Though not inexpensive, the American Classic Burger and the Spicy Cabo Burger are the best in the area. The Wet Burrito is also great and can almost feed two. I'm also a fan of the pulled pork chili and the home made mac & cheese. Of course the parking lot sucks, but the fact that they're successful, as is neighboring Luigi's Pizza, tells you the food is worth it. read more

Not authentic Mexican food but overall quite good. Quesdillas is my standard there. Acceptable portion size & not too greasy. Buffalo Chicken & Philly Cheesesteak are great choices. Burrito's are big. Place isn't stingy with their ingredients. Design a salad is a great option. Everything can be customized to your liking. I order from there once or twice a week. Good food with good prices. R read more

I should have known there was going to be a problem when I called and placed an order, and had to repeat myself 10 times. No surprise when I picked up my food the order was wrong. The biggest joke is when the kid who took my order tried arguing with me like I was the one who was wrong. Seriously? Go pound salt. I won't be back. read more

Me and my friend come here all the time and we love it!! Never a bad experience ever when we come. The food is so good, and honestly I love it better than chipotle. It's a little pricier but definitely worth it. A nice lunch in between classes! Another plus is that all the employees are really nice too! read more

My parents have always drove by this place but they never tried it. So one day randomly we decided that we wanted to go for some mexican and found this place on yelp. This place is a hidden gym. I ordered the Steak Burrito and it was great. I was surprised at how big the portion was. I would consider it two meals. Will be going back forrsure read more

Opening Night- welcome to the neighborhood! Well worth the wait for opening day... I had the tacos with shredded beef and my GF had the burrito bowl. Everything was fresh, delicious and fast. Basically like a Chipotle, but with lots more options. 4 minor suggestions: serve authentic mexican aqua frescas, such as Jamaica, Horchata...(not bottled) Why serve fresh, healthy food and then only crappy american fountain drinks? offer a chimichanga have a free bowl of house salsa out by the sodas make the enchiladas with enchilada sauce, not rojo sauce This place will def be on my regular stops. so glad to have some great mexican food nearby:) read more

One of the best Mexican places in Central jersey i used to go here for lunch when i was attending Brookdale community college and have nothing to complain about. The food is awesome. I would recommend the cheese fries as a side with your meal their out of this world! read more

Went there for the first time today (they opened yesterday). The atmosphere was very nice and the employees were extremely pleasant. I got the Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Quesadilla and it was awesome. The flavors were great and it was plenty to fill me up. I only had 2 things that only slightly bothered me. First, the music was a bit too loud and it was difficult to hear the guy taking my order. And second, when ordering to go they need to be sure to put utensils and napkins in the bag. But the food, definitely tasty and I will absolutely be going back, especially since I work right down the street. Wonderful to see something a bit different come to Lincroft. read more

My favorite go to place to eat! I tried this place one day from yelp and have been coming back about once every month since! The burrito bowl is delicious and everything is so fresh every time! 10/10 recommend! read more

Looking at a menu it caught me off guard bc they sell Mexican and then burgers. My friend got a burrito that looked amazing. My other friend got chicken fajitas, My husband got a wet burrito which was loaded with stuff on the inside and outside, and I got a buffalo blue turkey burger in a rap. The food was outstanding. The turkey burger in the wrap was so good I can't wait to get it again!! I would have posted a picture but it is log gone by now. If you are in the area you HAVE to check this place out. read more

This recently became a new lunch spot for me. It's in a little strip mall in Lincroft. It's relatively new so the dining room is modern and kind of hip feeling. There is ample seating. When you walk in, you can see the open kitchen that runs along the entire length of the restaurant. Their menu is quite extensive. Kind of a mix of tex mex food and salad bar. They have custom salads that you can pick from the menu or make up whatever salad you want. All the salad items are very fresh and the portions are generous and relatively cheap. I enjoy the salads so much that I haven't tried anything else yet. The burritos and quesadillas seem to be very popular though from what I've seen. Great lunch spot read more

Best local Mexican food. Pleasant staff and fast service.

I love the burritos here! They are big and filling. It's actually the only thing I have eaten here but everything that I have seen come out of the kitchen looks awesome. read more

Definitely a fan, especially considering that they deliver! Food was good, tacos were delicious and everything was delivered on time. Will definitely order from here again. read more

Queso has become one of my all time favorite burrito places, I've probably been there around 30 times, I've only had one bad experience, but I could understand because they had quite a few new employees on that day, but every other time it's been top notch, I highly recommend it every month but august because that when they re staff, but for the most part, when you want a great burrito handled with care and service that doesn't rush you, queso is the place for you. read more

Huge menu with big portions. Don't pick the hot sauce unless you can seriously handle the heat! Still have a lingering feeling in my mouth

I have been going to Queso pretty much since it opened because I work in the area. The food is usually pretty good and fast. I wouldn't put it on the same level as chipotle tho. But with the lack of Mexican restaurants in the area there not much of a choice. They also recently decided to add some items like hamburgers and sandwiches to their menu. I ordered one of the burgers and while good it took almost 15-20 minutes to come out. Not fun in you only have a half hour lunch. All in all I still frequent Queso once or twice a month when I'm craving some tacos. read more

The wet burrito is awesome! The place is comfortable and there are a lot of great options on the menu. Love that you have so many choices of hot sauce available at each table. read more

Always good food, fast service. We like to order take out from here, it's always ready when we pick it up.

Wide menu selection; trendy look to the shop; nice staff. My steak and shrimp burrito was quite tasty. Since I was dining in it was served on a real plate to my table (after ordering/paying at the counter) with a very attractive plating. Would have been four-star review but for this: I have to hold back one star because the item was just only warm -- not piping hot as I expected/wanted. I was there very early for lunch (~10:45), and I have the sense that the steam tables just had not yet had time to heat the fillings (rice, beans, meat) very thoroughly. But: will return. read more

Don't understand the bad reviews.. Wandered in here after living in the area for 3 years and was treated to a SLAMMIN steak burrito. Not just good.. I said SLAMMIN. The steak wet burrito is my go to item on the menu but I've also tried the quesadillas and taco salad which are equally as good. Service is good considering it's mostly neighborhood kids working in there. Orders taken and food in hand always under 10 minutes. If it wasn't for this place I'd have to drive all the way into red bank for a decent burrito. read more

Over priced, poorly trained staff. Not authentic Mexican food at all. Not a single menu item I could recommend so instead find yourself a better Mexican restaurant in the area. read more

Great Mexican, burgers, and salads...its like a cross of five guys chipoltle and salad works, but better ingredients

The food here is decent. This is definitely not a substitute for Qdoba or Chipolte! The prices are pretty high and seems to lack a certain flavor in their food. This is the second time I tried this place and most likely will not be going back. read more

I stick to ordering this food to go or for delivery! Great food. I feel eating in the establishment would taint the experience ! The dining area had a weird smell to me when I went inside . The staff is young - most likely first job - employees. Worth the delivery! Queso is delicious ! read more

This is my favorite place to eat!! Queso blows chipotle out of the water. I won't even step foot into chipotle because of queso. Their burrito bowls and pretty much everything is the best. Love it read more

I keep giving it a chance but am disappointed every time. The food is very salty, consistently. However, I appreciate the menu variety and do have friends who genuinely enjoy it! read more

New to the area, and came across this place. It's become a go-to spot for sure. We can't help but keep ordering, its so good! Quesidillas are really good, burritos and they even have gyro. I love their salsa verde (medium). Can't get enough. Someone said they're like a chipotle / burger joint. That's probably a good description. Location is a bit of a pain. We often park in the Rite-Aid, and walk over. They do delivery too read more

Went to Queso for the first time today. The service was good and the food fresh and tasty. I had the taco salad with grilled steak (which is an add'l $1)...recommend getting that dish. Everything looked good ad well. It is a BYOB read more

I used to eat here all the time and it was great. Food was disgusting this time around, mushrooms smelled bad in my burrito and guacamole made with overripe avocados and slimy. Also had an argument with an employee that shrimp and fish are not "vegetarian specials". Also did not enjoy the flys buzzing around my head. Truly gross experience. read more

Queso is probably my favorite place to be in the entire world. The workers are always super friendly and the food comes out perfect every time. I have one complaint. The parking lot, the parking is awful but once you get over that obstacle, there is nothing standing between you, and whatever you are craving on their menu. They have anything from salad to burgers to burritos. The classic burrito wrap is my personal go-to. I do not know one person who would rather go to Chipotle after having Queso two times. I highly suggest you to stop by and try anything they have on the menu, you will be very pleased with the result you get. read more

I could not get myself to give this place anything but 5 stars! The food at this place is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Chipotle is honestly no where near as good as Queso. I have tried Chipotle a couple of times and it is honestly terrible in comparison. The service is kind of tough here though. It's the only part that gets me to not enjoy it AS much as other places. However, the managers are always wonderful and provide great customer service. If you have not tried Queso yet, what are you waiting for? read more

Decent food. Don't deliver they take forever. Love two blocks away and it took them over an hour to get here. When the food got here it was cold. The food is definitely not worth that wait or the minimum amount they make you reach before delivering. I've given them three chances and each time seems worse read more

Solid "Americanized" Mexican food at a great price. If you're looking for an authentic mole sauce or something of that sort, look elsewhere since its not their type of cuisine. Place is clean, staff is friendly, food is good. read more

I would like to give a little more than three but not quite four, and this is why. The food is delicious! I will absolutely be going back for a wet burrito. The fries are also very good. The service is what gives it a three. I went on a Friday evening at dinner time which is when I would expect the best servers to be on at a place like this. Not so much. The guy in the kitchen making food had no idea what salsa was spicy and what was not (I have a newborn so spicy food is out right now for obvious reasons). I got my food very quick, but it was soooooo spicy. I asked for a different salsa and he said that was the mild so I was nervous the chicken was spicy. Finally after asking me five times what I want in my burrito, another girl came over and suggested I get the salsa on the side. Thankful for her, bc I enjoyed every darn bite! (Albeit, he put the sour cream inside instead of the side like I asked but that was yummy and I'll do that again). I will go back, but they need to up their employee game. I kinda felt like I was talking to all the "D" students in the class when I was there. The ones who pay juuuuust enough attention to pass, but not to do very well. read more

I have been a waitress for over 15 years and have never written a bad review. This being said.... Do not eat here! The staff was young, unknowledgable about the menu, my order was put in wrong, and my food was cold. I can handle all of that....but I was watching the cooks prepare the food. The cooks behind the line wore gloves but never changed them. It would be safer to not wear gloves and at least wash your hands! One cook was pressing raw meat down on the grill with his gloves on. WIthout changing the gloves, he wiped his hands off on his dirty apron then picked up bread, cut it, and made salads. He then went back to the raw meat and pressed it down again and continued to make food. I brought it up to a worker and manager who could have cared less. Being a waitress for as long as I have, I let a lot slide and rarely complain. This is a dangerous place to eat!! read more

The food was alright for the most part if you ignore the part where the desert, which was selected from a very limited menu, tasted like rotten cheesecake left in a hot car for 3 days. Pretty overpriced too. read more

Let me start out by saying that this place is immaculate and the staff is very nice. I was really looking forward to a burrito along the lines of Chipotle's. I ordered a burrito filled with carnitas (pork). The ingredients were super fresh, however the food had absolutely no taste. The meat had no seasoning, the corn salsa which was supposed to be medium in hotness had no flavor either. I was totally disappointed. read more

Manager a jerk when asked for a1, really? Never again.. Thanks for the great customer service ahole.

The food was mediocre, the service was slow, and the atmosphere was very cold. However, the artichoke taco was quite good.
