neighborhood. But be prepared for the SAT examination that the menu is! read more

Despite the appearance it's not a chain. Plus this place is freaking amazing !!!!! Haven't had a bad meal here yet. So pretty much if the fantastic four came to town to come visit me, and wanted a fast Mexican meal... I say I know the perfect place, And you can bring Dr.DOom if he promises to behave himself read more

Loved this place! Wish they would make it up in North Jersey. Fresh ingredients, good combos, great prices, what's not to love? I even checked online to see if it was a chain but it is not. (Looks a little like a chipotle) Great lunch spot! read more

Queso Grill - Taco salad from Queso Grill! The dressing was so yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Lincroft, New Jersey

It's a bit hard to find the first time and the parking lot is a bit small, but you won't focus on that long at all, because the food at Queso, is bomb! I love their wet burrito and the shrimp tacos with their signature cole slaw. The flavor is incredible. The taco salad is also a hit! The younger kid or guy that sometimes answers the phone, needs a new task. He's not friendly and he rushes you off the phone a bit. Other than that, the staff once you arrive is amazing. The cashier is very sweet. The owner or manager is very pleasant too. He thanked me for supporting Queso since it's still a pandemic. I thought that was nice. read more

"Dad,where do you want to go for birthday lunch?" "Queso" "Really? Didn't that like a chain? Like subway?" So, I did a little research on yelp. What the Hell,it's his birthday and it seems ok. A little history: My father and I think burritos are the perfect food. When we went to see a play in the city, I took him to my favorite (slightly dive) burrito joint,which is no longer there. This place exceeded my expectations!!!! My dad had a crispy chicken burrito and I a veggie one. Service was quick and the food was good. We also had a delicious quesadilla. They have burgers too. The place was clean and well lit. Not a dive at all!!! I plan on going back. read more

Meh. Over priced, portions are ok, the food, if tweaked, could be very good. Not worth the money for this type of food...a family of 4 will run you at least $70. The menu consists of glorified burgers, fries, tacos and nachos. read more

Imagine trying to eat but you can't because the staff is idiotic I can't order any food because I call they say order online I order online it says call real helpful it also doesn't help when the restaurant is jammed with 20 people all who already ordered read more

While Queso is a "quick serve" kind of restaurant I would say the burritos can rival some area restaurants and in many ways are better. The food is always hot and fresh and made exactly how you ask for it (and done right!). There is a great selection of proteins for your burrito or you can try one of their delicious quesadillas (buffalo chicken is a favorite of mine). Their chips and guacamole are great. Fresh, never stale tasting and the salsa that accompanies the chips and guac is really fresh and you get to have both the regular and hot varieties. We have never been disappointed at Queso. The place is delicious, spotless and family friendly. read more

Used to be excellent but has gone downhill over the past 6 months or so. I was here 2-3 times a month but now I refuse to go back. Multiple incidents of orders being entered / made wrong, things missing on the order even though they were one the receipt, etc. That, and the prices seem to be higher. Meh.... avoid until they get their act together again. read more

Queso is a cross between Chipotle and a burger joint. The food is great but it suffers from an identity crisis. I wish the owners would have picked a better location because it's tucked back in a little strip mall that you will definitely pass the first time you try to find. I've heard from relatives that the burgers are good but for this visit my family settled on the Mexican side of the menu. My wife had the crunchy chicken tacos which were just as described with a good crunch on the shell. My son tried the tortilla soup which was a little spicy for his four year old pallet but filled with shredded chicken and vegetables and reheated well. They have a great kids menu, my daughter settled on the bean burrito with a side of rice and beans. Last I had a smothered chicken burrito filled with rice, beans, chunks of grilled chicken and all the fix'ns. I was very tasty and hit the spot. I will definitely be coming back here for my next burrito or burger fix. read more

K. So... Agree with Wendy G. on the menu completely. You can get a $15 salad or a $6 salad depending on what you ask for. The reason chipotle is so successful is that it is so simple - literally 6 or 7 ingredients, all the same price "how you like it." This is something that Queso should consider. Their vegetarian chili is EXCELLENT. Very hearty, fresh veggies perfectly cooked. The burgers are kind of absurd and really cheapen the place. There are no Mexican options in Lincroft except this one - embrace that! read more

Probably one of the worst "so called" Mexican food places in the county. I ordered some nachos to take over to the coffee shop next door. The first order was ice cold. I watched my order sit there on the counter for the ten minutes I waited for it. By the time I got it, it was cold. I'll hand it to the manager on duty. He had them make it again. I took it next door to the coffee shop. It had no flavor and was just plain nasty. I gave it to the coffee shop guys. Worst nachos I've ever had and a waste of $10.00. Damn them. read more

I really used to love it here. Unfortunately, not sure what happened since covid but they are totally exploiting the situation in the sense that a taco meant went from $6.95 to $10.95. Everything went up from 4-6 dollars. I am all In strong support of the restaurants. Raise the prices a bit, but 4-6 dollars an item? That's taking advantage! Go with $2 an item for okay Mexican food. And apparently Luigis now owns it, per the website info. Food is not as good. Never been a fan of Luigi's with their square "pizza pie." Will go to Juanito's moving forward . Well worth the drive. read more

The best Mexican food in the area. Since I discovered it a couple months ago I've been averaging 2 dinners a week...consistently a great meal. The only issue is that I live 2 miles from the restaurant and they won't deliver to me. read more

Terrible meal & horrendous service from manager after I complained. 10% discount after social media check in is a LIE, chips & guacamole is not a meal. Minor league! $25 tab, don't come here. If you complain, manager doesn't care. Just go to red bank or highlands for great Mexican food! read more
