    Torta
    Thomas J.

    My girlfriend and I decided to try this local spot out while down in AC for a conference. Absolutely delightful, lots of food, not too expensive and very tasty. Will definitely be a go to spot when back down here.

    A little hole in the wall kinda place! We were looking for a place to eat for breakfast and came across this little place. We were kinda skeptical to go in because we thought it was close, turned out the sign was just little. Came in greeted and sat immediately. We only saw two workers, the server/ cashier and cook. We ordered their coffee first (wanted hot chocolate but it was not available) we then ordered different ones. All were amazing and flavorful, they made everything fresh! They only have few tables so if you come in a group better to call ahead of time. Ohhh! Not forgetting the flan! It was firm and so good plus not that sweet! We will definitely be back!!

    I was attracted by the local small hole in the wall charm , i was hoping for a surprise or a hidden jem . The place was not crowded and I expected more effort in the food . I would say there was poor effort and poor execution os mexican food . The breakfast was not so good. I hope this experience was only for me and they become better . Thrre is charm . And there is parking across the street for 5 usd

    Breakfast burrito without peppers, onions and avocado, only scrambled eggs, chorizo and black beans.

    I ordered the Breakfast burrito that normally comes with chorizo, scrambled eggs, black beans, onions & peppers, avocado. I ordered mine with only the black beans, chorizo and scrambled eggs. I ordered over the phone and had no issues. Found out breakfast is served all day (it was dinner time when I called). It was delivered hot and fresh. Super tasty. It had descent kick (nothing crazy but I'm more on the mild side when it comes to spice so thought I'd mention the heat). Friendly service. Fries were fresh, crispy and good. Not greasy at all. Can't wait to go back on our next visit.

    Food was delicious the order of chorizo sopes had three which came with two sides of green and red hot sauce. The fish soup was good but mostly crustacean and slightly spicy it came with a side of rice, tortillas, lime cilantro and onions. The server was very friendly as well. It's a small place but very good.

    Salt & Pepper is a cash only small restaurant located on Pacific which is just one block from the Boardwalk. Inside it's very plain with an ordering counter in front of the small kitchen with an adjacent small dining room. I think most of their patrons get their food to go. I visited for lunch last week and ordered a cubana torta with fries for $17. I added a Mexican coke to drink. If you dine in like I did they provide table service. The meal arrived in less than 15 minutes after ordering. My picture doesn't due justice to the size and thickness of the torta. It consisted of meat, lettuce, tomato, avocado and beans. This was a very good tasting and filling sandwich. Honestly, it was more than I could eat. Also the fries, were hot and seasoned and good. I enjoyed them too. This is a very simple restaurant that serves very good food at attractive prices.

    Jarritos sodas

    Salt & Pepper is an authentic Mexican restaurant that opened in Atlantic City, New Jersey in March 2023. Crafted with the freshest ingredients, the menu consists of classic Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, mojarra frita, bistek, tortas and chilaquiles. The menu also features classic American dishes such as burgers, wings, cheesesteaks, and fries. There is even a full breakfast menu with items such as omelets, egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos, pancakes, and egg dishes that have a Mexican twist. Salt & Pepper is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it is CASH ONLY. My family and I visited Salt & Pepper this past summer while we were on a road trip. We were looking for a good place to grab lunch near the boardwalk one day, and Salt & Pepper came highly recommended on Yelp. At face value, the restaurant seems like a hole-in-the-wall and the neighborhood is a little rough around the edges. Don't be turned away by this. The place is indeed tiny inside. Upon entering, you will immediately see the kitchen with three or so people working their butts off. There is an adjoining dining room with a limited amount of tables. Fortunately, we were able to secure a table right away. Most of the patrons seemed to be of Mexican descent, which is always a good sign. My older son and I ordered and shared the "Nachos Mixtos" (mixture of beef, chicken and chorizo) while my wife had the "Chorizo Tacos". To drink, we ordered a couple of Jarritos sodas. This food was excellent!!! Everything tasted so fresh, the balance of the spices was perfect, and the garnishes were a nice touch. The food had that sort of homemade vibe to it and the staff were very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for excellent Mexican cuisine in Atlantic City then look no further than Salt & Pepper!

    Shrimp tacos
    Jo Y.

    My husband and I are always in search for an authentic tacos and this place nailed it. It's a small family owned place along pacific Ave. although pacific isn't my favorite, this place is worth it!! The establishment is clean and well maintained with several small tables inside. The owner quickly greeted us and sat us with menus. The smells coming from the kitchen, which is right at the entrance were incredible. I'm didn't see shrimp tacos on the menu but when I asked if they could make them, the owner generously obliged. The fresh tortillas and shrimp were wonderful. So much flavor!! They don't sell beer inside but I was told we could bring some beers from the corner store if we wanted. I really enjoyed this place and the service we received. I will definitely be comping back.

    Rancheros Eggs YUM!
    Vannessa W.

    Salt & Pepper may not look like much on the outside, but the inside is filled with warmth, flavor, and smiles. I ordered an horchata along with the ranchero eggs and a side of nopales -- everything was wonderful, exactly what my tummy needed! The nopales, in particular, were so well-seasoned and perfectly cooked!

    I came during lunchtime come in was the only person eating in; a few others came in for pickup. The Atlantic City boardwalk sure is deserted this time of year.. Service was fast and friendly. The seating area is very basic, with metal tables.. They only take cash and Zelle. My nachos were huge but I just didn't dig them as much as others I have had. The fresh avocado was great. They charge $2 for a cheap plastic bottle of water.

    Birria Tacos
    Paulina W.

    I came here for a later dinner and was very happy with everything! The service was quick and excellent. The restaurant was very casual but I did not mind that. The food itself was very delicious and the portion sizes were great as well - would definitely recommend!

    As a tourist here for a convention, I was rather surprised at the lack of food options in this city. After suffering through Hard Rock's crappy buffet and restaurant options, needing something delicious and fresh was a MUST. Well, I found this little hole in the wall place, and surely glad I did. It's very unassuming, run by two people hustling their butts off to bring out quality food. Went with the Birria tacos, they were juicy and delicious. Made quickly with excellent presentation. Salsas were also tangy and added nice contrast. Consume was meaty and warm. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in town. Love supporting a small business in this tough area

    Rancheros Eggs and side of bacon
    Fula O.

    This is a small hole in the wall restaurant located behind the boardwalk and well worth the walk from the casinos. Small family owned Mexican restaurant opened 2 years ago everything is homemade . I went for a late breakfast and the service was warm and welcoming. The space is small maybe 5 tables . I ordered the Rancheros eggs- 2 eggs over fried tortillas and topped withMexican Salsa. Underneath were homefries. Amazing the tortillas were perfectly crisp and the over easy egg paired well as did the salsa with a hint of heat. The side of bacon was eh

    Horchata, Guac and chips, steak tacos, steak platter with rice and beans and BBQ wings.

    We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews…read more Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.

    A pretty solid buffet considering there aren't many buffet options in the area!…read more Sushi - dry and tasted fake Seafood - all of their fishes were the highlight of the offerings! The carving station had a salmon larger than I've ever seen too. Also appreciate that they offer a spiced version of the cocktail shrimp. Meats - prime rib was very dry and overcooked but the grilled steak has really great taste Everything else is pretty standard for a buffet. Huge compliments on all of the sauces they offer to go along with your food (steak sauce, au jus, melted butter, etc.).

It also came with a side of toast. I don't know what brand of Taylor ham that they use but it was super good! It had such a great taste. My eggs were also cooked perfectly. The only thing I will say is that the home fries could have been cooked a little more. My food came out super fast but it was nice and hot.

There were so many tempting options to choose from! I went with the 7 oz sirloin steak and eggs. It was decent, but nothing special. The steak was cooked medium instead of medium rare, and it lacked seasoning. My friend ordered the hot jumbo biscuit with homemade sausage gravy and the pastrami Reuben, both excellent picks. The gravy was some of the best I've had, and the pastrami on the Reuben was tender and full of flavor. Our server may not have been the most personable, but she was prompt and made sure we were well taken care of. Pickup and delivery are both available.
