Maybe they can do a half chorizo half al pastor burrito next round and blaze trails. Pictures speak for themselves. Also very nice people work here so that's a huge bonus.

It's a cool change up from the other 13 Mexican restaurants in town and they have 2 other locations in Asbury Park and Belmar which to me means they are legit. Don't expect apps or dessert though ... again not that kinda place. Their specialty drinks pair well with tequila but they don't offer margaritas mix like some of the other places to make your byob experience a little easier. Birria broth was excellent and service was great. Meals came out fresh and fast. Bart Simpson driving the bus on the wall mural was unexpected in 2024. Props for that choice.

The woman who owns it is the cook and is a very nice lady. I wanted enchiladas which wasn't on the menu, but she said "I'll make them for you anyway." Also the portion sizes are extremely big here probably almost triple of other restaurants, so you get a lot for your dollar, which is awesome in today's economy. Everyone go try them out, you won't be sorry!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Heard a few good reviews by friends, so we decided on…read moregrabbing delivery. I ordered a couple of things to try. The first was a chorizo quesadilla. It came deconstructed, basically a plain quesadilla (meat and cheese), I got it with cheddar and Jack cheese, and the lettuce, tomato and a bit of cheese on the side. It came with sour cream and guacamole on the side as well. It was tasty, for sure, but it was also a whole tortilla, not cut. The meat was also super greasy. I also got a carne asada burrito. That too had lettuce and tomato on the side, how I would put that in, I'm not sure. It was just meat, cheese and rice. The sour cream came in handy as it was a bit dry. The flavor was there, but the meat was fatty and had gristle. Not great in a burrito. Overall, it was tasty, but average. Hoping if we get it again it'll be better.

I already knew it had to be something exciting, and most likely Belgian or French inspired, so while we were waiting at the doctor's office I did a bit of digging and found their site, and the wonder of this amazing place was on full display. Not just sweet waffles and breakfast but also delicious savory waffles that are also sandwiches and so much more! My experience here was amazing. It did take a little while for my sandwich to be prepared, I ordered "the Frenchie" probably because I came earlier than lunch is usually served. While I waited, the wonderful woman working the front was making some of the sugar pearled waffles and she walked through the entire process with me and answered all my annoying questions. It was all just so damn interesting, I couldn't get enough! So after waiting about ten to fifteen minutes, I finally got my sandwich and didn't think to check it because I was just so excited, and hopped back in the car to head home and enjoy it while Jen drove. Well after getting a little ways away, I open the box to find the magical waffle sandwich hot, smelling delectable and notice that it was devoid of nearly ALL the ingredients. No lettuce, tomato, or red onion that was supposed to be on there were there. I was immediately heartbroken because I was SO excited. Luckily, the sandwich was still so freakin good, that without the accoutrement, it was still so impressive, I will definitely be going back the minute I am back in the area, likely at Penn Medicine. Shame it was wrong or I could've said this place was perfect and out my heart into giving it a perfect score. You should go here. Like as fast as you can. The hours are a little strange but the bright colors inside and small space are cute and make it a nice little space to enjoy your waffles from heaven. The little waffle guys with eyes are so awesome and only make it even better. They are obviously still going through some growing pains as they open up and grow as a business, but I beg that you support this place because I want it to be here for many years. I want one to open by me, and I can afford to buy into a franchise. So please, go try La Liegeoise now, and enjoy a waffle for me!
