My family loves Tacos by the Shore. Their food is good and reasonably priced. Give them a try!

Our favorite Taco Spot! We kind of stumbled across Tacos by the Shore on accident one day and I'm glad we did! Wasn't sure what to expect the first time we popped in but was pleasantly surprised. The team that works there is always on top of it and the food is always on point. We ended up using them to cater out our rehearsal dinner read more

Stopped here from work, and was not expecting such amazing food on a Friday afternoon! Service was extremely fast and their ambience including seating was more than sufficient! Never had a chimichanga before but this was delicious! read more

It is not closed. They moved next door to Joe Canal's on route 47 in Rio grande. Food was excellent tonight as always

I really thought this place was very good. We had the chicken tacos and it wasn't smothered in sauce. Perfectly seasoned and accompanied with a light salsa. Counter service was quick. Definitely plan on returning. read more

Carnitas burrito, chicken chimichanga, chicken fajita tacos ... all delicious! This place is really good and all items we had were fantastic! Rice and beans were good and the guacamole was also great. The pork was something I look forward to getting again , I also loved the fajitas. The only negative, which I would deduct 1/2 star would be that they charge extra for salsa a hot sauce and they don't give you any ,they did give some pico with the chimichanga but it was awful, watery onions and sone tomatoes. Their some hot sauces on the table that is sufficient but it's bottled. Definitely go here ! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Welcome to another addition of my 15 year old daughter's quest to finding the best Birra Taco If you haven't seen my previous post, I'll explain. She tried Birra Tacos for the 1st time in TX during the summer of 2021 and ever since everywhere we go she trys the local Birra. So far Texas and Carneys Point NJ is her favorite. Today she gave Tacos by the Shore in Rio Grand NJ a try. We called and ordered one order of Birra, one order of of guacamole and chips, and my son who is 11 years old, and eats like an 11 year year old, order steak tacos (11 year old version which is soft taco, steak, sour cream and Mexican cheese) They were polite on the phone and told us order would be ready in 10 minutes. Cool! My daughter said, "how cute" when we parked in front of Tacos by the Shore and ya know what? She was right, it's a cute little place with a surfing taco on the sign. Inside was clean and our order was ready as promised. We received a hello and a thank you from the friendly employee at the register. On our way home the car was filled with a mouth watering smell that made me regret not ordering anything for myself! We got home and my family all tried the chips and guacamole. Everyone agreed the guacamole was very good and the chips were all full size, very little broken crumbs that can't be used to dip. You may think that what my son ordered is impossible to mess up, unfortunately that's not always the case, but today he was happy with his steak soft taco. Being a good dad I had to sample the steak, it was flavorful but on the dry side. I liked that it was cut small because it was easier to keep the meat in the taco. The side off rice was very good better than most places. My daughter enjoyed the Birra Tacos, she would have liked if the outside of the taco had less cheese on it but she was very pleased with the taste overall and the dipping sauce was way better then her last experience while we were in Rhode Island. The sauce was full of chunky onions and her opinion the sauce is very important when it comes to enjoying a Birra Taco. She ranked this Birra Taco as a close 2nd to her favorite. We will be visiting again and trying different menu items I will be sure to post. read more

A friend and I actually went to a restaurant for a lunch next to Tacos by the Shore but we noticed several people were waiting for the food so we walked over there and so glad we did. The lady behind the counter was so gracious to walk us through the process of ordering. This is a build your own taco place. We ordered three shrimp tacos and they were delicious! My husband and i are visiting from out of town but next time we are here we will be visiting Tacos by the Shore again. read more

We really wanted to like this place because we love Mexican and the reviews were good, but this place was gross. I got the Carnitas tacos. The meat was like mush. I'm not sure if it was old and had been sitting around or just very low quality meat. My Husband got the fish tacos which were so fishy he couldn't eat them. And they were overcooked - the breading was almost burned. Nothing tasted fresh. We won't be back. The restaurant itself was kind of dirty. read more

Love this taco place! They have more than just what is on their actual menu so it's worth going in to see what specials they have. Their street tacos are delicious, with the carnitas being my absolute favorite. The servings will definitely fill you up. Service is speedy so if you're showing up in person it doesn't take long at all. Nothing fancy about the place just a basic taco place. read more

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Wildwood area try to go as much as possible. The family that owns it is awesome and makes you feel at home read more

During my trip to Cape May one of my friends suggested we get Tacos nearby. We randomly stumbled upon this place and I am so glad we did. I got the vegetarian tacos with grilled veggies, corn and onions on 3 soft tacos and it didn't not disappoint! It's been so long since I've had an authentic homemade tacos like this! We also dined indoors and luckily it was all empty at the time so we didn't need to sit near anyone. I would highly recommend all to try this place when visiting Cape May! read more

Cute and tasty taco spot! The guacamole was fresh and had chunks of avocado. I ordered the coconut shrimp taco with beans and rice. My husband ate the beans and rice and said it was good. The coconut shrimp taco was crispy and had a tasty sauce. The meat for the tacos were also moist and flavorful - the onions and cilantro was fresh. I will be back when I'm back by cape may! read more

Great find! The meat is amazing. Seems to be family owned and friendly. Small store front restaurant but excellent food

I love Tacos by the Shore. I've been coming here every summer since 2018. The food is great, and I try something new every time. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. It is very authentic Mexican food, which is rare to find on the East Coast. You won't find better Mexican food. I usually dine inside, and the staff are all very nice. Tacos by the shore is a must when I'm in Cape May! I love it here and I am always excited to come back. read more

Hubby loved the enchiladas con verde salsa con carne asada. The food tasted authentic and believe me, he's a harsh critic being a native Mexican! Excellent portion size and value for your money! read more

Top notch Mexican food! We stopped in for lunch and from the moment we walked in I knew it was going to be good. The women working the front were so nice and friendly and helpful with the recommendations. We got gauc which was delicious, chicken, pork, and beef tacos. All we're delicious, I liked the steak and my husband liked the la pastor the best. They have outdoor seating that was very spacious and comfortable. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all. We cannot wait to go back and try out the birra tacos! read more

Pretty good taco selection although the service was a bit spotty. We split a bunch of tacos; pastor, carnitas, barbacoa and chorizo. All were very good and very fresh. No homemade hot sauce although you do get salsa verde which was very good. The barbacoa and pastor were nearly indistinguishable based on the condiments so I would have preferred a more traditional preparation. Prices were okay for the portion size. read more

Hood authentic Mexican at a plain no frills and very clean establishment. We got the tacos and rice and beans and both were very tasty!

I have continued to go back and have gotten the Shrimp and crap chimichanga. I have never had anything Mexican food dish like that prior to getting it here. It is really good. It might be the most expensive menu item, but to me, it's worth it. I really like this place. read more

Enjoyed their Carnitas taco bowl. The cheese was the only ingredient I wasn't thrilled with. It tasted fake. The pork carnitas on the other hand were delicious. We had it with extra cilantro which was delicious. The prices do add up once you start adding on toppings so be aware of that. For three bowls and tip it was over $50. Chipotle is being built down the street but won't hold a candle to this place. This is much more authentic. read more

Best taco/Mexican food around. Family owned good is always fresh. Always our go to place at the shore.

I have been craving shrimp tacos for days, I stumbled across this place while I was on vacation. The Tacos were delicious, I mean after all it was my birthday So I sat there and pigged Out. read more

This is an order-at-counter eat in/take out place. The food is very good and fresh in this little eatery. Around $9 for 3 tacos, $10-12 for enchiladas or fajitas. Just be careful -- they up-charge substantially for any extras or sides, and it really drives the price up. read more

The Barbacoa Street Tacos were terrific ... the meat was very tender and it was served with lots of fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges. The flavorful green sauce that came with it on the side was very tasty and not too spicy. It couldn't have been any better. We wanted to try the flan but it was sold out ... probably because it is also terrific! I would definitely recommend eating here. They had indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Dear taco time, I've been waiting for some tome to tell you just how much you mean to me. Ever since I tried your taco bowls I wanna go up to the counter and hug you guys. Thank you so much for bringing your talents to our home. I love you. No like, I really do love you. read more

Delicious, fresh food. Not "fast food" by definition, but very quick service. Ingredients are great quality, and servings are large. read more

Definitely an awesome spot we tried for Mexican near Cape May! They have build your own options, soft corn, hard corn, flour tacos, burritos, chimichangas, flautas and 7 types of meat you can choose from. Drink wise there is a cooler you choose from with iced teas, soda, water, etc. I went for the rice bowl and it's build your own. Ingredients tasted fresh and I got no weird chicken pieces. All toppings are free minus guacamole which is extra. Service was efficient and friendly as well. This is not some fancy place- they serve your food on paper plates and in to-go containers on cafeteria trays but that's half the fun! For 3 drinks, two rice bowls, and and one "favorites" item it was $38 which isn't bad considering half the restaurants on Cape May are $17 for one entree and here it's enough food where I have lunch for tomorrow too! read more

Stopped by because of the good reviews and while the food was good everything else was lackluster. Staff seamed annoyed to even take my order. I got food for 4 people to go plus an appetizer to share. This order came to almost $80 which is on the steep side. Plus adding insult to that high bill they have the nerve to automatically add 4% for credit card transactions. That part really rubs me the wrong way especially since as I business owner myself I know the processor fees top out at 3% max and even 1.9% depending on volume etc. it's a straight up money grab. I'm not even completely sure that practice is actually legal but none the less I paid my now over $80 bill for my food and will not be returning. read more

I ordered steak nachos and a steak tacos. The nachos were soggy and I received a vegetarian burrito. I am unhappy.

Amazing service, the staff is very friendly. The food is delicious and authentic, will definitely eat here again.

Burritos are huge and delicious. Definitely a go to spot! Plenty of options even for the picky eater in the family. Much better than any chains! read more

Great little taco and Mexican food place. Food has excellent flavor the Shrimp and Crab Chimichanga are exceptionally good. Portions are larger and filling. If you like Tacos then you should check this place out. read more

This is a pretty neat spot. It's a casual dining place kind of similar to Chipotle. I ordered the rice bowl. Just like Chipotle, you choose your protein, beans, rice, sauces, and toppings. The food was pretty good. They also have tacos and burritos but I didn't try them at the time. The serving sizes are pretty big so I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. Would recommend. It's a great place for a quick bite read more
