We've rounded up Forked River's top Mexican spots for you to try.
“I recently made the change to vegan and Taco Bell was able to easily accommodate. They replaced meat with potatoes or beans in the power bowl and it was really tasty. Very pleasedVegetarian options: You have to ask them to make substitutions and leave off dairy products. But they were happy to do it.“
“It’s honestly so hard to get things made right nowadays especially at Chipotle- it can be hit or miss. Christian always makes my order perfect though and he knows I’m a little high maintenance and remembers how I like it every time I come through. Gracie is also the best and the guy with dark curly hair! They deserve a raise or something (no pizza party, just more money).“
“Me and my daughter had the chicken tacos, steak tacos, French fries, and beef empanadas. Everything was AMAZING!! We were greeted immediately by a happy man and my daughter commented later that he was such a nice man. Definitely going back.“
“Delicious and authentic! Everything was seasoned perfectly (has the tacos)! Our server saw us looking at a dish that another person ordered (some type of vegetable soup), so she brought us each a portion, and some rice, to try! I really wish I lived closer because I’d be here every day!“
“Delicious, delicious, and delicious! This is the most Authentic Mexican food I've ever eaten! Me and my family came to jersey for vacation and they saw this restaurant and I'm very glad they did. So many different options from breakfast and foods and they still are adding more to the menu! I ate the Nutella Frensh toast with fruit and they served like 4 of them and a Montes Burrito and it was HUGE! Both were an amazing portion for just $20. The coffee also is very good! Everything about this restaurant is authentic and the service is very good as well“
“All Locations are great! Love the deals and discounts they provide! First time in the Lacey location. Food is amazing, it tastes so fresh and not frozen like other places. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. We talked to someone the staff and they are great, friendly and personable, you don’t see the often. I like to look at reviews and see if it’s worth and I’ve seen good and bad review especially about service and I experience really good service. The owner was in Lacey today and I was very pleased with him. It’s worth visiting. They also decorate for holidays and do special for holidays, making it more family friend type of vibes.Parking: Parking in Front and backKid-friendliness: Staff was great !“
“If you like Mexican chain food restaurants this is the place to go. The inside of the restaurant was nice. A little weird that they had Spanish music outside the restaurant, but indoors, you felt like you were in a techno club. This is not authentic Mexican food for those who enjoy the taste of a good home cooked meal.“
“I've tried quite a few things from Mark's, from sausage, egg and cheese to cheesesteaks to Reubens. All the food is cooked right in front of you with love and attention to quality. Definitely fresh,great tasting food at reasonable prices. I highly recommend.“
“We were two couples and we wanted to try Taco Town on route 9 in Beachwood. Taco Town is a small restaurant that is immaculate, cute tables and the best Mexican food I have ever had. All of the dishes were authentic, nice portions and sooo delicious. For dessert, we ordered churros that were made fresh with vanilla ice cream and were fantastic. Taco Town is a BYOB and we enjoyed wine with dinner.If you're looking for great Mexican food I highly recommend Taco Town in Beachwood.“
“Nick and his team at Tacoholics are fantastic. Until we moved to this area almost two years ago, we had never been to or heard of this restaurant. Now, we make it almost a once-a-week trip for dinner with our boys. The food is always made fresh, tastes better than any specialty taco should, comes with crispy tortilla chips, and to top off the experience… the best service you could imagine. It’s tough bringing two young boys out places for dinner but they love it here! Thank you to everyone at this location. See you next week!“
“Talk about kicking ourselves! My husband and I live right by La Cazuela de Doña Mary and drive past it all the time. Finally decided to try it, and let me tell you, HUGE mistake waiting so long!We have been craving authentic Mexican after our recent trip, and everything we ordered absolutely hit the spot. The chilaquiles brought back memories of delicious breakfasts south of the border. The friendly service was the icing on the cake – attentive and helpful, they made us feel right at home. We can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!“
“Taco Tastic isn't just a name, it is the truth. The food is superb Mexican style take out and easily accessible on the road, parking can be right on busy nights but well worth it. Best in The area so far and way above the chain stores or boardwalk prices.“
“I cannot describe in words how great of a place Bubbakoo’s Burritos is. I would say I average Bubbakoo’s for dinner at least twice a week, and I have never been disappointed in my life. I get a variety of items off their menu, and each item has been served hot and fresh. The place is very clean and the employment is top notch. I get greeted with a “hello” and as I exit they say “have a nice day”“
“I had bought lunch yesterday and it was amazing but this review isn’t about that. They have a banana shaped wet floor sign. I asked the employee about it and he said it was some prototype auction thing that they got tried looking for it again online and couldn’t find it. I took it the time to look for it. For the bubbakoos employees and everyone that sees this…. You can find it on Amazon for $50. You’re welcome ☺️“
“awesome restaurant. drove by this place and decided to drop in! after living in Fl, I have been on the hunt for authentic tacos in NJ. these are definitely it!! the free chips and salsa was nice too. the staff were friendly with great service. I will definitely return.“
“It was an online order that was ready when I got there. Food was warm when I got home, container was filled to the brim and it was delicious. I walked in the store to pick it up, the place was clean and had nice music playing and I was greeted with a friendly hello.“
“If you’re looking for FRESH, HOMEMADE AND MADE WITH LOVE Mexican Food... this is the spot!! My family and I tried it today for the first time and it will NOT be our last! Portions are so huge you literally have leftovers for the next day, everything was fresh for each order and the salsas are on point! Even their avocados were perfect (no browning, no mush) and their wait staff was professional and kind and that’s a plus!! We ordered the al pastor and carnitas tacos (were fantastic and tender), tostadas (huge portion fresh crispy tostada and meat was tender), Bistec Rancho (huge portion and steak was cooked perfectly along with the sides that it came with being really good) and we ordered two Cemita sandwiches (we literally could’ve gotten away with ordering one because they’re the size of your face literally but both were freaking awesome) I’m telling you our table looked like a buffet and there was enough for everyone to share there own food AND still have leftovers!!!! I recommend this place 1000%“
“Found this restaurant by chance coming off the Garden State Parkway. Great customer service and tasty food! They had quite a number of customers dining in, yet the order came surprisingly fast. Servings are big - you will likely have leftovers!“
“The site requires info on a visit which I must fill in just to post....Though I haven't been there.... but . Noticing someone posted an "insect" pic . & Yes I know what it is.. After being in the restaurant business for 20 yrs now retired. For those that do Not know. . Those creatures in most cases have NOTHING to do , or at least not as often as one would think with the cleanliness of a place . They also love the glue on packaging tape....its like caviar to them. Just saying ! .... & You think rabbits multiply,,,,,!“
“If you love authentic tacos and Mexican food they will bring you back for more! The fish tacos and golden tacos with steak are awesome with fresh cilantro and of course with corn tortillas! They have a menu you just want to order everything on it ! A+ in my book!!!!!“
“I randomly had a delivery order from here, and I hit the jackpot. This food was absolutely amazing. I AM IN HEAVEN. I was not prepared for food this delicious, my taste buds were attacked. Chile relleno, al pastor tacos, elotes, rice and beans. I was in cozumel 5 days ago and this was like I had never left. If anyone needs me, I'll be in a food coma.“
