    Too much sauce kills
    Cher Y.

    2.5-3 for the food orders today. I should have listened a wonderful friend who recently just got back from Mexico. Instead I walked the wire again. Lol! Fried chicken burrito: 3 stars. Crispy and seasoned alright. Much better than the steak fajita burrito. Steak fajita burrito: 2 stars. Saltier than the Don Juan Pond!!!Wasted it. (Salt from seasoned ris, from canned black beans, from fajita, from tortilla! Santa Fe salad: 1 star. A tragedy. No promised toasted cumin:( Ranch dressing ended into trash can) I was too lazy to chop my own salads. Lesson learnt.

    I don't know what happened to this place, but the food is awful. I used to be so good that we'd go on a weekly basis now it's terrible. everything is dried out no flavor whatsoever. I don't know what happened to the chef there, but I guess he's moved on so have I.

    I've been coming to this place for about 15 years, (yes I'm old) and it has always managed to stay consistent enough to bring me back. It's worth every trip. I drive from 10 miles away and I do it with pleasure knowing I'm in for a good meal. For starters, the queso dip is phenomenal, especially alongside some homemade tortilla chips! They make such amazing whole chickens (which isn't in this order) and they shred the chicken off the bone for the quesadillas and you can taste the quality in every bite. The chicken corn chowder soup is everything, even in the summertime! The dish full of rice, mixed vegetables and shrimps is so amazing, and they aren't cheap with the shrimp unlike everywhere else! But, no "Tex-mex" meal is complete from cactus cafe without having yellow sauce slathered all over your food. That is a must! I could go on and on, but just get over there cause it's so worth it and thank me later.

    Good food at a great price. Perfect place for a quick casual lunch. We had the Bean Burrito ($5), 3 tacos (smoked brisket, marinated steak, pulled pork), shredded chicken plate (rice, zucchini, carrots, corn & peas) and BBQ wings (sauce on the side). Everything was excellent. For a fast food taqueria, they really go to great lengths to transport you to Mexico with colorful murals, a muted 65 inch flat screen showing a soccer game, and a wide selection of pepper sauces. Do not hesitate to come here to satisfy your tex-mex cravings.

    The food is good and the staff is friendly. I wish they had a ground beef option. For tacos or other dishes.

    Ordered the chicken fajita $22 and the dish was a very generous portion. The place is also BYOB…read more Their fajitas were soft and I believe home made as they were. thicker texture and not all perfectly round which to me is a good sign. The beans and rice were a generous portion. It came out hot and fresh. You also get free tortilla chips with dip as you wait for your food. There is cash discount.

    A Red Bank must try restaurant....Kitchen Tex-Mex has outstanding authentic Mexican food…read more Ample seating can accommodate a lot of guests so I wouldn't estimate you could always get a table. The menu is extensive so there are a lot of options and undoubtedly something for everyone. Guacamole and chips were fresh, when eating the salsa the green one is rather spicy so keep that in mind (we love spicy so it was perfect). Tacos as an option is great because you can get them all the same or mix it up and order fish, pork, shredded pork and or sausage. The meat is slow cooked and accompanied by melted cheese, onions, and cilantro.....the perfect combination to dance on your Palate. The fish taco was lightly breaded chunks of fish and was not in the slightest bit greasy. I would highly recommend you order a horchata drink....it's a non-alcoholic, sweet, and refreshing drink. Horchata is made by blending white rice and cinnamon sticks in water and letting them soak overnight. After the rice and cinnamon are discarded, the remaining liquid is then flavored with vanilla, sugar, and ground cinnamon.....a must try and a drink you will crave all the time.

    Besito is probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants on Long Island. It is a rather noisy and…read morepacked space for dinner but the food makes up for it! Never skip the guac, it's absolutely amazing and so delicious. My favorites are the quesa-birria and the iron skillet mixtos. The birria tacos were so flavorful and perfect with the green salsa and dip. The cheese and meats were really delicious for the iron skillet and made the perfect fajitas. We also get the chicken enchiladas this time as well which were also very yummy. We got their gelato bowl to split after which had pistachio, dulce de leche, and dark chocolate scoops and they were amazing. Really wow'ed by the pistachio flavor and the dark chocolate was so rich. Overall, I love this restaurant and the fun worry dolls they share with you after. So glad they have two locations now.

    It saddens me to write this as we have been huge fans of Besito with regular visits for many years…read more They again changed their menu again eliminating both of our favorite entrees. We have been told by staff that they are both popular and regularly requested. Perhaps they are consolidating menu items to save on expenses, but they've lost a regular customer. To add insult to injury, today's mahi mahi was overcooked and at least 1/3 was inedible 'dark meat.' Tried to find something else, but the kitchen made the decision for us. We're done.

Además, me dio muchísimo asco que al terminar de comer vi una mosca enorme volando junto a la ventana de nuestra mesa. El servicio fue regular; tuve que llamar la atención del mesero varias veces para cosas básicas como servilletas y rellenar las bebidas.
