This list could be made of just Toms River Mexican spots and they would all be great choices. But La Cazuela de Dona Mary is one of the best. Their massive menu means you could go every night and still try something new - and delicious.
Los Aztecas (500 Atlantic City Blvd., Bayville)
A small spot in a small strip mall with huge flavors. Don't judge it by the outside. Enjoy a delicious torta or try one of their many burrito varieties. The carnitas burrito is a popular choice. They also have a wide selection of seafood dishes.
El Paisa (21 S. Main St, Suite 6, Barnegat)
Another great hole in the wall just off Route 9, everything served here is fresh and authentic. They have classic Mexican meats like tripe or beef tongue, but those who have less adventurous palates will still find something they like, such as their flavorful quesadillas.
