One of Manahawkin's best kept secrets, Latino Flavor Grille!!…read moreWe stopped in last night for dinner, ordered fajitas. My friend ordered seafood fajitas, and I ordered steak fajitas. We were greeted by a delightful server, Astrid! I'm not big on rice or vegetables so I made a few changes to the menu. Chef stopped at my table to be certain he had my order correct. We began with guacamole and chips. Probably the best guacamole I have ever had in my life and that includes guacamole I had in Mexico. I can't remember when I have had better fajitas. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection. My friend who ordered seafood fajitas... The shrimp looked amazing and she was thrilled. You're able to order half bottle or a full bottle of wine and this is a new feature! As a local, I realize many of the other locals have found this little gem of a Latino restaurant, fantastic!! This is now on my restaurant rotation as, sad to say, there are very few restaurants in Manahawkin that are worth a revisit. This is definitely one that should be visited, often!!

We ordered four platters of the churrasco chicken with rice and French fries. The chicken was good, the rice was a little bland and the fries were ok.

I'm always on a hunt for delicious food. So, after researching food options in the area, I was led…read moreto Pepes. I took a ride over to check the place out. It's a small white building that is nestled into a neighborhood that is easy to pass by if you aren't paying attention. Upon walking in, I was met by a woman who told me she would take my order in a min. I was happy with that response bc I needed time to check out the empanadas and Chicharrhon I spotted immediately. After a short wait, I went with what I recognized immediately. I asked for a chicken and cheese empanada, plus Chicharron platter with yellow rice and beans. You do have the option to have your beans on the side or included in your container. I opted to have mine on the side. After a short wait, I was handed a bag with my items. I immediately ran to the car and opened the platter. I had to try the chicharron. I absolutely LOVED the flavor and crispy pork skin. The meat was tender underneath the skin and had a light salty taste that reminded me of my last trip to D.R. I drove home and couldn't wait to eat everything else. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly. Now, the beans.....THE BEANS MADE ME HAVE A SEAT!!! I don't know what the chef/cook uses to make the beans, but all I can say is the beans were by far some of the best I have had in a very long time. The flavor, temperature, etc. was so spot on. If you couldn't tell already, I plan to return to Pepes in the immediate future to see what other deliciousness awaits me.
