Plaza Tapatia

This is the best and most authentic Mexican food ever and especially around us! Food is always so fresh and delicious, service is always great no matter how busy they are. Food comes out super quick, drinks are always made perfectly as well!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The service is great, the workers are so friendly, and the food is AMAZING! My favorite thing to get are the chicken fajitas. Delicious! I come multiple times a month.

Definitely a place to visit when your looking for Spanish cuisine. Normally alittle pact when I come, but the wait is worth the food.I believe this was for Valentine’s.

Was giving up on finding a decent Mexican place in New Jersey. When it comes to tacos, I consider myself a connoisseur having eaten at countless taquerias and taco trucks throughout California for several decades. As we sat down, the waitress immediately brought chips and salsa (green and red). Very good! As for drinks, my wife ordered the horchata and I ordered the Tamarindo. The size of the drinks are huge and flavorful. Horchata did not taste pasty and the Tamarindo tasted excellent. For appetizers, we ordered the nachos. Sizable pieces of meat and the plate was not runny with cheese

One of the original authentic Mexican restaurants in this part of New Jersey. Great seafood and amazing soups!

I love taking my wife and enjoying great Mexican food and vibes! I went about a week or so ago and the enchiladas were so good and the horchata was on point. Will be back with the family to spend time together

Food 9/10. Service 5/10. Improvement needed.

Walked in and there was a wait which is expected as the place is small. We were seated and it seemed like we were forgotten about. The staff kept walking past us without glancing over. After 15 minutes, someone finally came by with chips and salsa and said that they would be right back.

Wonderful for chips and salads, but no waters? I asked if they could bring water and that took another 10 minutes. No straws either. I ended up walking to the bar to get my own straws. I wasn't waiting another 10 minutes for that.

The chips and salsa were amazing

Great authentic Mexican food. Hard to find due to being in back of the grocery store.

There were about 8 tables set up outside. There was more than 6 feet of distance between tables. We felt very comfortable and the service was relaxed even though they had a policy of being at a table for no longer than 1 hour and 20 minutes. I had the Fajitas special. It was great and I had to take almost half of it home. I will definitely come back.

Excellent! Delicious authentic tacos and the black beans that came with them were very good. Even the yellow rice was tasty. Everything tasted fresh.
Carmen my waitress was really great!
Can't wait to go back so I can try more dishes on their menu.

We stopped at this place by chance and we are so glad we did! Talking about authentic, fresh and affordable food!!! Great experience! Walking through the supermarket with loads of Mexican merchandise, fresh produce and tons of spices, we discover a café in thé back... Tables are sparce, due to safe distance requirements. We order at thé counter through à plexiglass, 2 orders of mixed tacos; 3 each. We sat at one of thé tables after all, table and chairs are sanitized. After à short wait the order is ready. We head out to get our food and partake in thé many delish sauces offered to enjoy

Camarones a la mexicana
Shrimp Mexican style
Great dish spicy , fresh authentic Mexican flavor !
Food took some time but with the wait .
Will definitely come back !
Tacos al pastor delicious!

This place is as authentic and delicious as it gets for Mexican food down the shore! Offering outdoor seating during COVID times, they are serving up massive portions of fresh food served with fresh tortillas, grilled onions, peppers, and everything is mouth-watering and the perfect cap to your beach day!

I had a platter of Al Pastor (spicy pork with pineapple) tacos that came with a mountain of rice, beans, cheese, and grilled veggies. Needless to say, it was hard to finish and all meals were very reasonably priced.

Cocktails such as their sangria and margaritas are just alright. They are

Amazing! Stumbled in by accident and now one of our favorite restaurants in Nj. Chicken Quesadillas were incredible, one of best cooked pieces of chicken in recent memory. Taco portions impressive especially for the price and everything seemed very high quality and fresh. Loved it and will drive an hour down to eat there again

Would not recommend. Waited over an hour for our food. They give you a spoon of sour cream and then wanna charge you a dollar extra for more. Poorly seasoned steak in tacos. Use gyro meat in the fajitas even though the menu says skirt steak. Didn’t even get our drinks while we waited for our food. Food was cold. Would literally never come back.

Went to asbury beach and was craving tacos since it was taco Tuesday! Was recommended to try this place by a friend of a friend. To be honest I was very skeptical to try this place. But they're a couple of people outside dining here so my friends and I have it a shot.

We started with an order of chips and guac of course. Can't go to a taco spot without trying there guac. The guac was okay. Had to ask for lime to give it more of a taste. What got me was when we got the bill the large size of guac we placed was $16. I was baffled when I saw that price because that's a lot of money

Decent Mexican restaurant with a typical menu you’d expect. Quality of the food was fine but it was missing something as far as flavor was concerned. We all asked for the spiciest level of sauce on our chimichangas and enchilada but found them to be lacking and had to pour a lot of extra sauce on top.

Terrible, slow service and meh food. I am surprised anyone likes this place, and I was very eager to try it.

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant! Here are a few of my favorite things: al pastor chimichanga, chicken mole tamale, and the steak quesadillas. Both the green and red salsa they give you for the table are good. The sangria is AWESOME and I’m picky with sangria. I would recommend the red if you like red and peach if you prefer something lighter.

Summary - great place for a group outing

Had a great experience at Plaza Tapatia recently as a large group of my family (a dozen or so people) gathered together to celebrate my mom's bday. We contacted the restaurant a little ahead of time and they had our tables ready and waiting for us when we arrived.

The restaurant itself is roomy enough that you never felt overcrowded, even though the place itself was buzzing with customers. Nice wall mounted TVs allowed us to watch the World Cup while we enjoyed our dishes.

The food itself was great - I opted for Tacos al Pastor, which were tasty
