Plaza Tapatia Restaurant — Restaurant in Asbury Park

First off we got 2 mojitos, a margarita..which they charged us for a frozen margarita and also a house tequila. There was no alcohol noticeable in the margarita. All that could be tasted was simple syrup and water. The mojitos were no better as all I could taste was lime juice and mint from the leaves. We ordered some beers, which were good because they were bottles

We ordered our food at 6:45, beef nachos and 4 orders of enchiladas. We didn’t get anything for a good hour. I would think the nachos would come out first to share over, with it being an appetizer. The nachos definitely needed more cheese and substance aside from pieces of shredded beef and tortillas but they were decent. The enchiladas were tasteless beyond words. We finished them just to finish them. 3 in our party got sick from the chicken overnight. Not sure what was wrong there but we ended up getting Taco Bell nearby to satisfy our craving. Sad to say we had to resort to Taco Bell after a Mexican Restuarant.

Not to mention there were only 4-5 tables outside so there was no reason as to why they were too busy to attend to us. I don’t normally write complaints on bad service because I know restaurants need the business, especially now, but this...

After my experience at this establishment I was not completely satisfied, although there were some positives like a great atmosphere and decent service, there were definitely more negatives. The food and quality were average compared to most mexican establishments i've been to. However i was mainly concerned with the portions of the appetizers and even the entrees. I ordered an appetizer which cost my party of 3 10$, we ordered the quesadillas and it was only 6 pieces which were the smallest quesadilla slices i have ever seen in my life. About the size of a silver dollar with just cheese filling. After paying 10$ for an appetizer that wouldn't even be enough for a young child, I ordered my entree which was a mexican steak which cost me 16$, which was a reasonable price, however there were clearly not enough steak, and barely any rice or beans, and didn't even bring out the salad it came with. I am not a big person of any sorts but it was sad to see me along with my party of 3 leave the establishment starving, in all i liked the vibe and atmosphere, however the service was average, and the food quality and portions were ridiculously small, if u want a small lunch then be my guest but i would not recommend for a...

This was SO disappointing. My husband, daughter and I went here at 530pm and there was one other table. I had been here years before and everything was great. The server forgot to put our appetizer in and it came out after the meal. The margarita tasted like I was sipping sour mix out of the bottle. It was transparent and one of the worst drinks I can ever recall having. I ordered the chicken flautas and my husband had the steak flautas. Mine tasted like the chicken had been sitting in the fridge for a week and had been re fried twice. The chicken inside was so hard that I couldn’t even chew it. On top of having that old chicken taste. The server took forever to serve us, we complained of nothing and he failed to ask how our food and drinks were. We waited 10 minutes for our check to be cashed out after asking another server who proceeded to ask the bartender who said no in Spanish. The restaurant had maybe 6 tables in it when we were leaving. Food drink service all awful for $78 so disappointing. In shock this place has gotten 5 stars from other patrons. Has...
