Absolutely love the new and improved Loteria! The enhanced cocktail menu is great and has such reasonably priced drinks especially for Asbury. We had the patatas bravas, various tacos, chips guac, and a steak quesadilla. They added crispy mushroom taco that was so delicious! Our server, Lauren was also incredibly attentive and sweet. Highly recommend!!

Loteria in Asbury Park isn’t just serving tacos, it’s delivering tiny, tortilla-wrapped miracles. I came in hungry and left spiritually fulfilled. The flavors are complex, the textures are perfect, and the emotional connection I formed with two tacos? Honestly a little concerning. Oh, and their margs are refreshing and cooler than the other side of the pillow. The vibes are immaculate. The staff are cooler than me (not hard, but still). The food hits harder than a telenovela plot twist. And the guacamole? Absolutely delicious. Creamy, fresh, and the kind of thing that makes you question every other guac you’ve ever met. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I write a love song about their tacos? Already halfway done.

Our meal here was an experience of cosmic proportions. The chimichanga (a Sunday special) was unbelievable. The meat was delicious, but somehow the star of the show was the rice and beans. This fried burrito was a religious experience! The queso dip is serious business. The cheese sauce itself had great texture and richness. With the addition of the chorizo.. an insane flavor! The tacos were simple but delicious. The margarita was refreshing, sweet, salty, and strong. The churros were the perfect end of an excellent meal. Absolutely would recommend!

This is a really nice place with some solid food and staff. Really enjoyed my tacos and cocktails here. I love the decor, it's very fun and fitting. The tortillas for the tacos are pretty small but they are loaded up with meat and stuff so 2-4 for a person would be good. The prices are a little high for the premium tacos (about 7) but very reasonable for the more basic, but still yummy, tacos (like the 3 Al Pastor taco which they call "Cerdo" here). You can't go wrong with a cocktail either. There's a nice variety of different margaritas as well as Mexican beer (Corona, Modelo, etc). They have both inside and outside seating. The staff were all great as well. Definitely recommend this place.

Finally back after the refresh, and I must say the food was as consistently good as it has ever been. This time though, I was so happy to see that they have improved their craft beer list. To be honest, it is probably the best beer menu any place in Asbury Park right now. Well done and we'll be back!

We can for Cinco de Mayo the food is very very good I don't drink so I'm not really sure about the cocktails but everyone seemed to be having a very good time the atmosphere is nice they hosted a wedding shower there it was very large space for them to have the party and overall I'd say the parking was the hardest part but totally worth it once you found a place to park everything that's great
