34 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ocean City

“Truly amazing Mexican food — both authentic and American style available, which is great because it makes everyone happy. The last 3 days I’ve been down here working, I’ve come to Rojo’s twice. I plan to come again Tuesday when I’m back down here working! I’m usually incredibly loyal to my Mexican place in Hammonton, but Rojo’s has me rethinking everything. The owner is super cool, too. I had the chance to talk with him during both trips and it’s really not surprising that Joe has had this place all of these years. I have my to-go bag right beside me, about to tear in, but I HAD to make sure I left them a review first.“

“We enjoyed an excellent and reasonably priced dinner at the beach. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was delicious! The only downside for us is that the Mexican food that we previously enjoyed at home will now pale in comparison.“

“On our vacation trip to ocean city NJ we decided on Mexican food for dinner one night. We had heard of El Guacamole earlier in the year so we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and expertly prepared. Portions were large and the price was what I would have expected to pay at a Jersey shore restaurant. Five of us got entrees with additional sides and the bill was $130. Pictured is an assortment of dishes; tacos enchiladas and sides. Ocean City finally has a really good Mexican restaurant. Nice dining room and outdoor seating is available as well.“

“If you're on the hunt for a fiesta on your plate, El Tacuate is where you want to be! The food? Pretty darn good! While the prices might make your wallet do a little shimmy, the portions are so massive that you'll likely leave with a doggy bag (or two!).

Both my dining partner and I were defeated by our generous servings—seriously, it's like they want you to take a siesta afterward! The flavors were vibrant, and each bite felt like a mini celebration of Mexico.

So, if you’re ready to indulge in some hearty portions and vibrant flavors, El Tacuate is worth a visit. Just bring your appetite and maybe a friend to help tackle those plate-sized portions!“

“Once again Randi and the staff at TacocaT did a phenomenal job catering our party Friday night. Randi always helps me find the right quantity to order: cheesesteak egg rolls , tuna poke platters, nachos and build your own tacos made for an easy and plentiful dinner for over 20. Everything was hot- fresh and memorable . Our guests could not stop raving. Think of TacocaT for your next house party. This is my third time using them for catering and can’t wait to host our next hang out.“

If we are in the area again we shall return!“

“Bubbaroo’s Burritos – A Great First-Time Experience!

I recently visited Bubbaroo’s Burritos for the first time, and it was such a great experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was super helpful in explaining the menu and making recommendations since it was my first visit.

The crispy chicken nachos and chiwawa I ordered was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was more than generous. I loved how customizable everything was there’s something for everyone here.

The restaurant itself was clean and had a chill vibe, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing food to go, you can tell they take pride in both the food and the customer experience.

Overall, Bubbaroo’s Burritos left a great first impression on me. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu. Highly recommend it if you’re in the mood for a flavorful, satisfying meal!“
