Reviews for Loteria in Asbury Park, NJ
This is one of the main places I like to bring friends and family when they?re in town! Consistently good food, great drinks,... good service, and a nice vibe. Always happy to come back! Bonus that most of the tacos are gluten free ! Read more
We went today for some dinner outside. Atmosphere was lovely but the food and service was lacking. We started with the... guacamole. It was boring, bland, and cost $9 for a small which I get was the market price for avocados for the day. adding theprovided lime helped a bit but onions, cilantro, garlic would have helped more. Our meals over all were absolutely fine, butforgettable and service was over all very slow. Read more
We had pork mole tamales, vegetarian burrito, salsa totopos. The food was good but the chips are a la carte which made the bill... a bit higher than most Mexican restaurants Read more
The food and waitress was good. The Margarita's were not. They barely had any tequila in them and it tasted too sweet. You... should be able to get a good amount of tequila when you are spending $14 per glass. Read more
Loteria hits on atmosphere and service, but whiffs on taste. The menu shows variety, but the actual food lacked flavor. The... guac needed salt, the pork tacos we got were lackluster, the steak/asada were an improvement, but overall between value andtaste, I'd probably not return. Read more
I had a terrible time here? There was some serious potential here considering it had good reviews and seemed very busy. But to... start, our waitress, Shannon was very rude. She was not friendly from the beginning. She also seemed to not care about our tablecompared to others. Multiple tables that came after us got served before us and when we simply asked for straws which we waitedon for 10 minutes until we had to ask the host for them and Shannon never followed up about it. We ordered drinks and being fromout of state, I understand needing a second opinion but instead of having someone come over, she just took our IDs to the back.Then every person in our group of four had a bad food experience. The tacos were served ice cold, the bowl was served with coldcheese still on top (to which the waitress argued about how it?s because cheese solidifies even tho it was still in shredsproving it never even melted), and the quesadilla had an unusual seasoning. The tacos were also advertised as being marinatedbut very bland. I understand being a server in a busy restaurant can be difficult but the manager never even came over to askabout our experience after we told the waitress how we felt (in a very polite way). We never asked for comped food or adiscount, we just wanted to make them aware but she comes over to tell us the manager said no, they will not take money off thebill, which again, we never asked for. The two star are for the friendly hosts and good margaritas. Read more
Very cute atmosphere. Delicious drinks and food. Wonderful shrimp tacos. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely dine here... again. I love their mango ???? margaritas. Comfortable casual setting. Read more
The nachos were more like slop. They used stadium nacho cheese, and the bottom part of the nachos were completely inedible... because of how wet and soggy they were. The quesadilla was only one tortilla folded in half and microwaved. Our drinks wereextremely small for the $14-15 price tag. I don?t understand the good reviews. Read more
