We kept with the basics since it was our first time -- hubby had a chimichanga, I had a variety of soft tacos and my son had the bisteak à la Mexicana. The portions were generous -- I couldn't believe how much shrimp and meat were in my tacos. All the flavors were distinct and vibrant -- indications of a chef who cares about fresh, quality ingredients. My son calls the experience the true "Happy Meal"! We finished with the flan which was served à la mode (who does that??) and it was devoured so quickly, I forgot to take a photo of it. I hope you enjoy the other photos of our dinner though... you simply must try in person when you're in the area. Thank you to the lovely team of Las Delicias de La Negra! Our next trip to AC will definitely include a return!

Breakfast Burrito: 5/5 must try! it was amazing. One of the best breakfast burritos I have had and well worth the price!

Paired with well executed homefries just brought you an amazing breakfast that leaves you happy and full to the brim. 100% a must visit if you are in AC.

Wow, Mexican food in Atlantic City is not what I have come to expect as a lifelong AZ girl. From…read morethe reviews I had high expectations for the food at Salt and Pepper. We came in for dinner on our first night in town, because it was near our vacation rental. The cook, cashier and waitress was very busy, so we took seats in the side dining area and she got to us eventually. My standard taqueria order is carne asada tacos so that what I got here... three tacos no side because that's what was on the menu. Husband ordered a chicken burrito with rice and black beans. The plates looked pretty good, but the carne asada was full of large chewy inedible pieces that really ruined the experience. The tacos were also two corn tortillas each and very dry, so I added some of the excellent hot sauce from the bottle she brought us with the meal. I should have asked for avocado or guacamole to supplement the tacos. Salsa helped, but I had to pull out of my mouth (and put aside) about a third of each of the nasty gristly contents of three tacos so I really only got two. Fine, whatever. The chicken burrito was moist and packed with more rice and beans. The side rice was very dry, I suppose better if mixed with the saucy black beans. Anyway he consumed it all. We paid the bill at the counter and left, not sure we were even thanked for dining by the busy gal or the man hanging around the counter. Small businesses need all the help they can get to survive so I can hope they are getting plenty of support from the community to dine here. I will seek better options next time.

I cannot remember the name of the dish. But what I will say is that the food was delicious, all of it was excellent. And the price of $25 for this very full plate was worth every penny. I was starving and I ate a lot, but still had to take half of my food home. I have now found my favorite Colombian food and the Atlantic City area. Definitely a must do if you were in the area.

Although there was no one sitting to eat in the restaurant, there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up to go or meal delivery orders. I ordered the fried pork (griot), beans and rice, plantains, and pate chodye. Everything tasted good and authentic. The pate chodye was new to me because it was like an empanada. It was stuffed with meat, an egg and pikliz (like a spicy slaw). The food was cooked to order so it gave my party time to talk and catch up. There are lots of tables for eating in. Framed photos and Haitian flag banners provide some ambiance.

I was about to try the mabi juice as my beverage since I didn't know what it was and was looking to try something new, but the lady taking our order advised against it since it is apparently very bitter, so I appreciated her advice. She was the only staff we interacted with but she was very sweet. I ordered the jerk chicken while my friends got the goat soup, a curry, and fried pork. Each dish came with rice, beans, a side salad and fried plantains. My friends really enjoyed their dishes, and I thought it was the best jerk chicken I ever had! Generous portions, and the spice level/taste was perfect! The food was the best part of my vacation lol so I'm glad we stopped by. Definitely recommend you try this place out!

I'd always heard the saying that hole‑in‑the‑wall restaurants have the best food -- and this place proves that 100% true. If you love good food, this is the spot.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

The tiny restaurant was full so that was a good sign. In any case, I got Al Pastor Tacos. They came dressed with onions and cilatro, served in homemade tortillas, a few slices of radishes, lots of slices or lime, a roasted serrano pepper, a green salsa, and a red salsa. They were HUGE and stuffed with pork. I was so excited but when I bit into it, it was flavorless. The salsas helped A LOT. In any case, the meat was tender and the bits of pineapple was a nice added element. The guy who fixed my order was ok. And the price point was good.

They have a few tables inside to sit and eat if you're interested. The service is pretty good. The woman behind the counter is quite friendly and was helpful in deciding what I ordered. I spent about $70 and ordered the following: Fried Whiting platter with Yams and Collard Greens Jerk Chicken - just chicken 3 wings and fries Curried Chicken platter with rice and cabbage The fried whiting platter in terms of the fish was a smashing hit. I loved the fish. Seasoned well, no bones, great on the portion size. The candid yams were lacking cinnamon, softness, and taste. Could have been much better along with the seasonless greens. I definitely needed so salt. The Jerk Chicken was too soft to me and didn't have a true jerk taste. After two bites it went in the trash. The 3 wings and fries were good to me. While not actually wings and moreso wingettes they are a good size. Nice and crunchy. The curried chicken ok. The cabbage was lacking season. The rice was ok. Overall if I happened to be in the area I'd only want the fish. Most of the food lacks seasoning and isn't with it to me but the chicken and fish are a hit for me.
