Food was really good and our server was great. I think this is my favorite restaurant in the Barnegat-Stafford-Manahawkin area. I am Mexican so I can genuinely tell you this is good Mexican food. Yes, prices are a bit on the pricier side, but since the food and service are good, it backs it up.

I had an amazing experience here considering both the quality of food/ingredients and service. I always like to ask for my server for recommendations and wasn’t disappointed with the below dish. I ate the entire plate and did not leave a single chip. Overall service was amazing. Super friendly and fast. I cannot wait to go back and try out more dishes. Clean with tables well spaced for your comfort.

First and last time we will try this place.We got takeout. They covered my burrito in tomato sauce! Red sauce should be a chili pepper base. The chicken was tough and overall not good. The side of rice and beans was under seasoned, bland also some of the beans were hard and under cooked. My husband got the carne asada and he opted instead to make him self a sandwich with last nights leftovers. It now makes sense why this place was empty. I just thought bad it was a bad location, but no its bad food.

I love their food! They stole money. Check your tip amounts. They changed a tip I left. I left them a tip on a pickup order and they added $5 to it.

El Tenanpa is my favorite Mexican restaurant around. Honestly the salsa here alone is good enough for me. The food quality here is always amazing and the ingredients are always nice an fresh. Their menu is huge so there is sure to be something for everyone.

Food is fresh and we’ll made. First time trying their tepeyac molcajete. It was wonderful. Plenty left over for another meal. Also tried their agua fresca tamarindo (drink)….so very refreshing and not over sweet.
