We've rounded up Perth Amboy's top Mexican spots for you to try.
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“Perfect late night spot in Perth Amboy especially if your just leaving the club. They make literally almost every Spanish dish you could want. The food comes out fast and the servers take good care of you. The ambiance is relaxed and you get to watch Spanish shows while you eat your free chips and salsa. If any other review is negative disregard it because TRUST ME with this place. I'm a regular.“
“Ordered a cemita de carne asada with fries on the side, a Jarrito and a Squirt Soda, and it wasn't it.... total was $27.50. The bread wasn't your usual cemita bun, and meat was tasteless, and the cemita itself was pretty small for a cemita. The service was great, and the actual location was a whole vibe. I wouldn't order the same if returned. Maybe I'll do another menu item in the future... I have hope!“
“The food was very good with great portions for the price. Definitely authentic. The only downside is they make their consomé for the birria very different. Not what I was expecting.Vegetarian options: They have some options that do not contain meat.“
“This is my favorite taco spot in all of Perth Amboy. The Tacos are always LOADED!! the meat is delicious and rich and the ambiance of the place is a whole vibe! I will say that their horchata is a hit or miss. Some data’s it’s thick and rich. Other days like today, it tastes like straight sweet water. Really puts the agua on agua fresca if you know what I mean. That criticism aside though, the establishment is very clean and it’s a well kept store. The service is awesome, prices are reasonable and they have a lot of stuff to offer. I do highly recommend the steak tacos with everything on it (which is what I got) and the chicken flautas! They are amazing. Also, just to answer any questions; today I was on a walk with my dog. I called and they let me in to pay with my dog. So they are dog friendly in my book, but always call to make sure if you are ever walking by with your pet and want to grab a bite.“
“So delicious! Second time we order and I have to say it's fantastic! Got the steak tacos and Steak quesadilla and also a burrito. Too late to take pics as we ate it all fairly quickly. Flavors are great and portions are also more than enough . Found my new taco and burrito place for sure!. Homemade guacamole was also so tasty.“
“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.“
“I have tried about about every Mexican restaurant in the area and this one I just keep coming back to every meal I have tried so far has been good specially the birria tacos and their marisco soup is something else just really good.the service is always great they treat you as if they know you very nice people.“
“(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 must say this is a little hidden gem in Perth Amboy for Mexican food. Mostly Spanish speaking but its ok. They are super friendly and I am in love with their quesadillas as they make the tortillas fresh for the quesadillas which make them super delicious, everything made fresh to order. The prices are definitely great. They also have natural juices which are a plus in my book. Green juice!!!“
“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.“
“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.“
