[Would give them a 4.5 for food alone.] No reason not to dine here if your budget can handle it. Thanks for staying open late on Labor Day.

First time here, and it was very easy to get a reservation. The place was definitely a cool vibe…read moreinside and we got seated right away. Our server was lovely and super attentive. We got a few different kinds of drinks some including margarita's and one was a kiwi flavor drink. I think it was awesome that they gave us the option for different kind of salted rims. They're mostly known for their shared plate concepts so we got several items and split everything. We got the tostadas which was an interesting plate of a couple different things, the nachos which I loved, the ceviche which was ok-not your typical ceviche and bit too spicy for me, the salad which I really liked, camerones which the table liked, the pork tacos which I heard were very spicy, the chicken tacos which were good and the steak which was hands down my favorite and the yuca mash was so yummy and different. For the steak, you can only get it medium rare or well done which I is 2 complete ends of the spectrum. We are medium people, so we ended up getting a medium rare. It was definitely a lot of food, but it's a good amount for all of us and it was a nice way to try the menu. I definitely will be back.

Ordered spicy margaritas, classic margaritas and sangria and were very happy with all of them. Food was delicious with one exception. Multiple orders of pork tacos cuz they're that good. Tostadas were top notch as well. Only disappointment was the chicharron. Avocado crema slaw that came with it was very good but pork was way too fatty. Came out pale white instead of crispy brown and tasted like it looked. Service by Liz was phenomenal. It was Easter so it was nice having the place not quite to ourselves but almost. My second time there and definitely worth a revisit. Sorry for the lack of pics

Discovered this spot at the 2025 Asbury Park Restaurant Tour and had to come back because the…read morebirria taco I tried was so delicious! Ambiance: - plenty of seating - plenty of natural lighting - got quite warm inside because there seemed to be weak AC Service: - Staff was friendly. - mix of sit down and order/pay at the counter - food is made to order so it took about 10 min for us to receive our food after ordering Food - birria nachos: large portion! Perfect for sharing for a group or split between 2 people. Came with the perfect ratio of melted cheese, sour cream, birria beef, guac and crispy chips. I loved adding different fresh salsas from the salsa bar to the nachos I'll definitely come back if I'm in the Asbury park beach area again!

I've passed by here 1 million times and never have been inside. What a better day to go check it…read moreout then on Cinco de Mayo. The ambience was a little bit more elevated than I expected. The place was definitely crowded, I wasn't surprised. The ordering process was a bit confusing. They were people standing online so we waited behind them. 15 minutes later we realized they didn't move, they were waiting for their food they already ordered. We went on another line and made our way towards the register. We told her that we're going to eat inside so she just told us to take a seat at the table and that someone would be with us. A good 10 to 15 minutes later and no one came over to us. I went up to one of the ladies that I saw walking around and she said that though woman at the register told us the wrong thing. Definitely disorganized and slightly chaotic and a lot of waiting. They seemed short staffed though so we were fine. Since I had never been here before, I wanted to try a few things because I didn't know what I would like. I got the single Pollo taco which was nice and simple, taco de costra with chicken which I liked, the queso birria with chicken, but unfortunately they didn't give me chicken, I think it was pork and it was so greasy. I appreciate that they didn't give onions when I asked if that was possible. Definitely would come back and try some other things. Hopefully it will be a little more organized.

After a sun-soaked day at Asbury Beach, Loteria is hands-down the best spot to refuel and relax…read more I've been here a few times with my family while visiting NJ, and every time it hits the mark. The vibes are effortlessly cool--laid-back and colorful. Their servers are always open and friendly. Their outdoor seating is ideal for feeling the breeze. Their nachos and burritos are authentic and satisfying--wholesome ingredients, bold flavors, and generous portions. Bonus: it's right next to a gelato place, so dessert's covered too. If you're in Asbury, and craving great Mexican food with a side of smelling the roses-type energy, Loteria is it.

I can't say this is the *best* Mexican I've ever had but considering location and the options…read morearound here, Cielito Lindo is a stand out. There's a lot of restaurants in small strip malls around this road but this family operated Mexican restaurant gives you such delicious food for such a great deal that I wouldn't really want to have anything else if I'm around here. There is an expansive selection of familiar foods including tacos, nachos, tortas, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, guacamole but also encompass a wide selection of traditional Mexican plates/entrees served with rice and beans including chicken in mole sauce, barbacoa, carnitas... wow! I was a bit overwhelmed because I wanted to try everything but ended up going with Barbacoa de Chivo con Rajas (goat meat with grilled chile peppers). A friend who is a frequent customer suggested the Casamiento (pork chop & steak with fried plantains). My friends who came with got the Casamiento and El Comal which looked and tasted amazing. Before your order arrives, each table is given homemade nachos with a green dip/salsa and pico de gallo. So fresh and the green dip is really amazing, I've had nothing like it but it's flavorful and you can see the cilantro in there. My actual entree was massive and even though I was starving, I could barely finish the whole plate. Super fresh and flavorful. To the point where I didn't even need hot sauce and I love slathering hot sauce on my food. As for ambiance... it's not a high end restaurant and you shouldn't expect it to be. It's actually a converted Japanese restaurant - you can see from the glass at the front door with the bamboo accents and the front desk decorations. It's not a big restaurant either; there's booths that fit 4 on both sides and some tables in the center. There's some baked goods at the front in rows of trays that you can pick up to go. BYOB. Can call to pick up food if you don't want to eat there. Seems like delivery isn't super consistent but it's certainly worth a drive by to eat here. If you have a Mexican fix while you're around this part of the Jersey shore, I can't recommend Cielito Lindo enough :)

The good - plenty of parking…read more-very reasonable pricing -friendly staff and attentive staff -plenty of sit down space (no crazy views or anything as it's right off the highway) -it's byob -not too crowded on a peak weekend evening -plantains and chips with guacamole were The bad -my main entree was the sizzling fajita plate that I received with chicken. Plenty of food I would agree for one person. However it lacked ANY kind of seasoning or flavor. The plate and presentation was set nice, however it didn't activate any of my taste buds. I'm not sure if it's specific to the chicken not being seasoned and this may not be the case with the other meats and the shrimp, but I wouldn't recommend getting this plate. I'm not quite sure what the bread and butter is with this place but it's not it with the fajitas..maybe have a better chance ordering another entree. I would probably give this place one more chance but I would not recommend getting the fajita. Bring your own tequila for a margarita as I did hear neighboring patrons talk about how good their house virgin margarita mix was.

Even though this was my first time, I would def try other stuff along with ordering the tacos. We tried the beef empanadas and the street corn, def could skip these. My favorite was the special taco they had with 3 different types of meat, one of them was steak. That and the chorizo were the best. I would not order the brisket again because it was simply dry and salty. Although our food took awhile to come out, I still enjoyed what I had and would recommend this spot.
