La Sierra is right on Main Street in Belmar so enjoy the off season because they said they're packed in the summer. Authentic decor and food options and nothing disappoints. You start off with 2 sauces for dipping the complimentary tortilla chips. Not like Tostitos, but thick and crispy! So yummy! Watch out because the sauces have a kick. I ordered a horchata which is great with lots of cinnamon. There's so many drink options from frozen to on the rocks. Full bar is available. Now for the food... I ordered flauntas con pollo and they were perfectly fried, topped with cheese & crema. The best I ever had. My husband got a huge burrito so overstuffed that it's 2 meals. The dinners are plated with guacamole and pico de gallo. The guacamole is so delicious and feels homemade. The pico was bland and lacking something but we'll let that slide. Overall, 10/10 for ambiance, service, portion size, food taste & quality. read more

Small space with large attitude, a true atmosphere. Noticed many regulars getting greeted by staff. Food was fresh and phenomenal spent as much time looking at what every one else got as i did my own food. Bar tender knew their stuff healthy pours not overly crazy on the sour mix in the margaritas. Every table seemed to have at least two margaritas read more

Went to dinner with my ex last night she had no idea she'd been here already and she's not a big fan. It is a very authentic place and was super busy and got busier even after we left. They don't have traditional salsa with their chips. You get a thick chip with some sauces that you can squirt onto the chip. You can order pico de gallo with chips for 8.50. The pico was very fresh and chunky. My ex ordered some street tacos. She only ate one. I took the other one home. I got the enchiladas suiza filled with shredded chicken. Served with a traditional green sauce, black beans, and rice. Also topped with a little sour cream and avocado. Very authentic. Food was prepared quick and service is friendly and knowledgeable. They have an outside eating area out back they have a sit down counter bar area. Definitely stop in when you're in town! read more

Very prompt and friendly service. Wonderful city, small family owned, ethnic restaurant vibe. The food was fresh and delicious. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Would have given 5 stars but no prices were stated for drinks, and all drinks were very weak and very expensive, nearly the same cost as the meals! read more

This place is very cool, the staff is amazing, friendly, helpful and sweet. Loved the experience, can't wait to come back.

Great drinks to start. We pretty much had it all. Mango margaritas on the rocks and frozen. Delicious both ways. The fish tacos were good, as were the nachos. Food was fresh, hot and came out in good time considering all seats in the place were filled. Service was exceptional, especially the volume that was doing take out and dining in. We always had fresh drinks and were checked in often. Ambiance was casual, vibe was loud and fun. The decor was traditional Mexican art works and decor. One more beautiful piece than the next every where you look. Enjoyed this place, the company who brought us there for date night and would love to return! read more

I love that this place was good. When we showed up we definitely judged the book, but we gave it a try! Which you should! It's such a wholesome place. Mexican decor coating the walls, baskets hanging, Spanish music playing and you having a good time! We got nachos for the table which was interesting. Homemade chips, black beans, amazing chicken, cheese, pickled carrots?? Amazing btw, jalapeños and lettuce and tomatoes. Perfect size for 6 people. We requested just chicken it would've came with beef and shrimp but we just wanted the chicken. I got the beef fajitas, came to me on a sizzling cast iron like other spots, a mountain of onions, peppers and beef. Coming behind was homemade tortillas, guacamole, refried beans, sour cream and tomatoes and red onions. Greatttt! Everything came out so delicious and good. It's refreshing to see a wait staff so excited to serve you your food. Everything came out to be just under $200, 6 people, all got drinks, some double drinks. COME HERE. It's so nice here. read more

Another stop with wife tonight and we enjoyed it immensely. Food is delicious the margarita is wonderful and they have the best selection of Mexican beers to be found anywhere in Jersey. Just a tip however because of the price of drinks here you bill will be much higher that a typical Mexican restaurant that is BYOB. Reminds me of my youth when stationed in San Antonio and going into town for authentic Mexican food on the river walk. A million years ago .. read more

Fresh food, strong drinks, good music, friendly staff, and clean. I can't say enough about this place! My mom and I really enjoyed our meals and drinks! We had the chicken quesadillas and the shrimp tacos and everything was so fresh. Our frozen mango margaritas got us feelin' good for sure! So good and strong! We came here on a Sunday afternoon and you could tell it was a local favorite but I'm so glad we found it as a tourist and listened to the reviews. Sure, there are other Mexican places, but this had good atmosphere AND a back patio to chill out in. I will definitely be back to try more things. I could tell other tables were enjoying their food and drinks too when we would randomly make eye contact and start groovin' to the music. If you're in the area or even on the beach, make a stop here! The colors and decorations inside were so amazing too. I loved looked at everything. read more

Small cozy bar for a festive authentic Mexican dining experience. Food was great and service was on point. Reasonable prices with generous portions. Would recommend you check it out. I went on a Sunday at 5 and it was buzzing with business but I didn't have to wait. Will definitely return. read more

Doesn't look like much from outside but once Inside you are transported to a festive Mexican vacation feeling. Very colorful and lively decor. Place was busy and we only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be cleared in the outdoor area in the back which was surprisingly very nicely decorated and comfortable considering how warm it was outside service was quick and attentive, food tasted pretty good and was fast. Chips were supplied with waitress, a hot and mild salsa was given with it but not your typical salsa for dipping which was the only disappointment I can say ( was basically. read more

19 people drinking, $200 on first round. OWNERS. THE OWNERS refused to split the bill 3 ways. The poor server lost out on a huge tip girl I'm SO sorry. We are in the service industry and were here on a training trip. Unbelievable. We would never do this. She then cashed out out all individually. OWNERS FAULT. read more

The food was delicious authentic Mexican, the service was very prompt and our server was so friendly. The ambience is very cool too!

This is a cool spot on Main street that looks super small on the outside but when you get in, the property goes on and on. They have a cool spacious patio out back with additional seating. I loved the outdoor seating! Sidebar- I do have to point out that the bathroom was exceptionally clean! Super thumbs up! Everyone was friendly and the waitress was pretty helpful when we were deciding on an entree. The reason I took off a star is because the drinks were not good. We ordered margaritas which were not cheap and they tasted like complete puree/juice. Very disappointing! The shrimp tacos and guacamole was excellent though! I tore that food up!! Compliments to the Chef! My friend had a grilled shrimp dish with chipotle sauce and that was also pretty tasty. I can recommend the place but you should just drink before you go- Sorry! They dropped the ball in the drink department. Thumbs up for the food though!!!:) read more

Food here is authentically amazing. That is the only reason why I gave it 4 stars. I cannot lie, I was a bit turned off when I first came in because there was a big group in front of us and an older couple behind us. The hostess went to set the table for the big group and then she went to the couple behind us and asked which table they would like to sit at huh?? I felt a bit invisible and when i had tried to FLAG the hostess down, she told me to wait. I don't understand why am I being skipped and told to wait?! She could've explained it if the couple behind us were being assisted because they had maybe a reservation or whatever? Anyways, the service here at first is very slow. But when we finally got our waitress, she was super nice. I'm glad we had gotten her and not the other day who just completely ignored us. Next, we had gotten chips and two types of salsa. Both are as equally flavorful and delicious. The chips were a bit stale. I had ordered the steak tacos and they were DELICIOUS. The tacos are a must here, I could eat a whole tray. We had also ordered the oysters as well -- so freakin fresh! Soo worth the money, I've never had such fat oysters in my life. This would be a dish I would order consistently when I come here. The drinks were alright, not the best. I had gotten the frozen margarita and barely tasted any liquid courage in there. It tasted like a watered down smoothie, I would skip the drinks next time read more

Hey hey Adventurers! My hairstylist over at Willow and Jade, recommended this spot because they had horchata. Sadly I did not grab some but I did order their guacamole and flautas which were really good. The guacamole is creamier and smoother than I've had, but still super tasty. The flautas used ground chicken and not shredded like I'm used to. Not sure if I like it that way, but everything was Delcious and filling. I LOVE the decor of this place, not only because it has tons of holiday decorations but festive Mexican decorations as well. Outside makes it hard to miss since it's vibrant an lively, I LOVE it. I sat at the bar because it was slightly busy (World Cup was playing). I definitely need to go back to this spot to try the beverages, horchata, and other food. I think I the inside decor is a reason enough. Def recommend checking out while in the area. read more

Authentic Mexican! Good value, great food and drinks, and nice staff. What more could you want!!

Wish we could give this 10 stars. The most incredible atmosphere - inside and out (the outdoor covered patio is beyond cool). The drinks are amazing. The best piña Colada and virgin Piña Colada we've had with fresh coconut that wowed us all. Amazing guacamole, tacos, burritos with steak, shrimp, pork and more. The grilled pork with sweet plantains was great as well. We will be back every time we come down to the shore. read more

Ok everything about this restaurant is fantastic. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Even on a busy day (cinco de mayo) they had excellent service and the food came out fresh and quick. The margaritas are just delicious we had spicy and regular. The tacos are delicious and filling. Also a risky order is pork chops and they execute them perfectly. They had wonderful live music and the energy was very fun. Definitely will keep returning with my friends read more

I saw the incredible Yelp rating of 4.5 stars and was craving some Mexican food & margs, so we gave it a try. I really wanted to like this restaurant, but the food was just meh to me. I had a frozen margarita and my husband had the mango. It was just OK. Guacamole for $12 was small and also just OK. My fajitas were also just OK. I have no idea where this 4.5 rating came from. My husband had a cheese enchilada and he said the cheese wasn't melted and more like a mozzarella stick. We really wanted to like it here, but sadly we were underwhelmed. The service was OK. The restaurant was nicely decorated for Halloween / Dia de Los Muertos, just not my jam. read more

Great authentic Mexican in Lake Como. I've been living in Belmar for two years and never knew about this place. Loved the outdoor patio located in the back. The main dining area has a bar and is very festive. My one pet peeve about this place is the salsa. I did not like it at all. I prefer the traditional chunky style salsa with ribs of cilantro. They serve theirs in a squeeze bottle and it's very watery. Please change your recipe. Your food is too good to have bad salsa. lol With that being said the Fajitas are amazing!! I ordered the chicken, shrimp and beef. I comes out sizzling hot on a cast iron plate. As is should. lol It's a great size portion and comes with rice, beans and guacamole. It is one of the best fajitas I've ever had. I will definitely return and I have already referred friends and family. I may need to byos bring my own salsa next time. lol read more

Found this gem on Yelp (where else?) and so glad we came for dinner. Service is great, food is exceptional, and this rather small place has a great vibe. Maybe it was the drinks (So many to choose from), but I loved everything about this place. Shrimp tacos so fresh and delish! Sometimes pictures speak louder than words. read more
