“ This was our first time coming here, but it definitely won't be the last! The service was very good. The food was fresh and delicious. We started with chips and salsa plus guacamole, all fresh and homemade. We had the chicken fajitas and they were the best I've had in years. We also had a fresh mixed salad which was very tasty. A great local choice. ”
“ Another delicious meal at Dona Julia with friends. Ambience nice open space and clean. Service very professional and friendly. Very price friendly as well. This is our go to for Mexican food at the shore. Give them a try and you will be happy! ”
“ Service was friendly and quick, ambiance is about the same as most other hole-in-the-wall Mexican spots, and the food ranges from delicious to average. Whenever a typical freebie is charged a la carte I expect it to be superior to the typical version, such as with chips or bread for that matter. Therefore $10 for chips with guacamole seems a little pricey, even if guacamole would be an up-charge anywhere elseregardless. The chips start at $5 for a simple platter with mild red salsa. While nice and fresh, they were simply good chips--not better than the average complimentary basket. Their guacamole is extremely creamy, almost too much so for me. Meanwhile, their green salsa is spicier than most with good flavor. The tacos, fortunately, were delicious. Both the beef brisket and the fish tacos would get a 9.x rating. Their homemade corn tortillas are excellent, the meat and fish are seasoned well, and there are plentiful toppings for authentic flavor. For $4-$5 they're priced decently as well. A chorizo torta was loaded with ingredients and served on solid bread, but it was average compared to exceptional versions I've had in the past which have also come with fries and/or chips from other places. I would come back since the tacos were worth in this case jogging out of town to get, but I think I would strategize my plan better: maybe one serving of chips with salsa, then 3-4 tacos. Better yet for sharing: a platter of tacos, which has to be ordered a la carte, could be phenomenal. ”
“ Food was delicious, salsas were on point. Ordered chicken fajitas, flavor was good but they topped it off with melted cheese which was a first for me but I guess that's normal for the region of Mexico they're cooking food from. Also ordered chicken taquitos, they were good too. Will be making the drive to Point Pleasant for this joint. Service was great and it's BYOB. ”
“ Food was amazing! We were around the area and hungry with two young kids, and everyone loved what they ordered. Will definitely be back! ”
“ Great service and clean restaurant. The food was super good and their horchata was tasty. I did think that the chalupas would have a thicker shell but they were corn tortillas. Still good though. My shrimp enchiladas were flavorful but the cheese inside needed to be more melted. The rice and beans were really good. The flan was good and the caramel was just right. ”
“ Found this place on yelp when I was looking for some Mexican while visiting point pleasant. I went in for lunch and it seemed like an authentic establishment with a menu of lots of good traditional Mexican items. I did the beef enchiladas and it was a very healthy portion. Little cubes of fairly tender meat smothered in cheese , rice and beans on side. I will go back and try some other dishes for sure ”
“ Great gem. Servers there are super friendly and warm. Highly recommend their chicken tomato soup! Soooo good, the shrimp taco was fine, spicy pork taco was just ok, very dry. It's a byob place in case you want some alcohol to drink. ”
