I attended a wedding catered by this company, and the food was delicious! They set up their grill and did their wood fired thing, and they know what they are doing for sure. The meats were all incredible, especially the flat saucy meat (never found out exactly what it was!) The beans, guacamole, chips, ribs, chicken and grilled burritos were all spot on. Later I discovered there was also shrimp and corn! Just with there had been sour cream or a crema. But definitely a great wedding meal. read more

A quaint little Mexican restaurant that had great food! There is no parking lot but ample street parking out front. We walked in the front door and wanted to sit in their outdoor patio area in which you walk around the side alley of the restaurant to the back. It's half covered and half open patio seating. The staff here was very attentive and good. Just once we got our meal it was hard to find out server again to get the check and pay. Free chips and salsa are brought to the table. The verde salsa was much better than the red salsa. I ordered the hibiscus juice which was sweet and perfectly sour and refreshing in this heat wave. We ordered the tostadas and burritos chistosos. The food came out rather quick as we were one of two tables there. My tostadas were good just extremely messy to eat. The two mini burritos the beef was far superior to the chicken one. The crema queso sauce was the best part of the burritos for it was packed with flavor. The beans and rice were just okay as they really didn't have any type of flavor. Pricing was average depending on what you ordered and most meals came with a side of rice and beans as well. read more

Tino's Mexican Kitchen is everything you want in a local spot and more. Tino himself sets the tone the moment you walk in--warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone has a great experience. That hospitality carries through the entire staff, who are attentive, friendly, and make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The food is outstanding and truly authentic--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels like it comes from a place of pride in the cuisine, not shortcuts. It's also BYOB, which makes it even better--and somehow Tino always seems to have plenty of tequila on hand for a friendly shot or two with his guests. Add in the live music, the back patio, and the overall vibe, and you've got one of the most fun atmospheres in Red Bank read more

After a long day, I needed something comforting for dinner so I looked on the map and saw a few options that peaked my interest. Tino's is located in a Hispanic neighborhood next to a small grocery store. I was lucky to find parking right by the restaurant as someone was leaving as I pulled up. Inside, they have a small space with some tables but they also have seating out back from what I heard. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. I settled on the tacos as I was hungry but not ravenous. The order came with four tacos but I was full after 3. One thing they do different is that they only use one tortilla whereas other places use two. The two tortilla approach is better IMO because your taco is less likely to fall apart. If I'm back in Red Bank, I'll be paying Tino's another visit. read more

Whether eating in or having it delivered to your home, Tino's is always authentically delicious!! From the homemade tortilla chips to tacos to fajitas, delicious! read more

Tino's has the best salsa! If you ask, they will pack it in bigger containers and sell it to you in bulk to use at home. We used it in our tamales and they came out fantastic. My family also loves their tacos and their traditional decor. They have some entertainment out back, but we enjoy it inside. read more

I had seen this place online and finally got a chance to try it out when I went to get my cats spayed about 10 mins away from their restaurant, this was a year ago and till this day its one of the most authentic mexican restaurants I have been to, very simple, great taste and equally great service. Hopefully I get a chance to stop by again soon. read more

The only reason I put one star on my review was because there was no 0 star but if I could I would put 0 stars. Do NOT get fooled by the tiktoks!! By far this is the worst mexican restraunt I have been to and the food was so horrible. The food didn't have no flavor as well. No photos because it was not worth the picture. read more

Great vibe Owner is always there Food is spot on Bands are great . A terrific home in the wall place . read more

Roasted Chicken was drying overcooked no real flavor. However, the people were very courteous, and so I hope they can work on the quality of their food. read more

We found the food to be just ok, but that could be because we both had dishes covered in Chipotle cream sauce that was bland. We ordered the enchiladas suizas and the burritos chistosos both were just fair. I ordered dishes covered with chipotle cream sauces at other Mexican places, and it had so much more Mexican flavor. Their sauce was creamy, but bland. The dishes both came with rice and beans. The rice tasted like it was an instant box rice, but the beans were good. We would give it another shot, but order dishes with a different sauce. read more

I have been meaning to try Tino's Mexican Kitchen and finally ordered food from the restaurant this weekend. I was so happy I finally decided to try it because the food was so good! I ordered the Al pastor tacos and they were AMAZING! They were super flavorful and the pineapple just took it to another level! My husband was very happy with the burrito chistosos and the chipotle crema sauce. The fajita were also very tasty and held up nicely even though we got the food delivered. Next time I want to go eat in the restaurant to get a better feel for ambiance and service. If you're looking for good Mexican food in Red Bank, Tino's is a must try! read more

The Owner is very personable and friendly and makes you feel like you are part of his family the minute you walk in the door. He prefers to stay a small business so he can keep it personable , and is very grateful for everything he has , and for all his customers. read more

I've been by this place a few times and have been hesitant to try it, until today. Walking in the door you get that open flame BBQ smell that just invites you in. Watching the rotisserie with chicken cooking is hypnotic. On to the food, I ordered the Tino's Trio to get a little taste of several meats, (pork ribs, chicken, and sausage) to go. When I got back to my hotel I was extremely surprised by the tenderness and flavor of the meats. Holy S*it was it amazing!!! One of the best meals I've had in a while. The rice was cooked to perfection and the beans were just as accommodating. Portion size was good, a great value. I wish I had stayed and dined rather than getting it to go so I could absorb the BBQ smell while I ate. I will definitely give Tino's a revisit, if you haven't tried them I recommend you do sooner rather than later. Next time I will try one of their authentic Mexican dishes. Thanks for a great meal Tino's!!!! read more

Food was good I had the sopes although the tortilla was a bit hard but it was yummy, my friend had the enchiladas he said the tortilla was undercooked, so the enchilada would fall apart. The service was fantastic though our waitress Sarah was very friendly and kind. The whole Vibe of the restaurant is gorgeous from the inside to the outside seating, the whole crew is very friendly which I loved I would definitely be back for more food and the great service. The water is very yummy we both got pine apple water tastes very fresh. The prices are great for a lot of food! read more

Tino's was incredible! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was amazing, drinks were delicious and service was friendly and wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

Went to Tino's on a Friday night around 6:30, with a party of 5. We were seated right away and quickly given chips and salsa. FYI: the inside is smaller, so if you have a larger party, definitely make a reservation / call ahead. When the weather is nicer, they have a really nice outside dining area, that opens up the space. When it comes to the food, the portions are LARGE! They constantly refill the chips and salsa, without having to ask. Big fan of spicy, which their red salsa is. On the other hand, their salsa verde is more mild. We got a few appetizers (tortilla soup and shrimp cocktail.) All were great! In terms of meals, we had everything from skirt steak, to burritos, and cheese quesadillas. Each meal comes with rice and a small vegetable meldrum. Everyone enjoyed their food and portions. Their rice and tortillas are light and a nice accompaniment to the meals. The two mini burritos (chicken and steak) are in this chipotle sauce that is to DIE for. (I get this for my quesadillas.) I do have to say my favorite part of Tino's is Tino, the owner. He is always present at his restaurant, with a smile on his face, talking to his customers and making you feel at home. It elevates the whole experience! read more

Mexican BBQ so good, the Trio of ribs, chicken and chorizo was lean and full of flavorful. A definite repeater

amazing!!! the food is so flavorful. the portions are large. I ordered the plantains, sopes, and horchata. Everything was spectacular. The food wasn't greasy or heavy. The price is very affordable. the owner was really nice and the customer service was excellent ! I'm so glad that I saw them on Tik Tok! read more

3 of us went at 1:00 on a Monday. We were literally the only ones there, which was worrisome. On a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being best) the food was a 3, and the service was a 1. The waitress was non-existent. We sat outside in the back, and it was as if she just forgot about us. Which is funny since we were the only customers. When we asked for anything it was like pulling teeth. We were friendly to her and her stone-faced expression was entirely unwelcoming. read more

Ordered take out and woooow!! Phenomenal food, their tortillas and chips are soo fresh. I got the shrimp chimichanga and it was fantastic - very fresh shrimp and the side salsas are such a great addition for a little more spice. The guac was so fresh too and nicely seasoned with lime, it was a great pairing with the chips (ate every last crumb lol). It seems they also make their hard taco shells in a similar fashion as the chips. My partner had the pork hard tacos and was raving about them! Next time I would love to see what their dessert options entail. ALSO they have a really cute patio and are BYOB! read more

The back patio is super cute. They have music and lights to set a cool vibe. The food was disappointing and lacked flavor. We had the mini burritos (comes with one chicken, one steak) and the beef chimichanga. Both dishes had peas, corn, & carrots in them. I think the trio is just in their rice mixture and both the chimichanga and burritos had rice inside. The chimichanga was very crispy, which I loved, but it lacked so much flavor I only ate 2 bites. We also ordered a horchata...it was good. Come and decide for yourself, but I will not be returning. read more

Tino's Mexican Kitchen - Beef Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

The owner Tino was very hospitable. The food was above average but not a 10. A little skimpy on the guacamole The Al pastor was perfect. The beef taco was too salty for my taste. The patio ambiance was amazing place to hang out and listen to music. read more

If you are looking for classy keep walking, but if you crave some down home Mexican cuisine, this will be your go to place. The burritos were excellent and my granddaughter thought the enchiladas were too spicy, which I consider a positive. Fast friendly service, reasonable prices. I thought the guacamole could use a little more heat. BYOB read more

Amazing food pricey but worth it!!! Definitely one of the best in the area. Amazing cerviche tostadas and guacamole!!!!

Great food and service at a very affordable price! BYOB My husband had bbq chicken which was mist and cooked to perfection. Virgin frozen margaritas are delish. You can add your own tequila if desired read more

Very tasty and reasonably priced. One of our go to places in Red Bank. Service is good and decent atmosphere.

Wife and I were craving tacos and decided to give Tino's a try. Both the shrimp and Al pastor tacos were insanely good. So good we got them a second time. Lot of locals foot traffic which is always a good sign. Will have to explore the rest of the menu next time. read more

Tino'smexicankitchen.com We've driven by a few times and said we need to stop. Am I happy we stopped today. You walk in and the place attacks your senses. Warm inviting colors and Mexican decor, the happy upbeat dancing Mexican music, the sounds of the grill cooking your food to order and the smell of the wood fired grill being used. Pleasant, attentive wait staff ready to explain and answer any question you have about the food they have to offer. I ordered number 24 for Burritos Christosos on the menu and it says two mini burritos one chicken one beef. There was nothing mini about the meal that I had. Beyond delicious flavors. The beef melted in my mouth and the chicken had a wonderful delicious flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone willing to try authentic Mexican food. read more

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten in. The food is authentic, delicious and reasonably priced. I found this place during Pandemia in 2020. The Fajitas, guacamole and everything on menu is authentic Mexican. Tino talks to his guests, and he just threw me for a loop with his honesty and friendship. Do not miss this place. It's worth every penny you spend here read more

This is a five. No way a 3. One of a kind Tino's. Formerly Pinos is authentic Mexican family restaurant. Not a taco bar. Pozole, many specials. Amazing hardwood (!) grilled chicken. Very special chicken. Friendly. Great home made photos slice fries. Very special spot. For real. Not Tex mex at all. Operator TINO bought it from Lino ! So new name. The most authentic mexican food in Monmouth. Never had this good in Brooklyn. read more

the tacos de Al pastor was TERRIBLE, worst places to eat ever. The owner Tino kept trying to talk down on Celito Lindo, saying it's not "Lindo" . I personally would never eat there again. I didn't even eat a full taco, after one bite I wanted to leave. Horrible, Horrible, HORRIBLE. 0/10 wouldn't recommend. I even wanted to throw up by the time I arrived to my car. Oh my god.. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED WITH THE HORCHATA! DISGUSTING!!! I had to order a coke because I could not drink the horchata. If I could give this place a 0 I would , but I can't. SOOOOOO nasty. read more

Hit or miss. The first several times were absolutely delicious, some of the best mexican food we've had in Monmouth County. Last night was the first time we ate inside. There's no A/C inside and was a little dirty, especially the menus. One of our orders was wrong, but Tino corrected it immediately and it was good. We always love the rice and beans, but last night they had no taste at all. So bland. 30 minutes after having steak fajitas, one of us had food poisoning. He was the only one who ate steak and was sick. The other main dishes were tasty but not as hot (temp-wise) as usual. We're going to wait until the fall to try again. We can say that Tino himself is lovely! read more

Tino's has delivered time and time again. Twice in two weeks we have ordered delivery from Tinos, and it has been DELICIOUS. Real, fresh ingredients that have been just grilled to perfection. We have gotten the Parilla Mexicana over and over again, and it's absolutely perfect for two people and then some for lunch the next day. This is a grill mix: comes with grilled chicken cuts, shrimp, marinated beef strips, and spicy pork ribs. It also comes with fresh made tortillas, grilled cactus and jalapeños (yummm) and a fresh pico de Gallo, as well as two other sauces, beans and rice. Wow. So so good, so fresh, and so fun to put together your taco. We ALWAYS get a guacamole or two as well. The guac is always so fresh and perfectly seasoned, and I am hardly ever impressed by guacamole. Just enough lime, salt, cilantro, and freshly fried, crispy chips. Delivery is done through Tinos and sometimes takes a bit of time, but honestly expected- it's always been on Friday or Saturday nights and is a little over an hour. Honestly perfectly fine for us, we are happy to have food delivered without Grubhub or Uber eats taking a huge percentage. My husband absolutely cannot get enough of this place and is always his go to when asked where he wants to eat. Tinos is an absolute gem. We love it. read more

I've noticed a change the last few times I've ordered their fajitas. It used to be very flavorful n delicious with generous portion. Lately the portion was almost half of what it used to be n it was bland. Tried to give them a chance but it's the 3rd time. So disappointing! Not worth ordering from your restaurant anymore, looking for another establishment! read more

Tacos are ok for Jersey but this Texas boy needs better. Service is horrific - expect to ask for your check half a dozen times. 20 minutes after I finished eating, I finally got my check. But that seems to be par for the course around here, at any kind of dining establishment. read more
