“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“Absolutely love this place! Our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable on everything on the menu. Yes EVERYTHING!! I personally don’t like beets but everyone I was with said they were to die for. Meatballs were amazing. The tomato sauce was so yummy. Mushrooms I would label as vegetarian steak. Beautifully charred. The sausage and peppers pasta dish is my favorite thing on the menu. I love everything about it. Pasta is always perfectly cooked. I can’t say enough good things about this place!”

“The best vegan, gluten free ice cream and baked goods in NJ! It’s a safe space for a child or person with allergies to sit and eat a delicious treat. Every one will enjoy the ice cream!!! The owners are always friendly and welcoming.”

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10”

“During our short stay in the area, we chose to dine here as it was one of the few restaurants open on a Monday. We had an excellent meal, with starter and main course which were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and very caring towards my elderly mother. Thank you in particular to Adam for his help with organising the taxi for us .”

“Oaxaca Taco’s is hands-down one of the best spots I’ve ever been to! The food is absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. Every bite tastes authentic and you can really tell they put care into the ingredients and preparation.

On top of that, the service is unmatched. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and goes out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. It’s rare to find a place that balances amazing food with such genuine hospitality, but Oaxaca Taco’s delivers both effortlessly.

If you’re looking for a spot that combines top-tier flavors with top-tier service, look no further. Oaxaca Taco’s truly sets the standard, and I can’t recommend it enough!
-Mike!”

“Such a fantastic experience at No Limits Cafe today. My daughter and I had the best burgers today with delicious tater tots, not to mention fantastic service! We were lucky to have Claire helping us today. She was really awesome. She was pleasant, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Claire and No Limits Cafe for a truly wonderful girls lunch today. As the mom of a special needs person, the work that NLC does makes me feel a bit choked up every time I go. I see the wonderful things the staff are doing and it brings me hope that kids like mine will be fortunate to have opportunities to work at places so full of support and visited by so many people like my family who are fans in the stands supporting the great things happening. Keep on doing the work you do supporting people of all abilities. We need more of this!”
