Looking to get a meal that combines big and bold flavors with hearty portions that are enough to fill even the hungriest belly? If that sounds like something you’re after, you have got to try out the spots for Mexican food that made our list below. In order to give you the best local flavors our town has to offer, we picked our five favorite Mexican restaurants right here in Keyport, NJ for you to try.

This place started out as a pizza joint back in 2002 that also offered a few Mexican dishes made from the owner’s traditional recipes. People liked those dishes so much that they decided to change to a Mexican restaurant and make authentic food connected to their roots. The result is some authentic and delicious dishes. Our favorite dish here might be the Poblano Mole, with tender chicken sauteed in sesame seeds and a flavorful homemade mole.

If you need your Mexican cuisine fix in a hurry, you’ll love the fast service you’ll get at Los Corrales. Start out with some of their delicious flautas for a fluffy and tasty treat. As far as a main dish goes, you can’t go wrong with the tacos they serve up. Available with your choice of meat like shrimp, chicken, or pork, they come with a green sauce that kicks the flavor up to the next level.

When Antojitos told us that they had the authentic Mexican cuisine we’ve been looking for in our town, we had to check them out. The fresh-made tortilla chips with homemade salsa you’ll get to snack on while waiting for your other dishes sure got us off to a good start. We also loved the Carne Asada plate here, which comes with rice and beans, tortillas, and pico de gallo on the side to complete your meal.

You’ll know right from the name of this local spot that the tacos they serve up here are right up with the best of them. The authentic blend of flavors that come in any meat you choose for their street-style tacos tell you the sort of passion they put into their cooking. Although their tacos are a great choice, you’ve got to try the tortas here as well if you’ve never had the traditional Mexican sandwich.

Seafood loves have got to check out Garibaldi for their Camarones a la Diabla, with shrimp served up in a spicy diablo sauce with a side of tasty rice and beans. There are plenty of other dishes to enjoy here too, like their fajitas which come out of the kitchen on sizzling plates for a fun as well as delicious experience.

These local spots do our town proud with the friendly service and quality food they prepare. We strive for that same level of customer service and quality at our dealership. Come on in to Tom’s Ford to experience the local difference!
