"Asbury Park is known for many things: the beach, its bars and, of course, its legendary music scene. We’d like to make a petition to add Mexican restaurants to that list, as there are some really good ones around town. But perhaps none of them are better than Los Barbaros and its eight variations of rich birria tacos that require a full stack of napkins. Go for the Mixta that comes with one quesabirria, one mulita, and one taco de birria—each overflows with queso and makes excellent use of the rich, meaty consomme. And for any hot summer night, their cucumber aqua fresca might be the most refreshing drink in the area. We actually prefer the location in Belmar, since there’s more room to eat there, but the Asbury Park one is solid too, particularly for takeout." - michael sinatra
