Restaurantji's Keyport Mexican restaurant picks are here.
“If you are in the area and are looking for a great place to eat with nice quaint ambiance and delicious cocktails try Garibaldi Restaurant. From its various dishes both healthy and delectable to it’s clean restrooms and great customer service, I am sure you will enjoy this restaurant.“
“AMAZING!!! Only way to describe it from start to finish!There was a bit of an issue with the printed menu and the online menu. It appears the printed menu is a little out of date and some of the items are not on the website. Perhaps they will either update one or the other.Aside from that, there was a bit of a language barrier when ordering over the phone but nothing horrible.The food was as authentic as you can possibly get. The burritos were flavorful and big. Everything was delicious!!!I would heavily recommend this restaurant.“
“Haven't been here for awhile. The lady prefers the flautas at Taco Stop in South Amboy. I don't recommend that place. Los Corrales IS SO MUCH BETTER! Best Al Pastor I've had in NJ. The burrito is chock full of al pastor, with grilled onions/red peppers and Oaxacan Cheese.$14 included the burrito with Mexican rice and black beans and a bottle of Coke. Excellent deal.There are 3 really good Mexican Restaurants in Keyport. This one is the best of the three! Homemade tortillas ftw!“
“I’ve been going to Tropico for many years, and it has always been an incredible experience. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions, great flavor, and fair prices. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into their dishes, making it feel like a home cooked meal every time. I have been to other authentic Mexican restaurants closer to my home, but none quite compare to Tropico. I will certainly make the drive here for their top tier quality. Thank you Tropico for many years of great food and service! This restaurant is truly valued in the community.“
“Run don't walk to La Hacienda Restaurant.It's a small place, but big on flavor and excellent service.Complimentary fresh made chips with 4 different salsas were brought out as we were greeted by our sever. We started with Guacamole con Tostones, the guacamole was creamy and delicious Tostones crispy and still soft in the center. Presentation was awesome, see photos. We also shared a flaky beef empanada that was simple but so good.For dinner I had Beef Birria Tacos and my wife ordered a Beef Birria Bowl with rice and beans. Both of these were to die for. Excellent flavor and generous portions.I wanted to try the tres leches that looked so moist in the counter window but I didn't save any room.We're already planning our next trip back to try the other delicious choices on their menu, and I'm going to try and save room for dessert.“
“This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever found. Food is excellent and the service is superb. And the prices no one can beat. Rueben and the staff are top notch. Our whole family was blessed and God gave us a great experienceYou must go“
“First time ordering. Ordered online. 3 out 4 sandwiches were on point. The other one we were not happy with. There was no option to add or remove ingredients. The picture of the sandwich had lettuce tomato and onion on it and that’s what we wanted. When the food arrived that one sandwich was dry. No lettuce tomato onion or mayo. Update the online services to customize the deli sandwiches and I’ll give 5 stars. Cuban panini was on point “
“This is not my first time at this place the food was great and they have really nice customer service they have plenty of parking which was nice I came with the family and we ordered the birria burrito which was really good and the guacamole it was really fresh! I really recommend coming to eat hereKid-friendliness: highchairs for little kids and meals“
“Though no one was answering the phone there to see if it was open, we ventured on a Wednesday night around 630 before a show at the Count Basie. Walked in and a less than handful of folks at the small bar. No one at the tables. I had to trust the Yelp reviews. Two people seemed to be working, and I believe one was manager and chef. Menu was nice and service was attentive and friendly. The guac was very generous and very good. The entrees had a lot going on on the plate. Fish, rice, corn, salad, veggies, Brussel sprouts, asparagus. A very large serving plate. Could tell care went into the food presentation. Will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem that deserves a spotlight.“
“Ordered food for a family party and EVERYONE at the party loved the food. They delivered the food to our home and couldn’t have been nicer. I had never even eaten there before and decided to support a local business and I’m so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. HIGHLY “
“We stopped in for dinner based on an Instagram post I saw about the Birria tacos being awesome. While I agree the pricing is a bit high you can tell the ingredients are fresh and good quality....they haven't been sitting under a heat lamp for 8 hours. The staff was super friendly! We had the birria tacos which were soooo delicious they melt in your mouth! Fresh salsa and chips and a couple of street tacos....all very delicious and fresh!! We will definitely be back for more!!! Give this place a try....its worth it!“
“My family and I had a great time the waitress was really nice. The food was delicious. once we were done me and my family couldn’t get up that’s how delicious and filling the food was. I would really recommend this place to eat for dinner.“
“The food is very tasty! I ordered an outer reef burrito with tofu and Cajun beans. I thought it was very good. Great for a quick bite when shopping.Vegetarian options: They offer tofu, mushrooms, and a veggie mix to substitute meat in their dishes.“
“Oh my gosh this place is delicious !! This is a must try place . The server was amazing and even the cooks were so nice and smiling from the back :) the food was so delicious !! The guacamole was some of the best I have ever had !! I don’t even like burritos but stole a bite of my boyfriends and it was sooooo good! I had the chicken quesadilla and would highly recommend that too !There is a small kids menu also :)“
“The kid was craving Mexican food so we searched Yelp and found that this place has good reviews. The photos of the food looked good. We decided to try it. There is no parking lot for this place. There is a Municipal parking lot about one block over behind the post office. We lucked out as there was street parking directly in front of the restaurant. We ordered agua de Jamaica. Huge glass for $4.95. I would guess that it's 16-20 ounces. Gigantic. Well priced. We ordered guacamole which was good too. They didn't give us any salsa for the table like they do at other Mexican joints. For our mains, we ordered their mixed fajitas with shrimp chicken and beef. It was about $21 and it was a huge dish. It's not the usually fajitas that I've had at other places. Theirs comes in a delicious sauce which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a generous portion and the flavors were on point. We recommend it. Our other dish was the El Rinconcito which came with grilled items: pork cutlets, beef, chicken, shrimps cactus, Spanish cheese rice and beans. It was an alright eight. We prefer the saucy fajita dish more. We def plan to go back. Next time, we are going to order their molcajete which is listed at $34.95 so I assume it'll be a huge dish for two based on the price. From the owners description, it Comes with all kinds of meats steak chicken shrimp pork sausage. I'm trying my best not to go back two days in a row but I may swing by for Lunch later. Good is good as is service. Good came out quick and she asked a few times whether we needed anything else. I believe they give some sort of cash discount or charge to use credit card because she asked how I was paying. They add an auto tip of 15% which I didn't mind. Gave her a few bucks more. All in all, it was a good meal. Appears to be a small mom and pop store and I'm happy to support local small business. It helps that the food is delicious too.“
“Stumbled on kitchen Tex mex when our regular Mexican place wasn’t open yet. How fortunate for us! The food is excellent and fresh and very affordable. The chips are not salty. A variety of tasty salsas. So good we went back 3 times in a week. It will be our new regular place.In those 3 visits there were few people eating. So I hope more customers enjoy this find so they don’t go out of business!“
“Order takeout from this restaurant for the first time tonight. Chips and salsa were good. Chips were plentiful and thin and crispy and the salsa was chunky and juicy. I just wish they gave more salsa as we had excess chips and not enough salsa. Barbacoa chimichanga burrito was delicious and very filling. Pulled pork sliders as an appetizer were good too. Maduros were delicious. Apple empanadas were absolute favorite will definitely be ordering years with every order in the future. Only disappointing food item were the chicken tostadas. These are a staple for me at every Mexican restaurant I visit. I know each restaurant makes them different. I just didn’t prefer they were the way they were made here. This restaurant made them with chunks of grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, and shredded cheese. Overall it was a good experience. I just wouldn’t order the chicken tostadas again in the future.“
“Love the food, Love the service, Atmosphere, is where ever this truck it at. Love the food, love the service love the people.It is so good we ate lunch with the crew then found them a few towns over and had dinner with them. NOW, where will they be next and for us not to be like a stalker.“
“This place is so cute! The decore is great and the lit up corner its on definitely catches your attention. The food...oh the food is delicious! We did take out once and had to go to the restaurant and check it out. We were not disappointed! Family favorite is the burritos! Definitely recommend for dine in or take out.Parking: Parking is limited in the back of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: My kid ate the food and he's a super picky eater.“
“Overall: top place for Authentic Mexican food! Prices are perfect, portions were huge, service was so kind. Food: the sampler was huge and had so much to try! The Birria Tacos were filled! Maybe a little more salt but the sopa was perfect. Churros crunchy and sweet comes with 4 and an ice cream scoop. The chocoflan is a special and they only have it sometimes. If they have it try it! Service: the restaurant owner was so kind and showed us pictures of all the foods. Inside: nice pop Mexican music, originals, and remixes. They also have outside seating.“
“What a great local restaurant. My son recommended we go, he had only ordered delivery and wanted to try dining in. Very very good. Server was friendly and attentive. The chips and salsas came out as soon as we sat and were so good. Loved the salsa verde. I had asked for no onions in my meal and the waitress thought to ask about onions in the guacamole after we added that on afterwards. It was nice that she remembered my preference. And came out with extra chips to go with it without us needing to ask. We both ordered Tacos Mexicanos. One vegetable and the other chorizo. Happy to say the vegetables were not just peppers and onions but included zucchini and broccoli. Lots of cilantro, which I love. It was so tasty. All 3 tacos are in double tortillas. Great to make an extra taco with anything that may have fallen out or just insurance it holds together. We ordered horchata as our drink which was also quite delicious. Everything was fresh, and reasonably priced on top of all of that, just fantastic. I'd definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Many items include your choice of filling so vegetables are always an option for so many things on the menu.“
“I've eaten in a lot of Mexican restaurants especially in Trenton. The shrimp tacos were delicious. They were so good I could have eaten two orders. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos. I would like to add everything was fresh and tasted homemade. It's rare to find takeout this fresh.“
“The best quality food and drinks. Great ambiance. One of my favorite places!Vegetarian options: Several vegan certified options.Parking: Large lot for parking Always a packed house but not uncomfortable.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs!“
“Today's Visit, March 28th, 2023Unable to pin ? our current location on Facebook, but Google Maps can, for First Breakfast on the return to Medic Unit #1201 for the start of the 8 week rotation.The Atlantic Bagel Company has a spot just across from the Train Station.Today's sandwich was a Bacon, Egg, Cheese, Jalapeno Peppers on a toasted Hard Roll with SPK...It definitely was delicious and a more reasonable price than one of my sandwiches during the last 2 shift's on Medic Unit #1201...This was a good start on the shift with a uninterrupted meal!!!“
“One of the best fajitas I've ever had.I had the one that came with chicken, sausage, and shrimp. They made it with a homemade sauce that was really tasty. They have homemade hot sauce red and green.The other dishes for everyone in our party looked really good. I'm looking forward to going back.“
“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we’ve been to so far.The food, decor and people are as authentic as they can possibly be.The food is always fresh, we typically go there for an evening meal, but tried their breakfast the other day and were blown away yet again.Highly recommended if you’re craving Mexican.BYOB your own liquor of choice to mix with their tea.“
“We went to a football experience. They had a football special menu. Mixed Titos for 5 bucks. So we consumed eight on the rocks. Only to find out that on the rocks is full price. This is not properly explained anywhere. Not even from the two bartenders. Who were very nice, but did not help the situation one bit. Thanks a bunch.“
“When it comes to Mexican cuisine, this is the spot where you should spend your money. Small location but suitable for a party of 4. I mean, you just have to make a stop and try for yourself. The price is also great for the food you're getting. Try it out.“
“My wife and I were attending a comedy show across the street, and we wanted to grab a bite before the show. The ambiance is very cozy as it's a small restaurant. The service was fast and attentive. You can tell it's a mom and pop restaurant, and it was in the flavor of the food. Everything was tasty. I won't drive 90 minutes to come back, but if I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back.“
“Had dinner here last night for the first time after hearing great reviews of the place for years. We were a party of 4 couples. Tino himself kept an eye on us and made sure we were well served. Large portions, beautiful outdoor dining area, excellent service, and incredible value.“
“We went to Alfonso’s following my parents’ wedding for a small dinner. The service was absolutely incredible, all the servers were so attentive and friendly. They went above and beyond to create a fun and memorable experience for us. They cut and served a wedding cake and also played the wedding song for my parents. We had the best time and truly were so grateful to the servers for their attentiveness! We all loved our meals. The tacos were a hit and so were the quesadillas. Drinks were also tasty and they were very accommodating to offering vegetarian alternatives as well! I will absolutely recommend Anthony’s to anyone wanting to have a delicious dinner and memorable time !“

“(Translated by Google) A unique experience I give it five stars because the food made me feel like I was in my Mexico, beautiful dear everything was perfect, the sandals, the quesadillas, the ? tacos are very good the tortillas are freshly made by hand ???(Original)Una experiencia única le doy cinco estrellas porque la comida me hizo sentir como si estuviera en mi México, hermoso querido todo estuvo perfecto, las huaraches , las quesadillas, los ? tacos son muy buenos las tortillas son recién hechas amano ???“

“I go on Tuesdays because it's Taco Day and it's a very good promotion but it has a wide assortment of dishes that are just as delicious. I'm Mexican and the Mexican food is not what you expect but this place is good and has great service. I would say wonderful, jovial, they ship quickly and above all, very good service.“
“The food is fresh and delicious. The service is quick and the girl working in the front is super sweet and friendly. Their dishes are also very cheap yet filling. Are usually have the steak fajitas. It comes with rice and beans, lettuce, pico, sour cream and two tortillas on the side. I recently ordered nachos with guacamole, and those were fresh, crispy and to die for! The only reason I waited there atmosphere to stars is because they’re not focused on dine in. It is an option, however, most people take out or get it delivered. Overall I love fresh tortillas and would recommend.“
“The staff there has always been super friendly and adheres to your requests. The food has always been superb. Fresh and hot even when ordering right before they close. Always happy to make your experience enjoyable.Parking: Plenty of parking spots. Conveniently located.“
“Shrimp in mole sauce is delicious. Just spicy enough to make it interesting. A medley of spices blended together in a thick, dark sauce. I find it addictive. Chili rellenos stuffed with cheese then battered and fried. The batter is light and completely non-greasy. I get them covered in a tangy, fresh verde sauce that I have been ordering for years. The entrees come with rice and beans. Sometimes it is juicy black beans and sometimes creamy refried pinto beans. The service is always, prompt, polite and friendly. We mainly get take out these days because hubby picks it up on his way home from work. The orders are always complete and ready when expected.“
“Torres Cafe never disappoints. I get lunch there often and also get catering a few times per year. The service is great, food is great, and pricing is reasonable to proportion. You can dine in or sit outside in the warmer months. If I could give a 10 star rating I would.“
“It's a nice and authentic restaurant, the food was very delicious, it was a shame that they didn't have soap in restroom, and all the taco sauces were spicy , we wish there was at least one non-spicy sauce, the prices were very good, I recommend “
“Today was my first time visiting this establishment. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our server approached us immediately and was very polite and friendly. We were given chips and salsa that were so fresh and tasty. We ordered our appetizers and drinks and our meals. Everything came out staggered and in a timely fashion. The tortilla soup was to die for. The chicken wings with the dry rub were the best wings I have ever eaten. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla and the rice and beans side dish. The food was so fresh and tasty. The staff were all so polite and attentive. The prices are fantastic. I will definitely be visiting this restaurant again and again. Thanks for the amazing experience.“
“I’ve been going to Rico Taco for years now and have never had a bad experience. The food is always on point and the service is quick and consistent. I love going there and sitting in the dining room, the food is always fresh and delicious. Their guacamole with their homemade chips and their Colombian empanadas are my absolute favorite.Vegetarian options: They have a good amount of vegetarian options like corn smut.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and plenty of stuff for kids to eat.“
“This place is great!!! Truly authentic cuisine with plenty of options to choose from. Portions are generous and the staff is friendly. The enchiladas verdes have the right amount of heat(spice) and if you are looking for a spicier option, go with the steak enchiladas verdes! Overall, great quality food.“
“Had my daughter's 3rd Birthday lunch here 3/9 and was pleasantly surprised.We were going to be a large party of about 25, so I called a few days ahead and they said they could accommodate us at the time frame we needed, with a 2 hour sitting. Perfect.Staff was friendly and thorough. We were seated within 10 minutes of our arrival. It was about 2:30ish and not crowded yet. We had 1 server, which concerned me, we dine in large groups often and usually have at least 2. Alexandra was AWESOME all around. Sorry I doubted you! :)Drinks came out quick and were TASTY. All the Moms needed Margarita after being at Build A Bear with a bunch of toddlers. Food was good as well. All the orders were hot and accurate.Thank you for the great service! We'll definitely be back again....without the kiddies LOLParking: Plenty of parking. Be careful the driveway to pull in sneaks up on you coming off Rt.1Kid-friendliness: They offer the standard crayons and coloring menu. I like that all kids meals come with an entrée, drink and ice cream. Alexandra was great at taking the kids orders/special requests“
“(Translated by Google) First time here. I liked the Sopes. They were made by hand and arrived at my table hot. They were delicious.(Original)Primera vez aqui. Me gustaron los Sopes. Fueron hecho a manos y llegaron a mi mesita calientes. Estaban Ricos.“
“We couldn't enjoy El Patio anymore than we do....every time we go there. The owners are passionate about their establishment and it comes through in aces with regards to their food, drink and service. It's always such a great mix of patrons from the local community and passing through travelers. Live music is a definite plus. We absolutely love El Patio and are glad to be repeat customers.“
“I really like the food. It’s perfectly cooked and well put together.I wish that I could have the option to order online without the use of doordash because I know doordash takes 10-20% of the commission from restaurants, same goes with other delivery apps but with a higher percentage.I think this will be my new favorite spot to go to for bistec encebollado torta because the location is pretty close and convenient. The pricing is also fair and reasonable. But most importantly, it’s sooo delicious, fulfilling, semi-healthy!?“
“I have no expertise on what Mexican candies or treats "should" taste like, but I do know that my Mangonada was exceptional and I have been searching high and low for a place near me to get more. If you're a fan of Mexican treats, definitely check this place out. The staff was absolutely lovely!“
“It was good ordered the Birria and fish the fish was really gross but the Birria was pretty good good enough to give them four stars solely based on the beef tacos. They also didn’t put cheese avocado or sour cream on it even tho we paid for it. It was a little pricey but I’d probably get it again“
“I found Felicita on my way home on google map. I had a personal pizza with sausage & peppers. Other than the fact that the dough tasted very salty it was the best sausage & peppers pizza ever! I want to try the Tamale on weekend soon. Maybe cut back on salt in the batter mix?“
