" Had a mixed experience here. The fish tacos were tasty, but my friend's shrimp dish was a bit overcooked. Service was friendly, though a bit disorganized, and cleanliness could be improved. While I enjoyed my meal, my friend left disappointed. I think there's potential, but consistency is key for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic tacos! I tried the birria tacos and they were mouth-watering. The service was friendly and the wait wasn't too long. The atmosphere was vibrant with beach vibes. Portions were generous, and overall, I had a wonderful experience. I will 100% be coming back next time I am in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent visitor to Cape May, Tacos by the Shore has become a staple for my family. The barbacoa tacos are simply outstanding—immensely flavorful and generously filled. The service is consistently friendly; the staff always goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The portions are perfect for satisfying a big appetite, and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality. The atmosphere is casual and beachy, perfect for a laid-back meal after a long day at the shore. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos by the Shore during a trip with friends. The ambiance was fun and lively, just what we needed to start our beach day! I tried the al pastor tacos, and they did not disappoint! The meat was flavorful, and the garnishes added a nice touch. The staff was efficient and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of. The portions were just right, and I’d say the prices are fair considering the location. I’ve already decided to make this a regular pit stop during my beach excursions! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent, but I expected more authenticity based on the reviews. The tacos were good, but not the best I've had. The service lacked some warmth, which is often key in a casual setting like this. The place also felt a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. Nevertheless, I would still recommend trying it out; you might have a better experience than I did. Overall, not bad but definitely not mind-blowing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this place by chance on my way back from the beach. Their tacos are refreshing and taste just like the ones I had in Mexico! The only slight downside was the busy atmosphere, which made it a little rushed, but the flavors compensated for it. If you care about authenticity, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had some of the best authentic tacos here! Tried the carne asada and was blown away by the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The atmosphere was casual but comfortable. Plus, the waitstaff were attentive and fun! Definitely will return for more. " (*Curated Review*)
