This is the best Mexican food I've ever had. I'm lucky I live right down the street. The Cubano Torta is lncredible! read more

Steak in tacos was very dry and poorly seasoned. Nothing special about tortillas either.

Que Rico! Disfrutamos toda de nuestra cena .... El guacamole es delicioso! Solamente esperamos que es para mas guac, salsa, y sour cream para las quesadillas y las sincronazadas. Super bien! Amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner...especially the guacamole! Our only wish would have been guacamole, salsa, and sour cream for the quesadillas and sincronozadas. Super bien! read more

Some of the best mexican food around. Great mom and pop small place. The food is always fresh. I love the spicy pork tacos and the sopes. Homemade fresh and delicious. read more

So glad we stopped for some authentic Mexican on the way home for the beach. We had chicken nachos, pico de gallo, chicken sopes and tacos. Everything was cooled to order, very fresh, hot and tasty. The nachos and pico de gallo were so filling and took home most of our dinner. We had a watermelon drink they make fresh there, it was fantastic! We will definitely stop here again the next time we are at the beach. read more

Don't judge this book by its cover. Hands down some of the best authentic Mexican I've ever had. The Al Pastor is delicious. Plenty of cilantro and lots of flavor. I had the sincronizada. Also, they start you with some homemade salsa verde with avocado, and you will most likely want to ask for a pint to go. read more

Lunch today for two was started with some delicious homemade chips with both red and green sauce that were very hot followed by 4 tacos and a burrito - everything scrumptious. Nice to have another authentic Mexican restaurant here in our town. We will be returning again for sure to sample more of their food. All credit cards accepted - nice touch! read more

The food is not cheap but the taste is fresh and delicious, and the portion is generous. We had spicy pork tacos and spicy pork enchiladas, and both were great. The complimentary appetizer of chips and dipping sauces (one green and one spicy) were refreshing. read more

Jose's pales in comparison...This place is legit. Nothing is doused in red sauce and yellow cheese. These flavors are fresh and delicious. This is the most authentic Mexican food in the area. The Al Pastor tacos are SO GOOD! They also give you this amazingly spicy green salsa with avocado in it as a starter. Bistec is amazing. You get 4 HUGE soft corn tortilla tacos for $10. That's two meals for me! I don't eat Langua, but my boyfriend does and he's says it's excellent. Service could be a little more on point, but they are so nice that it doesn't even matter. It's a little slow, but the food is definitely worth the wait! read more

Family owned restaurant. I had the BEST tacos ever! My friends and I were a little sketched out by the place from the outside but once we got inside everything was super clean . They were super nice and attentive. read more

Excellent chicken enchiladas. Freshly sliced tomatoes, avocado , shredded lettuce topping the meal. Excellent!

Food is delicious and portions are large but doable. 4 -top table started with chips n guac then had spicy pork enchiladas, chic burrito, pork burrito, and spicy pork chimichanga all was good. Very casual spot with no frills style but the food definitely brings me back. read more

Best Mexican in the area. Sopes & Huaraches are really good!! The server is really friendly and you can BYO

Visited Belmar for a weekend getaway from NYC and came to this restaurant for dinner. This place has by far the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. We ordered the pork enchiladas, shrimp burrito, and al pastor tacos. So delicious!! No pictures taken bc we inhaled everything--it was that good read more

Four of us at there tonight....this is a small place in a converted house at the corner of Rt. 71 & Seventeenth St. in Belmar. Very plain inside...only 4 tables & 4 booths.....but the service was attentive & the food was top notch. True Mexican style, not the "Americanized" version sold in many other places. We had tacos, sopes, huaraches & flautas.....all were excellent & price can't be beat....everything on the menu was either $10 or $11. Try it....you'll like it! PS - nothing 'scary" about this restaurant or the neighborhood & it's not 'cheesy' inside....just a very plain neighborhood restaurant. Park around the corner on Seventeenth St. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Taco Bell or Chipotle can't compare to this little gem. So many great different food options to chose from you won't be disappointed. read more

Big fan of this place. I moved to the area a few months ago and had some great choices previously. Glad that I found Azteca's. I can only comment on the tacos here as that's all I ever get. But they're delicious. I call to order and they're always ready in less than 10 minutes. They're always tasty. Hoping to keep getting my tacos here for years to come. read more

Delicious lunch from Azteca today, only open now for takeout but still great and authentic Mexican food. Appy of Guac with chips, perfect. Pork sincronizadas and beef soup perfect for a cold winter's day. Aqua fresca Mango and horchata too. read more

Truly delicious!!! First time stopping into Aztec and my only regret is we did not do it sooner. On entry you will find a dining area that resembles more of a pizza by the slice type environment but don't let that lower your expectations. The food was well seasoned and good size portions. The person waiting on us (I think my have been the owner) was friendly, kind and inviting. I had the beefstek with onions and my wife had the chicken fajitas. Both dishes were fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly and smothered in carmalized onions. Lucky for me there was more chicken than my wife could eat in the fajitas so I got to try that too. Fajita chicken can tend to be dry but not here. The chicken was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We have a new favorite Mexican restaurant. Also if you look online do t let the menu fool you. They have an entire menu I did not see o line of plates, fajitas and more! read more

outside = sketchy. food = AMAZING. the guac here is so fresh i love it. the tacos as well are a great price, 4 for $10! the tacos are very authentic and seasoned very well. i'd just recommend getting takeout for the future read more

Had a wonderful lunch made to order. I had the spicy pork and onion sopas. Fantastic. We also had the chicken enchiladas as well. Perfect for the afternoon. Sodas from a can, but it fit with the meal. Guac with chips was great and the pit is in the center. read more

My boyfriend and I gave this place a try after reading the reviews. We have been to Jose's Mexican restaurant before and I have to say we liked Azteca much better. The food pretty authentic and fresh. We had a guacamole and chips for appetizer and the guacamole was very good and most importantly fresh. The beef tacos is an order of four tacos that is prepared to order and they are very fulfilling (boyfriend had that). I had the chorizo sopes, it was my first time trying them and I was very pleased (they could have had a bit more salt) but besides that they were very good and I got full with just 1 1/2 sopes (there order comes with 3). They also have other meals not listed in the menu but you have to ask the person taking the order "what else they have"... Don't go there expecting a fancy restaurant because is far from it. This place is a small restaurant, very modest but the service was good and the person taking the order was very polite. read more

Amazing Mexican restaurant in Belmar. Absolutely perfect salsas, pico and guac. Really delicious spicy pork, steak, and chicken. We had tacos, tostadas and enchiladas and they were all delicious. We will be back! read more

When you have a hankering for authentic, tasty, south of the border, head here. The guacamole is seasoned well with a touch of cilantro, just the way you'd hope. I had the enchiladas and they came with fresh tomato and avocado on top with a hearty sprinkling of queso fresco. The red sauce was delicious...tangy with a bit of heat. This is a family run establishment ...quirky decor, it's true, but the flavors here are the real deal. read more

Food its terrible the meat it's not fresh, you can feel the taste, I order Nachos and sopes horrible sopes deep fry in old oil so nasty I think the reviews are fake from family and friends I can't understand how they got good reviews with that kind of food read more

The food here is fresh and really delicious. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is pretty casual but I wouldn't call it "sketchy" or "scary" like some of the reviews here. The place is clean, staff is friendly, and many of the other diners were Latino so you know the food is legit. read more

Great hidden gem, right in sight. Had the steak tostadas. Our table also ordered tacos and enchiladas, both spicy pork. Everything was so delicious! read more

Amazing food! Just tried this place for the first time and I'm happy I finally did. I've had a lot of problems in the past when ordering out because of my allergies, but this place made sure to accommodate for me. Will definitely be ordering from here again!! read more

Best Mexican place around and awesome prices ! Staff always friendly and when you eat inside it's cozy and bring your own

wish I had come here sooner, my brother always told me how good it was and he was right. Truly a family run restaurant filled with warm, smiling faces and great dishes. Portions are very generous, the place is adorable inside, clean, air conditioned! (not so much at other mexican fare in town) From the outside it looks really small but they do have 10 tables so there is room. Owner recommended huaraches and we had the sparsity pork with onions, not very spicy but very tasty. The homemade chips and green sauce he gave us was delicious, the red one had a bite, too much for me but my friend loved it. Also had the steak quesadilla's very large portion with rice, beans on the side. The homemade pineapple aquas frescos was to die for! I immediately starting looking on the internet for recipes to make it at home. Very nice people, fair price, great food and best of all local! Always support local. Thanks for a great meal, we will be back read more

Delicious food every time! The only issue is that seems like only 2 people work there so the food takes awhile. But it's def a hidden gem

If ya don't know, now ya know. Love the Lakewood taco trucks and this place is just as good! They do the simple things great and the entrees even better. If you crave that authentic experience with just all the right flavors, this is your place. read more

I am not a Mexican Food aficionado, was not raised on it, and the first time I had it was in Old San Diego, and was spoiled. Finding a local 'hot spot' like this is a gift. Been her about 5 times, and have been hooked. When you see tables with allot of locals. (Mexicans.... allot in area), you know it's good. Small family atmosphere, fast friendly service, and...... Great food at a reasonable price. (Large portions) Note: BYOB read more

After reading this was one of best Mexican places in NJ, we decided to give it a try. The service was terrible, we had to get our own drinks, took about half hour for someone to take our order, brought out wrong food and food we did have wasn't that good. I don't think it is one of the best Mexican places in Monmouth county, no less NJ. read more

So good and away from the crowds. On the edge of a neighborhood and the best Mexican food we have had in a long time. Go. I had a veggie buritto with habeneros. ..wow. spice was great, but you dont get it that way unless you ask. read more

By far the best authentic Mexican food in the aria. Best hidden gem in town. I am sad that I am writing this review so positive because I want the place to myself!! Come hungry because they have jumbo portions. The enchilada meal is the size of your head and I decided the green sauce. The guacamole is made fresh to order and has the pit served with it to prove that it's fresh. Always order there fresh juice on the counter. The cantaloupe juice is to die for! read more

Best tacos in the area. This place is amazing. $10 for 4 tacos and they are delicious. Just the right amount of heat. Had the spicy pork and the spicy pork with pineapple. Have been waiting forever for a place like this to open up in the area. read more

Azteca Restaurant - Spicy pork and spicy pork with onions and pineapple. Amazing - Mexican Near Me - Belmar, New Jersey

Although I'm a gringo, I regularly hit the best taquerias in San Diego, Orange County and Santa Cruz County areas. So hopefully me review is accurate. Ordered the 4 taco platter and split with two pollo and two chorizo. They gave chips with nice verde sauce and salsa. Tacos were cooked to order, nice and hot. The pollo was lightly flavored. The chorizo was Not the greasy mystery Cronus meat with fatty bits, God stuff with nice spice. All served with nice sweat onion, cilantro and chives. Should have taken a picture but housed them too quick. Basic decor, local blue collar clientele, this is a real deal Mexican place for a quick post surf lunch read more

I live in San Francisco. I'm so glad to have Azteca in Belmar! It's authentic Mexican food. They put a lot of love into their food. It tastes like someone cooked just for you. If you don't share your dish, you will be going home with leftovers. Good value for the quality and quantity. read more
