    Rice and beans not good!
    Jennifer T.

    I came here around ten years ago, and I thought it wasn't good then. I gave it a shot again a decade later because of the good reviews. Let's just say it's still pretty bad! It's my lowest review yet for a Mexican restaurant! I had the combination dinner which came with a tostada, burrito, and a Tamal. The tostada was TERRIBLE! It was so bland! The meat had no flavor whatsoever either! The burrito was good! I asked for chipotle cream sauce on the side for it which I thought was good as well. The Tamal was HORRIBLE! It had no flavor at all! The meat was dry and tasteless! It barely had any green sauce on it, and the little it did had was flavorless! The dinner came with rice and beans which was pretty bad as well! The only thing that was good here was the burrito with chipotle cream sauce, and it wasn't great! I definitely don't recommend coming here for Mexican food!

    Nachos, chips & verde salsa & tamales !

    Authentic Mexican food by Mexican grandma .Price is great food is perfect ! Atmosphere is like Guadalajara ! Come hungry , leave satisfied . Service is attentive and bilingual . Nothing here to complain about . Give this place a try over any other Latin restaurant ! Bar none .

    Burrito Texano Dinner with chicken

    I got a burrito from here and OMG. The burrito was drenched in sauce and was so good. The food tasted authentic and delicious. Would definitely recommend for a quick mexican meal.

    Burrito Texano

    I had a really great experience at Senor Pepper in Red Bank! Located conveniently near the train station, I can't believe I haven't been here sooner given how often I pass by it. The dining room was quiet on a Saturday night, but it seemed like the majority of orders were for takeout. Regardless, the staff was super friendly and attentive. The chips were warm and came with two types of salsas, a green and a red. Both salsas were super fresh and very tasty, with the red salsa having just the right amount of spice. We ordered the Chicken Fajitas and Chicken Burrito Texano. The fajitas were delicious and freshly sizzling out of the kitchen and came with rice, beans, pico de gallo, and sour cream. The portion was huge, and I ended up taking the rest home which will probably be enough for two more meals. The Burrito Texano seems to be super popular and I understand why - the cream sauce was a house specialty and super tasty. Both dishes were reasonably priced and delicious. The portions were huge and offered great value for the price. I highly recommend this place!

    We were going to theatre down the street, so stopped in. It was merely ok. The food was standard fast-food Mexican and was merely edible. I would probably not go back unless my dining companion really wanted to go. The dining area of the restaurant was quite cold, so I had to keep my winter coat on while I ate. The selection was minimal and I had a tough time finding anything I wanted to eat. I would not recommend this place, especially because it was difficult to find anything mildly spiced.

    If you haven't been here yet what are you even doing?!?!?!? I am obsessed. Reasonable prices, authentic, low key and AMAZING food. The burrito texano is the best of the best. Try it and you'll never order anything else again. I have too many good things to say about this place, go and experience it for yourself. Also - they recently redecorated. I didn't get a picture, but it looks great. Super bright and lively.

    Great spot for dinner or lunch. Sit down comes with chips and dip. Burrito was delicious, always is. Easy parking and great for a quick bite

    Chorizo burrito to go

    I ordered the chorizo burrito and horchata. Food is good and portion was decent for the price. Service was quick. Its a block away from train station.

    Chips and salsa.

    Senor Peppers is an authentic mexican restaurant located in the outskirts of downtown Red Bank. The restaurant is located across the street from the Red Bank train station amongst several other Mexican eateries. What sets Senor Peppers apart from them is that Senor Peppers serves up genuine homestyle Mexican cuisine, whereas it's competitors serve Tex-Mex. Yes, there is a difference Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. The dining area is an open area with nicely spaced tables. The restaurant isn't upscale but is clean and has a homely feel to it. It's got the feel of being in a friends kitchen. Upon taking a seat, the staff will give you a menu and complimentary chips and salsa. For my visit, I ordered the burrito al pastor which is a flour burrito stuffed with rice, beans, cheese, al pastor (grilled marinated pork) and pineapple. The ingredients were fresh and overall everything was delicious. I'm a fan of Senor Peppers...great food, great value, great service.

We decided on sharing the mixed grill fajitas. It was so good. There was a good amount of shrimp, chicken and steak. It had great flavor, and the homemade tortillas were very good. The green spicy sauce they provide isn't spicy but adds good flavor. We couldn't finish between the two of us. The food and service was excellent and would come back again.

The verde salsa was much better than the red salsa. I ordered the hibiscus juice which was sweet and perfectly sour and refreshing in this heat wave. We ordered the tostadas and burritos chistosos. The food came out rather quick as we were one of two tables there. My tostadas were good just extremely messy to eat. The two mini burritos the beef was far superior to the chicken one. The crema queso sauce was the best part of the burritos for it was packed with flavor. The beans and rice were just okay as they really didn't have any type of flavor. Pricing was average depending on what you ordered and most meals came with a side of rice and beans as well.

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.

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.

    A Red Bank must try restaurant....Kitchen Tex-Mex has outstanding authentic Mexican food…read more Ample seating can accommodate a lot of guests so I wouldn't estimate you could always get a table. The menu is extensive so there are a lot of options and undoubtedly something for everyone. Guacamole and chips were fresh, when eating the salsa the green one is rather spicy so keep that in mind (we love spicy so it was perfect). Tacos as an option is great because you can get them all the same or mix it up and order fish, pork, shredded pork and or sausage. The meat is slow cooked and accompanied by melted cheese, onions, and cilantro.....the perfect combination to dance on your Palate. The fish taco was lightly breaded chunks of fish and was not in the slightest bit greasy. I would highly recommend you order a horchata drink....it's a non-alcoholic, sweet, and refreshing drink. Horchata is made by blending white rice and cinnamon sticks in water and letting them soak overnight. After the rice and cinnamon are discarded, the remaining liquid is then flavored with vanilla, sugar, and ground cinnamon.....a must try and a drink you will crave all the time.
