Stopped here from work, and was not expecting such amazing food on a Friday afternoon! Service was extremely fast and their ambience including seating was more than sufficient! Never had a chimichanga before but this was delicious!

Great find! The meat is amazing. Seems to be family owned and friendly. Small store front restaurant but excellent food

I really thought this place was very good. We had the chicken tacos and it wasn't smothered in sauce. Perfectly seasoned and accompanied with a light salsa. Counter service was quick. Definitely plan on returning.

Carnitas burrito, chicken chimichanga, chicken fajita tacos ... all delicious! This place is really good and all items we had were fantastic! Rice and beans were good and the guacamole was also great. The pork was something I look forward to getting again , I also loved the fajitas. The only negative, which I would deduct 1/2 star would be that they charge extra for salsa a hot sauce and they don't give you any ,they did give some pico with the chimichanga but it was awful, watery onions and sone tomatoes. Their some hot sauces on the table that is sufficient but it's bottled. Definitely go here ! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

A friend and I actually went to a restaurant for a lunch next to Tacos by the Shore but we noticed several people were waiting for the food so we walked over there and so glad we did. The lady behind the counter was so gracious to walk us through the process of ordering. This is a build your own taco place. We ordered three shrimp tacos and they were delicious! My husband and i are visiting from out of town but next time we are here we will be visiting Tacos by the Shore again.
