When people keep coming back to a restaurant for years, that usually tells you something 👏🌮

This review from Gianna sums up exactly why so many locals and visitors love Cinco de Mayo — friendly staff, authentic Mexican food, and menu favorites people can’t stop talking about 🥰

The chicken tostadas and Al Pastor tacos got a special shoutout here, but they're far from the only things on the menu worth trying 😉

One thing's for sure: Cinco de Mayo has built a loyal following over the years ❤️

Hula's Hawaiian plates... if you know, you know 😌🌺

One of the things Hula Restaurant & Sauce Co is best known for? Their Hawaiian plates — a protein served with rice and salad, inspired by the time the Rihl family spent working a lunch wagon on Oahu’s North Shore 🏝️

Whether you go for Hawaiian Chicken, Firecracker Shrimp, Salmon Teriyaki, the Hula Combo, or one of the other plate options, there’s a reason these meals have built such a loyal following over the years 🙌

Of course, that's just one part of the menu. From fresh seafood to salads, sandwiches, and more, has been serving up island-inspired favorites in OCNJ for over 25 years 🥰

How cool are these old photos from Del’s? 🥹❤️

Their story actually starts back in 1954 with a small sandwich shop in Audubon, NJ, before making the move to Ocean City in 1965 — right to the same boardwalk location they still call home today 👏 That means Del’s Oceanside Grill has now been part of the OCNJ food scene for more than 60 years.

Back then, surfers were riding classic long boards while was building a name for their famous steak sandwiches and burgers 🌊🍔

Over the years, the menu has grown to include seafood platters, homemade crab cakes, and more, but the restaurant has stayed a longtime favorite for generations of beachgoers 🥰

There’s something really special about places with this much history behind them. 🫶

Definitely one to add to your OCNJ food list this summer 💙
