Started off with the brie cheese (delicious and a great twist with the salsa and fresh tortilla) and is an absolute must in my opinion. I also got the spinach and cheese quesadilla.

All the orders were written down by the waitress after a 20 minute wait. The 2 pitchers of Margaritas we ordered were loaded with mostly ice and we had to ask for glasses with salted rims. We were always re-asking for basic things on the table like plates, napkins, and kids drinks due to the limited wait staff that was not in sight during our meal. When the food finally arrived, it was plopped on the table quickly and even the sour cream for the tacos was missing and never brought. The food portions for adults meals were adequate, but I thought that on a busy Saturday the restaurant experience and overall hospitality was disappointing.

I did have a bunch of their sauces and salsas. None really stood out except their green sauce, which was used sporadically. Birria Tacos - These were very good. The consommé was flavorful, while the beef was tender. The tortilla was crisp too even with the consommé added. Elote Corn - This was rather plain. There was only a crema and cotija cheese present. It seemed like chili powder was supposed to be added, but I did not taste or see any. The corn could have been cooked a little better too. Guacamole - This was tasty. It appeared fresh and paired well with the chips given. I really liked the texture of it too. Chicken Flautas - These were deep fried tortillas with chicken, sour cream, lettuce, and cotija cheese I believe. These were solid. The chicken could have been seasoned a little more, but the tortillas were crisp and held up. Choriqueso Con Tortillas Tostadas - This was melted jack and Oaxacan cheese topped with Mexican chorizo over toasted nixtamal homemade corn tortillas. The cheese and chorizo was excellent, with lots of flavor. It did not look the best but tasted good. The corn tortilla was either old and stale or just fried way too long as it was very tough to chew. It could have made for a great bite. Will I go back? Debatable.

Here's a refined, "elite" Yelp review that also subtly reflects the photo:…read more If you're looking for a spot that nails both presentation and flavor, Atlantic House is absolutely worth the trip. We ordered the fish tacos, birria tacos, and kettle-style potato chips--and every plate came out looking as good as it tasted. The fish tacos were beautifully assembled, piled high with crisp, fresh slaw that added the perfect crunch to the tender, flaky fish underneath. Light, clean, and balanced. The birria tacos were the star of the table. Rich, deeply seasoned meat tucked into perfectly griddled shells, served with a savory dipping broth that takes each bite to another level. Messy in the best way possible--and completely worth it. Even the kettle-style potato chips stood out. Thick-cut, golden, and topped with just the right amount of flavor to make them more than just a side--they held their own next to the tacos. The overall experience ties everything together: polished yet relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that clearly have intention behind them. It's the kind of place where you can tell care is put into both the food and the experience. Atlantic House isn't just a good meal--it's a spot you'll want to come back to, and one I'd recommend without hesitation.

I found the food pretty good specifically the empanadas. I could not believe how delicious they were. I thought I made good empanadas but these are better than mine! I have to step up my game. Unfortunately, I dug in and forgot to take a photo. The style of empanadas were the way the Puerto Rican empanadas are made, with the ground beef and potato in it. Very tasty. They were pretty big as welI. I also ordered the corn softshell fish tacos, which had a nice mild flavor. Think they were cod or halibut. I thought I would be able to choose three different tacos, but I could not so I had to choose one type. My friend ordered the Birria tacos, which were very good. I gave him a fish taco and I took a Birria taco. The tacos came with a green sauce as well as chipotle sauce. The green sauce was to die for. I was obsessed with it. The server said he believed it was made with avocado and garlic. I forgot what else he mentioned. I would like to recreate it. The taco platter came with the basic Mexican style yellow rice and black beans. The rice and beans like every other Mexican restaurant that I have dined in, lacked a bit of flavor. I think that's just the way their rice and beans are made. I don't want to compare them with Cuban black, which are the best because those have Cuban flavors and made differently and the Mexican beans are made differently so this did not surprise me and I am not going to take away stars for the way that they are made. I brought the left over beans home and doctored them up with a little vinegar and pack of white label sazon a bit more water for the boil and to mix in the flavors and all was good. The restaurant is very nice with some nice murals decorating the walls. The server, Brian, was very personable and informative. I plan to come back here and try their other dishes. So far, I recommend. Do try those empanadas! You won't be disappointed!

We ordered takeout and quite frankly were disappointed. I got an al pastor burrito, which was the smallest burrito I have ever gotten from a restaurant. If I'm being honest, there were only a few bites that were not entirely bread. When you got to the al pastor, it was flavorful but it just wasn't what I expect from a restaurant. It kind of seemed like they used the wrong size burrito to wrap it or just reallllly skimped on the toppings. There was also no sour cream in it despite being listed on menu. My wife got a chicken quesadilla, that while it resembled a quesadilla it was essentially a folded tortilla that was not pressed at all. It was kind of like a taco. Maybe a different iteration of a traditional quesadilla, but it was a bit off in my opinion. Chips & Salsa for $4, came with a salsa that we would get for free if we asked. It was a tiny container, similar to something you'd put ketchup in. I figured we'd get a larger portion and a true chunky salsa. Maybe it was an off night as they recently opened, but I can't see myself going back if this is what you get.

Menu is expansive which many options. Tortilla soup was good but for personal reasons could be a bit more spicier with a kick. Portions were very big. Not skimping on the meats. Chimichanga with beef barria had at least a half pound of meat. Tacos also has very good size meats on them. Place was busy but not crazy. Overall a better authentic-like Mexican place that I've seen in Monmouth.
