Don Beto's in Long Branch, happens to excel at them. Perfectly doughy, cheesey, and crispy. Don't forget to smother your pupusa with curtido (spicy cabbage slaw) and the red sauce (salsa roja). You eat it with your hands, too, so get ready to get messy.

We have been getting take out from Norah's for about a decade and loved every meal…read more Unfortunately I cannot write that about the takeout my husband picked up last night. I ordered beef ox tails which were always in a flavorful brown gravy over white rice with sweet plantains and sautéed cabbage with some mixed vegetables. Last night they were in a sauce that is best described as a sticky, gluey bbq sauce that I have never experienced there in the past. There was just a tiny amount of sautéed cabbage though I was grateful for it as a palate cleanser. One piece of sweet plantain, in all fairness, I did order the small versus a large order. The rice was unpleasant with that dark, sticky sauce already stirred into it so there was no escaping it. (Today I took an entire pint of leftover white rice from a previous oriental meal and stirred it into Norah's rice to make it at least edible though still not delicious like it used to be.) I am extremely disappointed Norah seems to have changed her beef oxtails brown gravy recipe. For me ... it completely changed my opinion about her beef oxtails. I miss how it used to taste.

We stopped at a couple of Mexican restaurants. Somewhere either way too trendy or way too expensive or way too crowded. One had live music but a terrible singer. So we decided to drive down Broadway and passed a bunch of places. We found a parking space and just walked and came across this place and figured what the heck. Best choice ever! We were the only gringos (always a good sign) and ordered fajitas and a grilled chicken dish with a red sauce. Both were excellent and our total was $33. It's BYOB and we brought some margaritas and had a great time. Excellent service & huge portions. We will be back next time we are down the shore looking for Mexican. You should try this restaurant, too.

The place also has a good atmosphere and great music selection. In addition, every Thursday evening from 6:45 to 7:45 they offer free Latin music dance classes. There were probably 12 to 15 people at this particular class. Definitely a great date spot. I'll mention that the food did take almost 50 minutes to come out, but overall the food and service were both good. Definitely worth a try.

You can truly taste the freshness and care in every dish and sauce, all made in-house. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, greeting everyone with the warmest smile and making the whole experience feel special from the moment you walk in. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, but the spacious indoor dining room was just as inviting, filled with incredible aromas that instantly set the stage for a memorable meal. We started with Dominican appetizers and fresh juices, then shared Ethiopian platters that were packed with flavor and perfect for the table. Everything was outstanding, unique, and clearly made with love. We're already looking forward to coming back!
