Uncover Manalapan's Mexican dining scene with Restaurantji's insights.
“I highly recommend this Qdoba location. Since it opened, I have eaten inside as well as done takeout on several occasions. The food has always been very fresh. And the portions are healthy. The service and the staff are commendable. The manager, Alex, is always exceptionally friendly and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend the Birria and the queso, as they are by far my favorites“
“I came here for the first time after moving to the area and was so impressed with the food. Everything was fresh and delicious. The servers were understaffed (like everywhere else), but they did not stop running around and ensuring we had what we needed. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes.“
“We had never been to a Bubbakoo’s Burritos location before, but my sister wanted to eat something other than American food, and we were going to the mall, so we found this place. It reminded us of a Chiptole/Moes, where they make the food in front of you, but honestly, this was a lot better than Chiptole and Moes. First of all, the value of the food is incredible because of the amount of food you get. The food was also delicious and prepared pretty quickly. I got a quesadilla with shredded chicken, and it was PACKED with meat and cheese. Out of the three people in my party, we got one combo which came with our choice of curly fries. We struggled to eat our meals AND share the one order of curly fries. In fact, I think the quesadilla could have really been two meals on its own. The food was very flavorful, and there are a lot of different options for making your food. The people working were awesome and super nice. I definitely would come back to visit again!“
“First time trying this place, went out with family. With so many places to eat in boro it’s easy to overlook but this place had great food, great light background music, and fast charming service. Serving sizes were perfect, the chimichanga was bangin, no wallet pain either. Will definitely eat here “
“The food was so delicious that I forgot to capture pictures. The chicken milenese was some of the thinnest and tenderest cutlets I've had in my life. The portion was enough for 2 meals at least. The smoky salsa was unique and delicious. It came in medium and then there was a hotter version . My husband was in love with his birria tacos. They have freshly made aqua frescas as well as horchata! We had the hibiscus and the watermelon...both delicious. The atmosphere is casual. The dining area and counter have a fun and quirky decor. There is a life size day of the dead skeleton dressed in traditional garments that was really cool. I really wish I took pictures because words are not enough. Try this place!!“
“This place is amazing I went there based on the reviews I was a bit nervous as my family and I love Mexican food and we have our fav spot but we were ready to explore soemthing new and let me tell you this is THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD is simple but delicious the tortillas were so fresh and the chips and salsa verde WOW it was a party in my mouth. We loved it and its definitely our #1 spot. Alfredo the owner sat and talked to us and was super friendly also. We really recommend this place. ?“
“Whenever I am in the area, this Mexican deli is my go to stop! Lots of my Mexican restaurant only give three tacos in the order BUT this place does four. It has been years since I found a place that does 4 tacos in a order! 100% recommend the tacos from this place and picadas. The only down part of this place is the dining, there are only a couple of tables and in the weekend it is usually hard to find one. I have been very lucky and have always found a table but I have seen others. The owner of this restaurant shows great hospitality and is attentive to customers.“
“A warm weather day calls for an outdoor dinner at Maria's! Got my usual go to which is Maria's Burrito. A regular burrito but drenched in their mole sauce. Then I add their la diabla sauce on top to make it spicy. Chefs Kiss. The shrimp la diabla is also a good go to and that thing packs heat! The residential cat was out and about. I'm pretty sure I saw it last time I dined outside too. The cat is real chill. It just roams. A side note: they updated the look of their menu. Reorganized the flow of items, text size, and prices.“
“This is an absolutely wonderful Tex-Mex restaurant. The lunch menu is an incredibly good value; there's a lot of flavor and great food packed onto those plates. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying new dishes!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options for most dishesParking: If there's open spots, park behind the CVS on Main St“
“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!“
