Was scrolling on Yelp looking for a brunch place and saw a photo a breakfast cheeseburger at Salt &…read morePepper and made it my mission to try. The ironic part is that I ended up getting an omelet. Salt & Pepper is a small family run Mexican spot serving up delicious food all day long. Perfect for small groups that want to have some awesome bits after a long night out. Ended up getting Rancheros and various tacos. Everything was great. Staff is very attentive even when the takeout/delivery line is jumpin (busy). Next time I find myself in AC, I'm coming back.

Very good service & food. Had birria tacos, el pastor tacos, guac & chips & horchata. The chips and…read moreguac were excellent and clearly homemade. Very rare I notice good chips, but these were crunchy and fresh. The birria tacos were another high point, with great consume with full tacos. The el pastor tacos being pretty good. It is in a sketchy part of the city and the prices are higher the some strong competitors, But they do offer a local discount for Atlantic City government workers, and maybe more, which makes this place a must stop for locals.

Almost seven years ago, during a trip to AC, my wife searched for "food near me," and that's how we…read morestumbled upon El Tequate. I'd always heard the saying that hole‑in‑the‑wall restaurants have the best food -- and this place proves that 100% true. If you love good food, this is the spot. We visit AC often, and eating here has become a full‑on family tradition. We simply can't skip it. Authentic Mexican dishes, amazing flavors, great service, and genuinely kind people. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Let me start by saying that trying to find a parking spot was a nightmare. Even though I ordered to…read morepick up, I couldn't even find a place to illegally park my car & run in. The tiny restaurant was full so that was a good sign. In any case, I got Al Pastor Tacos. They came dressed with onions and cilatro, served in homemade tortillas, a few slices of radishes, lots of slices or lime, a roasted serrano pepper, a green salsa, and a red salsa. They were HUGE and stuffed with pork. I was so excited but when I bit into it, it was flavorless. The salsas helped A LOT. In any case, the meat was tender and the bits of pineapple was a nice added element. The guy who fixed my order was ok. And the price point was good.

They were able to accommodate a large group at last minute. Food portions were great.read more

The price is amazing, quality is outstanding, extremely authentic and service was great. A very small restaurant with maybe 3-4 tables but everything is very tight and a bit hot. No AC but one fan. My bf and I stopped by and we were the only ones dining inside, but the door constantly opened with customers picking up food. Our waitress was the friendliest and cutest person ever. Very happy and loved her job. This restaurant does not come with complimentary chips and salsa and the food (besides entrees) do not come with sides. However, the taste and quality is out of this world and so worth it! We ordered shrimp tacos, which came with 3pieces and extremely fresh. We also shared an order of the original tlayuda and chose mixed meat since the waitress recommended it. Very heavy and filling. Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu!

This must be the best Mexican in town! When I was browsing the map for things to do, see, eat, near…read moremy hotel in AC. It had good reviews and Google suggested I might like it based on places I've been to here in Baltimore. So, you know I had to cross reference on Yelp, my most trusted source of recommendations. Yelp said, yes ma'am and I said say less. After some rooftop drinks at Vue bar, I stopped in for takeout. I only browsed the menu briefly, but I knew when I saw huaraches and tlayuda it was going be a hit! There's nothing like authentic Mexican. While I wanted to try a little bit of everything, I'm only one girl and I was traveling solo, so I ordered steak nachos, an al pastor torta, and a single lengua taco. The way I inhaled those nachos, the roof of my mouth be damned! They were so simple, just black refried beans, meat, queso fresco and some pickled veg, yet so delicious. The lengua taco had more of a shredded consistency than the tender chunks I'm used to, but the flavor was yummy and the torta was still great 3 days later. 10/10 would recommend!

The TR Bowl is no joke, the protein portion alone is enough for several people to share (see photo). I've honestly never seen a restaurant be this generous with their protein. The Birria Egg Rolls with consomé are bursting with flavor. One bite and you'll immediately understand why they stand out and what I am talking about. The Birria Ramen arrives in an insanely large bowl and includes three tacos, making it an excellent value. Don't skip dessert!!! Do yourself a favor and get the churrios. They come out hot, crispy and dusted with sugar. The prices are spot on for what you are getting. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I promise you will leave smiling!

The soft corn tacos with grilled chicken, pulled pork and shrimp topped with the corn salsa, grilled pineapple and pinto beans with avocado and cilantro were healthy and hit the proverbial spot.

I even have their t shirt from last year. However, the prices have gone up too much and I'm not sure if I can justify coming here moving forward. Maybe a smaller portion size was available for about half the price or something. I can't eat the monster burritos in one sitting anyone and always enjoy them more when they are fresh. Until the portions and pricing are updated for customers like me, I have to go with a 3 out of 5 for now.

They were HUGE and tasty and they definitely don't skimp on toppings ;) I recommend the buffalo sub but definitely ask for them to melt the mozzarella I think it would be better warm and gooey!
