Reviews for Buckets Margarita Bar & Cantina in Stone Harbor, NJ

Great food. Great views. Just be ready for no shade. We got the pork carnitas on corn tortillas. The amazing Mexican chopped... salad. And cheese quesadilla for kids. Read more

View was great, but that was about it. My wife got the taco salad with chicken and almost immediately got sick because of it.... My tacos were drowning in grease and were basically inedible. The margarita my wife had was so sweet I almost spit it out andshe left on the table as trash. Read more

If it wasn't for the server being nice, I would have given this place a zero. Inflation or no inflation, the prices were so... outrageous for what we received, the Reeds should be ashamed... this dish was shrimp burrito bowl cost $21-7 small shrimp, 1/2 cup of beans and white rice, 1/4c of shredded lettuce, alittle bit of tomato, diced onion and some sauce... chicken chipotleburrito had zero taste. Chips and salsa for $9 came with 1/2 c up of tomato salsa. And some chips... This will be the last timewe visit. In response to the "owners" response: Your reply is actually funny and appalling at the same time and sounds like theteenage bus boy wrote it... local does not mean higher prices nor tasteless produce, just chalk it up as a bad night, hell, inthe middle of dinner service, you ran out of bowls and had to use take out bowls... and if you would of read some of the othercomments, you will find that this wasn't an isolated incident.

Clean, on the beach spot. Customer service was decent. Initially I hesitated coming after seeing the star reviews but couldn’t... believe such nice lookin restaurant has such poor review. Well I understand why now 2adults 2 kids =160$ , not worth it at all ,didn't order nothing crazy either. 1 drink from the car = $21 ? Why…..Overpriced for what they served. Disappointed ????

The view is the best part of this restaurant. Food is extremely underseasoned and basic. Not true authentic Mexican, but for... shoobies I guess they accept it. Mahi tacos were bland, slapped together on a slow day, had to add limes and salt myself evenwith the sauces they threw on. Friends shrimp tacos came with picked onions but mine didnt, I had to ask for some. Minimalcilantro. Margaret the waitress was nice but didnt smile once. This was Monday afternoon, servers were standing around thekitchen window and no one even bothered to acknowledge we exhisted. Everyone looked miserable. Asked a young girl if we couldsit outside she said go ahead, then no one came with menus, we had to get up and get them ourselves. Would never return even ifthe meal was free, thats how bad.

Lunch was idealic on the bay. Beautiful view, fantastic cocktail and delicious tacos! Perfect way to spend your afternoon!

The restaurant is located in River front, gorgeous view and atmosphere to dine around summer evening time. Usually it’s really... packed around dinner time. But the disappointment is the restaurant lacks in drinks and food quality. The strawberry jalapeñomargarita barely had any taste of strawberry, it tasted jalapeño with alcohol. For the Mojito, the mint wasn’t crushed,rather just dumped into the drink. For the tacos, shrimp taco was the best. It had some good seasoning. Baja taco was average,it could use some seasoning. I was really saddened by the chicken taco. The chicken had no seasoning, seemed like it was boiledin water and thrown on top of the tacos. The chicken pieces were chunky, instead of shredded or cut into smaller cubes. Eventhough the ambience, view and service were great, unfortunately the taste and quality of drinks and food would need massiveuplifting for us to go back to this place. Food taste - 2/5 Food prep time - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Price - $$$ Itemstasted: Shrimp tacos - 5/5 Baja fish taco - 3/5 Chicken taco - 1/5 Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita - 1/5 Mojito - 2/5 Read more

The food was decent, a bit expensive for what it was though. Queso dip was really good, though not really "Mexican". Quesadillas... were decent. View of the water which is nice. There was a skunk rummaging around near the tables and staff did not see at allconcerned when we told them they may want to call animal control. Luckily it didn't spray but I don't think they would havecared if it did. Read more
