Stopped here from work, and was not expecting such amazing food on a Friday afternoon! Service was extremely fast and their ambience including seating was more than sufficient! Never had a chimichanga before but this was delicious!
Great find! The meat is amazing. Seems to be family owned and friendly. Small store front restaurant but excellent food
I really thought this place was very good. We had the chicken tacos and it wasn't smothered in sauce. Perfectly seasoned and accompanied with a light salsa. Counter service was quick. Definitely plan on returning.
Carnitas burrito, chicken chimichanga, chicken fajita tacos ... all delicious! This place is really good and all items we had were fantastic! Rice and beans were good and the guacamole was also great. The pork was something I look forward to getting again , I also loved the fajitas. The only negative, which I would deduct 1/2 star would be that they charge extra for salsa a hot sauce and they don't give you any ,they did give some pico with the chimichanga but it was awful, watery onions and sone tomatoes. Their some hot sauces on the table that is sufficient but it's bottled. Definitely go here ! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.
A friend and I actually went to a restaurant for a lunch next to Tacos by the Shore but we noticed several people were waiting for the food so we walked over there and so glad we did. The lady behind the counter was so gracious to walk us through the process of ordering. This is a build your own taco place. We ordered three shrimp tacos and they were delicious! My husband and i are visiting from out of town but next time we are here we will be visiting Tacos by the Shore again.
Great place if you're having a taste for Mexican food - portions are generous and flavorful! Prices are excellent for the portion sizes which are huge! Always freshly made and delicious!
Top notch Mexican food! We stopped in for lunch and from the moment we walked in I knew it was going to be good. The women working the front were so nice and friendly and helpful with the recommendations. We got gauc which was delicious, chicken, pork, and beef tacos. All we're delicious, I liked the steak and my husband liked the la pastor the best. They have outdoor seating that was very spacious and comfortable. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all. We cannot wait to go back and try out the birra tacos!
Welcome to another addition of my 15 year old daughter's quest to finding the best Birra Taco If you haven't seen my previous post, I'll explain. She tried Birra Tacos for the 1st time in TX during the summer of 2021 and ever since everywhere we go she trys the local Birra. So far Texas and Carneys Point NJ is her favorite. Today she gave Tacos by the Shore in Rio Grand NJ a try. We called and ordered one order of Birra, one order of of guacamole and chips, and my son who is 11 years old, and eats like an 11 year year old, order steak tacos (11 year old version which is soft taco, steak, sour cream and Mexican cheese) They were polite on the phone and told us order would be ready in 10 minutes. Cool! My daughter said, "how cute" when we parked in front of Tacos by the Shore and ya know what? She was right, it's a cute little place with a surfing taco on the sign. Inside was clean and our order was ready as promised. We received a hello and a thank you from the friendly employee at the register. On our way home the car was filled with a mouth watering smell that made me regret not ordering anything for myself! We got home and my family all tried the chips and guacamole. Everyone agreed the guacamole was very good and the chips were all full size, very little broken crumbs that can't be used to dip. You may think that what my son ordered is impossible to mess up, unfortunately that's not always the case, but today he was happy with his steak soft taco. Being a good dad I had to sample the steak, it was flavorful but on the dry side. I liked that it was cut small because it was easier to keep the meat in the taco. The side off rice was very good better than most places. My daughter enjoyed the Birra Tacos, she would have liked if the outside of the taco had less cheese on it but she was very pleased with the taste overall and the dipping sauce was way better then her last experience while we were in Rhode Island. The sauce was full of chunky onions and her opinion the sauce is very important when it comes to enjoying a Birra Taco. She ranked this Birra Taco as a close 2nd to her favorite. We will be visiting again and trying different menu items I will be sure to post.
Hubby loved the enchiladas con verde salsa con carne asada. The food tasted authentic and believe me, he's a harsh critic being a native Mexican! Excellent portion size and value for your money!
