Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After going to Bistro Ole for years as the food slowly climbed downhill, this restaurant was recommended by an Asbury Park local. Don't go expecting Mexican. There is guacamole and the BEST empanadas, but also wonderful South American dishes like skirt steak, shrimp, and pork...chops. The people are so nice, the food so good, and the price moderate. The only downside, not the best neighborhood. Isn't that where you usually find the best food?More

After hearing someone talking about how much they enjoyed this place, I decided to check it out. Usually for Latin food in Asbury Park, Bistro Ole or La Tapatia would be my destinations. Actually, Bistro Ole is awesome, but priced beyond my humble budget. La...Tapatia, just a few blocks up the street, is also a sure bet for delicious food, huge portions, reasonable prices, and a very Mexican atmosphere. Arriving half an hour before closing, we weren't sure if we'd be welcomed. The restaurant was empty by the time we arrived, but we were greeted enthusiastically by the owner and received cheerful attentive service from our servers. No 'stink eye' for daring to come in half an hour before closing, and we were not rushed out (having worked in the hospitality business, we were mindful that the staff would be happy to wrap up early, so we didn't linger an unreasonably long amount of time). The decor is sleek, modern and sophisticated, without the 'kitschy' Mexican-style decor of La Tapatia. Don't get me wrong -- La Tapatia is really nicely appointed, not like the kind of really tacky decor one finds in a national chain of Mexican restaurants. As the owner pointed out, Cotija Latin Flavors isn't 'Mexican,' but instead features a rotating menu of the diverse cuisine that one could put into the category of "Latin." Priced a little higher than La Tapatia, and being so wary of my budget this year, we ordered a taco sampler and a pork and pineapple burrito. Before those entrees arrived, we were served some fresh tortilla chips and a wonderful salsa for dipping. I wish I could remember more details, but we visited before this restaurant was listed on Tripadvisor. I do remember being too full to finish, and we enjoyed our dinner a second time (in a good way!) Kudos to Cotija Latin Flavors for adding yet another destination for discerning diners!More
