The food was really good. I have my reservations about the way this drive-thru is set up but the place was empty when I was there so there was no issue for me

I found my forever home!!! I lived in San Diego for 5 yrs but moved home almost 20 years ago. I've been searching for a Mexican spot that was even a 10th as good as it was in SD. This place is it! It's almost spot on. I went there yesterday for the 1st time and was already back the very next day. I've tried every place in a 40 mile radius. Nothing even compares. The guy taking the order is also the nicest person I've ever met

Our new favorite TacoTastic location, and we are TT fans from the start (Fischer Blvd). The Tijuana tacos with grilled chicken were amazing, and my fiancé loved his steak quesadilla. I’m going to have dreams of the churros and Tres Leche cake. The gentleman who took our order was so sweet, and was happy to teach us some Spanish when we asked while ordering. We also liked the stick that they put the bag of food on to reach our window as the take out window/curb is a bit far from the car. 10/10, glad to see the success of this awesome family business!

Love this drive thru! It’s the perfect little stop before or after the gym. (Right by Tom’s River Fitness) They always make the food fresh and their staff is very friendly. :0) Their rice and beans are my favorite. I always get their guacamole to mix in with the rice and beans. Then I scoop that with their delicious chips. Perfect little snack. My family loves all of their locations. Definitely try it out and support local businesses!

For a drive through taco place, I'm blown away! I absolutely loved the chicken and beef empanadas. The beef was gooey and delicious. The chicken was so fresh, juicy and one of the best chicken empanadas I've ever had. They were so good I drove through a second time to bring a few home. The tres leches cake was so light and perfectly sweet - sinfully good! I hope we get one of these on 72 in Manahawkin. Love this food!!
