    The Empanadas ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜‹ are a MUST! Hope this place is still there next time I visit Atlantic City. Beef & Chicken empanadas with a margarita! Very glad the guy working there said they were the bees knees. He was not lying!

    Came across this place on my last visit to AC. It's super cute and the staff is great. But the food was really bad. Really really bad! My friend and I ordered tacos (which was $6 A TACO!) and the menu does not give any details as to what comes on the tacos. My mind was seeing a delicious fish taco, lightly breaded, with some lettuce and some sauce and lime juice... but in reality it was a piece of fish slathered with some kind of sweet and sour sauce and shredded mango?? GOD AWFUL. The al pastor did taste like pineapple, but like an artificial pineapple flavored candy pineapple. I do not recommend eating here, and should have listened to the red flag of them using MOZZARELLA in a burrito! A big no no! The only thing I enjoyed was my margarita but it was $11 and I could get one in the casino for a nominal charge.

    "Authentic Mexican food",^ as if. Food was too small and cost too much for just one taco. Would have been okay with the price if the servers response to the question of how big they where wasn't decent. Honestly descent isn't taking one bite and the taco all gone. The chicken taco was alright, as was the pork. The steak taco though that's where my anger at the price and size of the food ended, and the rage began. Don't claim to be authentic mexican anything when you don't serve tacos that taste like they were made by mexican abuelas. Then claim to serve one size cup of fountain soda drinks-tiny kid sized cups.

    Extremely nice and polite servers. Food is average to good . Ambience is decent . Itโ€™s a good place to sit down and have dinner after spending the day in the beach and boardwalk

    I guess the people who post negatively here want a 5 star experience here . It's on the boardwalk you grab a couple beers and you eat tacos that's it . The staff work's hard and their kool and the latin music is upbeat.

    I stopped by, as I was going down the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The restaurant has a bar in the front section, with a good number of tables inside. *Note- they serve Mexican-style tacos, they differ slightly from the American-style tacos- ask for details when you order. 1 taco is 5.00, about normal for taco restaurants in the area. I ordered 2 tacos & a beef burrito- this was enough to satisfy my hunger, great taste, kind of pricy at 23 dollars total, but it's pretty much normal for any of the places catering to tourists. The staff was very friendly, both the barman, and the waitresses. I went on a midday afternoon; I imagine it would get quite crowded at night.

    Dined here twice. First time they forgot about our drinks. The bartender was very nice and gave us a double shot for the inconvenience. Second experience was nothing like the first. The wait was long, under staffed. The price for a single taco was very expensive. I was hoping for the price to receive something amazing but the food was mediocre at best. Then again waited forever for the bill only to find out company policy is an automatic 18% gratuity. This mean the first experience there we tipped almost 40% not knowing about the sneaky 18% they tack on! Donโ€™t recommend and will never dine there again.

    The service here is atrocios. They have a sneaky 18% gratuity which is pretty generous for a place with terrible service. We had to go flag down our waitress just to pay bc we were being ignored. Their tacos were a greasy mess and way overpriced for the kids sized version you get. They did have great margaritas but will never go back.

    The food here is deeeeeelicious! Everything I tasted was bursting with authentic flavor. It's a relief in the middle of an expensive tourist trap town. My only complaint is that it took a while for the waitress to come take our order, but after tasting the food, I really don't even mind. I recommend the 'Let That Man-Go' ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Loteria. I donโ€™t understand how this place can only have 3.9 stars. If youโ€™re looking for the most authentic Mexican food youโ€™ll ever eat in your life, youโ€™re obviously not going to get it on the boardwalk of AC. But this place does exactly what it is supposed to do. Friendly service, good drinks, and pretty good food. Beware of one of the hot sauces. It was delicious but a bit too hot. Guac was top tier. Overall we were satisfied.

    Iโ€™m so glad to have great vegan/vegetarian Mexican food at an affordable price on the beach? The salsa and tacos were amazing. This totally exceeded my expectations. I thought we would be eating peanuts and fruit all week. Blown away!! Update: we ate here 3 times in 2 days. I wish this place was in Philadelphia. I trust any food they make.

    This place is a joke. I got my $13 margarita in a plastic cup. The rice and beans were soaking in grease, my husband's were served to him cold and my empanadas had no flavor and were greasy as well. . When my husband mentioned the cold rice the waitress just walked away with no apology. The floor looked like it hadn't been swept all week. We were given the wrong check when it was time to leave. They added a gratuity to their check so no way were they getting a tip! STAY AWAY!

    Super nice place. Reasonable prices. Service was great, kept bringing us water and telling us cool things. Nachos were delish as were the guac and the refried beans. Tried to compliment our waiter to the manager and it turned out he was it! My friend Steve and I agreed that if this place was near us in NYC, weโ€™d go here frequently which is a high compliment in my mind.

    Not only was the food delicious, but the service was superb! I promised our waiter that I would give them an excellent review so, here it is. We both had burritos which was mouth-watering. I absolutely recommend this place!!

    The Best Little Big Bar and Eatery on the Boardwalk lol we had fun here and went back for more each night we were down there. The Bucket drinks are worth the money and the taste is man! They do sell food and the atmosphere is the right vibe for the beach. Also they don't rush you or make you feel like your being rushed like most places do on the Walk. A definite GO TO in my book!

    Nice little spot on the boardwalk. Manny the bartender was a scholar and a gentleman. Margarita was excellent. Chicken Quesadilla was aces. Will be back
